bution of legal notices and other Town matters, while LeeAnn Clement is employed as the <br /> Town Clerk. La. R.S. 42:1113 prohibits a public servant, a member of the public servant's <br /> immediate family, or a legal entity in which she has a controlling interest from entering into <br /> any contract, subcontract, or other transaction that is under the supervision or jurisdiction <br /> of the public servant's agency. <br /> Finally, since you indicated LeeAnn Clement has check signing authority as Town Clerk, the <br /> Code of Governmental Ethics would prohibit LeeAnn Clement's participation in a transac- <br /> tion involving the Town and the Banner. La. R.S. 42:1112A prohibits a public servant's par- <br /> ticipation in a transaction involving the governmental entity in which she has a personal sub- <br /> stantial economic interest. La. R.S. 42:1112B(1) and (3) also prohibit any participation in a <br /> transaction involving the governmental entity in which the public servant's immediate family <br /> member or person of which she is an officer, director, trustee, partner, or employee has a <br /> substantial economic interest. <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 <br /> Board issues no opinion as to past conduct or as to laws other than the Code of Ethics. If <br /> you have any questions,please contact me at(800)842-6630 or(225)219-5600. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> LOUISIANA BOARD OF ETHICS <br /> LCL_ <br /> David M. Bordelon <br /> For the Board <br />
