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.

New gender balanced bears requirements for cities
Iowa has required gender balance on state -level boards and commissions for many years, under
Iowa Code section 69.16A. Last session, the General Assembly passed legislation that applies
this requirement to the local level. This Q &A explains background on the legislation, the new
requirements in the legislation for cities and how cities can comply.
Q: What are the new requirements for gender balance on city
boards and commissions?
A: During the 2009 legislative 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.

Celebrating an environmental victory
FOX Engineering has received a 2008 Governor's Iowa Environmental Excellence Award in the
Water Quality category. Undertaken for the city of North Liberty, this project involves a membrane
bioreactor method of treating wastewater and provides a significantly higher effluent water quality
compared to conventional wastewater treatment processes. Used on a limited basis in the U.S.
it is the first of its kind in Iowa. The city has certainly "gone the extra mile" to improve the water
quality in their receiving stream; they are to be commended for their foresight and respect for
the environment. FOX would also like to acknowledge the contributions of the city's consulting
engineer, Shive- Haftery Engineering and Architecture.
"Your efforts truly exhibit the leadership and innovation important for furthering environmental
sustainabilily in Iowa." Governor Chester Culver
