Organisation |
| Basically, the Urban Community is an assembly
of elected officials representing a given territory. Sometime in the
not too distant future, assembly members may be elected directly by
popular vote, but for the present, the composition of the CDA's Community
Council is a compromise between the number of inhabitants in each
town and the need for an equitable balance in the conurbation as a
whole. |
n The
Urban Community's statutes come under the Code Général des
Collectivités governing local and regional authorities. It has
a parliament, the Community Council, an executive branch,
the President, and a Bureau, as well as working groups (commissions
and task forces) for each of the CDA's various spheres of responsibility.
The intermunicipal government has its own resources (budget) and personnel
(services) to implement its projects.
While this is a sound organisational structure governed by regulations,
we must of course be attentive to the changing trends in our society.
How should we adapt to new technologies? How should we gain recognition
for our identity in the outside world? To find answers to these questions,
the Urban Community evolves, creating new delegations or working groups
whenever an imperative need arises. |
