the founder of I Talk to Strangers Foundation. I have a small presentation. Sure. So I Talk to Strangers was founded here in Cocoa, Florida in 2012, and since then we have fundraised over $150,000 that has been dedicated towards projects, events, and programs worldwide. Here are several of our partners that we've worked with. Across six countries, we work with an international team to promote diversity among our community. As a former executive director of I Talk to Strangers Foundation and also as an event specialist and event coordinator with

There's a lot of areas within Brevard County, as somebody who grew up here, that could use a lot of love. So that's our method, using conversation as I Talk to Strangers Foundation to start the conversations that lead to community impact. So within schools, our proposed Peacekeepers Program will be implemented within high schools to teach I Talk to Strangers at a youth level to allow students the ability to get to know each other and not fear them. With our localized events that we've implemented both in Malaysia and Canada, Toronto, Canada more specifically, we would like to bring these events here that show more community togetherness on Tuesday nights. And our slogan is, What else are you doing on a Tuesday night? So come Tuesday Talk. So with continued initiatives, and currently

sometimes I might forget that at the end, for their hard work in putting together this financial statement. It is a very large document and the numbers tie all back and forth and it takes a lot of time to ‸ get it right, basically, and we spend a lot of time as a team making sure that that's correct. Again, I want to really make a brief presentation to you and a couple highlights.

is in the very far right right-hand side, you'll see there's level, L1, L2. You don't have L3. What that is doing is putting your investments in various buckets. So an L1 investment is an investment that is readily tradable, easy to determine market value.

come up with the value, but it's not tradable every day. So they have mechanisms that they come up with that. And level 3 would be investments like a partnership or something like that that's super hard to value. ‸ You don't have any level 3 investments and you'll see the city's investments on page 67 and

So there is a lot of information in this financial statement, but that is a change this year due to implementation of the new standard. The other thing I wanted to talk to you about is on page 117. and ‸ that's pensions because it is something ‸ that a lot of people are talking about and so I want to just show you some highlights and not get you too much into the weeds. But if you look at page 117, this is your pension liability and the fiduciary net position, which is basically your assets that are in the plan. And ‸ on page 117 is your general employee's pension plan. The number to focus on is the ‸ percentage that is third from the bottom there, plan fiduciary net position as a percent of the total pension liability.

funded And you have two different funding mechanisms. You have one that the actuary tells you that it's called pay as you go and you fund whatever the contributions are for the year based on your salary. But then the actuary also calculates the liability that you have to pay over the entire period of time right once everybody retires and everything.

that we've certainly had that for the last few years, that liability kind of continues to grow. So your general employee's liability is at 71.5% from

That is actually the pension reform that you all did. so that reduced your liability by almost a million dollars by the pension reform that you did that took place in 2015

what was mandated by the state And that's in 2016. The change of assumptions went up a million dollars. So by changing the by doing the pension reform in 2015 that ‸ offset the state mandated changes that that came about So that was a an offset So that was something that you know the city manager was looking at So that was good that that was offset. If you look at the firefighters pension plan, the same kind of thing happened there a million dollars was pension reform and about a 1.1 was what was mandated by the state

On the firefighters ‸ plan you can see that it went from 65.7% in 2014 to 67% in 2015 and down to 65.9% in 2016. So the hope again is that these plans, the investment return and everything starts to pick up and that it gets more funded. If you read out there what is the proper funding percentage, it's all over the board. There's some people that will tell you

So it does fluctuate. If you read you know they'll say in the corporate world and everything 80 to 90% ‸ is a good place to be funded and anything below 60% you should start to get concerned with. You do have your benefits that you have in place and you kind of have those and that's what you have to deal with. So best case I guess would be the market continuing to to show us some benefits there. But again that is a statement last year that liability got booked in your government wide statements. You don't see this when you look to your budget to actual statements because this liability doesn't get booked on budget to actual because it is again a large liability that is into the future and only ‸ gets booked on the full accrual basis. But if anybody's talking with you if you're at a meeting with other council members and they're talking about their liability at least you'll know where to flip and say I know what ours is. Okay on page 199 is our report on internal control and compliance with laws and regulations. and that is a clean opinion. We had no findings. On page 201 we did have to do a single audit this year because you received over 750,000 of federal grant funds. so that means that we go test in great detail the compliance with all of the federal requirements and

So during ‸ the audit, we found that And so we did write up a recommendation for improvement in that area but that was the only comment that we had. And then on page 209 is our management letter. We had a comment last year that dealt with the trial balance, and that comment was corrected this year. Obviously we like to see that because when we write something we hope people are paying attention. And then we had a very minor comment

that the coding for the firefighters pension plan is being looked at in the census information. It didn't affect any numbers or anything, which is why we put it back here. It's really not that significant. But an area for improvement. So again the audit went really well this year. We, you know it's not unusual to have some comments. but again the comment we had from the prior year was cleared and we hope it's a benefit to the city to know that we've gone through and audited all this. and we did you know find a couple minor things and we've documented those And we will look for those next year to make sure that it's improvement. And again these are not things that are what we mentioned in our findings are rare things.

know,
I guess the best quote of the of the our trip up there was, we can attribute to Senator Latvala. You know, after one representative talked about their bill about pre-empting local government authority, Senator Latvala gets up and says that's why God created the Florida Senate to make sure bad bills like that don't pass. To a rousing applause of all the municipal elected and appointed officials in the room.

Great job. Chair?
Yeah I just want to say that first of all thank you for allowing me to make that trip to Tallahassee. For me this was a an experience that I never would have been able to participate in otherwise and it truly is a unique experience, and if anyone out there in the audience or listening ever has an opportunity to go up there and just watch a session, it is an eye-opener. So and what John is saying about the home rule which is in my in my opinion, under attack, and, you know, the voters did vote that in back in 1968, and, you know, their ‸ intent is to take that away from the municipalities and, you know, give ‸ the power to, you know, the elected officials other than other than the ‸ municipalities that that you as the
