(1) A mayor or alderman may not invest in a project if the board of mayor and aldermen authorize financial assistance for the project. Each type of assistance considered would involve a contract which would be authorized by the board of mayor and aldermen, and an investor would have an interest in the contracts, as prohibited in Section 109, Miss. Const. of 1890, and Section 25-4-105(2), Miss. Code of 1972. (2) Based on the specific facts provided in this opinion, a fiinancially independent relative of the mayor or aldermen may invest in the project, however if the financially independent relative (not a spouse) is an investor, then the affected public servant must fully recuse himself or herself from any board action involving the project, pursuant to Section 25-4-105(1), Miss. Code of 1972.
