§ 13-20-415. Operations of authority in other municipalities or counties.

In addition to its other powers, a housing authority created for a city may exercise any or all of its powers within the territorial boundaries of any other municipality not included in the area of operation of such housing authority, for the purpose of planning, undertaking, financing, constructing and operating a housing project or projects within such municipality; provided, that a resolution has been adopted: By the governing body of such municipality in which the authority is to exercise its powers; and By any housing authority theretofore established by such municipality and authorized to exercise its powers therein declaring that there is a need for the housing authority of the aforementioned city to exercise its powers within such municipality. A municipality has the same powers to furnish financial and other assistance to a housing authority exercising its powers within such municipality under this section as though the municipality were within the area of operation of such authority. If a housing authority plans, undertakes, finances, constructs or operates a housing project or projects within the territorial boundaries of any other municipality not included in the area of operation of such housing authority or in an unincorporated area in a county other than the one in which such housing authority is located, then the board of such authority shall be expanded. A commissioner shall be appointed from each such county and/or municipality and such commissioner shall be a resident of the municipality or county, if such project is in an unincorporated area, in which the project or projects are located. The mayor of such municipality or the county legislative body, respectively, shall appoint such commissioner. The term of office, compensation, qualifications and duties of commissioners appointed pursuant to this section shall be the same as other commissioners appointed pursuant to § 13-20-408. This subsection (c) shall only apply to any municipality having a population of not less than two thousand three hundred (2,300) nor more than two thousand three hundred fifty (2,350) in any county having a population of not less than sixty-seven thousand three hundred (67,300) nor more than sixty-seven thousand four hundred (67,400) and to any municipality in any county having a population of: not less than nor more than 11,700 11,800 14,800 14,850 16,600 16,700 19,200 19,300 24,575 24,600 34,800 34,900 according to the 1980 federal census or any subsequent federal census, and the housing authority of any such municipality shall have all of the rights and responsibilities granted by this chapter. This subdivision (c)(2) shall apply to projects entered into prior to April 17, 1990, but shall not be construed to affect, modify, abrogate, limit or alter any decision, vote, contract, right or obligation entered into prior to the appointment of new commissioners pursuant to this subdivision (c)(2).
