Draft chapter 23: Planning and Zoning Commission

§ 23.04 Compensation

The 2026 draft's § 23.04 beside the current code's § 22.04: removed words are struck through, added words underlined.

Comparison with a draft: not adopted. The archive holds no public hearing, ordinance or vote adopting the recodified Code through the October 20, 2026 meeting packet. Until one is adopted, every page here compares the consolidated code with a draft that can still change: the revised draft with the October 6 changes is not in the archive.

A comparison with the August 2026 draft recodification prepared by Iowa Codification for the City. The draft has not been adopted and can still change; the current code (unofficial compilation) governs until a recodified Code is adopted. Matches between sections are made by machine from the texts and are reviewed where uncertain.

Renumbered or moved wording changed (94% same words)

The city's explanation

“The earlier Code provided that Planning and Zoning Commission members served without compensation. The final draft instead provides that members may receive compensation as provided by the Council, with actual expenses subject to Council approval.”

Note: The consolidated text of the current § 22.04 already says members "shall serve with compensation as provided by approval of the Council"; the draft rewords it (see the comparison).
