(a)

In accordance with the provisions of sections 3.03(A) and 6.01(B) of the Charter, the parish president shall serve as a dual capacity chief administrative officer for the parish and for special districts whose boundaries are wholly within the boundaries of the parish.

(b)

The parish and the special districts are separate and distinct political subdivisions of the State of Louisiana and shall not be construed or considered as one (1) and the same governmental entity notwithstanding the president may serve as the chief administrative officer of each.

(c)

When the president, as a "dual capacity" officer, acts as the chief administrative officer of a special district, it is the special district which is acting by and through the president. When president exercises parish governmental powers as the chief administrative officer of the parish, it is the parish which is acting by and through the president.

(d)

When a matter pertains to the business or functions of a special district, it shall be presumed that the president is acting as the chief administrative officer of such special district.
