Iowa Administrative Code › Agency 497 - Iowa Public Information Board › Chapter 8 - Open Meetings › Rule 497-8.1 - Notice

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
(1)
When
			 posted.
As provided in Iowa Code section
			 21.4, a governmental body shall
			 give notice of the time, date, and place of the meeting and the tentative
			 agenda at least 24 hours prior to the commencement of the meeting unless for
			 good cause such notice is impossible or impractical. The notice requirement
			 also applies when there is a change to the original notice except as provided
			 in Iowa Code section 21.4(3).
(2)
Where posted.
Notice
			 shall be posted at those locations designated in Iowa Code section
			 21.4. The notice shall be posted
			 in an area that is easily accessible by the public or in an area where the
			 notice is easily viewable by the public and shall be posted for at least 24
			 hours prior to the commencement of the meeting unless for good cause such
			 notice is impossible or impractical. The posting of a notice in an area that is
			 not normally used for the posting of notices or public announcements shall not
			 be deemed proper notice. However, if the posting of a notice in an area
			 normally used for posting of notices is not reasonable or practical such as the
			 area is under construction or renovation, the notice shall be posted in an area
			 that is otherwise easily accessible by the public or in an area where the
			 notice is easily viewable by the public.
(3)
Closed session.
When a
			 governmental body includes a closed session item on the tentative agenda, the
			 notice shall include a brief statement of the purpose of the closed session. It
			 shall not be deemed sufficient notice for the governmental body to only
			 reference the statute by number and subparagraph without more information. For
			 example, it shall not be sufficient notice for the governmental body to list as
			 an agenda item "closed session
			 21.5(1) (a)."
			 The brief statement of purpose does not require the governmental body to
			 provide more information than what is required under subparagraphs (a) through
			 (1) in Iowa Code section 21.5(1). Examples of notice deemed sufficient would be
			 "closed session 21.5(1)(c) discuss litigation with counsel" or "closed session
			 21.5(1)(1) discuss patient care quality or discuss marketing and pricing
			 strategies."
This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code chapter
				21.

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
(1)
Who may attend.
A governmental body has the discretion as to
			 who it may invite to attend a closed session. However, if the governmental body
			 holds a closed session under Iowa Code section
			 21.5(1) "c" to
			 discuss strategy with counsel, the legal counsel for the governmental body
			 shall be in attendance at the closed session either in person or by electronic
			 means.
(2) Reserved.

				21.5.
Iowa Administrative Code › Agency 497 - Iowa Public Information Board › Chapter 8 - Open Meetings › Rule 497-8.3 - Exempt Sessions

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
(1) An Iowa Code
			 section 21.9 exempt session is a meeting to discuss strategy concerning
			 employment conditions of employees of a governmental body who are not covered
			 by a collective bargaining agreement under Iowa Code chapter 20.
(2) "Employment conditions" include wages,
			 hours, vacations, insurance, holidays, leaves of absence, shift differentials,
			 overtime compensation, supplemental pay, seniority, transfer procedures, job
			 classifications, health and safety matters, evaluation procedures, procedures
			 for staff reduction, in-service training, and grievance procedures.
(3) An exempt session does not fall under the
			 requirements of Iowa Code chapter 21; therefore, notice, a tentative agenda,
			 minutes, and other requirements of Iowa Code chapter 21 do not apply.
(4) The purpose of an exempt session is to
			 allow a governmental body to formulate its position on the terms and conditions
			 of employment for non-union employees in private. An exemption from the open
			 meetings law for this purpose parallels the exemption provided by Iowa Code
			 chapter 20 for governmental bodies negotiating with employee unions. Meetings
			 to evaluate the professional competency of an individual whose appointment,
			 hiring, performance, or discharge is being considered are subject to the
			 requirements of Iowa Code section 21.5(1)

				shall contain a reference to the particular person and rule or portion thereof
				to which the order pertains. The order shall include a statement of the
				relevant facts and reasons upon which the action is based and a description of
				the precise scope and duration of the waiver if one is issued.
(1)
Board discretion.
The
			 final decision on whether the circumstances justify the granting of a waiver
			 shall be made at the sole discretion of the board upon consideration of all
			 relevant factors. The board shall evaluate each petition for a waiver based on
			 the unique, individual circumstances set out in the petition.
(2)
Burden of persuasion.
The burden of persuasion rests with the petitioner to demonstrate by clear and
			 convincing evidence that the board should exercise its discretion to grant a
			 waiver from a board rule.
(3)
Narrowly tailored exception. A
waiver, if granted, shall
			 provide the narrowest exception possible to the provisions of the
			 rule.
(4)
Administrative
			 deadlines.
When the rule from which a waiver is sought establishes
			 administrative deadlines, the board shall balance the special individual
			 circumstances of the petitioner with the overall goal of uniform treatment of
			 all similarly situated persons.
(5)
Conditions.
The board may place any condition on a waiver that
			 the board finds desirable to protect the public interest.

Time period of waiver. A
waiver shall not be permanent unless the petitioner can show that a temporary
			 waiver would be impracticable. If a temporary waiver is granted, there is no
			 automatic right to renewal. At the sole discretion of the board, a waiver may
			 be renewed if the board finds that grounds for the waiver continue to
			 exist.
(7)
Time for
			 ruling.
The board shall grant or deny a petition for a waiver as soon
			 as practicable but, in any event, shall do so within 120 days of its receipt,
			 unless the petitioner agrees to a later date. However, if a petition is filed
			 in a contested case, the board shall grant or deny the petition no later than
			 the time at which the final decision in that contested case is
			 issued.
(8)
When deemed
			 denied.
Failure of the board to grant or deny a petition within the
			 required time period shall be deemed a denial of that petition by the board.
			 However, the board shall remain responsible for issuing an order denying a
			 waiver.
(9)
Service of
			 order.
Within ten business days of its issuance, any order issued
			 under these rules shall be transmitted to the petitioner or the person to whom
			 the order pertains and to any other person entitled to such notice by any
			 provision of law.
