The voting membership of the Board is comprised of representatives of the active and retired fire and police membership (four), the cities (four), and one private citizen. Individuals are appointed to the Board by the police and fire associations and by the Iowa League of Cities. The eight voting members select a private citizen to serve as the ninth voting member.
