Of the first three appointees of the county board under this act, one must be appointed for a one-year term, one for a two-year term, and one for a three-year term. Later appointments to fill terms are for five years. An appointment to a vacancy is for the unexpired term. Sec. 2.

(b) Notwithstanding other law, the county auditor must not levy taxes against real property of the county for the authority operations, other than bonds as provided in section 2 and Minnesota Statutes, section 469.034, unless the amount to be levied is also approved in a resolution of the county board.

(b) The Olmsted county housing and redevelopment authority, whose membership is the subject of section 1, is the successor of the preexisting city of Rochester and Olmsted county authorities except that obligations under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 475, of the predecessor authorities continue to be obligations of the general government jurisdictions or parts of them, that would be obligated under them if the predecessor authorities continued to operate as before the effective date of this act. Sec. 6. [CERTAIN CITIES.] Notwithstanding Minnesota Statutes, section 469.004, subdivision 5, the cities of Oronoco, Byron, Dover, Eyota, and Chatfield may establish city housing and redevelopment authorities without the approval of the county authority.
