469.007 POWERS OF COUNTY AND MULTICOUNTY AUTHORITIES.
    Subdivision 1. Powers. A county or multicounty authority and its commissioners shall,
within the area of operation of the authority, have the same functions, rights, powers, duties,
privileges, immunities, and limitations as are provided for housing and redevelopment authorities
created for cities, and for the commissioners of those authorities. The provisions of law applicable
to housing and redevelopment authorities created for cities and their commissioners shall be
applicable to county and multicounty authorities and their commissioners, except as clearly
indicated otherwise.
    Subd. 2. Powers as to housing development projects. When a county or multicounty
authority undertakes any housing project or housing development project involving the acquisition
of multifamily housing rental properties that (1) were financed under the federal Section 8 or
Section 236 programs, or (2) are designed to be affordable to persons or families with incomes not
greater than 80 percent of median income for the metropolitan statistical area or nonmetropolitan
county, and are located within any city or town, the authority shall notify the governing body of
the city or town in writing of the location of the housing project or housing development project.
If the governing body fails to take action on a housing project or housing development project in a
writing which sets forth its reasons for the action within 30 days, the governing body is considered
to have approved the location of the housing project or housing development project for purposes
of any special or general law requiring local approval of the location of housing projects and
housing development projects undertaken by county or multicounty authorities.
