Subsection 2: Operation

The Corsican sites council meets when convened by its chairman, or by its co-chairmen, when it is meeting in a formation known as “heritage and architecture”; this convening is by right when the majority of members request it. The sites council establishes its internal rules. The convening, which is sent at least twelve days before the section meeting, sets the venue of the meeting and specifies the agenda. In urgent…

The sites council may validly deliberate, in each of its formations, only if the majority of its members are present or represented. When the quorum is not reached on a given agenda, the sites council may deliberate regardless of the number of members after a new convocation covering the same agenda and specifying that no quorum will be required.

The Prefect of Corsica chairs the Sites Council. He co-chairs it with the President of the Corsican Executive Council when the council meets in a “heritage and architecture” formation. The duties of secretary are carried out by a civil servant appointed by the Corsican Prefect. .

Except when the sites council sits in a “heritage and architecture” formation, the chairman has the casting vote in the event of a tie. A secret ballot is automatically held when three members present or represented so request.

State departments, local authorities and public services that are not represented on the sites council may be heard on matters that concern them, at the request of the chairman or co-chairmen when the council is sitting in a “heritage and architecture” formation. The council may also hear any person whose testimony it deems useful. .

The provisions of articles R. 4421-10 to R. 4421-14, insofar as they govern the operation of the Corsican Sites Council sitting in a formation known as “heritage and architecture”, are applicable to the permanent delegation created within the latter. .
