MARIGOT--The Collectivité’s Executive Council on Wednesday revealed the nominated members of what will now be four district councils instead of six, at a plenary session of the Council ahead of the installation of these councils and election of the respective boards due to take place on Friday, August 3, 2018.
The boards of the district councils are elected for five years. The councils, as consultative entities, act as an intermediary between the population, elected officials and the Collectivité aside from managing their own districts.
