ed that the Rehab Program is conducted under the CD Housing and Federal Programs Division, <br /> while Mr. Castille is employed in the CD Human Services Division. <br /> The Board concluded, and instructed me to inform you, that Richard Castille is not prohibited <br /> from continuing his participation in the Rehab Program while employed by the Department of <br /> Community Development. La. R.S. 42:1113A prohibits a public servant, or his immediate family <br /> member, from entering into a contract, subcontract, or other transaction that is under the super- <br /> vision or jurisdiction of his agency. La. R.S. 42:1102(2)(a) defines "agency" as a department, of- <br /> fice, division, agency, commission, board, committee, or other organizational unit of a govern- <br /> ment entity. As such, Richard Castille's agency is the CD Human Services Division. Since the <br /> Rehab Program does not fall under the supervision or jurisdiction of the CD Human Services <br /> Division,Mr. Castille is not prohibited from continuing his participation in the Rehab Program. <br /> This advisory opinion is based solely on the facts as set forth herein. Changes to the facts as pre- <br /> sented may result in a different application of the provisions of the Code of Governmental Eth- <br /> ics.
