Commission appoints attorney Kyle Shonikas to quality assurance review committee
Summary
Following the resignation of a long-serving member, the commission appointed New Orleans attorney Kyle Shonikas to the one-year seat on the three-member quality assurance review committee and invited him to introduce himself at the next commission meeting.
The Jefferson Parish Ethics and Compliance Commission appointed attorney Kyle Shonikas to serve as the commission’s representative on the three-member quality assurance review committee at its Jan. 21 meeting. The appointment fills a vacancy created by the recent resignation of a long-serving member, Jim Lehi, and follows notice that the council’s prior appointee, John Benz, also tendered his resignation for health reasons.
A commissioner described Shonikas as an experienced New Orleans lawyer with a long career in private practice and arbitration experience. Commissioners noted that the committee’s work is time-sensitive: it must review IG reports, conduct interviews and publish a quality assurance review no later than May each year. The commission moved and seconded the appointment and recorded affirmative votes; a commissioner said Mr. Shonikas would be invited to the next commission meeting to introduce himself and discuss expectations.
The one-year appointment is subject to annual review by the commission.
