Commissioners - Vesting of Powers of an Authority in Commissioners; Selection of Chairman and Other Officers; Employees; Quorum; Location of Meetings

A majority of the commissioners of a regional housing authority shall constitute a quorum of such authority for the purpose of conducting its business and exercising its powers and for all other purposes.   Nothing contained in this article shall be construed to prevent meetings of the commissioners of a housing authority anywhere within the perimeter boundaries of the area of operation of the authority or within any additional area where the housing authority is authorized to undertake a housing project.    (Ga. L. 1943, p. 146, § 6; Ga. L. 1951, p. 127, § 1; Ga. L. 1959, p. 141, § 1; Ga. L. 1962, p. 734, § 1.)

2021 Georgia Code|Title 8 - Buildings and Housing|Chapter 3 - Housing Generally|Article 1 - Housing Authorities|Part 5 - Regional Housing Authorities|§ 8-3-110. Area of Operation of County and Regional Authorities

 The area of operation of a housing authority created for a county shall include all of the county for which it is created; and the area of operation of a regional housing authority shall include all of the counties for which such regional housing authority is created and established, provided that a county or regional housing authority shall not undertake any housing project or projects within the boundaries of any city unless a resolution shall have been adopted by the governing body of such city, and also by any housing authority which shall have been theretofore established and authorized to exercise its powers in such city, declaring that there is a need for the county or regional housing authority to exercise its powers within such city.   (Ga. L. 1943, p. 146, § 6.)   Editor's notes.   - The language of this Code section was enacted by a 1943 amendment to Ga. L. 1937, p. 210, and was designated by Section 4B of the 1937 Act. The 1937 Act was amended further by Ga. L. 1952, p. 365, § 1, which repealed Section 4B and enacted a new Section 4B. However, the new Section 4B contained language which wholly repeated the language of the original Section 4B. Since the 1952 Act thus did not have the practical effect of repealing the language of the original Section 4B, the 1943 amendment (Ga. L. 1943, p. 146, § 6) is being treated as the sole basis for this Code section. The remainder of the language of the Section 4B enacted by the 1952 Act is codified at Code Sections 8-3-111 through 8-3-118.   JUDICIAL DECISIONS    Cited in Culbreth v. Southwest Ga. Regional Hous. Auth., 199 Ga. 183, 33 S.E.2d 684 (1945); Brown v. Housing Auth., 240 Ga. 647, 242 S.E.2d 143 (1978); Anderson v. City of Alpharetta, 770 F.2d 1575 (11th Cir. 1985).   OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL   County authority abolished upon establishment of regional authority.    - It is clear from the language of Ga. L. 1943, p. 146, § 6 (see now O.C.G.A. § 8-3-100) that any county authority within the area of operation of a regional authority must cease to operate upon the establishment of the regional authority. 1950-51 Op.

2021 Georgia Code|Title 8 - Buildings and Housing|Chapter 3 - Housing Generally|Article 1 - Housing Authorities|Part 5 - Regional Housing Authorities|§ 8-3-111. Addition of Counties to an Authority - Procedure; Effect

  The area of operation of a regional housing authority shall be increased from time to time to include one or more additional contiguous counties not already within the area of operation of a regional housing authority if the governing body of each of the counties then included in the area of operation of such regional housing authority, the commissioners of the regional housing authority, and the governing body of each such additional county or counties each adopt a resolution declaring that there is a need for the inclusion of such additional county or counties in the area of operation of such regional housing authority. Upon the adoption of such resolution, the county housing authority created for each such additional county shall cease to exist except for the purpose of winding up its affairs and executing a deed to the regional housing authority as provided in Code Section 8-3-112.   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code section, such resolutions shall not be adopted if there is a county housing authority created for any such additional county which has any bonds or notes outstanding unless, first, all holders of such bonds and notes consent in writing to the substitution of such regional housing authority in lieu of such county housing authority as the obligor thereon and, second, the commissioners of such county housing authority adopt a resolution consenting to the transfer of all the rights, contracts, obligations, and property, real and personal, of such county housing authority to such regional housing authority as hereinafter provided.   When the above two conditions are complied with and the area of operation of such regional housing authority is increased to include such additional county, as provided in this Code section, all rights, contracts, agreements, obligations, and property, real and personal, of such county housing authority shall be in the name of and vest in such regional housing authority, all obligations of such county housing authority shall be the obligation of such regional housing authority, and all rights and remedies of any person against such county housing authority may be asserted, enforced, and prosecuted against such regional housing authority to the same extent as they might have been asserted, enforced, and prosecuted against such county housing authority.

 The governing body of each of the counties in the area of operation of the regional housing authority, the commissioners of the regional housing authority, and the governing body of each such additional county or counties may by resolution declare that there is a need for the inclusion of such county or counties in the area of operation of the regional housing authority, only if:    The governing body of each such additional county or counties finds that insanitary or unsafe inhabited dwelling accommodations exist in such county or there is a shortage of safe or sanitary dwelling accommodations in such county available to persons of low income at rentals they can afford; and   The governing body of each of the counties then included in the area of operation of the regional housing authority, the commissioners of the regional housing authority, and the governing body of each such additional county or counties find that the regional housing authority would be a more efficient or economical administrative unit if the area of operation of the regional housing authority is increased to include such additional county or counties.

  The area of operation of a regional housing authority which has undertaken the development of one or more housing projects may be decreased from time to time to exclude one or more counties from such area if the governing body of each of the counties in such area and the commissioners of the regional housing authority each adopt a resolution declaring that there is a need for excluding such county or counties from such area, provided that this action may not be taken if the regional housing authority has outstanding any bonds or notes, unless all holders of such bonds and notes consent in writing to such action.   If any action taken pursuant to subsection (a) of this Code section decreases the area of operation of the regional housing authority to only one county, such authority shall thereupon constitute and become a housing authority for such county in the same manner and with the same rights, powers, and immunities as though such authority were created by and authorized to transact business and exercise its powers pursuant to Code Sections 8-3-4 through 8-3-6; and the commissioners of such authority shall be thereupon appointed as provided in Code Section 8-3-50 for the appointment of commissioners of a housing authority created for a county.

 The governing body of each of the counties in the area of operation of the regional housing authority and the commissioners of the regional housing authority may adopt a resolution declaring that there is a need for excluding a county or counties from such area only if:    Each such governing body of the counties to remain in the area of operation of the regional housing authority and the commissioners of the regional housing authority find that, because of facts arising or determined subsequent to the time when such area first included the county or counties to be excluded, the regional housing authority would be a more efficient or economical administrative unit if such county or counties were excluded from such area; and   The governing body of each such county or counties to be excluded and the commissioners of the regional housing authority each also find that, because of the aforesaid changed facts, another housing authority for such county or counties would be a more efficient or economical administrative unit to function in such county or counties.

Detachment of a County by Its Own Resolution; Assumption of Regional Authority's Bonds, Notes, and Other Obligations by an Authority Thereafter Established for County

  Notwithstanding Code Sections 8-3-114 and 8-3-115, the governing body of any county may by resolution detach the county from the area of operation of its regional housing authority if such housing authority has undertaken no housing projects and, upon the adoption of such resolution, the county shall cease to be included in the area of operation of the regional housing authority, provided that this action may not be taken if the regional housing authority has outstanding any bonds, notes, or other obligations, unless all the holders of such bonds, notes, or other obligations consent in writing to such action.   The housing authority thereafter established for any county detached from the area of operation of a regional housing authority may assume and pay all or any portion of the outstanding bonds, notes, or other obligations of such regional housing authority, provided that the exclusion of any county from the area of operation of the regional housing authority and the failure of the housing authority of such county to assume all or any part of such bonds, notes, or other obligations shall not in any way affect the said bonds, notes, or other obligations nor the rights or remedies of the obligees of such regional housing authority with respect thereto.

Creation of an Authority for a County After Exclusion or Detachment From a Regional Authority; Appointment of Commissioners; Scope of Powers; Subsequent Inclusion in a Regional Authority

  At any time after the exclusion or detachment of any county from the area of operation of a regional housing authority, as provided in Code Sections 8-3-114 through 8-3-116, the governing body of any such county may adopt a resolution declaring that there is need for a housing authority in the county if the governing body shall find such need according to the provisions of Code Sections 8-3-4 through 8-3-6. Thereafter a public body corporate and politic to be known as the housing authority of the county shall exist for such county, and five commissioners shall be appointed for such authority by the governing body of such county. The authority may transact business and exercise its powers in the same manner and shall have the same rights, powers, and immunities as though created by said Code Sections 8-3-4 through 8-3-6.

 The preparation for national defense requires a great migration of persons to engage in national defense industries and activities which would be jeopardized unless housing is available for such persons. An acute shortage of housing for such persons exists or impends in localities in the state. It is therefore of vital importance that all agencies qualified to do so have the powers and authority to develop and administer projects to provide housing for persons engaged in war or national defense activities and to aid and cooperate with the federal government in making such housing available for such persons.

Conditions Precedent to Exercise of Powers by an Authority; Scope of Rights and Powers of an Authority Generally

  Any housing authority established pursuant to this article may undertake the development or administration, or both, of projects to provide housing for persons engaged or to be engaged in national defense industries or activities if it finds that an acute shortage of housing for such persons exists or impends in its area of operation or any part thereof and that the necessary housing would not otherwise be provided when needed.   In the ownership, development, or administration of projects under this part, a housing authority shall have all the rights, powers, privileges, and immunities that it has under any provision of law relating to the ownership, development, or administration of low-rent housing and slum clearance projects in the same manner as though all the provisions of law applicable thereto were applicable to projects developed or administered hereunder, provided that a housing authority may, notwithstanding the provisions of other laws, make and agree to make, with respect to any project owned and administered by it under this part, such payments for services and facilities furnished for such project by the city, county, or other political subdivision of the state in which such project is located as may be agreed upon; provided, further, that a project developed or administered under this part by a housing authority to provide housing for persons engaged or to be engaged in national defense industries or activities shall not be subject to the limitations provided in Code Section 8-3-12 or in the second sentence of Code Section 8-3-11.
