Re: Engagement Letter for Drug and Alcohol Policy Review and Other Issues
Dear Deb:
On behalf of Bose McKinney & Evans ("BM&E"), I want to thank you for
allowing BM&E the opportunity to be employed by the City of Carmel ("City") to advise
the City in the development and implementation of the City's employee drug and
alcohol policy as well as in other future projects.
As the billing partner for the City's work, I will personally ensure that all work
will be performed by a qualified attorney or legal assistant at the most efficient hourly
rate for the City. Initially, and for the review of the City's drug and alcohol policy, John
Bailey will work directly with Barbara Lamb. Jo 'c hourly wfl! be the discounted
w V .•1 . vim• with ✓ �w+aA r-iws.� �::v rate •Y'11 V
rate of $125/hour, which we are able to offer our best public and quasi-public clients.
In addition, disbursements such as telephone, fax, photocopies, express delivery and
mileage, if incurred, will be billed directly to the City. John anticipates that his review
of the City's policy with Barbara will take approximately 2 hours. Assistance in
revising the policy, if needed, would be pursuant to the instructions and restrictions
outlined by you or Barbara.
Separately from the City's employment of BM&E, John Bailey is accredited
through the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns ("IACT") to perform-audits at a
rate of $500.00. The scope of the audit work includes a review of key documents in
the City's "personnel infrastructure" for legality.

three fifty minute sessions with two ten minute breaks
2nd Quarter $2,000
FLSA Basics for City Supervisors
three fifty minute sessions with two ten minute breaks
3rd Quarter $2,000
Issues in Evaluation & Discipline of City Employees
three fifty minute sessions with two ten minute breaks
4th Quarter
Evaluation & Discipline of Police/Fire Merit Employees

Although this proposal is set up in quarters,the scheduling will be flexible in order to provide the
training as needed.

The cost for preparation and an initial and repeat presentation [on a separate day] of the
topics proposed for the first three quarters would be no more than$6,000. In the second and
third quarters, this would include an update of new developments concerning earlier
presentations.
To "customize"the fourth quarter presentation for Carmel police and fire supervisors
[generally the rank of Lieutenant and above],the current disciplinary process and the files from
any recent disciplinary actions should be reviewed. Total cost for the review and a single three
hour presentation in the fourth quarter would not exceed $1,500.
The total cost for all the training services proposed for 1997 would not exceed $7500.
I would be primarily responsible for development and presentation of the proposed training. If
other attorneys from our public sector labor group are to present any topic, you would have the
option to meet and approve these additional presenters.
For all presentations, we would provide a single copy of course materials customized for
presentation to Carmel supervisors two to three days before the presentation. Duplication and
binding of the materials would be the responsibility of the City. A 21/2 inch white "clear view"
3-ring binder is recommended so that participants can keep all of their materials together for
reference.
As always, if I can provide further information, please contact me at my direct dial
number, (317) 684-5145 or send e-mail to jbailey@boselaw.com.
