Section 263.8.11. Formation of local committee.

If the petition is accepted by the board for further proceedings, the board shall direct the appointment of local representatives to serve with the board as a city development committee as required by Iowa Code section 368.14. Committee appointments shall be made by resolutions of the appropriate governing bodies within 45 days of issuance of the board’s order. The resolutions shall state that the local representative selected is a qualified elector of the city or territory represented or, if none of the qualified electors of the territory will accept the appointment or the territory has no resident qualified electors, that the representative owns property within the territory. Copies of the resolutions and the address and telephone number of each local representative shall be promptly submitted to the board. In the event a city or county fails to timely notify the board of appointment of its local representative, the committee may conduct its proceedings in the absence of that local representative so long as a quorum is present.
