The Board of County Commissioners finds that in order to carry on a central metropolitan
government and to administer effectively coordinated public housing, slum clearance,
urban renewal and relocation programs within Miami-Dade County, it is necessary that
such programs be administered under policy determinations of the Board and the supervision
of the Manager through a Director of Housing and Urban Development with the powers,
duties and functions previously exercised by the Miami-Dade County Urban Renewal Agency
with the advice and assistance of a Housing and Urban Development Advisory Board (hereafter
referred to as HUD Board).
