Interested in serving on a county board or commission?

It is the goal of the Board of Supervisors to make public service on county boards/commissions as inclusive as possible in order to receive input from all Floyd County citizens regardless of race, creed, age, gender, sexual orientation, or political affiliation.  The Supervisors shall determine on a case by case basis if any county resident should be considered for reappointment notwithstanding the number of terms or length of service any individual may have already served on a county board/commission.  In making appointments to the boards/commissions, the Supervisors will consider among other things the willingness, interest, and abilities of the applicant to serve Floyd County as expressed in Floyd County’s Board/Commission application form, any special training or characteristics required by the Iowa Code to fulfill specific appointments, and the Supervisor’s goal to have a geographical distribution of board/commission members from all parts of Floyd County.  In addition, in every appointment the Supervisors will make a good faith effort to comply with the Iowa Code Gender Balance Law.
