Box 500 <br /> Raceland, Louisiana 70394 <br /> Re: Ethics Board Docket No. 2019-262 <br /> Dear Ms. Rodriguez: <br /> The Louisiana Board of Ethics,at its April 12,2019 meeting,considered your request for an advisory <br /> opinion as to whether the employment of Chantell Vedros with Lafourche Parish Council on Aging <br /> would be prohibited if her aunt is appointed to the board. <br /> FACTS PROVIDED <br /> You stated that Florence Bradford has submitted an application to serve on the Lafourche Parish <br /> Council on Aging. Ms. Bradford's niece is employed by the Council. <br /> LAW <br /> La. R.S. 42:1119A states that no member of the immediate family of an agency head shall be <br /> employed in his agency. <br /> La. R.S. 42:1119B provides no member of the immediate family of a member of a governing <br /> authority or the chief executive of a governmental entity shall be employed by the governmental <br /> entity. <br /> La.R.S.42:1102(13)defines"immediate family"as the term relates to a public servant to mean his <br /> children,the spouses of his children,his brothers and their spouses,his sisters and their spouses,his <br /> parents, his spouse, and the parents of his spouse. <br /> CONCLUSION <br /> The Board concluded,and instructed me to inform you,that the Code of Governmental Ethics would <br /> not prohibit the continued employment of Chantell Vedros if her aunt, Florence Bradford, is <br /> appointed to the Lafourche Parish Council on Aging Board since Ms. Vedros is not considered to <br /> be an immediate family member of Ms. Bradford's for purposes of the Code of Ethics. <br /> AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER <br />
