Title

AN ACT CONCERNING REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY for the purpose of amending the County Code to separate the budgeting and personnel functions of the Redevelopment Authority from the Department of Housing and Community Development, and clarifying personnel provisions pertaining to employees of the Redevelopment Authority.

 

Background

Currently the budget and personnel functions for the Redevelopment Authority (“RDA”) are part of Department of Housing and Community Development (“                     DHCD”).  Research has not revealed any legal reason for this current arrangement.  To help make RDA more efficient and to mirror actual operations in that RDA is run by an Executive Director with little operational, daily oversight from the DCHD Director, these legislative changes are needed.
