RE:
Advisory opinion request from Rich Dupree regarding whether he may work part-time and receive compensation from Louisiana College while he is employed with the City of Pineville.
Facts:
Rich Dupree is currently Chief of Staff for Pineville Mayor Clarence Field. As a Mayoral Assistant, he is not appointed or a civil service employee, but serves at the pleasure of the Mayor. Mr. Dupree is considering working part-time for Louisiana College as its public address announcer for home college basketball games this season. The City of Pineville currently has a Cooperative Endeavor Agreement with Louisiana College for sponsorship of its athletic programs. The City of Pineville supports Louisiana College by purchasing fence signs on each of the college's ball fields. The City of Pineville purchases the sponsorship once a year pursuant to the Cooperative Endeavor Agreement. Mr. Dupree was not involved in the purchase of the sponsorship from Louisiana College, and he does not have authority to sign Cooperative Endeavor Agreements on behalf of the City of Pineville
