The housing authority shall consist of seven registered electors who are residents of the City, appointed by the mayor. Not more than one of such members may be a city official. If a city official is appointed as a member of the authority, acceptance or retention of such appointment shall not be deemed a forfeiture of his or her office or incompatible therewith or affect his or her tenure or compensation in any way. The mayor shall file with the city clerk a certificate of the appointment or reappointment of any member, and such certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the due and proper appointment of such member. (Code 1979, § 8-222; Ord. No. 2012-18, § 1, 5-7-2012)
