Possible updates to By-Laws
Information / Background:
The Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) was established in 1974 to address substandard
& blighted properties in need of redevelopment and the lack of housing available at affordable
rates. By-laws were established to guide the operations of the HRA.
The By-Laws have not been updated since 1986 and there may be a need to update portions to
reflect current practice.
Copies of the By-Laws are attached. Legal Counsel, Roger Knutson will be in attendance to discuss
best-practices and possible revisions to the By-Laws.
