The SEDD Board of Directors passed a resolution <br /> authorizing its Executive Director to enter into a contract with RCA to provide outpatient mental <br /> health services to the indigent population of E.A. Conway Hospital.However,you were previously <br /> convicted of a low grade felony for impeding the administration of the IRS. You ask whether you <br /> or RCA would be prohibited from entering into a contract with SEDD. You are not employed by or <br /> a board member of SEDD. <br /> The Board concluded,and instructed me to inform you,that under the facts presented herein, <br /> nothing in the Code of Governmental Ethics would prohibit you or RCA from entering into contracts <br /> with SEDD. <br /> This advisory opinion is based solely on the facts as set forth herein. Changes to the facts as <br /> presented may result in a different application of the provisions of the Code of Ethics. The Board <br /> issues no opinion as to past conduct or as to laws other than the Code of Governmental Ethics.
