RE:
Advisory opinion request from Ms. Bobbie Bourgeois of the East Feliciana Parish Economic Development District (EFPEDD) regarding the hiring of Ms. Maria Bowen as a consultant while her father, Carneal Woodyear, is a member of EFPEDD Board of Directors.
Facts:
After follow up correspondence with Ms. Bourgeois, she stated that the Board of Directors no longer needs an advisory opinion regarding this matter because the Board will retain someone else who has no connection to the East Feliciana Economic Development Board.

Law:
Section 1119 of the Code of Ethics states that no member of the immediate family of an agency head shall be employed in his agency.

Section 1112 of the Code states a public servant shall not participate in a transaction involving his governmental entity if a member of his immediate family has a substantial economic interest.

Recommendations:
Allow for the withdrawal of the request for an advisory opinion.

Assigned Attorney: Brent Durham
