 14.32  sections 469.001 to 469.047, except that the power to levy and 
 14.33  collect taxes or special assessments is limited to the power 
 14.34  provided in sections 469.027 to 469.033.  Its powers include the 
 14.35  following powers in addition to others granted in sections 
 14.36  469.001 to 469.047:  
 15.1      (1) to sue and be sued; to have a seal, which shall be 
 15.2   judicially noticed, and to alter it; to have perpetual 
 15.3   succession; and to make, amend, and repeal rules consistent with 
 15.4   sections 469.001 to 469.047; 
 15.5      (2) to employ an executive director, technical experts, and 
 15.6   officers, agents, and employees, permanent and temporary, that 
 15.7   it requires, and determine their qualifications, duties, and

 15.9   chief law officer of the city or to employ its own counsel and 
 15.10  legal staff; so far as practicable, to use the services of local 
 15.11  public bodies in its area of operation, provided that those 
 15.12  local public bodies, if requested, shall make the services 
 15.13  available; 
 15.14     (3) to delegate to one or more of its agents or employees 
 15.15  the powers or duties it deems proper; 
 15.16     (4) within its area of operation, to undertake, prepare, 
 15.17  carry out, and operate projects and to provide for the

 15.19  alteration, or repair of any project or part thereof; 
 15.20     (5) subject to the provisions of section 469.026, to give, 
 15.21  sell, transfer, convey, or otherwise dispose of real or personal 
 15.22  property or any interest therein and to execute leases, deeds, 
 15.23  conveyances, negotiable instruments, purchase agreements, and 
 15.24  other contracts or instruments, and take action that is 
 15.25  necessary or convenient to carry out the purposes of these 
 15.26  sections; 
 15.27     (6) within its area of operation, to acquire real or 
 15.28  personal property or any interest therein by gifts, grant, 
 15.29  purchase, exchange, lease, transfer, bequest, devise, or 
 15.30  otherwise, and by the exercise of the power of eminent domain, 
 15.31  in the manner provided by chapter 117, to acquire real property 
 15.32  which it may deem necessary for its purposes, after the adoption 
 15.33  by it of a resolution declaring that the acquisition of the real 
 15.34  property is necessary to eliminate one or more of the conditions 
 15.35  found to exist in the resolution adopted pursuant to section 
 15.36  469.003 or to provide decent, safe, and sanitary housing for 
 16.1   persons of low and moderate income, or is necessary to carry out 
 16.2   a redevelopment project.  Real property needed or convenient for 
 16.3   a project may be acquired by the authority for the project by 
 16.4   condemnation pursuant to this section.  This includes any 
 16.5   property devoted to a public use, whether or not held in trust, 
 16.6   notwithstanding that the property may have been previously 
 16.7   acquired by condemnation or is owned by a public utility 
 16.8   corporation, because the public use in conformity with the 
 16.9   provisions of sections 469.001 to 469.047 shall be deemed a 
 16.10  superior public use.  Property devoted to a public use may be so 
 16.11  acquired only if the governing body of the municipality has 
 16.12  approved its acquisition by the authority.  An award of 
 16.13  compensation shall not be increased by reason of any increase in 
 16.14  the value of the real property caused by the assembly, clearance 
 16.15  or reconstruction, or proposed assembly, clearance or 
 16.16  reconstruction for the purposes of sections 469.001 to 469.047 
 16.17  of the real property in an area; 
 16.18     (7) within its area of operation, and without the adoption 
 16.19  of an urban renewal plan, to acquire, by all means as set forth 
 16.20  in clause (6) but without the adoption of a resolution provided 
 16.21  for in clause (6), real property, and to demolish, remove, 
 16.22  rehabilitate, or reconstruct the buildings and improvements or 
 16.23  construct new buildings and improvements thereon, or to so 
 16.24  provide through other means as set forth in Laws 1974, chapter 
 16.25  228, or to grade, fill, and construct foundations or otherwise 
 16.26  prepare the site for improvements.  The authority may dispose of 
 16.27  the property pursuant to section 469.029, provided that the 
 16.28  provisions of section 469.029 requiring conformance to an urban 
 16.29  renewal plan shall not apply.  The authority may finance these 
 16.30  activities by means of the redevelopment project fund or by 
 16.31  means of tax increments or tax increment bonds or by the methods 
 16.32  of financing provided for in section 469.033 or by means of 
 16.33  contributions from the municipality provided for in section 
 16.34  469.041, clause (9), or by any combination of those means.  Real 
 16.35  property with buildings or improvements thereon shall only be 
 16.36  acquired under this clause when the buildings or improvements 
 17.1   are substandard.  The exercise of the power of eminent domain 
 17.2   under this clause shall be limited to real property which 
 17.3   contains, or has contained within the three years immediately 
 17.4   preceding the exercise of the power of eminent domain and is 
 17.5   currently vacant, buildings and improvements which are vacated 
 17.6   and substandard.  Notwithstanding the prior sentence, in cities 
 17.7   of the first class the exercise of the power of eminent domain 
 17.8   under this clause shall be limited to real property which 
 17.9   contains, or has contained within the three years immediately 
 17.10  preceding the exercise of the power of eminent domain, buildings 
 17.11  and improvements which are substandard.  For the purpose of this 
 17.12  clause, substandard buildings or improvements mean hazardous 
 17.13  buildings as defined in section 463.15, subdivision 3, or 
 17.14  buildings or improvements that are dilapidated or obsolescent, 
 17.15  faultily designed, lack adequate ventilation, light, or sanitary 
 17.16  facilities, or any combination of these or other factors that 
 17.17  are detrimental to the safety or health of the community; 
 17.18     (8) within its area of operation, to determine the level of 
 17.19  income constituting low or moderate family income.  The 
 17.20  authority may establish various income levels for various family 
 17.21  sizes.  In making its determination, the authority may consider 
 17.22  income levels that may be established by the Department of 
 17.23  Housing and Urban Development or a similar or successor federal 
 17.24  agency for the purpose of federal loan guarantees or subsidies 
 17.25  for persons of low or moderate income.  The authority may use 
 17.26  that determination as a basis for the maximum amount of income 
 17.27  for admissions to housing development projects or housing 
 17.28  projects owned or operated by it; 
 17.29     (9) to provide in federally assisted projects any 
 17.30  relocation payments and assistance necessary to comply with the 
 17.31  requirements of the Federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and 
 17.32  Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, and any 
 17.33  amendments or supplements thereto; 
 17.34     (10) to make an agreement with the governing body or bodies 
 17.35  creating the authority which provides exemption from all real 
 17.36  and personal property taxes levied or imposed by the state, 
 18.1   city, county, or other political subdivisions, for which the 
 18.2   authority shall make payments in lieu of taxes to the state, 
 18.3   city, county, or other political subdivisions as provided in 
 18.4   section 469.040.  The governing body shall agree on behalf of 
 18.5   all the applicable governing bodies affected that local 
 18.6   cooperation as required by the federal government shall be 
 18.7   provided by the local governing body or bodies in whose 
 18.8   jurisdiction the project is to be located, at no cost or at no 
 18.9   greater cost than the same public services and facilities 
 18.10  furnished to other residents; 
 18.11     (11) to cooperate with or act as agent for the federal 
 18.12  government, the state or any state public body, or any agency or 
 18.13  instrumentality of the foregoing, in carrying out any of the

 18.15  related federal, state, or local legislation; and upon the 
 18.16  consent of the governing body of the city to purchase, lease, 
 18.17  manage, or otherwise take over any housing project already owned 
 18.18  and operated by the federal government; 
 18.19     (12) to make plans for carrying out a program of voluntary 
 18.20  repair and rehabilitation of buildings and improvements, and

 18.23  buildings and improvements, and to the compulsory repair, 
 18.24  rehabilitation, demolition, or removal of buildings and 
 18.25  improvements.  The authority may develop, test, and report 
 18.26  methods and techniques, and carry out demonstrations and other 
 18.27  activities for the prevention and elimination of slums and 
 18.28  blight; 
 18.29     (13) to borrow money or other property and accept 
 18.30  contributions, grants, gifts, services, or other assistance from 
 18.31  the federal government, the state government, state public 
 18.32  bodies, or from any other public or private sources; 
 18.33     (14) to include in any contract for financial assistance 
 18.34  with the federal government any conditions that the federal

 22.34  for the debt reserve fund, the council may levy a tax on all 
 22.35  taxable property in the metropolitan area and must levy the tax 
 22.36  if sums in the debt reserve fund are insufficient to cure any 
 23.1   deficiency in the debt service fund established for the bonds.  
 23.2   The tax authorized by this section does not affect the amount or 
 23.3   rate of taxes that may be levied by the council for other 
 23.4   purposes and is not subject to limit as to rate or amount.
