Transcript Partial transcript
Machine transcription of the meeting recording. The words are the recognizer's, except where a passage is marked as corrected or machine re-recognized; most have
not been checked against the audio, so words, numbers and names can be misheard.
It describes what was said. It cannot establish who voted how, an amount or an outcome — the City's
minutes do that (above).
A time links to its passage, and “Copy link” copies that link. No recording can be started from here.
306 suspect passage(s) marked in place; inspection incomplete: language review; 1 stretch(es) where a voice was detected and no words were recognized.
How this transcript was made. New machine transcription of the whole recording, with 6 voices separated from the audio.
30 short machine repair(s) (44 word(s)) are labelled in place, with the original words beside them: an ordinary word was replaced only where two further machine readings agreed on a different one.
Checks run on this transcript: the recognizer's own warning signs and whether a voice was detected where the words are. Not completed: language review.
A second, independent machine reading was compared with it word by word: the same words for 90.7% of 12,182 content words.
Dotted words (288 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading.
306 passages (23% of the words) are marked suspect: their words are not shown ("unclear audio") and support no statement: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ; the language review questioned them; or no voice was detected there.
Agreement between two machine readings is not verification.
Inspection is incomplete: language review.
Voice detected, no words recognized (1 stretch). Something may have been said here that the transcript does not have:
01:26:23 (533 s) — neither reading has words
Speakers were separated by voice. A plain name rests on evidence tied to that voice; “provisional” is a name from an earlier text-only pass and is not verified; “Speaker N” is an unidentified voice.

If we could. Since Mitchell has some data, you know, we're going to have the valuation and as you know, we're in conjunction with the valuation, we have to receive our consultant's recommendation about the declaration of return. Our

quarter of your fiscal year. So again, it'll be tough sledding this year, but certainly longer term, we think, uh, seven and a quarter is certainly obtainable.
The first one, our quarterly report, we'll start there and then a little different. I'll hop over to, uh, this handout, which is an executive summary. Uh, so it's going to highlight a little more in depth, what's going on with the markets, how that's impacted, uh, the portfolio and, uh, some specific managers that have underperformed and, uh,
report. And so here, I just want to highlight, uh, you can see at the very top, essentially there was nowhere to hide in the markets. Everything was down for the first quarter. Uh, and that's continued, uh, into May. And so you can see the very top of page two.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:03:55–00:03:59 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
commodity index, other than that, uh, really everything has pulled back bonds, stocks, uh, growth in particular has, uh, had poor performance since December of last year. Uh,
done a little bit better, but still have not been able to mitigate, uh, losses in that as we're seeing, um, large cap value year to date down about 10%, uh, large cap growth,
if we hop over to page four, uh, to update how the plan did for the quarter. Uh, so the first bullet there, uh, we had a loss of 1.9 million, which was 4.6%, uh, slightly behind our strategic model, which is down 3.7. Uh, the reason for the underperformance I'll get into in the executive summary, but, uh, our active manager is underperforming. So, uh, large cap growth, uh, international, and then our, uh, convertible bond fund also underperforming. Uh, if we go to the next bullet for the fiscal year to date, so the first two quarters of the fiscal year, uh, we're down 318,000 or about 0.7%. Again, slightly behind the strategic model, uh, due to those active managers. And then for the quarter and the, uh, fiscal year to date period, uh, the best performer has been your private real estate. So that's really been the only positive area, uh, with the exception of global infrastructure, that's also been up. So, uh, you can see those first two bullets, private real estate up, uh, uh, the combination of our

Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:05:45–00:05:47 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
again, just slightly trailing the strategic model because some of the underperformance of the active managers, uh, if we go out longer term, uh, down towards the bottom third from the bottom for the past five years, uh,
And that ranks in the top 35th percentile of, of other public pension funds. Uh, last bullet there, uh, we did raise some money, uh, 60,000 from fidelity 500 index fund and 60,000 from the Vanguard intermediate term bond fund in March. Uh, that's well, it's a small amount.
has questions, we can jump into the executive summary and that'll kind of highlights, uh, a little more in depth what's going on in the markets. And then some of those, uh, funds like voy a large cap growth and American funds Europe Pacific that have underperformed, um, any questions on the performance report. All right. So we'll hop over, uh, the page 2 of the executive summary. Uh, so I hope this instills a little bit of, uh, or alleviates a little bit of the worry, uh, going on the market. So this is going back to 1980 and on an annual basis, uh, we've averaged about a pullback of 14% in the market every single year. Uh, that's currently where we're at. Uh, the market's been down as much as a little over 19% year to date. Uh, we've, uh, rebounded about 6% from the bottom.
just highlighting one of the major factors impacting the market has obviously been the, uh, conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Uh, historically when we've had geopolitical events, uh, they certainly spooked the market, uh, the first day they're announced. And then if they're prolonged, uh, we can see draw downs
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:08:33–00:08:35 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
Uh, but historically, uh, once those are resolved and should we get any sort of resolution between Russia and Ukraine, we should see a significant recovery in the market. So historically, the average recovery period from a pullback due to a geopolitical event is about 43 days. Uh, but that's a little skewed by some of the, uh, uh, former, uh, geopolitical events back when technology and news didn't travel as fast as they do now. So if you look at, uh, when North Korea invaded South Korea and Pearl Harbor, uh, those recoveries were significantly longer. But again, they didn't have the expedited news that we have today. So any kind of conflict resolution could be a huge catalyst to the markets going forward should have a big impact on inflation. Uh, from a commodity standpoint, from oil standpoint, as well as food,
Russia and Ukraine both have significant impacts on the wheat market. And so any kind of resolution there should help with the recovery and rebound markets pretty, pretty quickly, uh, from that point. Uh, the next page again, touching on inflation, which I just highlighted. Uh, we have seen hopefully a top in inflation. So, uh, this shows through March, we did just get an update for April, uh, that
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:09:54–00:10:00 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
Those have been down for, uh, the past three months. Um, new vehicles slightly up, uh, oil was gas was actually down in March. I'd expect that to be back up in April.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 00:10:33–00:10:38 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
get back into the world, uh, our consumption exceeded our production. And so we still haven't caught up to, uh, consumption as of 2022. Uh, the expectation is that we will by the end of the year. Uh, but you can see in the bottom left-hand corner, uh, we're still slowly, steadily increasing the rig, the active rig count in the U.S.
now. Uh, we had nearly 2000 rigs active, uh, as of right now, we're still under the 800, uh, number. So, uh, there's not a huge incentive for oil companies to put more rigs online, uh, just because of some of the regulations and blowback that they've gotten, uh, from the clean energy, um, pushed by this administration. Uh, they're already hitting record profits, so it's, they don't need additional record profits. And so it's been a slower process than we'd like to see. But hopefully if we continue to get more active rigs online and any sort of resolution between Russian and Ukraine, that'll help, um, bring more supply on the market and bring the cost down. Um, any questions there? And then page six, um, because we're in this inflationary environment, the only option the Fed has had to combat it is to raise interest rates. And so what that does is it tightens credit, uh, suppresses demand a little bit and helps fight inflation.
chart shows, uh, the black line there, uh, where interest rates on treasuries going from three months to 30 year treasuries, uh, as of the end of last year. And you can see above that, that blue line, that's where we're at as of the end of April. And so across the board, we've seen,

Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:12:35–00:12:40 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
in that 7 to 8% range. They're going to keep raising interest rates until, uh, we see inflation get back closer to 4%, which is, uh, in that historical average range.
uh, again, this just highlights, uh, past rate hike cycles that the Fed has, uh, undergone. Uh, there's been 6, uh, the current one that we're in is, uh, most closely, um, related to in terms of how

Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 00:13:41–00:13:48 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
that quite a bit, but, uh, that's really going to be a big catalyst for not only reducing inflation. But hopefully boosting markets going forward. Uh, and then we can hop over to, I'll skip over the next two pages that just kind of touches on the tough environment we've seen in fixed income. Uh, but if we flip over to page 11, we'll get into some of the manager analysis. So the first one
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:14:11–00:14:13 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
And to start with, uh, we'll highlight that, uh, large cap in general has just been a tough market for active managers, especially growth to outperform. Uh, you can see here, this is just a highlight of, uh.
how often the index is outperformed, uh, more than 50% of active managers. And so as of December 31st, 2021, you can see about 75% of active managers underperform the benchmark in the large cap growth space. Uh,

times earnings. Uh, that's actually come down to about 17 times earnings. And so these high flying high valuation stocks have really pulled back, uh, since the end of March. Uh, Tesla is down about 30% and the video is down about 40% on a year to date basis. And so while those were huge winners in 2021, a lot of active managers didn't hold them, uh, and lost out in 2021. They're benefiting now as they've rolled over in 2022. And so, uh, we actually saw for the first quarter, uh, Voy a large cap growth
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:15:51–00:15:51 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
the benchmark, uh, the Russell 1000 growth, uh, for the first quarter. Uh, they're trailing, uh, for the second quarter to date. Uh, but hoping they can outperform, especially in a volatile market. And so if you go to page 14, uh, this kind of highlights where they're at. So, uh, they're underweight tech, uh, which is a good position to be in right now
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:16:11–00:16:11 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
also didn't have any weightings to meta platforms, which is Facebook or Home Depot, which is really sold off, uh, in the current environment. So Facebook sold off
to, uh, how ads are able to be tracked within their, uh, apps provided on their iOS, uh, store. And so, uh, the estimate has been that that's going to cost Facebook anywhere from eight to $10 billion in revenue on an annual basis. So, uh, Facebook sold off based on that news. Fortunately, boy,
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:17:01–00:17:01 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
Uh, there's an expectation that the housing market may slow down and people spend less to renovate their homes to sell them. So, uh, Home Depot has sold off in the recent months based on ‸ that. Um, so we did see a positive, um, outperformance for
We'll see how they hold up the second quarter. Uh, but as of right now, we'd like to, uh, keep our investment there. And then over the next quarter or so, uh, it may be a good opportunity to reduce some exposure there and add a index fund allocation. So typically when markets soar, which we would expect any kind of positive news to cause markets to rebound significantly, the index outperforms. And so, uh, while we, we're still seeing volatility right now, we think that the active manager will be a benefit. But as we see a recovery start to happen and markets rebound, uh, that's when we'd start to, we'd like to start rebalancing into an index fund.
little bit away from Voya and into a Russell 1000 growth index fund. And so I'll bring that likely next meeting I'll bring you that option. It's very low cost. It covers,

So what she's referring to is Voya announced that they're actually, uh, buying, um, Allianz GI's U.S. business. So, uh, their distribution for mutual funds and their investment team. So it's not going to have
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:19:10–00:19:13 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
It's not going to change any of the, uh, investment managers or analyst on this product. Um, it's just going to add to the depth of their research teams and, uh, add some other diversifying, uh, funds outside of us, uh, equities that Allianz, uh, provide. So, uh, no issues there. We don't have any issues with it. We got the same,
And so we reviewed it Burgess and I, and we don't have any issues with it. Um. Yeah. And if we go to, uh, if you flip over to page, uh, 18, the last thing I'll touch on for Voya again, the recommendation to add an index option in the next coming quarter, uh, is related to just how well the index has done and how hard it's been to outperform by active managers. So on page 18, you'll see at the very bottom, the Russell 1000 growth index. If you look at the quarter, the one year, two year, three year,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:20:06–00:20:08 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
year periods, they've essentially been a top 25%, uh, percentile or better performer versus active managers. So if you look at the going back 10 years, they've ranked them the top 11th percentile as just the index fund, uh, versus active manager. So it's outperformed nearly 90% of active managers. So, uh, while we'd still like to have a piece of active management in large cap growth, uh, we think on a recovery, the index is probably going to outperform active managers. And so it would be an opportunity time to rebalance into that. So, uh, ‸ we'll look at next quarter or the quarter after, uh, diversifying a little bit away from Voya and into the index fund. Uh,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 00:20:50–00:20:54 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
small cap value. Uh, we've already made some moves there. So historically, we only had an allocation to small cap value. Uh, we moved half that allocation over to small cap ‸ growth.

standpoint. Uh, they anticipated that, uh, coming out of the pandemic, a lot of businesses that had high capex exposure and would benefit from more consumer spending. Uh, we're going to do well.
areas like, um, that tend to be a little more volatile. So on the energy side, oil, uh, exploration and production, um, as well as, uh, materials companies, specifically those related to, uh, commodities and metals.

historically, if you go to the next page, page 20, when we look at their rolling five year numbers, whenever the market's been flat to down, they've historically outperformed. Uh, this quarter was, uh, one of the exceptions, uh, page 21. They underperformed for the quarter, uh, but again, longer term, their 15 year number and since inception, they've outperformed the benchmark. Uh, if you go to page. Uh, 22. You'll see again, most of these down periods they've outperformed. Uh, they've held up better than their
little outside the norms. Uh, and then if we flip over to page 23, uh, just to highlight again, if you go all the way to the far right longer term, uh,
the 15 years. And since inception, uh, so we think this is a one off for the quarter. Uh, and so we'd expect them to rebound. Um, we'll continue monitoring them, but, uh, no recommendation to make a ‸ change there, uh, right now.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:23:50–00:23:54 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
American funds Europe Pacific, your international manager. Uh, so. We've actually gotten a few questions from, uh, from other boards about why are we even invested in international? It's been quite, uh, some time, uh, since international

From evaluation standpoint, international has actually never looked more attractive. Uh, you can see here, especially compared to the U. S. Uh, even considering the pullback we've seen in the past few months, international is still, uh, still. Severely undervalued compared to the U. S. And compared to its long-term averages. So, uh, there's quite a bit of value there. Um, the best example of that would be Boeing and Airbus. There's only two companies in the world that manufacture airplanes. It's those two. Uh, Boeing is, uh, domiciled here in the U. S. Airbus is domiciled internationally. There's a huge discount to Airbus compared to Boeing simply because it's domiciled in an international market. So there's plenty of examples.
that's discounted relative to its, uh, U. S. Peers. Uh, so we do think there's some opportunities there. Uh, so we're not recommending reducing it, uh, any more exposure to international. We think that 10% range is, uh, is a good area to be in right now. Um, and
again, it's just been an unfavorable environment for growth. Uh, if you look at the bottom of this page, uh, where it. What hurt itself was its sector allocation. So it was underweight to financials, uh, which hurt financials energy, uh, were two of, uh, three sectors that were positive for the quarter. So it was underweight financials and where it had exposure to financials was within European banks, uh, that suffered because of their exposure to, uh, Russian to Russia. So, uh, not only was it underweight to a sector that did well, where it did have exposure, it was to a poor performing part of that sector. So that hurt the performance. And then they also had an overweight to tech, which again, sold off, um, for the quarter and
in their portfolio, uh, specifically two names that hurt them. The, the biggest detractor from their portfolio, uh, was Shopify. Uh, that's a Canadian e-commerce company. They provide a lot of the, uh, uh, website and, uh, online data for, um, retailers. And so the expectation, uh, this quarter was that as the world gets back to a more normal shoppers return to stores and stuff and do less shopping online that that would their, uh, company would suffer. And so they sold off by about 51% for the quarter. Um, historically for the past five years,
And so, uh, while it's been a big winner for Euro Pacific, uh, for the past five years, it hurt them, uh, this year, uh, specifically for the, for the past quarter. So again, that caused some of the underperformance for them, the longer term. If you go to the last page, the very back page 30,
longer term, we certainly don't have an issue with American funds here Pacific. Uh, we think that they're going to rebound and recover from this. Uh, if you look at their five, 10, 15, 20 year, uh, rankings and returns, they've always outperformed the benchmark and
So, uh, again, we don't have any issues with them. Uh, it's certainly a tough quarter, uh, and tough past 12 months, but we think they can rebound and benefit from some of this volatility that they're seeing right now. And so, uh, one other thing I'll mention about them, they did have,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 00:28:40–00:28:45 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
uh, simply because the Russian markets haven't been trading, so they can't get a fair value on them. Uh, if the Russian markets open back up, we'd likely see some sort of valuation there. So ‸ some of this performance, uh, may be overdone just because they're simply taking the
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:29:01–00:29:05 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
be valued at zero. So we should see a little bit of a pop from, from that, but, uh, just wanted to kind of highlight that for you and give you an update on their exposure to Russia. So, um, uh, with that, I'll conclude my report.
Yeah. Yeah. And I appreciate that. Thank you. They, uh, they assigned us another meeting for a, uh, Miami FOP, uh, asked us to present, to provide them some investment advice. And so unfortunately they bumped it up to two from three. Uh, so I'm a little handcuffed with that, but, um, uh,
Yeah. Again, um, are there any questions or anything? And I think. The, uh, the other recommendation, uh, one last recommendation I'll have is I would like to raise some cash, um, for this quarter, um, in anticipation of rebalancing.
our intermediate term bond funds to the Vanguard intermediate term bond fund and Vanguard intermediate term, uh, investment grade bond fund. And another 300,000 from, uh, Westwood large cap value. We're slightly overweight, uh, large cap value right now. Um, and so I'd like to take a little bit. Off the table there.

Because we know we're not going to, I can't say we don't know, but if you ask me of that money, I find a way to borrow money and say we're not going to get seven and a quarter this year. Okay. These plans are just not going to happen. But that's fine. And I'm going to, when I finish up my presentation of this report in like two minutes, I'll show you why, you know, a one year event is not an issue. So when we come back next year, I don't expect a big change in that 16.42 because of smoothing. Last year's return, that 21 plus was about 14 percentage points above what we expected. So you can actually pay an actual negative return this year, probably

So the city's going to have to figure out some dollar estimate. I can do that here, because looking at payroll, and I'm going to say about $550,000 to $600,000 or so. For comparison,
So I do think that this year's requirement is going to be less than last year's requirement. The only other note on this page is near the bottom. It's for the city's purpose.

Yes. My guess is they're probably going to overestimate a little bit, which is a good thing. It's better to have a little extra rather than asking for more to catch up.
Sometimes I get questions, yes. So aside from what I've covered so far on this page, I've gone over the funding requirements and why they went up and the favorable experience that caused it to go up less than it would have. Do you have any other questions on this page before I jump over to a couple of others? So far so good? All right. If you jump over to page 8, we've already alluded to it.

As you noted, I had asked Mitchell to talk about the declaration of returns. This is our statutory requirement that in conjunction with your acceptance of the valuation, we declare the expected returns for the next year, over the next several years, and the long term thereafter. The consultant has confirmed that the 7.25% while we may not reach it right now is still a reasonable assumption.

decision, but I've done a lot of this strategy stuff, but with the attorney, I think that's significant to mention, that this plan, which has been so critically managed, and you have made changes, correctly come on, Doug, in the assumptions that have actually reduced the city's cost over the years,
Yeah, and you've adopted assumptions, right, Doug? I mean, I'm correct in that, that we've done that, but there have been some things that they've done that have actually reduced the city's cost.

and they have a built-in cohort, you know, and so I think those kind of things need to be included in anything of how prudently managed, how well funded,
You know, I think we have a good basis and $132,000 in the great scheme is really, I don't know what percentage, you know, I'm not good at math that is of the total cost, but in the technical terms, it ain't much. Right.
so, but I guess the thing would be for the attorney if that's a reasonable approach for the attorney's office to prepare, you know, a letter of approach to the city.
I don't know if that's something, you know, I guess because of retention, they're allowing it up to eight years now, so I don't know how that would, if that's something we need to look at as well.
you know, that they want to retain some of the senior talent. because you know with drop, most ordinances are written that when you're at the end of the drop participation, period, you have to leave employment, You have to leave the city. ‸ And a lot of cities are like, oh, well, we want to keep these people, Is there a way to do that? Well, I think that happened around the state, which is why FRS increased the participation period, So it made it easy for other cities to do the same thing since most of the time, actuaries have the opinion that that does not have an additional cost.

Well, if what you want to do is to, you know, ask the attorney to prepare, you know, and the way we've done this is, you know, like a letter from the city manager, outlining what we're, you know, requesting, ‸ and if it's a voice to say, you know, to include those
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:59:27–00:59:28 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
and to increase the drop participation period to eight years. Now, on that, does that affect the people who are currently involved, or is it only prospective,
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:59:48–00:59:48 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
people who are currently there. So if you're, like, you're four in the drop and you're going to have to leave at six, now you get to stay to eight. So, requesting an extension of the drop I think would be intended, unless you tell me otherwise, I would think it'd be intended to apply to your current group of drop participants. Now, that one, on that issue, because it would be applying to people who are still in the bargaining unit,
It does not have, because it doesn't have an actuarial impact, arguably, it is not a mandatory subject for collective bargaining. There's actually a case that involved
where the city reduced its contribution to the pension plan in light of an actuarial valuation, and the union filed an unfair labor practice saying, well, wait a minute, you're cutting the amount of money you're putting in our pension, and the court ultimately held that because it didn't have an actuarial impact on the system, ‸ the city wasn't required to bargain of whether it had to put in more money than it needed to. So there is that precedent that's out there. The only complaint I've ever heard with regard to extensions of drop is if somebody's waiting for the person who's coming to the end of drop
that more senior worker. So in an abundance of caution, I would recommend that the union be asked to waive bargaining over that subject in return for the extension of the drop, which quite frankly is a significant benefit to plan members. The one thing I've covered in my old age

lucky, you get old. And so all of our members that will be fortunate enough to make it to drop eligibility, the ability to shelter an additional three years of your pension benefit will be a tremendous economic advantage.
to recommending that current retirees receive a 13th check until they reach COLA eligibility. Because that addresses people who are currently not active employees, there is no obligation to bargain. Now the question is whether or not you want this to apply to future workers when they get to that spot. With regard to that group, meaning people who are currently employed but not yet retired, ‸ would have the right to bargain over that if it chose. Again, if it waives bargaining over because ‸ it's a gimme, I mean it's a new benefit, then I think that would probably be an advisable course of action for them. But there's clearly a distinction between people who are currently retired and people who are working.

That, you know, whatever that crop of people is, that's who this benefit would be limited to. If it's intended to look forward in the future to people who are currently retired, ‸ there
really be quite an estimate on that. The actuary would be working with well, the average age at time of retirement is X, and we assume that a certain number go out at one age and a certain number of people go out at a later age, he really, he, despite his significant skills that I have great respect for, would be much more in the guessing category than he is knowing what his current crop of people is for whom this 132,000 is just, it's just a defined sum of money that would be set aside.

year, they get a bump. They get ‸ their first 13th check, and then every year until they hit 64, they get it. They hit 65, they get the COLA. The 13th check goes away.
That's what I thought we had said, ‸ that it would be a benefit for those currently retired, like Casey, not yet 65, and drops because they're retirees, and future.
Oh, in looking at your letter, you anticipated your $132,000 cost looks, is forward-looking, not just to the currently known eligible group, but to what we expect will be a future eligible group going forward. Yes. Okay.
that raises the question to me, too, then, since it is prospective for current people who might retire, does that then, I understand we could still ask for a waiver of bargaining since it would be a benefit that's no cost to the members, but we probably would have to approach the end,

So my recommendation would be if we could have representation from our the board's attorney and also the actuary sure to get up and speak in front of council. Because I think that's helpful ‸ in uh given the council, um feeling better about the situation, you know hearing from those folks.

Correct. that was That was my, that's the only thing that happened in the legislature, well, a lot happened in the legislature. But it was the only thing that happened in the legislature that bears directly on this fund. Interestingly enough, they did pass a statute which requires better record keeping for firefighters about their pre-entry physical uh ‸ status. And it requires that those records be kept for five years after retirement. um They did not pass a similar requirement for police officers that I am aware of, because this amendment was made to Chapter 633 Florida Statutes, which is the fire certification statute. I think it, that the purpose behind that piece of legislation was related large to the fire ‸ cancer presumption bill that was adopted a couple of years ago. And that is still being litigated as to whether that was intended to be retroactive. Did you have to have a uh physical that said you were cancer free at the time of hire in the same way that, um that for our police officers, they had to have a clean EKG uh at the time of hire uh in order to get the heart bill presumption if, you know, they were unfortunate enough to become disabled

a typical case legislatively. Whenever... The one thing that turns over faster than people changing their socks in the legislature is staff, particularly in bill writing, um which is the equivalent of company punishment in the Army. uh And, and so they turn staff over there very quickly. And one of the problems in bill drafting, not just in
um Somebody who gets assigned to draft a bill doesn't bother to look and see what anybody else did before them. And so you end up with inconsistencies such as
being kept for five years post retirement So um I understand why they'd want the extra testing on the way in the door. The language about saving it, in my opinion, is superfluous. But I think, again, what motivated it is a lot of retired firefighters made a claim for cancer and tried to relate it back to their employment. And and thus far, a couple of circuit courts have said the bill's retroactive uh
The next item, I have my report there. I would mention to you, uh your financial disclosure forms. I don't know if you receive them in the mail. or usually um uh ‸ But I did send an email copy to you just in case you don't get it. And I just remind you, when you complete it, you can turn it in to the city clerk. ‸ she mails it to the supervisor of elections and keeps acoffee here as well. So they're due July 1st. You know I'll be badgering you. So I know you'll take care of it. And I do want to mention, uh

uh He said I have several beneficiary forms uh because he's been here so long. And we, uh during the course of talking about that, it's a very good suggestion. I want to send out the pension beneficiary form. Thatthat is for the pension. So even a member who's been here two years,

designations. It would eliminate a beneficiary designation for a 457 for any kind of life insurance policy that you might have. So if members have have gotten a divorce, gotten remarried, um had a child, uh that that they really need to pay close attention to keeping their beneficiary forms up to date. We've had a number of circumstances where people have died, and there was no beneficiary eligible. And then it so was, what benefit there was, was payable to the members of state. And then all the relatives started fighting over it and earned up most of the benefit in legal fees. And I know, it's the lawyers never lose. But

You may want to update that, but that that's a good suggestion, because people just forget. You know, you know we've had we put it in our summary plan description. We always tell them, you know, and half the time when somebody lets me know, they're already halfway down the road on the divorce, and the attorney wants to know, because there are specific issues about public pension plans in divorce, and we have documents that we send. So, yes, I'll send you that,
And I know the city makes efforts, you know, too. And what happens is people just sort of disregard this, because they just don't think of it. So I'll ask you and, uh well, just you and Bobay, ‸ current members, but to urge the people to do it. uh And I'll get that to you, too, uh to review, uh
