RS 33:7608
§7608. Advisory board; appointment; tenure; compensation; meetings
A. Upon the certification of the resolution activating a corporation pursuant to R.S. 33:7604, the executive officer, with the advice and consent of the governing body, shall appoint an advisory board of the corporation, consisting of not less than twenty nor more than fifty citizens who shall be qualified electors of the parish or municipality. The members of the advisory board shall be selected as follows:
The executive officer shall request the governing bodies of such civic, community, business or educational organizations as he deems appropriate to submit a list of five nominees for the position of member of the advisory board. He shall appoint no fewer than three-fourths of the advisory board members from among such lists of nominees.
B. Members of an advisory board shall serve until discharged by the executive officer. A member shall hold office until his successor has been appointed and qualified. Vacancies for unexpired terms shall be promptly filled by appointment by the executive officer, provided that new members shall be so appointed that three-fourths of the members of an advisory board shall be persons whose names appeared on the lists described in Subsection A, above or on similar lists subsequently furnished by the above organizations, or from bona fide residents of a new community area, as the case may be.
A member shall receive no compensation for his services, but he shall be entitled to actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of his duties, provided, however, that no expenses incurred for purposes of travel beyond the borders of the State of Louisiana shall be reimbursed unless previously authorized by the board of directors of the corporation.
C. An advisory board shall meet at such times as it may deem proper, provided that it shall meet with the directors of the corporation at least quarterly. Notwithstanding any provisions of general, special or local law to the contrary, no officer or employee of the state, any parish or municipality or agency thereof shall be deemed to have forfeited or shall forfeit his employment or position by reason of his membership on an advisory board.
