Opinion Number

Dear Mayor Michel:

This office is in receipt of your request for an opinion of the Attorney General in regard to the firing of unclassified city supervisors. You indicate that departmental supervisors for the City of Marksville are unclassified, non-elected employees, not subject to civil service laws, and that the legislative charter is silent as to this issue. You state under the Lawrason Act the Mayor would be the proper city official for the hiring and firing of unclassified supervisors, and you ask who is the proper city official for firing unclassified, non-elected employees.

We reiterate…
