No. 026, 2001, creating a new Article IV of the City Code pertaining to Authorities of the City and
included the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) and the Fort Collins Housing Authority
(FCHA) in the listing of Authorities. The DDA, created by an ordinance of the Council, is a
separate corporate entity from the City. The FCHA, established by the Council in the manner
