A. Except as otherwise provided by law, the governing authority of an airport district composed of land situated in only one parish may either be the governing body of the parish in which the district is located, in which case the officers of the parish governing body shall be the officers of the airport district, or the governing body of the parish creating the airport district, may, in the resolution creating the airport district provided for in R.S. 2:316, provide that a board of commissioners composed of either five, seven, or nine members, so designated at the option of the governing body of the parish creating the airport district, shall be the governing authority of the airport district and shall be selected by the governing body of the parish creating the airport district. The governing body of any parish which has heretofore created an airport district prior to August 21, 1975, and is serving as the governing authority of such airport district may elect to appoint a board of commissioners as the governing authority of such airport district; however, such election shall not have the effect of affecting or impairing in any manner any obligations incurred by the airport district prior to such election, and shall not relieve the governing body of the parish of any liability with respect to any outstanding obligations incurred for airport purposes prior to such election, nor shall the newly appointed board of commissioners be deemed to have assumed any obligations incurred by the governing body of the parish for airport purposes prior to their appointment.
B. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, an airport district composed of land situated in Beauregard Parish shall be governed by a board of commissioners composed of ten members. The board of commissioners shall be selected by the governing authority of Beauregard Parish.
