 1   section 15E.196.  The enterprise zone commission shall
 2   also review applications from qualified housing
 3   businesses requesting to receive incentives or
 4   assistance as provided in section 15E.193A.  The
 5   commission shall consist of nine members.  Five of
 6   these members shall consist of one representative of
 7   the board of supervisors, one member with economic
 8   development expertise chosen by the department of
 9   economic development, one representative of the county
10   zoning board, one member of the local community
11   college board of directors, and one representative of
12   the local workforce development center.  These five
13   members shall select the remaining four members.  If
14   the enterprise zone consists of an area meeting the
15   requirements for eligibility for an urban or rural
16   enterprise community under Title XIII of the federal
17   Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, one of the
18   remaining four members shall be a representative of
19   that zone community.  However, if the enterprise
zone
20   qualifies under the city criteria, one of the four
21   members shall be a representative of an international
22   labor organization and if an enterprise zone is
23   located in any city, a representative, chosen by the
24   city council, of each such city may be a member of the
25   commission.  A county shall have only one enterprise
26   zone commission to review applications for incentives

32   requirements, including requirements related to
33   compensation and benefits, for a business to be
34   eligible for incentives or assistance than provided in
35   section sections 15E.193 and 15E.193A.  The
commission
36   may develop as an additional requirement that
37   preference in hiring be given to individuals who live
38   within the enterprise zone.  The commission shall work
39   with the local workforce development center to
40   determine the labor availability in the area.  The
41   commission shall examine and evaluate building codes
42   and zoning in the enterprise zone and make
43   recommendations to the appropriate governing body in
44   an effort to promote more affordable housing
45   development.
46     3.  If the enterprise zone commission determines
47   that a business qualifies for inclusion in an
48   enterprise zone and is eligible to receive incentives
49   or assistance as provided in either section 15E.193A
