James Tyler submitted a request for an advisory opinion regarding whether the Code of Governmental Ethics would prohibit him from bidding on or entering into a contract to supply lawn services to the Desoto Parish Library System while his wife is employed by the Desoto Parish Library System. The Desoto Parish Library has four branches. His wife, Emily Frances Tyler, is employed as a Library Assistant for the Mansfield Main Library. She is not the Branch Manager. Mr. Tyler stated that he has a separate business account that does not include his wife. Additionally, he stated that the Branch Managers supervise the lawn service at each of the four locations.
