1999 Minnesota Statutes

     469.139 Delegation by city. 

    Any of the powers provided in sections 469.137 and 469.138 
 may be exercised by the governing body of a city.  
 Alternatively, the governing body of a city may, by ordinance or 
 resolution, delegate to an authority any or all of the powers 
 provided in sections 469.137 and 469.138.  An ordinance or 
 resolution delegating powers to an authority shall specify the 
 powers delegated and any conditions to that delegation.  Any 
 power not expressly delegated to the authority may not be 
 exercised by the authority but may be exercised by the governing 
 body of the city.  To the extent a power is delegated to an 
 authority, any action of the governing body of the authority 
 shall be considered to be the action of the governing body of 
 the city.  The governing body of a city may at any time by 
 ordinance or resolution, whichever was used to delegate powers 
 to an authority, repeal, rescind, or revoke any or all of the 
 powers previously delegated to an authority, but the city 
 remains liable for all actions previously taken and contracts 
 previously made by the authority.
