The Code of Governmental Ethics does not prohibit the Rural Franklinton Water Corporation from applying for and receiving funding from Washington Parish, while Reginald McMasters, a Board of Directors member, serves as an elected member of the Washington Parish Council, but the Code requires Mr. McMasters to recuse himself from voting on any matter before the Parish Council involving the Water Corp., and the Code prohibits Mr. McMaters from receiving compensation from the Water Corp. once it applies to receive funding from the Parish.
