400.2  Qualifications--conflict of interest.

The commissioners must be citizens of Iowa, eligible electors as defined in chapter 39, and residents of the city preceding their appointment, and shall serve without compensation. A person, while on the commission, shall not hold or be a candidate for any office of public trust. However, when a human rights commission has been established by a city, the director of the commission shall ex officio be a member, without vote, of the civil service commission.

Civil service commissioners shall not sell to, or in any manner become parties, directly, to any contract to furnish supplies, material, or labor to the city in which they are commissioners except as provided in section 362.5. A violation of this conflict of interest provision is a simple misdemeanor.
