(1) By the governing body of such municipality in which the authority is to exercise its powers; and

(2) By any housing authority theretofore established by such municipality and authorized to exercise its powers therein declaring that there is a need for the housing authority of the aforementioned city to exercise its powers within such municipality.

(b) A municipality has the same powers to furnish financial and other assistance to a housing authority exercising its powers within such municipality under this section as though the municipality were within the area of operation of such authority.

A commissioner shall be appointed from each such county and/or municipality and such commissioner shall be a resident of the municipality or county, if such project is in an unincorporated area, in which the project or projects are located. The mayor of such municipality or the county legislative body, respectively, shall appoint such commissioner.
