252.25 BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
Every city, town, governmental entity, nonprofit corporation, or combination thereof,
establishing a developmental achievement center for children with developmental disabilities
shall, before it comes under the terms of sections 252.21 to 252.25, appoint a board of directors
for the center program. When any city or town singly establishes such a center, such board shall
be appointed by the chief executive officer of the city or the chair of the governing board of
the town. When any combination of cities, towns, or nonprofit corporations, establishes such a
center, the chief executive officers of the cities or nonprofit corporations and the chair of the
governing bodies of the towns shall appoint the board of directors. If a nonprofit corporation
singly establishes such a center, its chief executive officer shall appoint the board of directors of
the center. Membership on a board of directors while not mandatory, should be representative
of local health, education and welfare departments, medical societies, mental health centers,
associations concerned with developmental disabilities, civic groups, and the general public.
Nothing in sections 252.21 to 252.25 shall be construed to preclude the appointment of elected
or appointed public officials or members of the board of directors of the sponsoring nonprofit
corporation to such board of directors, or public schools from administering programs under
their present administrative structure.
