OFFICIAL ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OPINION
April 25, 1991
Gerald C. Gex, Esquire
Attorney, Board of Supervisors
Water Tower Plaza
636 Highway 90
Waveland, MS 39576
Re: Employment of Attorney
Dear Mr. Gex:
Attorney General Mike Moore has received your letter and has
assigned it to me for reply. A copy of your letter is attached
for reference.
You ask if the board of supervisors could pay for the legal
defense of the zoning commission's attorney.    Section 25-1-47
provides that the board can pay for the legal defense of any
employee, officer, agent, servant or appointee when the claim
made is based on actions or nonactions within the capacity of
such officer, employee, servant, agent or appointee.     If the
board finds, consistent    with fact, that the action concerns
actions taken by the commission's attorney, while acting in his
official capacity as the attorney for the commission, then it has
the discretion to pay for the legal defense of the commission's
attorney.
Very truly yours,
HIKE MOORE, ATTORNEY GENERAL
