If the legislative body of a local government finds and declares that there exist
within the jurisdiction of the local government blighted or deteriorated properties
and that there is need for the exercise of powers, functions, and duties conferred by
KRS 99.700 to 99.730 within the jurisdiction of the local government, the
legislative body may adopt the provisions of KRS 99.700 to 99.730 by ordinance.
The ordinance adopting the provisions of KRS 99.700 to 99.730 shall:
(a) Establish a vacant property review commission, which shall certify properties
as blighted or deteriorated to the legislative body. The ordinance shall specify
the duties of, the number of members that will serve on, the requirements of
membership, and the makeup of the commission. Members of the commission
shall be appointed by the mayor or the county judge/executive, as the case
may be, and approved by the legislative body; or
(b) Assign the duties that would otherwise be fulfilled by a vacant property
review commission under KRS 99.700 to 99.730 to an alternative government
entity.
The governing body of a local government adopting the provisions of KRS 99.700
to 99.730 may also, by ordinance, authorize the commission or alternative
government entity to identify and certify properties for inclusion in a tax
delinquency diversion program established by the local government as provided in
KRS 99.727.
No officer or employee of the local government whose duties include enforcement
of housing, building, plumbing, fire, nuisance, or related codes shall be appointed to
the commission or serve on the governing body of an alternative government entity.
Nothing in KRS 99.705 to 99.730 shall prevent the duties of a vacant property
review commission from being assigned to a local government code enforcement
board established pursuant to KRS 65.8801 to 65.8839.
