In accordance with the provisions of N.J.S.A.
40A:12A-17, the Housing Authority of the City of Millville is hereby
created as a body corporate and shall have those powers authorized
by state law.
A certificate of appointment or reappointment
of any member shall be filed with the City Clerk, and that certificate
shall be conclusive evidence of the due and proper appointment of
that member.
The powers of the Housing Authority shall be
vested in the members thereof in office from time to time. Four members
shall constitute a quorum of the Authority for the purpose of conducting
its business and exercising its powers and all other purposes. Action
may be taken by the Authority upon the affirmative vote of the majority,
but not less than four of the members present, unless the bylaws of
the Authority shall require a larger number. The Authority shall select
a Chairman and a Vice Chairman from among its members, and shall employ
an Executive Director who shall be its Secretary.
No member of the Housing Authority shall receive
compensation for their services, but he or she shall be entitled to
reimbursement for actual expenses necessarily incurred in the discharge
of the duties of membership, including travel expenses.
A member of the Housing Authority may be removed
from office by the governing body of the City or the officer by whom
the member was appointed for inefficiency or neglect of duty or misconduct
in office. But a member may be removed only after he or she has been
given a copy of the charges at least 10 days prior to a hearing thereon
and has had the opportunity to be heard in person or by counsel. In
the event of the removal of any member of the Housing Authority, a
record of the proceedings, together with the charges and findings
thereon, shall be filed in the office of the City Clerk.
