The plaintiffs next claim is that the trial court erred in ruling as a matter of law that the city of Bridgeport did not stand in an agency relationship to the BHA. The plaintiff asserts that an agency relationship exists because the municipality has the power to create the authority under General Statutes § 8-40 and it has control over the BHA by the power to appoint and remove commissioners under General Statutes § 8-41. In the alternative, the plaintiff argues that an agency relationship existed for a particular purpose, i.e., police protection, because of the “Cooperation Agreement” that existed and the claim that the city hired six police officers for all of the BHA’s projects.
