Box 4017-C <br /> Lafayette, Louisiana 70502 <br /> Re: Docket No. 2023-969 <br /> Advisory Opinion <br /> Dear Mr. Marcantel: <br /> The Louisiana Board of Ethics, at its February 2, 2024 meeting, considered your advisory opinion <br /> request as to any issues under the Code of Governmental Ethics ("Code") concerning a plan <br /> allowing a member of your immediate family to submit an application for employment with <br /> Lafayette Consolidated Government("LCG") while you serve as Civil Service Director for LCG. <br /> FACTS PROVIDED <br /> You currently serve as Civil Service Director for LCG, and are the head of the Civil Service <br /> Department (the "Department"). Your son, Alexander Marcantel would like to submit an <br /> application for employment with LCG and be employed by LCG. <br /> The Department is responsible for administering a pre-employment test for all LCG job applicants, <br /> and works with other departments within LCG to determine pay rates for LCG employees. The <br /> administration of the test and setting of the pay rates is based on objective criteria, and any <br /> subjective review of an applicant or employee would be made by the specific department within <br /> LCG which would be hiring the applicant or reviewing the employee. <br /> You have submitted a disqualification plan to avoid any potential violation of La. R.S. 42:1112, <br /> whereby you would recuse yourself from participating in any transaction or duties involving <br /> Alexander Marcantel, including, but not limited to, approval of application, testing, certification, <br /> interviews, and appointment. Any such decisions would be handled by a Civil Service Business <br /> Partner or the LCG Municipal Civil Service Board, as appropriate pursuant to municipal <br /> regulations. <br /> LAW <br /> La. R.S. 42:1112B(1) states that no public servant shall participate in a transaction involving the <br /> governmental entity in which, to his actual knowledge, any member of his immediate family has <br /> a substantial economic interest. <br /> Page 1 of 3 (BD 2023-969) <br /> AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER <br />
