One spouse may serve as alderman in a ward while the other spouse simultaneously serves as alderman at large in the same municipality. While the spouse of an alderman may not be employed by the municipality, aldermen are not employees and do not have a contract but instead hold a public office. Therefore, no violation of Section 109, Miss. Const. of 1890 or Section 25-4-105(2), Miss. Code of 1972, will result if spouses simultaneously serve on the board of aldermen. Yet neither alderman may participate in any action which results in a monetary benefit to their spouse, as proscribed in Section 25-4-105(1).
