Dear Mr. Coulon:
Your opinion request asked for clarification of the Louisiana "Open Meetings Law" with regard to the Jefferson Parish Library Board. As background you state that the Board is an advisory board to the public library and has seven members. As an advisory board, the Board is covered by the Open Meetings Law, La. R.S.
Therefore it is the opinion of this office that a meeting of four members of the board to interview a prospective director is a public meeting; which must be noticed, open to the public, and at which written minutes must be taken. The board may go into executive session to discuss the qualifications of the applicant.
We trust the foregoing answers your question and remain,
Yours very truly,
RICHARD P. IEYOUB Attorney General
