This shareholder who is also a City of Lansing full-time employee indicated to myself that the Board had some questions regarding what K.B. Equipment and Service is all about. K.B. equipment and Service is a Michigan Corporation established approximately two years ago. This firm is the marketing arm for manufacturers who are involved in the manufacturing of police and fire related equipment/products . This firm has marketing agreements with Federal Signal Corporation, Sage International Corporation, Majik Graphics , and B.E. Meyers , Inc. . These corporations through its many distributors have sold products to the City of Lansing. K.B. Equipment and Service sales staff call on end users . The staff informs the end user of the product mix being offered by the manufacturers this firm represents . If the customer/end user is interested in any of these products , this information is then given to the local distributor. The local distributor will then do the necessary follow-up calls . At no time does K.B. equipment and Service set pricing or sell directly to the end user. All sales are done through the established independent distributor network. This firm does receive a marketing fee for our services . This fee will vary depending on the total sales in our area of responsibility. This fee goes directly to K.B. Equipment and Service, not to Mr. Knechtel . Being Mr. Knechtel is a shareholder, he could receive some financial benefit, however, this will depend on the actions of the Board of Directors . 12613 Universal Dr., Taylor, MI 48180 • PH.

Slade - Clerk City Clerk's Office 9th Floor - City Hall Lansing, Michigan 48923 Re: Custom Ordered Police Supplies, Inc. Disclosure Statement of Mr. Knechtel Dear Mrs. M. Slade - Clerk; This firm has been informed by one of our shareholders that he must file an Affidavit of Disclosure of a possible Conflict of Interest with the City of Lansing. He feels that this disclosurer should be made because of the amount of shares Mr. Knechtel has with Custom Ordered Police Supplies. Mr. Knechtel informed us that if the City of Lansing purchases products from us, he could recieve some financial benefit by way of possible dividend. We have learned that the City of Lansing Central Garage is planning on purchasing police equipment for their police fleet that can only be purchased from Custom Ordered Police Supplies, Inc. . This firm is the sole source within the State of Michigan for the AEDEC Pro-Straint Plastic Seat. The seat manufacturer will only ship this product into the State of Michigan to this firm. If the City of Lansing purchases this product, we can assure you and the Ethics Review Board that Mr. Knechtel will not receive any direct financial benefit. It is true however that Mr. Knechtel could receive some indirect benefit based on the actions of the Board of Directors. I at this time can not tell you or other board members what this indirect benefit might be. To avoid any appearence of a conflict, we have discussed this matter with Mr. Knechtel. He has informed us that he will not get involved orsit on any board or committee that writes specifications or suggest products to the City of Lansing that this firm markets and sells within the State of Michigan. Custom Ordered Police Supplies, Inc. , would like to do business with the City of Lansing. Hopefully this can take place even though one of our shareholders is a full-time City employee. With the assurances we have received from Mr. Knechtel, we feel that there will be no conflict of interest when we do business with the City. 12613 Universal Dr., Taylor, MI 48180 9 PH.

OPINION State law, specifically MCLA 15 . 322, provides as a general rule that : Sec. 2 (1 ) No public servant shall be a party, directly or indirectly, to any contract between himself and the public entity of which he is an officer or employee, except as provided in section 3. (2) No public servant shall directly or indirectly solicit any contract between the public entity of which he is an officer or employee and (a ) himself, (b) any firm (meaning a co-partnership or other unincorporated association) of which he is a partner, member or employee; (c) any private corporation in which he is a stockholder owning more than 1 % of the total outstanding stock of any class where such stock is not listed on a stock exchange or stock with a present total market value in excess of $25, 000. 00 where such stock is listed on a stock exchange or of which he is a director, officer or employee; or (d) any trust of which he is a beneficiary or trustee; no shall he take any part in the negotiations for such a contract or the renegotiation thereof or amendment thereto or in the approval thereof, nor shall he represent either party in the transaction; except as provided in section . 2 MCLA 15 . 324 provides for a statutory exception to the above-quoted general statutory prohibitions . MCLA 15. 324 provide that a company, which is the lowest qualified bidder pursuant to a sealed bid process with public notice may do business with the City even though an officer or employee of the firm is a full-time city employee. The selection and/or utilization of a company, which has as an officer or employee, a full-time city employee, by any other process is prohibited. Even if the company which has an officer or employee a full-time City employee receives a contract from the City because the company is prohibited from renegotiation the contract, making amendments to the contract or making additional payments which are not authorized by the contract to the company. Although MCLA 15. 324 provides for a statutory exception to MCLA 15. 322, the Board determined that the officer 's affidavit of disclosure and supporting testimony presented insufficient information upon which an opinion could be issued. Therefore, the Board advises the officer to provide a written description of his businesses and a detailed statement of his intent to do business with the City of Lansing. The Board further advises that the officer seek legal advice concerning his potential conflict of interest in this matter. / �.. o ` CITY OF LANSING AFFIDAVIT OF DISCLOSURE OF 1 22 CONFLICT OF INTEREST TO: CITY CLERK or [ ] CITY ATTORNEY and [ ] MAYOR and , DEPARTMENT HEAD or [ ] CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT (Name ) Mr. Donald P.

Hollister, Mayor January 12 , 1994 Chris Lyons Federal Signal Corporation 2645 Federal Signal Drive University Park, Il 60466 Dear Chris : Per our discussion of 1/12/94 , the City of Lansing will now order direct from Federal Signal as opposed to ordering from any Michigan based distributor. By ordering direct from Federal Signal, this will preclude Don Knechtel of KB Equipment, also a City of Lansing employee, from receiving any form of compensation for City of Lansing purchases. I have informed my staff to contact you for product pricing including potential trade in opportunities. If this is incorrect, please contact me with the correct information. When I receive your letter reiterating the fact that Mr. Knechtel will not receive compensation for any City of Lansing purchase, I will release the purchase order for eleven ( 11) Vector Bars . I appreciate your assistance in this matter. I believe we have eliminated a conflict of interest between the City, Federal Signal and Don Knechtel. Sincerely, v Antonia Magi tro, C.P.M.
