ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION <br /> As an employee of the New Orleans Aviation Board,Mr.Nossaman is a public employee pursuant <br /> to La. R.S. 42:1102(18)(a) and a public servant pursuant to La. R.S. 42:1102(19). For purposes of <br /> the Code, Mr. Nossaman's agency is the New Orleans Aviation Board pursuant to La. R.S. <br /> 42:1102(2)(a)(vi). <br /> La. R.S. 42:1113A(1)(a) prohibits Mr. Nossaman from bidding on or entering into any contract, <br /> subcontract, or other transaction that is under the supervision or jurisdiction of his agency. In this <br /> instance, Mr. Nossaman will be entering into a contract, subcontract, or transaction that is under <br /> the supervision and jurisdiction of the City's Hazard Mitigation Department, not the New Orleans <br /> Aviation Board. <br /> Therefore,the Board concluded and instructed me to inform you that, based on the facts presented, <br /> the Code does not prohibit Mr. Nossaman from entering into the VEA with the City or from <br /> participating in the City's FEMA grant program. <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 /> Governmental Ethics. The Board issues no opinion as to past conduct or laws other than the Code <br /> of 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 /> LOUlS1ANA BOARD OF ETHICS <br /> .� �--� �-�-,�,� <br /> r � , <br /> �.�essica T.
