ATTACHMENT "A"
I am employed by Stakeholder Incol]lorated. I do not believe that, by virtue of Stakeholder's provision of
survey services to the Carmel Police Department, I will realize any ascertainable increase in my income
or net worth. However, in the interest of full disclosure, I make this Statement. My salary with
Stakeholder is not contingent upon any monies received by Stakeholder for the survey services it will
provide to the Carmel Police Department under the referenced contract, and I will not be involved in any
material way with this survey. To the extent I theoretically benefit indirectly from this survey because it
helps Stakeholder earn a profit and remain in business, my annual "benefit" is certainly less than $250.00.
Therefore, I do not believe that, under I.C. g35-44-l-3, I have any "pecuniary interest" in these
contractual survey services to be provided to the Carmel Police Department by Stakeholder, nor that any
conflict of interest exists. However, I file this Statement in order to avoid even the appearance of
impropriety as a result of my employment status.
