1. As an alternative to the appointment of five members of the agency pursuant to NRS 279.440 and as an alternative to the procedures set forth in NRS 279.443, the legislative body may, at the time of the adoption of a resolution pursuant to NRS 279.428, or at any time thereafter, declare itself to be the agency, in which case, all the rights, powers, duties, privileges and immunities vested by this chapter in an agency are vested in the legislative body of the community. If the legislative body of a city declares itself to be the agency pursuant to this subsection, it may include the mayor of the city as part of the agency regardless of whether the mayor is a member of the legislative body.

2. A city may enact its own procedural ordinance and exercise the powers granted by this chapter.

3. An agency may delegate to a community any of the powers or functions of the agency with respect to the planning or undertaking of a redevelopment project in the area in which that community is authorized to act, and that community may carry out or perform those powers or functions for the agency.
