80.490 Consolidated housing authority for two or more cities. (1) If the governing body of each of two (2) or more cities (whether or not contiguous) by resolution declares that there is a need for one (1) housing authority to be created
for all of such cities to exercise in such cities the powers and other functions
prescribed for a consolidated housing authority, a public body corporate and politic
to be known as a "consolidated housing authority" (with such corporate name as it
selects) shall thereupon exist for all of such cities and exercise its powers and other
functions within its area of operation (as herein defined), including the power to
undertake projects therein. (2) The creation of a consolidated housing authority and the finding of need therefor shall be subject to the same provisions and limitations of KRS 80.320 to 80.610 as
are applicable to the creation of a regional housing authority, and all of the
provisions of KRS 80.310 to 80.610 applicable to regional housing authorities and
the members thereof shall be applicable to consolidated housing authorities and the
members thereof. (3) The area of operation of a consolidated housing authority shall include all of the territory within the boundaries of each city joining in the creation of such authority,
except that such area of operation may be changed to include or exclude any city or
cities in the same manner and under the same provisions as provided in KRS 80.320
to 80.610 for changing the area of operation of a regional housing authority by
including or excluding a county or counties. (4) If the area of operation of a consolidated housing authority is decreased to only one (1) city, such authority shall thereupon constitute and become a housing authority
for such city, in the same manner as though such authority were thereupon created
pursuant to KRS 80.010 to 80.250; and for all such purposes the term "county" shall
be construed as meaning "city," the terms "county housing authority" and "regional
housing authority" shall be construed as meaning "housing authority of the city" and
"consolidated housing authority," respectively, and the term "governing body" as
used in KRS 80.420, 80.430 and 80.440 shall be construed as meaning "mayor,"
unless a different meaning clearly appears from the context. Effective: July 13, 1984
