§415. Prerequisites to adoption of resolution creating or expanding regional or consolidated authority
A. The governing body of its respective parish or municipality shall adopt a resolution pursuant to R.S. 40:411 only if it finds that:
(1) In the area of its respective parish or municipality, there are insanitary or unsafe inhabited dwelling accommodations or there is a shortage of safe or sanitary dwelling accommodations available to families of low income at rentals they can afford or that slum or blighted areas exist.
(2) The regional or consolidated housing authority would be the most efficient and economical administrative unit to carry out the purposes of this Part in its parish or municipality.
B. In the case of the expansion of the area of operation of a regional or consolidated authority, the governing body of any parish or municipality and the commissioners of the regional or consolidated housing authority shall adopt a resolution pursuant to R.S. 40:413 if both:
(1) The governing body of each parish or municipality to be included finds that insanitary or unsafe inhabited dwelling accommodations exist therein or that there is a shortage of safe or sanitary dwelling accommodations therein available to families of low income at rentals they can afford or that slum or blighted areas exist therein.
(2) The governing body of the parishes or municipalities already included in the area of operation of the regional or consolidated housing authority, the commissioners of the regional or consolidated housing authority and the governing body of each additional parish or municipality finds that the regional or consolidated housing authority would be a more efficient or economical administrative unit to carry out the purposes of this Part if the area of operation of the regional or consolidated housing authority is increased to include the additional parish or municipality.
