Where the personal residence of the president of the departmental council is located outside the conurbation comprising the commune that is the capital of the department and the department’s estate includes official accommodation, the departmental council may determine by deliberation the terms and conditions under which this accommodation is allocated to him or her.
Where the departmental estate does not include such accommodation, the departmental council may, by deliberation, decide to award the president a subsistence allowance, within the limit of the daily allowances allocated for this purpose to State civil servants, in respect of the expenses he has incurred in order to be present at the county town to manage departmental affairs.
