prohibited from receiving compensation of any kind, including but not limited to salary, benefits, <br /> or the promise of delayed, future salary payments. As a result of the Section 1111C(2)(d) <br /> prohibition, Mr. Mayer is required to choose between remaining a GIS employee or a BLFWD <br /> Board member. The decision must be made before the BLFWD considers the potential contract, <br /> as the conflict of interest arises when GIS enters into, or seeks to enter into, a contract with <br /> BLFWD. <br /> The Board noted that recusal pursuant to La. R.S. 42:1120.4 does not remedy the violation of La. <br /> R.S. 42:1111(C)(2)(d). <br /> CONCLUSION <br /> The Board concluded,and instructed me to inform you,that based on the facts presented,the Code <br /> prohibits Mr. Mayer from simultaneously maintaining his BLFWD membership and employment <br /> with GIS, should GIS enter into, or seek to enter into, a contractual, business, or financial <br /> relationship with BLFWD. <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 Louisiana Code of <br /> Govemmental Ethics. The Board issues no opinion as to past conduct or as to laws other than the <br /> Louisiana Code of Governmental Ethics, the Campaign Finance Disclosure Act, the Lobbyist <br /> Disclosure Act, and the conflict of interest provisions contained in the Louisiana Gaming Control - <br /> Law.
