1.3 As required by Section 462.425, Subdivision 2 of the Act, a public hearing was conducted July 14, 1981, on the proposal to activate a housing and redevelopment authority for the City, after publication of notice of the hearing in the official newspaper of the City once not less than ten days nor more than thirty days before the public hearing. 1.4 This Council hereby declares that there is a need for a housing and redevelopment authority to function in the City, since there exist deterioriated and substandard areas within the City which cannot be redeveloped without government assistance, and since there is a shortage of decent, safe and family dwelling accomodations in the City available to persons of low income at rentals they can afford. 1.5 The principal area in immediate need of redevelop- ment is the area north of Lowry Avenue, west of St. Anthony Boulevard and south of Kenzie Terrace, plus certain property on the north side of Kenzie Terrace. Because these areas contain buildings or improvements and are by reason of faulty arrangement or design, deleterious land use or obsolete layout detrimental to the welfare of the City, this Council finds the areas to comprise a "deterioriated area" and a "substandard area" within the meaning of Section 462.421, Subdivision 11 and Section 462.425, Subdivision 1 of the Act. Section. 2. There is hereby activated in and for the City a housing and redevelopment authority, created as a public body corporate and politic by Section 462.425, Subdivision 1 of the Act. Said authority shall be known as the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of St. Anthony and shall consist of five commissioners, who shall be persons residing within the territorial boundaries of the City. The commissioners shall be appointed by the Mayor, with the approval of this Council, after this resolution becomes finally effective. Initial appointments shall be for terms of one, two, three, four and five years, respectively; thereafter each commissioner shall be appointed for a five-year term; provided that if members of the City Council are appointed commissioners, their terms of office as commissioners may coincide with their terms of office as council members. Upon appointment of the commissioners and adoption of by-laws, the Authority shall exercise all. powers and transact such business as it deems necessary or desirable under the Act. Section 3. The City shall cause this resolution to be published in the official newspaper of the City in
