STATE OF LOUISIANA <br /> ..''''OU>'s19:'' DEPARTMENT OF STATE CIVIL SERVICE <br /> •'��OF <br /> L LOUISIANA BOARD OF ETHICS <br /> �V1 <br /> 44, <br /> }'it P.O. BOX 4368 <br /> :;4;411+,,1 c BATON ROUGE,LA 70821 <br /> (225)219-5600 <br /> �.. •••,. <br /> FAX (225)381-7271 <br /> 1-800-842-6630 <br /> www.ethics.la.gov <br /> May 22, 2018 <br /> Mr. Bryce Autin <br /> Attorney at Law <br /> Town of Golden Meadow <br /> 107 Jervis Drive <br /> Golden Meadow, LA 70357 <br /> Re: Ethics Board Docket No. 2018-372 <br /> Dear Mr. Autin: <br /> The Louisiana Board of Ethics,at its May 18,2018 meeting,considered your request for an advisory <br /> opinion regarding whether public employees of the Town of Golden Meadow and their immediate <br /> family members may execute an Agreement for Free Service Line and participate in a"no charge" <br /> sewerage connection program. Golden Meadow is a Lavvrason Act municipality and has received <br /> a Community Development Block Grant to expand its existing sewerage system. The Grant allows <br /> connections to the system at no charge to certain property owners who have a total household income <br /> less than $32,850 for one person in the household; less than $37,550 for two persons in the <br /> household; less than$42,250 for three persons in the household; less than$46,900 for four persons <br /> in the household; less than $50,700 for five persons in the household; less than $54,450 for six <br /> persons in the household; less than$58,200 for seven persons in the household;or less than 61,950 <br /> for eight persons in the household.. The Grant will pay 100%of the cost incurred by the Town in <br /> having its contractor construct the connection between the qualifying property owners'sewer service <br /> lines and the Town's newly-constructed sewer system. To participate, all property owners are <br /> required to complete a form entitled"Application for Utility Line Connection on Private Property." <br /> In order for public employees of the Town to participate they would have to execute the Agreement. <br /> The Board concluded and instructed me to inform you, that the Louisiana Code of Governmental <br /> Ethics (Code) would not prohibit public employees and their immediate family members from <br /> executing the Agreement for Free Service Line and participate in the program discussed above. La. <br /> 42:1113A(1)(a) prohibits a public servant or member of such public servant's immediate family <br /> from bidding on or entering into any contract, subcontract, or other transaction that is under the <br /> supervision or jurisdiction of the agency of such public servant. The execution of the Agreement <br /> for Free Service Line is merely ministerial and as such would not result in public employees <br /> violating the Code of Ethics. <br /> AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER <br />
