The services of a syndicat mixte (public-private association) involving only territorial authorities or territorial authorities and groupings of authorities may be made available in whole or in part to its member authorities or groupings, for the exercise of their powers. An agreement concluded between the union and the local authorities or groupings concerned sets out the terms and conditions of such provision. This agreement sets out, in particular, the conditions for reimbursement by the local authority or grouping of the operating costs of the service.
Under the same conditions, by way of derogation from article L. 5721-6-1, the services of a member territorial authority or grouping of authorities may be made available, in whole or in part, to the joint association for the exercise of its powers.
The mayor or president of the territorial authority or grouping of authorities sends directly to the head of the department made available all the instructions necessary for the performance of the tasks that it entrusts to the said department. He supervises the performance of these tasks.
He may, under his supervision and responsibility, by decree, delegate his signature to the head of the said department for the performance of the tasks that he entrusts to him in application of the previous paragraph.
