Muscatine seeks applicants for city advisory board

Muscatine is looking for a few people to fill an advisory board.

The city of Muscatine wants to fill the remaining positions on the Construction Appeal and Advisory Board that was created by the Muscatine City Council in November 2023. Applicants should have experience and training in the building construction trades. Residents of Muscatine and Muscatine County are eligible to apply.

The new board will serve in an advisory role to the City Council regarding how building codes are interpreted, implemented and written by the City of Muscatine. The board will also be the official appeals board for building code interpretations and enforcement decisions, as well as promoting public understanding of the building code and its value. City building codes are established in Title 8 (Building Regulations) of the Code of Muscatine.

People who have experience in the construction industry, including architects, engineers, builders, contractors and code enforcement professionals, have a strong understanding of building code and its application and who want to make a positive impact on their community should apply. Board members will serve a five-year term and attend and actively participate in regularly scheduled monthly meetings. No one serves more than two consecutive terms.
