STATE OF LOUISIANA <br /> ,,,,, Lop,.. DEPARTMENT OF STATE CIVIL SERVICE <br /> ;' ° �9ye LOUISIANA BOARD OF ETHICS <br /> 'i ae P.O. BOX 4368 <br /> //. <br /> 1BATON ROUGE,LA 70821 <br /> (225)219-5600 <br /> '''"° FAX (225)381-7271 <br /> 1-800-842-6630 <br /> www.ethics.la.gov <br /> June 18, 2018 <br /> Mr. Lionel Wilson <br /> 5668 McCoy Byrnes Road <br /> Ethel, LA 70730 <br /> Re: Ethics Board Docket No. 2018-110 <br /> Dear Mr. Wilson: <br /> The Louisiana Board of Ethics,at its June 15,2018 meeting,considered your request for an advisory <br /> opinion as to whether the Code of Governmental Ethics would prohibit you from being employed <br /> as a consultant for a community action agency who may have contracted with the Louisiana <br /> Workforce Commission(LWC). You stated that you retired from LWC on December 21, 2017 as <br /> a Workforce Development Specialist in the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) unit. You <br /> stated that you did not manage others and your duties included reviewing for correctness documents <br /> submitted to the CSBG unit by community action agencies across the state of Louisiana. You further <br /> stated that while you reviewed the documents you had no authority to make any final decisions <br /> relative to contracts, funding, policy or any other actions that directly affected the agencies. You <br /> stated that you have been approached by a number of the community action agencies to provide <br /> consulting services and assistance on development of plans such as strategic planning,organizational <br /> standards, community needs assessment, board training and bylaws and other planning and <br /> developments relative to the programmatic and operational function of their community action <br /> agency. You stated that your duties as a consultant are not the same as your duties while employed <br /> with the CSBG. <br /> The Board concluded and instructed me to inform you, that the Louisiana Code of Governmental <br /> Ethics would not prohibit you from being employed as a consultant for a community action agency <br /> that is under contract with LWC. La. R.S. 42:1121B provides that no former employee shall, for a <br /> period of two years following the termination of his public employment, assist another person, for <br /> compensation, in a transaction, or in an appearance in connection with a transaction in which such <br /> former public employee participated at any time during his public employment and involving the <br /> governmental entity by which he was formerly employed, or for a period of two years following <br /> termination of his public employment, render any service which such former public employee had <br /> rendered to the agency during the term of his public employment on a contractual basis,regardless <br /> of the parties to the contract, to, for, or on behalf of the agency with which he was formerly <br /> employed. Provided that you do not work on projects that you worked on in your former position <br /> with the CSBG unit of LWC, the Ethics code would not prohibit you from working on projects as <br /> a consultant for a community action agency that has contracted with LWC. <br /> AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER <br />
