RS 140.2 - Separate actions by city and parish
A. Where joint or correlated legislative action is required, as above provided, it is contemplated in this Sub-Part that such joint or correlated legislative action will be taken within a reasonable time after the submission of such ordinances or other measures to the City Council or the Police Jury by the planning commission.
