Opinion Number

Dear Rep. Salter:

You requested the opinion of this office on behalf of the Sabine Council on Aging, Inc. (the "Council"). In July of 2003, the voters passed a 1/4% sales tax dedicated for the Council. The Council is also in the process of issuing Excess Revenue Certificates to purchase a tract of land and the Louisiana Legislature in the 2003 Capital Outlay Act appropriated $250,000 in State general fund direct for a new Council facility. Your question is whether the land can be titled in the name of the Council or should the land be titled in the name of the Parish.

It is the opinion of this…
