Statute text

(a)As an alternative to the appointment of commissioners of the authority, the governing body of any county or city, at the time of the adoption of a resolution pursuant to Section 34240 or at any time thereafter, may declare itself to be the commissioners of the authority, in which case, all the rights, powers, duties, privileges and immunities, vested by this chapter in the commissioners of an authority, except as otherwise provided in this article, shall be vested in the governing body.

(b)If the governing body of any county or city has declared itself to be the commissioners of the authority, the governing body shall also appoint two tenants of the authority as commissioners if the authority has tenants, or within one year after the authority first does have tenants. One tenant commissioner shall be over 62 years of age if the authority has tenants over that age. Tenant commissioners appointed pursuant to this subdivision shall serve, and their successors shall be appointed, as provided in Section 34272.

(c)As an alternative to appointment of tenants of the authority as commissioners of the authority pursuant to subdivision (b), if a housing commission is created as provided in Section 34291, the governing body may make tenant appointments pursuant to subdivision (b) to the commission rather than to the authority. In communities where the housing commission also serves as the community redevelopment commission under Section 33201, the governing body may make tenant appointments pursuant to subdivision (b) to that joint commission rather than to the authority.
