383B.77 HENNEPIN COUNTY HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY.
    Subdivision 1. Creation. The Hennepin County Housing and Redevelopment Authority is
created in the county of Hennepin. It shall have all of the powers and duties of a housing and
redevelopment authority under sections 469.001 to 469.047. For the purposes of applying the
municipal housing and redevelopment act to Hennepin County, the county has all of the powers
and duties of a city, the county board has all the powers and duties of a governing body, the chair
of the county board has all of the powers and duties of a mayor, and the area of operation includes
the area within the territorial boundaries of the county.
    Subd. 2. Limitation. This section does not limit or restrict any existing housing and
redevelopment authority or prevent a municipality from creating an authority. For purposes of this
subdivision, "housing and redevelopment authority" includes any municipal department, agency,
or authority of the city of Minneapolis which exercises the powers of a housing and redevelopment
authority pursuant to section 469.003 or other law. The county authority shall notify a municipal
authority by January 31 of each year as to the activities the county authority plans to participate in
within the municipality. The municipal authority shall notify the county authority within 45 days
of the date of the notice from the county authority, if the municipal authority does not consent
to the activities of the county authority. The county authority shall not exercise its powers in a
municipality where a housing and redevelopment authority was created under Minnesota Statutes
1969, chapter 462, before June 8, 1971, except as provided in this subdivision. If a city housing
and redevelopment authority requests the county housing and redevelopment authority to exercise
any power or perform any function of the municipal authority, the county authority may do so.
    Subd. 3. Local approval. If a housing or redevelopment project is undertaken in Hennepin
County pursuant to this section, the governing body of the city must approve the project before it
is undertaken.
    Subd. 4. Commissioners. Notwithstanding section 469.003, subdivision 5, the Hennepin
County Housing and Redevelopment Authority shall consist of seven commissioners.
