GENERAL REFERENCES
Charter and statutory provisions — See Charter
§ 9-5(e) and MGL c. 121B.
There shall be a Housing Authority, which shall be managed,
controlled and governed by five members, appointed or elected as provided
in this chapter, of whom three shall constitute a quorum.
A.
Four members of the Housing Authority shall be elected by the voters
of the Town at the regular Town election held in November 2007. The
two candidates receiving the highest number of votes at the November
2007 election shall be declared elected to a four-year term. The candidates
receiving the third and fourth highest number of votes shall be elected
for a two-year term. Thereafter, at each regular Town election, two
candidates shall be elected to the Housing Authority for a term of
four years.
B.
The fifth member of the Housing Authority shall be appointed by the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community
Development for an initial term of three years. Thereafter, as the
term of the appointed member of the Housing Authority expires, his/her
successor shall be appointed, in the same manner and by the same body,
for a term of five years from such expiration. (See MGL c. 121B, § 5.)
D.
Vacancies, other than by reason of expiration of terms, shall be
filled for the balance of the unexpired term, in the same manner and
by the same body stated above. Every member, unless sooner removed,
shall serve until the qualification of his/her successor.
E.
As soon as possible after the qualification of the members of a Housing
Authority, the Town Clerk shall file a certificate of such appointment
and election, as the case may be, with the Department of Housing and
Community Development, and a duplicate thereof, in either case, in
the office of the Secretary of State. If the Secretary of State finds
that the Housing Authority has been organized and the members thereof
elected or appointed according to law, he/she shall issue to it a
certificate of organization and such certificate shall be conclusive
evidence of the lawful organization of the authority and of the election
or appointment of the members thereof. Whenever the membership of
the Housing Authority is changed by appointment, election, resignation
or removal, a certificate and duplicate certificate to that effect
shall be promptly so filed. A certificate so filed shall be conclusive
evidence of the change in membership of the authority referred to
therein.
The Braintree Housing Authority shall make careful studies of
the housing needs within the Town and shall provide such programs
to make available housing for families of low income and for elderly
persons of low income as it deems to be necessary or desirable and
it may make studies and investigations relative to community development,
including desirable patterns for land use and community growth. The
Housing Authority shall have all of the powers, duties, authorities
and responsibilities as are afforded to such entities under MGL c.
121B.
