White <br /> Attorney at Law <br /> 111 Freestate Blvd. <br /> Suite 117 <br /> Shreveport, LA 71107-6540 <br /> Re: Ethics Board Docket No. 2018-375 <br /> Dear Mr. White: <br /> The Louisiana Board of Ethics,at its May 18,2018 meeting,considered your request for an advisory <br /> opinion as to whether the Code of Governmental Ethics would prohibit the Caddo Parish Council <br /> from appointing Todd Hopkins to the Board of Commissioners of the North Caddo Hospital Service <br /> District#1. North Caddo Hospital Service District#1 is an agency of the Caddo Parish Commission. <br /> Todd Hopkins serves as the Administrative Assistant for the Caddo Parish Commission, however <br /> he has no voting authority. A vacancy exists on the Board of Commissioners of the North Caddo <br /> Hospital Service District #1 and the Caddo Parish Commission is the authority to make an <br /> appointment to fill the vacancy. <br /> The Board concluded and instructed me to inform you, that the Louisiana Code of Governmental <br /> Ethics would prohibit the Caddo Parish Commission from appointing Todd Hopkins to the Board <br /> of Commissioners for the North Caddo Hospital Service District#1. La.R.S. 42:1113B prohibits <br /> the appointed member of any board or commission,from bidding on or entering into or being in any <br /> way interested in any contract, subcontract, or other transaction which is under the supervision or <br /> jurisdiction of the agency of such appointed member. As Todd Hopkins is employed in the agency <br /> of the Caddo Parish Commission, an appointment by the Commission to the Hospital Service <br /> District Board would be under the supervision and jurisdiction of his agency. <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. The Board issues no <br /> opinion as to past conduct or laws other than Code of Governmental Ethics. If you have any <br /> questions, please contact me at(225) 219-5600 or(800) 842-6630. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> cYA <br /> LOUISIANA BO OF ETHICS <br /> i <br /> Gregory L. Thibodeaux <br /> For the Board <br /> AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER <br />
