§ 3.09. Redevelopment and housing authority.

Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, there shall be seven (7) commissioners of the Hampton Redevelopment and Housing Authority.

Commissioners shall hold their offices at the pleasure of the council for a term not to exceed four (4) years; provided, however, the council may at any time, and from time to time, adopt an ordinance terminating the term of all the commissioners and designating itself the commissioners of the authority. In that event, notwithstanding the provisions of section 3.11 to the contrary, a council member shall receive no compensation for serving as a commissioner nor shall he continue to serve as a commissioner after he ceases to be a member of council.

The council may at any time repeal such ordinance designating itself the commissioners and appoint residents of the city to serve as the commissioners.

The establishment and organization of the Hampton Redevelopment and Housing Authority heretofore established under the provisions of this Charter, together with all proceedings, acts, and things heretofore undertaken are hereby validated, ratified, and confirmed.
