  1  1    Section 1.  Section 28H.1, unnumbered paragraph 1, Code
  1  2 2007, is amended to read as follows:
  1  3    For purposes of this chapter, a council of governments
  1  4 includes the following areas established by executive order
  1  5 number 11,1969 or a chapter 28E agreement:
  1  6    Sec. 2.  Section 28H.1, subsection 14, Code 2007, is
  1  7 amended to read as follows:
  1  8    14.  Area fifteen regional planning commission serving
  1  9 Appanoose, Davis, Jefferson, Keokuk, Lucas, Mahaska, Monroe,
  1 10 Van Buren, and Wapello, and Wayne counties.
  1 11    Sec. 3.  Section 28H.1, Code 2007, is amended by adding the
  1 12 following new subsection:
  1 13    NEW SUBSECTION.  17.  Chariton valley council of
  1 14 governments serving Appanoose, Lucas, Monroe, and Wayne
  1 15 counties.
  1 16                           EXPLANATION
  1 17    This bill divides the area 15 regional planning commission
  1 18 into two councils of governments.  Area 15 will continue to
  1 19 serve Davis, Jefferson, Keokuk, Mahaska, Van Buren, and
  1 20 Wapello counties.  A newly created council of governments, the
  1 21 Chariton valley council of governments, will serve Appanoose,
  1 22 Lucas, Monroe, and Wayne counties.
  1 23    The bill strikes language stating that the council of
  1 24 governments areas were established by executive order or a
  1 25 chapter 28E agreement.  The areas are established by Code
  1 26 section 28H.1.  Pursuant to Code section 28H.5, each council
  1 27 of governments is also considered a public agency for purposes
  1 28 of Code chapter 28E.
