§ 34140 Commission Powers And Duties

• •The commission is in charge of important jobs like fixing up neighborhoods and helping with housing.
• •The people on the commission (called commissioners) have the power to make decisions for the community.
• •The work they do is for the public good, not for private companies or individuals.

A neighborhood has old, broken-down houses and needs better places for people to live.

The commission can decide to fix up the houses or build new ones because their job is to help the community.
