Farmington, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 27 (2026) § 27-1
Creation (Farmington Fair Rent Commission)
Operative Text
Pursuant to C.G.S. §§ 7-148b through 7-148f, as amended, there is hereby created the Farmington Fair Rent Commission (the "Commission"). The Commission shall consist of the Housing Authority of the Town of Farmington, and membership on the Commission shall be concurrent with membership on the Housing Authority of the Town of Farmington. Loss of membership on the Town of Farmington Housing Authority shall automatically mean loss of membership on the Commission, and attainment of membership on the Housing Authority of the Town of Farmington shall automatically mean attainment of membership on the Commission. The Chairman and Secretary of the Housing Authority of the Town of Farmington shall be the Chairman and Secretary of the Commission. All members shall serve without compensation.
Farmington, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 27 § 27-1 establishes the Farmington Fair Rent Commission as a local body authorized under Connecticut General Statutes §§ 7-148b through 7-148f. Rather than creating a separate membership structure, the ordinance ties Commission membership directly to membership on the Farmington Housing Authority, so the two bodies share the same roster of members and officers at all times. Members of the Commission serve without receiving any compensation for their service.
