the previous years.
1.02. It has been proposed that the Authority and the City establish a pilot
Housing Replacement Program (the "Program ") to eliminate blight and to assist
with the housing needs of the community.

Authority and the City are requesting approval for special legislation to
allow the City and the Authority to establish a pilot program.
Section 2. Findines

promote the purposes of the Authority as those purposes are defined in

blight and the alleviation of shortages of decent, safe, and sanitary
residential housing.
2.03. The City hereby finds that the preservation of the quality of life in
the City is dependent upon the maintenance, provision, and preservation of an
adequate housing stock; that accomplishing this is a public purpose; and that
in establishing the Program, the City is acting in all respects to benefit the
citizens of the City in improving and otherwise promoting their health,
safety, welfare and prosperity.
