A. The governing authority of Calcasieu Parish may initiate the procedures set forth in R.S. 33:3689.1 through 3689.17, or similar procedures established by law, with respect to a road which is not part of the parish road system if both of the following conditions are met:
(1) The road is below the minimum specifications set for acceptance of a road into the parish road system.
(2) The governing authority expects that it will be able to obtain all necessary rights-of-way for accepting the road into the parish system in accordance with all applicable law.
B. The parish may proceed under the provisions of R.S. 33:3689.1 through 3689.17 or similar provisions of law until the special assessment provided for in such provisions is authorized. However, under no circumstances shall the governing authority collect any assessments or undertake any construction or improvement on the road until the road has been accepted into the parish road system.
C. It is the purpose of this Section to provide a mechanism whereby the governing authority can receive approval for improvement of a road and accept the road into the parish road system simultaneously. It shall be interpreted liberally to allow such purpose but shall not be construed to authorize any change in the procedures by which the parish obtains rights-of-way necessary for the acceptance of a road into the parish system. However, no public expenditure shall be made in violation of Article VII, Section 14 of the Constitution of Louisiana.
