A. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in Section 3-60A-15 NMSA 1978, the local government may delegate its metropolitan redevelopment powers in the manner provided for delegation of powers in the Redevelopment Law [3-60A-5 to 3-60A-18 NMSA 1978] to a metropolitan redevelopment agency that shall be vested with the powers in the same manner as though the powers were conferred on the agency instead of the local government.
B. The local government may, in the manner required by state law or municipal charter, provide for ordinances, rules, regulations or by other means it deems proper as are necessary to implement the Redevelopment Law. The local government and the agency shall be empowered to exercise only those powers authorized by the Redevelopment Law or otherwise provided by law. Nothing in the Redevelopment Law shall be construed to authorize the local government to operate an electric or gas utility.
History: Laws 1979, ch. 391, § 18; 2018, ch. 60, § 17.
The 2018 amendment, effective May 16, 2018, extended the powers and duties as identified in the Metropolitan Redevelopment Code from only municipalities to now include counties; replaced "municipality" and "governing body" with "local government" throughout the section; in Subsection A, after "set forth in Section", deleted "15 of the Redevelopment Law" and added "3-60A-15 NMSA 1978"; and in Subsection B, after "powers authorized by", added "the Redevelopment".
