B. Purpose:
The purpose of the board is to hear appeals relative to repair deadlines and nuisance

landlord/tenant disputes regarding property access, nuisance abatement and rent
abatement due to the failure of the responsible party to correct city code violations in a
timely manner.
C. Internal Organization and Rules:
The board may adopt rules and regulations to govern its organizational procedures as
may be necessary and which are not in conflict with this code or the Iowa Code.
D. Procedures for Operation:
All administrative, personnel, accounting, budgetary, and procurement policies of the
city govern the board in all its operations.
E. Membership:
1. The board comprises five (5) residents of the city, appointed by the city council.
2. Residents must be eighteen (18) years of age or older.
3. Special experience and training qualifications: The housing appeals and mediation
board shall be comprised of residents with an interest in fair and equitable housing
with emphasis on balance of landlords, tenants, and other interested citizens.
F. Oath:
Each person, upon appointment or reappointment to the board, must execute an oath of
office at the first meeting of the board following appointment or reappointment or at the
city clerk's office any time prior to the first meeting of the board following the
appointment or reappointment.
G. Terms:
The term of office for members of the board is three (3) years or until such member's
successor is appointed and qualified.
H. Vacancies:
Vacancies must be filled in the same manner as original appointments.
I. Officers/Organization:
he board must choose annually a chairperson and vice -chairperson, each to serve a
term of one year. The code official or the code official's designee is the secretary of the
board. The board must fill a vacancy among its officers for the remainder of the officer's
unexpired term.
J. Meetings:
1. The board shall meet upon notice from the chairman, within not less than ten (1)
days and not more than ninety (90) days of the filing of an appeal or a request for
mediation, at stated periodic meetings, or at the written request of a majority of the
members.
2. Attendance:
a. In the event a member of the board has been absent for three (3) or more
consecutive meetings of the board, without being excused by the chairperson,
such absence will be grounds for the board to recommend to the city council
that the position be declared vacant and a replacement appointed.
b. Attendance must be entered upon the minutes of all meetings.
3. Minutes: A copy of the minutes of all regular and special meetings of the board
must be filed with the city council within ten (1) working days after each meeting,

established in the city administrative policies and budget.
L. Removal:
The city council may remove any member for cause upon written charges and after a
public hearing.
M. Powers:
1. Repair Timeline Appeals:
a. An appeal of repair deadlines shall be based on a claim that specific code
violations cannot be corrected in the timeframe prescribed by the inspector.
The board shall evaluate whether the violations can be corrected in the time
frame prescribed by the inspector. The board may uphold the timeframe
prescribed by the inspector or grant an extension of time not to exceed nine
(9) months from the date of the notice of violation.
b. In no event shall the board have the authority to amend the violation as
determined by the inspector or wave requirements of this code.
2. Nuisance Abatement:
a. An appeal of a nuisance abatement order shall be based on the claim that the
true intent of Title 6, Chapter 4 and 8 related to rubbish and garbage have not
been correctly interpreted or the provisions don't fully apply. The board may
uphold the finding of a nuisance and ordered abatement, modify the deadline
for nuisance abatement, or reverse the nuisance designation based on
determination that the condition is not a violation of the code.
b. In no event shall the board have the authority to waive the requirements of this
code.
3. Mediation:
a. An application for mediation shall be based on the claim that either the
landlord or tenant have failed to fulfill their duties as required by the lease
between the parties, the Iowa Code, or the city code.
b. The City will work directly with magistrates within the Iowa District Court in and
for Dubuque County to best serve the needs of the involved parties and
encourage building positive landlord tenant relationships for the betterment of
the community during an eviction proceeding.
c. The board will hear all issues related to the requested mediation, ask
questions necessary to develop a full understanding of the issues, guide
participants to develop mutually agreeable solutions, and assist in recording
binding written agreements between the parties.
Failure to resolve issues in mediation will result in a referral to the appropriate
jurisdictional authority (court) along with a copy of the mediation record and
any exhibits or evidence provided by parties of the mediation.
4. All appeal hearings shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures
specified in this Code.
N. Application For Appeal:
1. Any person affected by a nuisance abatement order or repair timeline decision of
the code official shall have the right to appeal to the housing appeals and
mediation board, provided a written application for appeal is filed within twenty (20)
days after the day the decision, notice, or order was served and prior to the
deadline on the notice.
2. An application for appeal shall dispute the timeline necessary to complete repair or
the designation of a condition as a nuisance.
O. Disqualification Of Member:
A member shall not hear an appeal in which that member has a personal, professional,
or financial interest.
P. Postponed Hearing:
Either the City, the party appealing, or a mediation participant may request a
postponement of a proceeding subject to the approval of the Code official. In no event
may a postponement exceed ninety (90) days beyond the date of the appeal.
