In the context of the doctrine of incompatible offices, it is the nature and duties of the offices and positions that are controlling and not the status of the positions as offices or positions of employment. The doctrine of incompatibility prohibits a person from simultaneously holding a public office and an incompatible position of public employment. The doctrine applies where the nature and duties of two offices are such as to render it improper from considerations of public policy for one person to discharge the duties of both.

The bottom line, of course, is that the General Assembly, should it wish to prohibit a board of county commissioners or a city council from appointing its employees to a facility authority, it has the authority to do so.

It did not do so here. Having concluded that the county manager and city attorney may be appointed to the Centennial Authority, we next address whether these individuals would be prohibited from participating in discussions and votes which arguably could affect Wake County and Raleigh.

The Facility Authority Act directly addresses that issue in N. The member, officer, or employee having an interest shall not participate on behalf of the Authority in the authorization of such contract.

Other provisions of law notwithstanding, failure to take any or all actions necessary to carry out the purposes of this subsection do not affect the validity of any bonds or notes issued under this Chapter. It follows, therefore, that the managers and attorneys of the City of Raleigh and Wake County appointed to the Centennial Authority could participate in discussions and votes affecting the city and county.
