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. 86 Acts, ch 1245, §2041; 87 Acts, ch 218, §8; 88 Acts, ch 1150, §1; 2009 Acts, ch 162, §1, 2 Referred to in §8D.3, 15E102, 15H.3, 23.3, 28A.7, 35A.2, 80.28, 84A.1A, 84A.4, 135.43, 135.109, 142A.3, 148.2A, 155A.2A, 159A.13, 216A.12, 216A.92A, 216A.132, 216A.162, 217.43, 235B.1, 252B.22, 256.5A, 256.35A, 272.3, 273.15, 284.15, 303A.5, 314.22, 418.5, 455A.20, 455B.150, 514E.2, 542.4, 904A.2A 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.
