1. The governor, subject to confirmation by the senate, shall
appoint an executive director of the authority, who shall serve at
the pleasure of the governor. The executive director shall be
selected primarily for administrative ability and knowledge in the

director shall not, directly or indirectly, exert influence to induce
any other officers or employees of the state to adopt a political
view, or to favor a political candidate for office.

relating to housing and housing finance, carry out all directives
from the authority, and hire and supervise the authority's staff
pursuant to its directions. All employees of the authority are
exempt from the merit system.
3. The executive director, as secretary of the authority, shall
keep a record of the proceedings of the authority and shall be
custodian of all books, documents, and papers filed with the
authority and of its minute book and seal. The executive director
shall have authority to cause to be made copies of all minutes and
other records and documents of the authority and to give certificates
under the seal of the authority to the effect that such copies are
true copies and all persons dealing with the authority may rely upon
such certificates.
4. The executive director may establish administrative divisions
within the authority in order to most efficiently and effectively
carry out the authority's responsibilities, provided that any
creation or modification of authority divisions be established only
after consultation with the board of the authority. Section History: Early Form
