You stated that you did work on these projects <br /> while employed by LCG until lune 30, 2015 but did not work on the projects while employed by <br /> APC. <br /> The Board concluded, and instructed me to inform you, that the Louisiana Code of Governmental <br /> Ethics would not prohibit you from contracting with the City of Broussard with respect to the <br /> transferring of federal funds through an existing project to another project through the DOTD's <br /> Transportation Improvement Plan unless you worked on those projects while employed by the <br /> Acadian Planning Commission.La RS.42:1121B provides that no former public employee shall, <br /> fora period of two years following the termination of his public employment,assist another person. <br /> for compensation, in a transaction, or in an appearance in connection with a transaction in which <br /> such former public employee participated at any time during his public employment and involving <br /> the governmental entity by which he was formerly employed. This Section also provides that no <br /> former public employee shall for a period of two years following termination of his public <br /> employment, render, any service which such former public employee had rendered to the agency <br /> during the term of his public employment on a contractual basis, regardless of the patties to the <br /> contract, to, for, or on behalf of the agency with which he was formerly employed. The City of <br /> Broussard is not consider a person within the Code of Governmental Ethics, therefore, your <br /> assistance to them for compensation, in general, would not be prohibited. However, you would be <br /> prohibited from contracting with the City of Broussard for the remaining components of the plan <br /> for Ambassador Caffey Parkway Southern project related to sidewalks and landscaping that remain <br /> and other projects in which you participated on behalf of LCG as these were services you rendered <br /> to the City of Broussard while employed by LCG. This prohibition would be limited to two years <br /> from your termination of employment with the LCG and the subsequent two years oftennination <br /> from APC. <br /> This advisory opinion is based solely on the facts as set forth herein. Changes to the facts presented <br /> may result in a different application of the provisions of the Code of Ethics.
