TRUSTEES OF THr EMPLOYEES' PENSION FUND MEETING September 17, 1990 The City Commission, meeting as the Board of Trustees of the Employees Pension Fund, met in regular session at City Hall, Monday, September 17, 1990 at 9:07 A.M., with the following members present: Rita Garvey Lee Regulski William Nunamaker Richard Fitzgerald Sue Berfield Chairperson Trustee Trustee Trustee Trustee Also Present were: Ron H. Rabun Milton A. Galbraith, Jr. Cynthia E. Goudeau ITEM #2 - Minutes: City Manager City Attorney City Clerk Trustee Fitzgerald moved t~ approve the minutes of the September 4, 1990, meeting. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. ITEM #3 - Search for Additional Equity Manaqer: Total assets of the pension plan as of June 30, 1990 were $137.4 million. The investment committee has reached the consenSllS that our fund has grown sufficiently to warrant adding a third equity manager. After considerable discussion, the committee consensus was that a "value" Ol"iented manager would be the most appropriate to compliment the two existing managers. (Callan Associates defines "value" as II managers who inve~t in companies believed to be undervalued or possessing lower than average price/earnings ratios, based on their potential for capital appreciation.lI) Callan has also quoted a fee of $36,000.00 to assist the City in selecting the new manager. This fee would be paid through directed brokerage commissions. An alternative payment would be to pay $18,000.00 in cash for this service. Once the manager has been hired, Callan has proposed a fee increase for ongoing performance measurement services to $28,000.00 per year in d'irected brokerage commissions. The proposed increase from the current fee is reasonable in light of the increased workload in providing performance measurement analysis for the third manager. The intention is to requir~the new manager to abide by the same annual fee structure as the two existing managers, which is 5% for the first $25 million under management, and .375% of all assets over $25 million. This structure compares favorably with fees recently surveyed by Callan and independently by Oemarche Associates. With approximately $72 million under management, the current equity management fee is approximately $333,000.00. By adding a third manager, total fees will increase.
