Subject: Opinion on Dissolution
Dear Sirs:
The Authority is a public body corporate and politic in and for the
municipality in which it was organized.
The statutes do not provide for any means of disolution.
The Commissioners hold office until their successors have been appointed
and qualified.
It would appear that if the City government were to withhold funds and
refused approval of any plan, work, or project of the Authority, that
the Authority after it has exhausted its resources would become inactive
and dormant.
The only complete dissolution procedure would be by act of the State
Legislature.
WS%yp
Yours truly,
Wyman Smith
Attorney for FHRA

Subjectt Relationship of the Planning Commission
of the City of Fridley and the
I�IUJw Fridley Housing and Redevelopment Authority
Dear Sirst
O The Planning Commission of the City of Fridley is created by Chapter 40
of the Fridley City Code. It serves in an advisory capacity to the City
Council and management. The code provides that the Planning Commission
shall be charged with the responsibility for continuous community planning
(� including coordinated subdivision development, development of parks and
IIJ� playgrounds, maintain up-to -date building codes, study the needs and
recommend extension, installation and improvement of utilities, streets,
street lights, street and traffic signer and work with commercial and
industrial developers In an effort to achieve desirable industrial and
commercial growth.
The Planning Commission has specified duties under the Zoning Code
(chapter 45 ) and the Platting Code (Chapter 52)•
Since the Planning Commission is only advisory, its determinations have
validity and finality only as long as it has the confidence of the City
Council. The City Charter has no reference to the Planning Commission
but in Sections 8.01 and 8.02 provide for a City Plan and the enforcement
of same by the City Council.
The Fridley Housing and Redevelopment Authority is a separate political
rmtity created pursuant to the Municipal and Housing Redevelopment Act
found at Section 462.411 at sequor of Minnesota Statutes. Ito work is
inter - related with that of the Planning Commission. It has almost pro -
prietory power and authority for projects in specified areas. The
activation of any particular project, however, requires approval of the
City Council. It could perform any of the assignments now handled by
the Planning Commission if so directed by the City Council.

The Authority could act in coordination and in conjunction with the Planning
Commission in developing broad overall community plans. The Authority,in
developing its project areas, could use the Planning Commission as a sounding
board or consulting agency for testing the suitability of designs and plane.
The powers and duties of the Fridley Housing and Redevelopment Authorit are
spelled out in Section 462.445 of Minnesota Statutes. Subdivision 401
provides as followss "When a local public body does not have s planning
agency or when a comprehensive or general community development plan or plans
is or are not already available by the planning agency, to make or cause to
be made such plans as a guide in the more detailed planning of housing and
redevelopment areas."
n In conclusion, the Housing Authority and the Planning Commission each have
I`IUJ^ specific, separate assigned duties and functions. Bach ultimately is
dependent upon the support and desires of the governing Udy of the City.
There is much opportunity for coordinated effort.
