B.
Findings.
(1)
There exists in the City blighted areas, or areas in the process
of becoming blighted, which impair economic values and tax revenues,
cause an increase in and spread of disease and crime, and constitute
a menace to the health, safety, morals and welfare of the residents
of the City.
(2)
These conditions necessitate excessive and disproportionate expenditures
of public funds for crime prevention and punishment, public health
and safety, fire and accident protection and other public services
and facilities.
(3)
There are also certain areas where the condition of title, the diverse
ownership of land, the street or lot layouts, or other conditions
prevent a proper development or redevelopment of such areas.
(4)
The clearance, replanning and preparation for rebuilding of such
areas and the prevention or the reduction of blight and its causes
are public uses and purposes for which public money may be spent and
private property acquired, by eminent domain or otherwise, and are
governmental functions.
(5)
Redevelopment activities will stimulate more residential construction,
the production of better housing and more desirable neighborhoods
and community development at lower costs. It is necessary in the public
interest that preparation for such projects be made now.
A.
Creation. Pursuant to the Sewerage Authorities Law, constituting
Chapter 138 of the Laws of New Jersey of 1946, N.J.S.A. 40:14A-1 et
seq., there is hereby jointly created and established a public body
corporate and politic, as an agency and instrumentality of the City
of Hoboken, the City of Union City and the Township of Weehawkin,
hereinafter called the "municipalities," under the corporate name
and title of the "North Hudson Sewerage Authority." This Authority
and the Town of West New York, within the territorial boundaries of
the municipalities, shall have and may exercise all of the powers
provided for in the Sewerage Authorities Law, together with any other
powers which may hereafter be conferred upon sewerage authorities
by law, and by any other statute pertinent to a sewerage authority
or sewerage utility. The territory of West New York shall be part
of the Authority, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:14A-4(m), and upon the terms
and conditions contained herein.
B.

Law. Three of the members shall be appointed by the governing body
of the City of Hoboken, two by the governing body of the City of Union
City, two by the governing body of the Township of Weehawkin and two
by the governing body of the Town of West New York.
(2)
It shall be a condition of continued membership on the Authority
that members be and remain residents within the district of the Authority.
If a member ceases to be a resident of the district, his/her membership
on the Authority shall thereupon cease, and the appropriate municipality
shall appoint another person to complete the term to which (s)he had
been appointed.
C.
Compensation. Each such member shall receive such compensation for
the services as such member, not in excess of $5,000 in any one year,

that any member of the Authority may also be reimbursed for necessary
expenses incurred in the discharge of such member's duties as
a member of the Authority.
