199O: Territorial authority to provide administrative support for development contributions commissioners

You could also call this:

“Council must give office help to special commissioners”

When a territorial authority (like a city council) uses development contributions commissioners, they must provide all the secretarial and administrative help the commissioners need to do their job properly. This means the territorial authority has to make sure the commissioners have everything they need to carry out their duties under the law. You can think of it like the territorial authority giving the commissioners all the office support they require to do their work effectively.
