A copy of this <br />resolution must go to the commissioner of DEED. <br />2. Area of operation for an HRA <br />The area of operation of a city HRA is the corporate limits of the city. <br />County and multi -county HRAs operate in areas that include all the <br />political subdivisions within the county or counties, except they may not <br />undertake any project within the boundaries of a city that has not adopted a <br />resolution authorizing the county or multi -county HRA to exercise powers <br />within that city. <br />Establishment of a county or multi -county HRA precludes the formation <br />of city HRAs, unless the county or multi -county HRA and the <br />commissioner of DEED agree to let the city form one. <br />3. HRA membership <br />An HRA consists of up to seven commissioners who are residents of the <br />city. The mayor appoints and the council approves the members who serve <br />five-year, staggered terms. City councilmembers often serve on the HRA. <br />The entire membership of an HRA may consist of councilmembers. <br />Federal regulations require that at least one eligible resident be a member <br />of a public housing agency board, which may be the HRA, an EDA or <br />other public housing authority (PHA). This rule applies to any public <br />housing agency that holds a public housing annual contributions contract <br />with HUD or that administers Section 8 tenant -based rental assistance. The <br />rule does not apply to state -financed public housing projects or Section 8 <br />project -based assistance. A "small PHA exception" also exists. <br />The city clerk must file a certificate of appointment for each commissioner <br />of a city HRA and send a certified copy to the commissioner of DEED. <br />State law allows the HRA to adopt bylaws. Commissioners may accept <br />compensation of up to $75 for each meeting they attend. Commissioners <br />who are elected officials may receive daily payment for a particular day <br />only if they do not receive any other daily payment for public service on <br />that day. Commissioners who are public employees may not receive daily <br />payment, but may not suffer loss in compensation or benefits as a result of <br />their service. <br />League of Minnesota Cities Handbook for Minnesota Cities 11/4/2014 <br />Community Development and Redevelopment Chapter 15 1 Page 6 <br />
