during the term of his public employment on a contractual basis, regardless of the parties to the <br /> contract, to, for, or on behalf of the agency with which he was formerly employed. <br /> ANALYSIS <br /> La. R.S. 42:1121 A and B prohibit Mr. Dark from contracting with his former agency, the City of <br /> Shreveport, for 2 years from the termination of his public service. Mr. Dark terminated his public <br /> service fourteen years ago. <br /> Further, it is not within the Board's jurisdiction as to whether the CAO may be an independent <br /> contractor with the authority to supervise city departments and employees, approve contracts, and <br /> other duties as assigned by the Mayor as to whether Mr. Dark can receive his City retirement and <br /> contract with the City to provide services. <br /> CONCLUSION <br /> The Board concluded, and instructed me to inform you, that the post-employment provisions of <br /> the Code does not prohibit Mr. Dark from contracting with the City of Shreveport to provide <br /> "professional services"as the CAO. <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 Governmental <br /> Ethics. The Board issues no opinion as to past conduct and or to laws other than the Code of <br /> Governmental Ethics, the Campaign Finance Disclosure Act, the Lobbyist Disclosure Acts, and <br /> the conflict of interest provisions contained in the Louisiana Gaming Control Law. <br /> If you have any questions, please contact me at(800) 842-6630 or(225) 219-5600. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> LOUISIANA BOARD OF ETHICS <br /> Suzanne Q. Mooney <br /> For the Board <br /> Page 2 of 2 (BD 2023-138) <br />
