BOOK VIII: SPECIAL PROVISIONS

The provisions of article L. 5222-1 are not applicable to the communes of the Moselle, Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin departments.

If several communes have undivided ownership of property or rights, it may, at the request of one of the communes, be set up by order of the State representative in the département a syndicate commission made up of delegates from the communes concerned for the administration of this undivided property. This decree sets the number of members.

Each municipal council appoints from among its members, by secret ballot, the number of delegates set by the instituting decision. The members who obtain the highest number of votes are appointed. The chairman of the syndicate commission is appointed from among its members by the State representative in the department.

The syndicate commission is formed anew after each renewal of the municipal councils. If, in the meantime, a member of the syndicate commission ceases to be a member of the municipal council, he or she ceases to belong to the commission at the same time.

The syndicate committee may be dissolved at any time by order of the State representative in the department. The State representative in the department may suspend or dismiss the chairman of the committee.
