OAK RIDGE HOUSING AUTHORITY

Established by Resolution No. 8-90-69 in accordance with Sec. 13-901 and
Sec. 13-908 of the Tennessee Code Annotated.  Authorization for the
creation of the authority was granted by City Council on August 18, 1969.

Composition:  The Oak Ridge Housing Authority consists of five
commissioners appointed by City Council for five-year terms.  Three
commissioners constitute a quorum.  The first chairman was appointed by the
Mayor and the succeeding chairmen elected by the Commissioners.

General Powers and Duties:  The Housing Authority is empowered to
investigate housing conditions within the community and means for improving
the same.  It determines where unsafe or insanitary housing conditions
exist; prepares and carries out the plans for housing projects and operates
the same; and does all things necessary and convenient to carry out the
purposes and provisions of the Housing Authorities Law (Tennessee Code
Annotated).

Meetings:  The Board of Commissioners usually meets at the Housing
Authority Office on the second Wednesday of each month, with an annual
meeting to be held in July.  The date of regular meetings can be changed
from time to time by resolution of the commissioners.  Special meetings can
be called by the chairman when deemed expedient or upon written request of
two commissioners.
