Art. 67 LC - Acts of the Municipality · Acts of the Municipality

1. For the acts of the municipality to be valid in form, they must be issued under the signature of the mayor and the secretary or their appointed substitute by the municipality, and bear the seal of this authority; if they are executed pursuant to a decision of the general or municipal council, they must reference this decision, which is attached to the act.

2. The municipality may, by decision, delegate the power of signature to one of its members, to a municipal official, or employee. The delegation is carried out by an express power of attorney given under the signature of the mayor and the secretary or their appointed substitute by the municipality, and bearing the seal of this authority.

3. The power of attorney may be special or general. In the latter case, it specifies the limits and duration of the mandate.

5. Decisions made on the basis of a delegation are subject to an administrative appeal before the municipality. The appeal is conducted in accordance with the law on administrative procedure.
