(4)
If the governing body of each of two (2) or more cities (whether or not
contiguous) by resolution declares that there is a need for one (1) housing
authority to be created for all of such cities to exercise in such cities the powers
and other functions prescribed for a consolidated housing authority, a public
body corporate and politic to be known as a "consolidated housing authority"
(with such corporate name as it selects) shall thereupon exist for all of such
cities and exercise its powers and other functions within its area of operation
(as herein defined), including the power to undertake projects therein.
The creation of a consolidated housing authority and the finding of need
therefor shall be subject to the same provisions and limitations of KRS 80.320
to 80.610 as are applicable to the creation of a regional housing authority, and
all of the provisions of KRS 80.310 to 80.610 applicable to regional housing
authorities and the members thereof shall be applicable to consolidated
housing authorities and the members thereof.
The area of operation of a consolidated housing authority shall include all of
the territory within the boundaries of each city joining in the creation of such
authority, except that such area of operation may be changed to include or
exclude any city or cities in the same manner and under the same provisions
as provided in KRS 80.320 to 80.610 for changing the area of operation of a
regional housing authority by including or excluding a county or counties.
If the area of operation of a consolidated housing authority is decreased to only
one (1) city, such authority shall thereupon constitute and become a housing
authority for such city, in the same manner as though such authority were
thereupon created pursuant to KRS 80.010 to 80.250; and for all such
purposes the term "county" shall be construed as meaning "city," the terms
"county housing authority" and "regional housing authority" shall be construed
as meaning "housing authority of the city" and "consolidated housing authority,"
respectively, and the term "governing body" as used in KRS 80.420, 80.430
and 80.440 shall be construed as meaning "mayor," unless a different meaning
clearly appears from the context.
