The urban renewal agency created by this chapter is referred to as the Town Center Development Agency.
(Ord. 89-05 §2; Ord. 17-21 §1; Ord. 24-12, 9/3/2024)
The Board of the Town Center Development Agency is comprised of members of the City Council as it lawfully exists from time to time.

(Ord. 89-05 §3; Ord. 17-21 §1; Ord. 24-12, 9/3/2024)
Subject to the limitations imposed by Section 2.64.050, the Town Center Development Agency has authority to exercise all powers available to the agency under ORS Chapter 457, including, but not limited to, the power of eminent domain. The powers conferred to this agency by ORS Chapter 457 are in addition and supplemental to the powers conferred by any other law.
(Ord. 89-05 §4; Ord. 17-21 §1; Ord. 24-12, 9/3/2024)

(Ord. 89-05 §5; Ord. 17-21 §1; Ord. 24-12, 9/3/2024)
The Town Center Advisory Commission is established. The commission may be comprised of up to 15 members appointed by the City Council.
