Box 755300 Fairbanks, AK 99775-5300 Re: Advisory Opinion Addressing Denali Commission Compensation AGO File No. AN2010100322 Dear Chair Jacobson: This opinion addresses your request for advice regarding the Request for Ethics Determination, dated January 28, 2013, forwarded to you by Pat Gamble, President of the University of Alaska. As chair of the Board of Regents for the university, you serve as Mr. Gamble's ethics supervisor and are entitled to receive advice under AS 39.52 240(a). Mr. Gamble seeks clarification of his responsibilities under the Executive Branch Ethics Act. Specifically, he asks whether acceptance of federal compensation for service on the Denali Commission, a federal agency created to provide job training and encourage economic development in Alaska, will violate AS 39.52.120. He considers his work with the commission to be part of his job as the president of the university. To date, he has waived compensation from the commission for that work because AS 39.52.120(b)(2) states that a public officer may not receive compensation for performance of official duties from a person other than the state.' He reports that, based on a recent analysis of federal law, the Denali Commission will require that he be paid I Compensation is defined in the Ethics Act to mean any money, thing of value, or economic benefit conferred on or received by a person in return for services rendered or to be rendered by the person for another. AS 39.52.960(7).
