To exercise the administration of district interests and services, the councils shall have instrumental legal personality (personalidad jurídica instrumental), with all the attributes derived from legal personality.
As attached bodies, the councils shall have, with the municipality of which they form a part, the links (ligámenes) they agree upon among themselves. In such agreements, the matters and controls reserved by the municipal councils shall be determined. The administration and governance of district interests shall be exercised by a body of council members (concejales) and by a district intendant (intendente), subject to the links (ligámenes) established.
(Thus amended by Article 1 of Law No. 9208 of February 20, 2014) (Note from Sinalevi: By means of Constitutional Chamber Resolution No. 021271 of October 30, 2019, and corrected in its operative part by means of Constitutional Chamber Resolution No. 021276 of November 1, 2019, this article was declared constitutional insofar as the phrase "all the attributes derived from legal personality" is understood as an instrumental personería for the purposes of managing and executing the resources assigned for the fulfillment of the district's own tasks and competencies and cannot be understood to the detriment of the constitutional and legal competencies of the Municipalities.)
