The State of Maryland in the Housing and Community Development Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland created housing authorities in all the counties and cities of the State of Maryland as defined in § 12-101(c).
[HISTORY: Adopted by the Mayor and Town Council of the Town of Hancock 5-10-2006 as Ch. 22 of the 2006 Code of Ordinances. Amendments noted where applicable.]
The Board of County Commissioners under the Housing and Community Development Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland, § 21-101 et seq., created a Housing Authority for Washington County.
Such Housing Authority includes in its area of operation all of the county except any portion of the county which lies within the territorial boundaries of any city for which a Housing Authority may be created.
The governing body of any such city may by resolution consent to its inclusion in the area of operation of a county Housing Authority.
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the Mayor and Council of Hancock, that they do consent to the inclusion of the incorporated Town of Hancock, Maryland, in the area of operation of the Housing Authority of Washington County.
