Dilkes, City Attorney �Pw Re: State Requirements for City Boards and Commissions In her memo of July 22, 2005, a copy of which is attached, Planning Director Karin Franklin set forth the State Code requirements for city boards and commissions staffed by the Planning Department. The following are state requirements for boards staffed by other city departments: 1) Library Board. Pursuant to Section 392.5 of the Iowa Code, any proposal to alter the composition, manner of selection, or charge of a library board is subject to voter approval. Pursuant to Title 11 of the City Code, the Library Board of Trustees consists of nine members appointed by the Mayor with approval of the City Council, and a county representative. All members of the board must be residents of the city, except for the non-resident member, and all must be over the age of 18 years. 2) Airport Commission. Pursuant to Section 330.20 of the Iowa Code, the Airport Commission may consist of three or five resident voters. The terms of office can be established by city ordinance but shall be no more than six and no less than three years. 3) Airport Zoning Commission. Pursuant to Section 329.9 of the Iowa Code, the Commission consists of two members from the City, two from the County and a Chair selected by majority vote of the other members. The terms must be six years. 4) Airport Zoning Board of Adjustment.

Those include Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC), Planning & Zoning Commission (P&Z), Board of Adjustment (BOA), Historic Preservation Commission (HPC), and Public Art Advisory Committee (PAAC). Only P&Z, BOA and HPC are addressed in the Code of Iowa. 303.$4 A city must provide by ordinance for an historic preservation commission when an ordinance is enacted designating an historic district. There must be at least three members; otherwise the terms and numbers of members of the commission are left to local discretion. Guidance is given as to the expertise of members and that not more than one-third of the commission can also be zoning commissioners. A representative from each designated historic district is required.- 414.6 Requirements for a zoning commission are more vague. A commission is required if a city wants to have zoning. There are no stipulations for number, terms or qualifications. Reference is made to a city plan commission being able to act as the zoning commission, but there is no other reference in the Code to a plan commission. 414.7 By Code, the board of adjustment shall consist of 5 or 7 members who will serve for 5 years. A majority of the members must be persons representing the public at large and cannot be involved in the buying or selling of real estate. 5-Q -05 4e(3 Prepared by: Susan Dulek, Asst.

Karr, City Clerk i141- Re: By-laws of all City Boards and Commissions. On April 11, 1995, Council accepted a recommendation from the Rules Committee to amend the by-laws of all City Boards and Commissions to allow combining of 6 months or less vacancies to a full -term providing this change did not conflict with the State Statutes. The following language was recommended by the City Attorney to be incorporated into all City Board and Commission by-laws and would allow greater flexibility than the proposed 6 months: "If a position/appointment becomes vacant by reason of resignation or otherwise and results in an unexpired tern the Council may choose to fill the unexpired term in such a manner that the appointee shall continue in the position not only through the unexpired term but also through subsequent regular term." The by-laws of all City Boards and Commissions should be changed to reflect this direction, and a copy filed with the City Clerk's office. Should you have any questions regarding State Statutes please contact the City Attorney's office. cc: City Manager City Attomey Mayor and Council gAcclerftylaws AIRPORT COMMISSION; AIRPORT ZONING COMMISSION /�Q3 AIRPORT ZONING BD.

Powers and duties. (a) The airport commission shall have and exercise all of the powers granted to cities under Chapter 330 of the Code of Iowa, except the power to sell the airport.

It is my opinion that the Rules Committee does not need to take any action to approve or ratify amendments to the Airport Commission By -Laws. The Airport Commission, once established, is granted all of the powers in relation to airports granted to cities under state law (Section 330.21, Code of Iowa, 1987). An Airport Commission is an independent and autonomous body with full power and control over the operation of the airport. (Op. Atty. Gen., may 1, 1978). The authority and autonomy that has been conferred upon the Airport Commission creates an independant commission similar to the Library Board. It is my understanding that the City Council Rules Committee does not approve or ratify amendments to the Library Board By -Laws. Likewise, I do not believe it is necessary for the Rules Committee to ratify amendments to the Airport Commission By -Laws. The Airport COMminsion By -Laws, like the Library Board By -Laws, fall Within the control of the Commission and need not be over seen by the Rules committee. That being said, I have also attached a copy of the Airport Commission Sy -Laws, approved by the Commission, February 21, 1989. I believe that all of your concerns have been addressed and were incorporated into the finalized version of the By -Laws. If you have any further questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at my office. c.c. Steve Atkins Richard Blum Ron O'Neil 7W 00, BY -LAYS ir•rum Elm Section 1. Reggla Meeting&.

Amended and approved on 21 February Ig 89 airperson Vice Chairperson City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM DATE: April 10, 1989 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Bill Sueppel, Assistant City Attorney WAS RE: Airport Commission By -Laws A question has arisen concerning whether it is necessary for the City Council Rules Committee to approve and ratify any changes to the Airport Commission's By -Laws. It is my opinion that the Rules Committee does not need to take any action to approve or ratify amendments to the Airport Commission By -Laws. The Airport Commission, once established, is granted all of the powers in relation to airports granted to cities under state law (Section 330.21, Code of Iowa, 1987). An Airport Commission is an independant and autonomous body with full power and control over the operation of the airport. (Op. Atty. Gen., May 1,.1978). The authority and autonomy that has been conferred upon the Airport Commission creates an independant commission similar to the Library Board. It is my understanding that the City Council Rules Committee does not approve or ratify amendments to the Library Board By -Laws. Likewise, I do not believe it is necessary for the Rules Committee to ratify amendments to the Airport Commission By -Laws. The Airport Commission By -Laws, like the Library Board By -Laws, fall Within the control of the Commission and need not be over seen by the Rules Committee. That being said, I have also attached a copy of the Airport Commission By -Laws, approved by the Commission, February 21, 1989. I believe that all of your concerns have been addressed and were incorporated into the finalized version of the By -Laws. If you have any further questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at my office. C.C. Steve Atkins Richard Blum Ron O'Neil BY-LAWS OWA CITY MUN CIPAL AIRPORT COMM SSION ARTICLE 1.
