Subject: Trancik
Good afternoon, Mayor:
This matter was initially heard at the February 1, 2012 Board of Public Works meeting, and
you suggested a mediation to resolve the dispute for all parties. The parties agreed to your
suggestion. The attorney for the neighbors (Smith and Throgmarten), who is Jeff
McDermott, and myself have been attempting to advance toward mediation, but Trancik's
attorney, who is Scott Treadway, is ignoring us and being obstreperous. Jeff
McDermott delivered a letter to our office today (attached), advising that his clients cannot
proceed with mediation based upon the bad faith that has been shown by Treadway and his
clients. I will be present at the time of the BPW meeting this week in the event that you have
questions of me on this matter. We will also be working to get the appeal back on the BPW
calendar so that it can be ruled on by the Board. Thank you for your assistance with this
matter. It is unfortunate that the good intention of mediation could not come to pass.
Best regards, Judy Hester

Re: Trancik vs. City of Carmel
Dear Scott,
WWW. K RIE GD EVAU LT. COM
Jeffrey C. McDermott
Direct Dial: (317) 238 -6228
E -mail: jmcdermott @kdlegal.com
As you know, during an appeal hearing on February 1, 2012 in Thomas and JoAnn
Trancik's (the "Tranciks ") administrative action against the City of Carmel (the "City "), Mayor
James Brainard kindly offered to conduct an informal mediation of all parties in an attempt to
resolve the pending disputes between the Tranciks, the City and our clients, Neal and Sandi
Smith and Bam Outdoor, Inc. Although our clients are not parties to the Tranciks'
administrative action with the City, my colleague Bryan Strawbridge attended the February 1,
2012 administrative hearing and agreed to have our clients participate in an informal mediation
subject to the parties agreeing to certain stipulations for that mediation.
On February 29, 2012, you sent to Judy Hester and me proposed stipulations for the
mediation. I responded to you a few days later (with a copy to Judy Hester) on March 6, 2012.
In my response, I advised you that we were requesting certain changes to your proposed
stipulations, and I included a redlined and clean version of our proposed revisions. I asked you
to let me know at your earliest convenience if these changes were acceptable to you. On April 5,
2012, Judy Hester sent an email to you and me advising that she also had two suggested changes
to your proposed stipulations which she asked to be included in order for the Board of Public
Works to sign off on the stipulations. Unfortunately, I received no response from you and, to my
knowledge, Judy Hester received no response either. Rather, on April 20, 2012, you simply sent
another letter to Judy Hester and me which was identical to your February 29, 2012 letter. It
incorporated none of the revisions which Judy and I had requested, and in fact made no mention
of them at all. Accordingly, on April 24, 2012 I sent another letter to you (with a copy to Judy
Hester) noting that Judy's and my requested revisions were not included in your April 20th
12600 NORTH MERIDIAN STREET, SUITE 300, CARMEL, IN 46032 -5406 T 317 .566.1 110 F 317.636.1507

proposed stipulations and again enclosed a copy of the changes which we required in order to
move forward with the mediation. In order to expedite matters, I also offered several dates for
you, Judy Hester and I to participate in a conference call to address the stipulations.
Unfortunately, I again did not hear from you. On May 3, 2102, Judy Hester sent you and me a
letter also expressing her concerns that the suggested changes to your proposed stipulations
which she and I had offered were being ignored. Judy reiterated that she also felt it would be
prudent to conduct a conference call to address these issues. Judy proposed three more dates for
a conference call in her letter and I promptly responded to her with dates on which I could
participate in such a call. Again, we did not hear from you.
Under the circumstances, it has become apparent to us that the Tranciks are not interested
in moving forward with the mediation which was proposed by Mayor Brainard and which he
graciously agreed to host and lead. As non - parties to the Trancik's administrative action against
the City, our clients are no longer inclined to voluntarily participate in the mediation and will
instead simply move forward with the litigation which you initiated in Hamilton Superior
Court. I regret that you and your clients have not embraced the opportunity offered by Mayor
Brainard to attempt to informally resolve this matter, but it has now been over four (4) months
since the mediation was proposed and no action is being taken by you or your clients to move it
forward. At this point we believe that too much time has been wasted and it is now in our
interest to simply proceed with the pending litigation.
