216A.94 COMMUNITY ACTION AGENCY BOARD.
1. A recognized community action agency shall be governed by a
board of directors composed of at least nine members. The board
membership shall be as follows:
a. One-third of the members of the board shall be elected
public officials currently holding office or their representatives.
However, if the number of elected officials available and willing to
serve is less than one-third of the membership of the board, the
membership of the board consisting of appointive public officials may
be counted as fulfilling the requirement that one-third of the
members of the board be elected public officials.
b. At least one-third of the members of the board shall be
chosen in accordance with procedures established by the community
action agency to assure representation of the poor in an area served
by the agency.
c. The remainder of the members of the board shall be members
of business, industry, labor, religious, welfare, education, or other
major groups or interests in the community.
2. Notwithstanding subsection 1, a public agency shall establish
an advisory board or may contract with a delegate agency to assist
the governing board. The advisory board or delegate agency board
shall be composed of the same type of membership as a board of
directors for community action agencies under subsection 1. However,
the public agency acting as the community action agency shall
determine annual program budget requests. Section History: Recent Form
