Pursuant to § 8-126 of the General Statutes and § 3-1 of the Charter, there was created by ordinance in 1965 the Redevelopment Agency, which was composed of five electors of the Town who were appointed by the General Manager with the approval of the Board of Directors and whose initial terms were staggered so that each year only one membership position is vacant. The terms of the members after the initial appointments are five years. The membership is hereby increased by an additional seven members who must be electors of the Town and shall be appointed by the General Manager with the approval of the Board of Directors. The terms of the additional seven members shall be staggered so that one shall be designated to serve for one year, one shall be designated to serve for two years, one shall be designated to serve for three years, two shall be designated to serve for four years and two shall be designated to serve for five years. Thereafter the terms of these seven membership positions shall be for five years as are the terms of the existing five members. A 13th member shall be appointed by the General Manager with the approval of the Board of Directors for an initial term of two years and five-year terms thereafter. Any vacancy shall be filled by the General Manager with the approval of the Board of Directors for the unexpired term.
The Redevelopment Agency shall select from among its members a Chairman and a Vice Chairman and may employ a secretary, and such other officers, agents, technical consultants, legal counsel and employees as it may require.
The members of the Redevelopment Agency shall serve without compensation but may be reimbursed for necessary expenses.
Actions by the Redevelopment Agency shall be taken only on a majority vote of all the members.
The Redevelopment Agency shall have those duties as are set forth in Chapter 130 of the General Statutes.
To the extent that such payments qualify as part of the gross project costs as provided by the Federal Housing Act of 1949, as amended, and as may be amended, the Redevelopment Agency shall use tax credits instead of making actual payments as permitted by such federal act to the Town on all property acquired by such agency in Manchester Renewal Project No. I Conn.
