4.4 Approve pension plan administrative expenditures for fiscal year 2025 totaling Draft
Pension Trustees Meeting Minutes October 3, 2024
Page 6 City of Clearwater
not-to-exceed $369,900.00.
The Employees’ Pension Plan does not have a legally required budget.
However, all expenditures must be approved by the Trustees. The following are
routine administrative expenditures that staff is requesting approval of for
administrative efficiency.
The recommended expenditures for fiscal year 2025 reflect a $10,500, or 2.9%,
increase over the approved fiscal 2024 expenditures. This net increase results
primarily from increased costs of Finance and Human Resources
administrative staff support, partially offset by a decrease in volume of projected
employee physicals and related costs.
Training and travel are the estimated costs of pension training and related
travel, including fiduciary training for the Trustees and Pension Advisory
Committee (PAC) members. This is a not-to-exceed amount given uncertainty
regarding the number of Trustees and PAC members that may elect to pursue
training.
Expenditures for physicals are per the pension ordinance requirement that new
employees must pass a comprehensive physical exam to be accepted into the
pension plan. A decreased volume of physicals is forecast due to reduced staff
turnover and projected new hires.
Reimbursements to the General Fund and Central Insurance Fund are for the
cost of oversight and administration of the Plan. The reimbursements are for
services provided by Human Resources, Payroll, and Finance personnel, along
with related operating expenditures.
The law firm of Klausner, Kaufman, Jensen and Levinson currently represents
the Pension plan in certain matters, while the firm of Banker, Lopez, Gassler
currently advocates for City administration in formal PAC disability pension
claims. Annual attorney fees also include medical bills for medical services
authorized by the PAC.
Money manager, performance measurement consulting, custodial/safekeeping,
and actuary fees (other than actuary hourly consulting and special projects) are
all governed by contracts separately approved by the Trustees and are not
included in this agenda item total.
