CONCLUSION <br /> The Board concluded, and instructed me to inform you, that the Code of Governmental Ethics <br /> would prohibit the Sabine Parish Police Jury from hiring Mr. Nick Chreene as assistant. <br /> superintendent of the Sabine Parish Landfill if it were to hire his father, Mr. Peter Chreene, as <br /> superintendent. La. R.S. 42:1119 prohibits an immediate family member of an agency head from <br /> being employed in their agency. As superintendent, Mr. Peter Chreene would be considered the <br /> agency head and his son,Mr.Nick Chreene,is his immediate family member;therefore,the Sabine <br /> Parish Police Jury would be prohibited from hiring the younger Mr.Chreene to work in his father's <br /> agency. <br /> This advisory opinion is based solely on the facts as set forth herein. Changes to the facts presented <br /> may result in a different application of the provisions of the Code of Ethics. The Board issues no <br /> opinion as to past conduct or laws other than Code of Governmental Ethics. If you have any <br /> questions, please contact me at(225)219-5600 or(800) 842-6630. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> LOUISIANA BOARD OF ETHICS <br /> HA,/ le- <br /> Matthew R.
