7 19 subsection 1, to receive incentives or assistance as provided
7 20 in section 15E.196. The enterprise zone commission shall also
7 21 review applications from qualified housing businesses
7 22 requesting to receive incentives or assistance as provided in
7 23 section 15E.193A. The commission shall consist of nine

7 25 representative of the board of supervisors, one member with
7 26 economic development expertise chosen by the department of
7 27 economic development, one representative of the county zoning
7 28 board, one member of the local community college board of
7 29 directors, and one representative of the local workforce
7 30 development center. These five members shall select the

7 32 area meeting the requirements for eligibility for an urban or
7 33 rural enterprise community under Title XIII of the federal
7 34 Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, one of the
7 35 remaining four members shall be a representative of that zone
8 1 community. However, if the enterprise zone qualifies under
8 2 the city criteria, one of the four members shall be a
8 3 representative of an international labor organization and if
8 4 an enterprise zone is located in any city, a representative,
8 5 chosen by the city council, of each such city may be a member
8 6 of the commission. A county shall have only one enterprise
8 7 zone commission to review applications for incentives and
8 8 assistance for businesses located within or requesting to
8 9 locate within a certified enterprise zone designated pursuant
8 10 to section 15E.194, subsection 1.
8 11 2. The commission may adopt more stringent requirements,
8 12 including requirements related to compensation and benefits,
8 13 for a business to be eligible for incentives or assistance
8 14 than provided in section sections 15E.193 and 15E.193A. The
8 15 commission may develop as an additional requirement that
8 16 preference in hiring be given to individuals who live within
8 17 the enterprise zone. The commission shall work with the local
8 18 workforce development center to determine the labor
8 19 availability in the area. The commission shall examine and
8 20 evaluate building codes and zoning in the enterprise zone and
8 21 make recommendations to the appropriate governing body in an
8 22 effort to promote more affordable housing development.
8 23 3. If the enterprise zone commission determines that a
8 24 business qualifies for inclusion in an enterprise zone and is
8 25 eligible to receive incentives or assistance as provided in
8 26 either section 15E.193A or section 15E.196, the commission
8 27 shall submit an application for incentives or assistance to
8 28 the department of economic development. The department may
8 29 approve, defer, or deny the application.
8 30 4. In making its decision, the commission or department
8 31 shall consider the impact of the eligible business on other
8 32 businesses in competition with it and compare the compensation
8 33 package of businesses in competition with the business being
8 34 considered for incentives or assistance. The commission or
8 35 department shall make a good faith effort to identify existing
9 1 Iowa businesses within an industry in competition with the
9 2 business being considered for incentives or assistance. The
9 3 commission or department shall also make a good faith effort
9 4 to determine the probability that the proposed incentives or
9 5 assistance will displace employees of existing businesses. In
9 6 determining the impact on businesses in competition with the
9 7 business seeking incentives or assistance, jobs created as a
9 8 result of other jobs being displaced elsewhere in the state
9 9 shall not be considered direct jobs created.
9 10 However, if the commission or department finds that an
9 11 eligible business has a record of violations of the law,
9 12 including but not limited to environmental and worker safety
9 13 statutes, rules, and regulations, over a period of time that
9 14 tends to show a consistent pattern, the eligible business
9 15 shall not qualify for incentives or assistance under section
9 16 15E.193A or section 15E.196, unless the commission or
9 17 department finds that the violations did not seriously affect
9 18 public health or safety or the environment, or if it did that
9 19 there were mitigating circumstances. In making the findings
9 20 and determinations regarding violations, mitigating
9 21 circumstances, and whether an eligible business is eligible
9 22 for incentives or assistance under section 15E.193A or section
9 23 15E.196, the commission or department shall be exempt from
9 24 chapter 17A. If requested by the commission or department,
9 25 the business shall provide copies of materials documenting the
9 26 type of violation, any fees or penalties assessed, court
9 27 filings, final disposition of any findings and any other
9 28 information which would assist the commission or department in
9 29 assessing the nature of any violation.
9 30 5. A business that is approved to receive incentives or
9 31 assistance shall, for the length of its designation as an
9 32 enterprise zone business, certify annually to the county or
9 33 city, as applicable, and the department of economic
9 34 development its compliance with the requirements of either
