I didn't have any "concerns", I was looking for clarity about what was
meant by an "institution" given that a "city hall" was cited as an
example... 

Sounds like there are formally two distinct bodies in Paris which share
buildings and staff. The fact that a given council meeting is either one
thing or the other is a big clue: 

"Although Paris has a double role as a _commune_ and as a _département_,
it has a unique method for governing both; the Council of Paris, with
the Mayor of Paris as its president, meets either as a municipal council
(_conseil municipal_) or as a departmental council (_conseil général_)
depending on the issue to be debated." 

>From the website of the Mairie: 

"LES CONSEILLERS DE PARIS siègent à la fois au Conseil d'arrondissement
dont ils sont élus et au Conseil de Paris où ils ont une double fonction
: ils sont à la fois conseillers municipaux et conseillers
départementaux."
