The City of Marshalltown is seeking volunteer applicants for an opening on the Housing Advisory Board. Applicants must be an Iowa Registered Architect or Engineer.
The Housing Advisory Board consists of six members, four of which are qualified by experience and training to understand Housing Code enforcement. Membership on the Board shall satisfy the following required positions: one state-licensed realtor; one state-registered architect or engineer; one contractor experienced in remodeling; one lending institution representative; and two representatives of the general public, one of whom shall be a landlord. Each Board member shall have had at least five years’ experience in his or her respective field.
The Housing Advisory Board serves as a place for appeal for actions taken by the Housing Officer as part of the City’s registered rental program. This group may also grant variances of the Housing Code and make recommendations on rules and regulations for the City Council to consider. This Board meets infrequently as needed.
