ACopy of this disclosure will be forwarded to the Indiana State Ethics Commission. . 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.
