VACANCIES — REMOVAL — TERMS, §69.16A
69.16A Gender balance.
1. All appointive boards, commissions, committees, and councils of the state established
by the Code, if not otherwise provided by law, shall be gender balanced. No person shall
be appointed or reappointed to any board, commission, committee, or council established
by the Code if that appointment or reappointment would cause the number of members of
the board, commission, committee, or council of one gender to be greater than one-half
the membership of the board, commission, committee, or council plus one if the board,
commission, committee, or council is composed of an odd number of members. If the board,
commission, committee, or council is composed of an even number of members, not more
than one-half of the membership shall be of one gender. If there are multiple appointing
authorities for a board, commission, committee, or council, they shall consult each other to
avoid a violation of this section.
2. All appointive boards, commissions, committees, and councils of a political subdivision
of the state that are established by the Code, if not otherwise provided by law, shall be
gender balanced as provided by subsection 1 unless the political subdivision has made a
good faith effort to appoint a qualified person to fill a vacancy on a board, commission,
committee, or council in compliance with subsection 1 for a period of three months but
has been unable to make a compliant appointment. In complying with the requirements of
this subsection, political subdivisions shall utilize a fair and unbiased method of selecting
the best qualified applicants. This subsection shall not prohibit an individual whose term
expires prior to January 1, 2012, from being reappointed even though the reappointment
continues an inequity in gender balance.

Tue Nov 24 21:20:54 2020 Iowa Code 2021, Section 69.16A (14, 0)
Q: What are the new requirements for gender balance on city
boards and commissions?
A: During the 20091egislative session, legislation (HF243) was
passed that extends to cities and counties gender balance require-
ment for all appointive boards, commissions, committees and
councils created by the Iowa code. In other words, bodies cities
are required to have under Iowa code when they provide certain
functions or services, such as the planning and zoning commission,
library boards and the board of adjustment, with appointed (not
elected) members, must be gender balanced.
Q: What does `gender balanced' mean?
A: Gender balance means if the body has an even number of ap-
pointees, it must be evenly made up of men and women. For exam-
ple, three women and three men must serve on a six member board.
If the body has an odd number of appointees, it must be "one half
plus one" of either gender. For instance, if there are five members,
three could be men and the other two women, or vice versa.
Q: When do the changes go into effect?
A: Cities must have gender balanced boards, commissions, com-
mittees and councils by January 1, 2012. This does not prohibit an
individual whose term expires prior to January 1, 2012, from being
reappointed even though the reappointment continues an inequity
in gender balance; however, cities should start planning upcoming
appointments now, to ensure gender balance is reached by that date.
Making a chart of existing boards and upcoming vacancies, and/
or keeping track of current appointments and necessary recruit-
ing periods would be a good start to ensuring your city is tracking
gender balance, and is prepared for the January 1, 2012 implementa-
tion date.
Q: Is there any option if my city simply cannot find a person to
serve on the board or commission of the needed gender?
A: Yes. Under the new code section, cities that make a good faith
effort to find a qualified person of the necessary gender to fill the
position for a period of three months and are unable to do so may
appoint a person to the position regardless of the gender balance
requirement.
Q: What constitutes a "good faith effort"?
A: There is no hard and fast definition, but cities should be able
to demonstrate a legitimate effort during the three month time
period to recruit qualified members of the necessary gender, before
appointing a member that creates gender imbalance. In addition,
the legislation requires that cities must always "utilize a fair and
unbiased method of selecting the best qualified applicants," regard-
less of gender.
Q: Is there a reporting requirement?
A: No. The legislation did not include a reporting requirement;
however, many cities keep information on their boards and
commissions —including current members- posted online, to better
inform citizens of the makeup of local governing bodies.
Q: How can I recruit more women or men to volunteer for
these positions?
A: The Commission on the Status of Women has prepared a guide
to help cities learn how to recruit gender balanced boards and com-
missions. This resource can be found at www.women.iowa.gov/
whats_new/index.html. The Commission also prepared a guide
called the "Five Step Guide to City and County Boards and How to
Get Appointed" to be used as a tool by interested women to learn
more about how to get involved in city boards and commissions.
