        368.14A  SPECIAL LOCAL COMMITTEES.         When two or more petitions for city development action or      applications for voluntary annexation describing common territory are      being considered together, the board shall direct the appointment of      representatives for each of the petitions to serve on one special      committee to consider the petitions.  Expense reimbursement and      qualifications of these representatives shall be as provided in      section 368.14.  Three board members and at least one-half of the      appointed local representatives are required for a quorum of the      special local committee.  The manner of appointment of      representatives shall be the same as for single petition committees      as provided in section 368.14.  The special committee shall consider      the petitions in conformity with the provisions of this chapter, and      shall resolve common territory issues between petitioners.  The      special committee shall conduct a public hearing on the petitions      pursuant to section 368.15.  If the common territory issue is      resolved, the special local committee may approve the resulting      compatible petitions by a single vote or separately, in its      discretion.
