        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.
