Two (2) tenant commissioners shall serve on the community development commission at such times as that commission is acting in the capacity of a housing commission, and at such times the number of members of that commission shall be increased to nine (9). The tenant commissioners shall serve for terms of two (2) years, from the date of their appointments, and their successors shall be tenants.

(a) No member of the community development commission shall acquire any direct or indirect interest in any housing project or any property included or planned to be included in any project, nor shall (s)he have any direct or indirect interest in any contract or proposed contract for materials or services to be furnished or used in connection with any housing project. If (s)he owns or controls a direct or indirect interest in any such property, (s)he shall immediately make a written disclosure of it to the housing authority and such disclosure shall be entered upon its minutes. Failure so to disclose his/her interest constitutes misconduct in office.
