SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The McCall City Council previously discussed the idea of establishing a Housing Authority at their work session in September 2021 (see attached memo). At the time, the Council was generally
supportive of the concept but wanted to vet the idea through the McCall Area Local Housing Action Plan (see attached) process and housing consultant team. Ultimately, the strategy of
creating a Housing Organization was one of the top two priorities and specifically establishing a McCall Area Housing Authority was identified (p. 17). Under the “Housing Authorities
and Cooperation Law,” Idaho Code Sections 50-1901, et seq., the City Council can declare a need for a housing authority. Housing Authorities have a few special authorities granted by
state code like issuing bonds and more flexibility in disposing of lands. Establishing the Housing Authority is the first action, and then the City Council will need to make Board appointments
(see Exhibit A), approve a mission, bylaws, responsibilities, and funding. It will also require an interagency agreement between the City of McCall and the Housing Authority at future
meeting(s).
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve Resolution 22-38 to establish a Housing Authority for the City of McCall and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
