Subdivision 1. Public member.
A public member is a member of the city council at the time of the appointment. No more than two members may be public members. The term of office is for the remainder of the appointee's current term as a member of the city council, or for the unexpired term of the resigning HRA member, whichever term is shorter. Appointment is made by the mayor with the advice and consent of the council.
Subd. 2. Private member.
A member of the city council may not be a private member. Private members are appointed at large according to the terms and conditions set forth in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 469.
Subd. 3. Time of appointment.
Appointments of members may not be made in the months of November and December in a year in which there is a general election of city officials.
The law requires the HRA to obtain the approval of the city council on redevelopment plans and projects. Policy plans are of necessity a part if not a prerequisite of redevelopment plans and projects. Therefore, the HRA must present to the city council for council approval policy plans and no redevelopment plan or project may be initiated or implemented without the initial and continuous approval by the city council of policy plans. HRA rules, regulations, and by-laws must conform to the policy plans.
It is found that there exist in the City, properties, structures, site improvements, landscaping and buildings used for commercial enterprise and human habitation which are now, or may become in the future, substandard with respect to structure, equipment, or maintenance, and further that such conditions, together with inadequate provisions for light and air, insufficient protection against fire hazards, blight, lack of proper heating and other utilities, unsanitary conditions, and overcrowding, constitute a menace to public health, safety, and welfare. It is found therefore that adequate protection of public health, safety, and welfare requires the establishment and enforcement of minimum property maintenance standards. (Amended, Ord. No. 10-13; Ord. 14-02)
