§850.3. Union Parish Detention Center Commission members
A. The Union Parish Detention Center Commission shall be composed of the president of the Union Parish Police Jury during his tenure as such; a member of the police jury, other than its president, who shall be selected by a majority vote of the Union Parish Police Jury for a term of four years or until said juror's term of office ends, whichever occurs first; the sheriff of Union Parish; the district attorney of Union Parish; and the chief of police of the city of Farmerville.
The chairman of the commission shall be selected by majority vote of all members of the commission. It shall be the duty of the chairman to conduct all meetings of the commission in accordance with law and the resolutions adopted by a majority of the commission. In the same manner, the commission shall select a vice-chairman from among its number, who shall serve as chairman in the latter's absence.
B. The secretary of the Union Parish Police Jury may serve as secretary of the commission and the Union Parish treasurer may serve as ex officio treasurer of the commission.
C. The members of the Union Parish Detention Center Commission shall receive no compensation.
D. Should any member of the Union Parish Detention Center Commission be sued individually for damages arising out of or in any way connected with the performance of his duties as such commission member, it shall be the responsibility of the Union Parish Police Jury to provide such member with a legal defense to such suit, including reasonable attorney's fees, investigating costs, and other related expenses not paid by any insurance. Should any such commission member be cast in judgment for damages in such a suit, it shall be the obligation of the Union Parish Police Jury to indemnify him fully against such judgment, including all principal, interest, and costs in excess of that paid by any insurance company.
Nothing in this Section shall require the Union Parish Police Jury to indemnify a commission member against a judgment wherein there is a specific decree in the judgment that the action of the commission member was malicious, and willfully and deliberately intended to cause bodily harm.
