could perform this analysis since they already have the data and requested the Board <br />feedback on this matter. <br /> <br />Chairman Reedy commented that from fiduciary standpoint the Board has an obligation to <br />respect the <br />City Council. <br /> <br />Ms. Krawzik commented that fiduciary responsibility is owed to the plan members and retirees <br />and the Board is required to plan to fully fund the plan as a goal. How they go about getting to <br />fully funded status is something the Board can recommend while being cognizant of budget and <br />affordability. An actuarial study to determine costing at different increased funding levels over <br />time could be a worthwhile tool for City Council discussion, but she would strongly advise <br />against saying that they want anything less than what the actuary recommends or the goal of <br />fully funding the plan. <br /> <br />City Manager Rose stated that he believes City Council wants a recommendation from him as to <br /> for them to review would be beneficial. <br /> <br />Member McCarthy mentioned the ever-increasing liability if we continue to fund at 80% due to <br />new employees entering the plan and new retirements and how we will continue to fund the plan <br />especially the police and fire plan which is further behind than the non-uniformed plan.

Chairman Reedy stated <br />that the pension fund should not absorb the cost of the requested analysis. <br /> <br />Treasurer Tina commented that due to the timing of the budget and receiving the actuary <br />reports, the budgeted amounts for contributions were less than the recommended <br />contributionsabout $50,000 for non-uniformed and a lot for police and fire. Member McCarthy <br />commented that police and fire was short about $700,000 because the tax financing is being <br />used but no City <br /> He stressed the <br /> <br /> <br />
