About the Authority
The Idaho Urban Renewal Law of 1965 authorizes the Mayor, with advice and consent of the City Council, to appoint a board of commissioners for an urban renewal agency. Pocatello's urban renewal agency was found necessary by Resolution 1988-13. Unlike most other advisory boards, state law declares this agency to be "an independent public body corporate and politic" and gives it a wide range of authority to effectuate urban renewal. The Board consists of a maximum of 9 members who serve 4-year terms.
