| Advisory opinion request regarding whether Shane Rauh's post-employment restrictions would prohibit him from working for a private company that would require him to do work with the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness after his employment with GOHSEP ends. |
|
Shane Rauh was hired as a grants manager with the Office of Community Development (OCD) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program in January of 2012. His duties while employed by OCD included oversight of the grant in accordance with federal and statutory requirements, quality control, and closeout management involving the final stages of mitigation projects until completion. He supervised employees in regard to preparing documentation on each applicant's file for submission to FEMA to "close-out, complete" that individual grant.
In October of 2015, OCD was dissolved and the remaining employees were absorbed by GOHSEP. The OCD Hazard Mitigation Grant Program officially closed on May 31, 2016.
