SUBPART A.  GENERAL PROVISIONS

§311.  Definition; political subdivisions may create airport districts

A.  "Political subdivision(s)" as used in this Part means any parish of this state as well as any county of another adjoining or adjacent state which is authorized by the law of that state to engage in a joint endeavor for the creation and operation of an airport district with a political subdivision of this state.  In any such joint endeavor, except to the extent manifestly inconsistent with this Part, the law of that state will govern the acquisition of lands in such other state, and the appointment, term of service, and compensation for commissioners appointed by or for such county.

B.  The governing authorities of the parishes may create airport districts composed of territory located within one or more political subdivisions and such districts may comprise a combination of or parts of political subdivisions or municipalities, either both or severally, provided, however, that when an incorporated municipality is included in an airport district, the governing authority of the municipality shall concur by resolution in its inclusion in the district and in the boundaries of the district.
