§2106. Domicile; change of domicile; meetings to be held at domicile

In the ordinance creating an irrigation district under this Part, the domicile of the district shall be designated. The commissioners of an irrigation district may at any time, by resolution, establish a different domicile, within the district, after having given notice of intention to change the domicile. The notice shall be signed by the president or secretary of the commissioners, and published once a week for thirty days in a newspaper published in the parish of the then existing domicile, or if there is no newspaper in the parish, then in a newspaper published in an adjoining parish. After publication of the notice, the commissioner by resolution may make the change of domicile. A copy of the resolution, when adopted, shall be recorded in the mortgage office of each parish in which any part of the district is situated.

Irrigation districts created under this Part shall be sued only in the court of their domicile, and not at any other place.

All meetings of the board of commissioners shall be held at the domicile of the irrigation district. By unanimous vote of all of the commissioners composing the board at a meeting of the board held at the domicile, the board may designate a different place at which meetings of the board may be held, as may be by the board of commissioners deemed most convenient to the board and the persons having business transactions therewith.

In the ordinance creating irrigation districts, there shall be designated a time and place for the commissioners of the district to hold their organization meeting.
