Lafayette’s City-Parish Attorney To Resign

In a statement released this week, Ottinger says he believes the administration and City-Parish Council would be well served by a fresh face.

Ottinger has held the job since 2004.

The Advocate reported Wednesday that under the Home Rule Charter, the city-parish president appoints the city-parish attorney, but the appointment is subject to the approval of the city-parish council.

Lafayette Consolidated Government anticipates that a replacement will be considered and named by the council at its Jan. 25 meeting.
