Description

Under existing law, a municipal public housing authority may exercise the power of eminent domain

This bill would delete the power of eminent domain and authorize a municipal public housing authority to purchase property only for public housing purposes and after notice to certain surrounding property owners and approval of the city council

Under existing law, a public housing authority must file annually with the mayor of the city where the authority is located a report of its activities for the preceding year and make recommendations pertaining to any needed legislation or activity for the upcoming year

This bill would require that a public housing authority also file annually a copy of its five-year plan and would require the city council to hold a public hearing on the annual recommendations and the five-year plan. This bill would require the five-year plan to include proposed purchases of property when possible. If the authority serves any area outside the corporate limits of the authorizing municipality, this bill would require the authority to submit to the county commission of the county served by the authority any recommendation and any part of the plan that pertains to the area in the jurisdiction of the county. This bill would require approval by the city council and by the county commission, as the case may be, before a recommendation or plan could be implemented

To amend Sections 24-1-28 and 24-1-43, Code of Alabama 1975, relating to municipal public housing authorities; to authorize a municipal public housing authority to purchase property only for public housing purposes and after notice to certain property owners and approval of the city council; to provide further for recommendations made by a public housing authority to the city council; to require an authority to submit annually to the city council a copy of the five-year plan of the authority; to require the authority to include in the five-year plan when possible all proposed purchases of property by the authority; to require the city council and the county commission, if the authority serves an area outside the corporate limits of the authorizing municipality, to hold a public hearing; and to require approval by the city council and from the county commission, if the authority serves an area outside the corporate limits of the authorizing municipality, before implementation of certain plans and recommendations.
