The committee shall conduct a public hearing on a proposal as soon as practicable. Notice
of the hearing must be served upon the council of each city for which a discontinuance
or boundary adjustment is proposed, the county board of supervisors for each county that
contains a portion of a city to be discontinued or territory to be incorporated, annexed, or
severed, and any regional planning authority for the area involved. A notice of the hearing,
which includes a brief description of the proposal and a statement of where the petition or
plan is available for public inspection, must be published as provided in section 362.3. Any
person may submit written briefs and, in the committee’s discretion, may be heard on the
proposal. The board may subpoena witnesses and documents relevant to the proposal.

Notes of Decisions
Dunn v. City Dev. Bd. of Iowa, 623 N.W.2d 820 (Iowa 2001).
· cites it 10× “The board retains considerable responsibility and authority even after the appointment of the committee. For example, once the committee becomes involved, the committee is to conduct a public hearing and publish notice.”
Budde v. City Dev. Bd., 276 N.W.2d 846 (Iowa 1979).
· cites it 4× “Petitioners argue that § 368.15, which provides for a public hearing on the annexation proposal, when considered with Board rules, required the “legal rights, duties or privileges of a party .”
City of Des Moines v. City Dev. Bd. of the State, 633 N.W.2d 305 (Iowa 2001).
“§§ 368.15-, 17. 2 . The thirty-day time limit does not commence from the issuance of the agency’s decision when a timely application for rehearing has been filed.”
Dickinson Cnty. v. City Dev. Comm., 521 N.W.2d 466 (Iowa 1994).
· cites it 2× “See Iowa Code § 368.15 . The committee reconvened in September in an open meeting to consider the proposal and ultimately voted to approve it.”
City of Des Moines v. City Dev. Bd., 335 N.W.2d 449 (Iowa Ct. App. 1983).
“It is unclear whether these cities also maintain that a hearing pursuant to § 368.15 must be held. It is apparent from a reading of the chapter that there is a distinction between voluntary and involuntary annexations.”
