§5904. Additional powers

A. In addition to the powers otherwise granted by this Chapter, law enforcement districts shall have the authority:

(1) To execute such contracts and other instruments and take such other action as may be necessary to fulfill the purposes of this Chapter.

(2) To enter into management agreements whereby the law enforcement district would manage a law enforcement facility in the respective parish, including but not limited to publicly or privately owned detention facilities in the parish. A management agreement entered into by a law enforcement district shall not constitute a debt or obligation of the general credit or revenues of the law enforcement district and any payments due by the law enforcement district to the owners of the facility managed thereunder shall be payable only out of the revenues derived from the operation of the facility so managed.

B. Any contract, agreement, lease, sublease, obligation, management agreement, or other instrument entered into by the law enforcement district shall be legal, valid, and binding upon the district, including any subsequent ex officio chief executive officer of the law enforcement district, notwithstanding that the term of such contract, agreement, lease, sublease, obligation, management agreement, or other instrument extends beyond the expiration of the term of the current ex officio chief executive officer of the law enforcement district.
