# O.C.G.A. § 8-3-115. Requirements for declaration of need for exclusion from authority.

The governing body of each of the counties in the area of operation of the regional housing authority and the commissioners of the regional housing authority may adopt a resolution declaring that there is a need for excluding a county or counties from such area only if:

(1) Each such governing body of the counties to remain in the area of operation of the regional housing authority and the commissioners of the regional housing authority find that, because of facts arising or determined subsequent to the time when such area first included the county or counties to be excluded, the regional housing authority would be a more efficient or economical administrative unit if such county or counties were excluded from such area; and

(2) The governing body of each such county or counties to be excluded and the commissioners of the regional housing authority each also find that, because of the aforesaid changed facts, another housing authority for such county or counties would be a more efficient or economical administrative unit to function in such county or counties.
