Information
Title:
Discussion Regarding Authorities
Purpose/Background:
Purpose: To discuss Authorities
Background: At the last Charter Commission meeting, a Commissioner expressed a concern in re to Authorities, more specifically the Economic Development Authority, and whether or not the Charter could impose some constraints on such Authority (i.e.. bonding, etc.) Chair Field agreed to continued discussion on this subject and has offered the following discussion points:
1. Should the Charter Commission suggest language aimed at Authorities where the Charter presently is silent.
2. What powers or limits can/should the Charter require?
3. Actually four areas of concern exist: taxing, bonding, eminent domain, and holding title to real estate. Should those authorities rest with the elected Council alone?
Attached to this Input item is a copy of the State Statutes 469 dealing with Economic Development Authorities.
