La. R.S. 42:1121(A)(2) provides that no former member of a board or
commission shall, for a period of two years following the termination
of his public service on such board or commission, contract with, be
employed in any capacity by, or be appointed to any position by that
board or commission.

authority to appoint such employees as it may deem necessary for its
work, whose appointment, promotion, demotion, and removal shall be
subject to the same general provisions as govern other corresponding
civil employees of the parishes and municipalities cooperating to engage
in regional planning.
