Section 11-101A-4
Incorporation of authority.
(a) Within 60 days following the adoption of the authorizing resolution, or, if there is more than one, the last adopted thereof, the applicants shall proceed to incorporate an authority by filing for record, in the office of the judge of probate of the county in which the principal office of the authority is to be located, a certificate of incorporation complying in form and substance with this action, being in the form and executed in the manner herein provided and being in the form approved by the governing body of each authorizing subdivision.
(b) In addition to any other provisions required by this chapter to be included therein, the certificate of incorporation of an authority shall state:
(1) The names of the incorporators, together with the address of the residence of each thereof, and that each of them is a duly qualified elector of the authorizing subdivision, or, if there is more than one, at least one thereof.
(2) The name of the authority, which shall be "The ______ Federal Building Authority," with the insertion of the name of one or more of the authorizing subdivisions, unless the Secretary of State determines that the name is identical to the name of any other corporation organized under the laws of the state or so nearly similar thereto as to lead to confusion and uncertainty, in which case the incorporators may insert additional identifying words to eliminate the duplication or similarity or adopt some other similar name that is available.
(3) The period for the duration of the authority. If the duration is to be perpetual, subject to Section 11-101A-24, that fact shall be stated.
(4) The name of each authorizing subdivision together with the date on which the governing body thereof adopted an authorizing resolution.
(5) The location of the principal office of the authority, which shall be within the boundaries of the authorizing subdivision, or, if there is more than one, at least one thereon.
(6) That the authority is organized pursuant to this chapter.
(7) If the exercise by the authority of its powers is to be in any way prohibited, limited, or conditioned, a statement of that prohibition, limitation, or condition.
(8) The number of directors, which shall be an odd number not less than three, the duration of their respective terms of office, which shall not be in excess of six years, and, subject to Section 11-101A-6, the manner of their election or appointment.
(9) Any provisions, not inconsistent with Section 11-101A-24, relating to the vesting of title to its assets and properties upon its dissolution.
(10) Any other matters relating to the authority that the incorporators may choose to insert and that are not inconsistent with this chapter or with the laws of the state.
(c) The certificate of incorporation shall be signed and acknowledged by each of the incorporators before an officer authorized by the laws of the state to take acknowledgments to deeds. When the certificate of incorporation is filed for record, there shall be attached to it a certified copy of each authorizing resolution and a certificate by the Secretary of State that the name proposed for the authority is not identical to that of any other corporation organized under the laws of the state or so nearly similar thereto as to lead to confusion and uncertainty. Upon the filing for record of the certificate of incorporation and the documents required by the preceding sentence to be attached thereto, the authority shall come into existence and shall constitute a public corporation under the name set forth in its certificate of incorporation. The judge of probate shall record the certificate of incorporation in an appropriate book in his or her office and send a notice to the Secretary of State that the certificate of incorporation of the authority has been filed for record.
