NOTE: The next regular meeting will be held Monday, January 4, 2016.

At the beginning of the meeting the Chairman distributed copies of a letter received by General Counsel Jason Gabriel from attorney Hank Coxe representing Robert Klausner, the attorney for the Police and Fire Pension Fund, who was subpoenaed by the Finance Committee to appear at today’s committee meeting to discuss a series of documents requested by the committee. Mr. Coxe requested that Mr. Klausner be excused from appearing before the committee until a meeting in January. Council Auditor Kirk Sherman distributed and discussed a document compiled by his staff providing the results of a review of a sample of the documents provided to the committee by the Police and Fire Pension Fund at the last meeting. The analysis of the sample showed that the PFPF provided some, but not all, of the requested documents, and that the missing documents tended to be older (pre-1990) documents. In response to a question from Council Member Crescimbeni about the ramifications of the failure of the PFPF to provide all of the documents requested, Loree French of the General Counsel’s Office said that the Fund is not required to provide documents that do not exist, and a personal appearance by a representative of the Fund who is the custodian of the documents would allow the committee to question why some items were not provided. Chairman Gulliford said that he would invite a PFPF representative to the next meeting in January, giving the Council Auditor’s Office additional time to sort through the documents already provided and determine what requested materials are missing.

Motion (Crescimbeni): 1) the Finance Committee encourages the Council Secretary to send one set of the documents provided by the PFPF in response to the subpoena to Ted Siedle of Benchmark Financial Services, with whom the Council contracted for a forensic audit of the PFPF’s administration and investment returns; and 2) the committee directs the PFPF to send a representative to appear at the first committee meeting in January (either voluntarily or via issuance of another subpoena) to discuss the documents delivered at the last meeting – approved 7-0.

The potential impact of a new amphitheater on the operations of the Metropolitan Park amphitheater and the Veterans Memorial Arena was discussed.

	Bill Summary Fact Sheet Deputy General Counsel Peggy Sidman explained that the bill is being proposed in an abundance of caution to ratify a previous action taken during the budget adoption vote. Council Member Boyer suggested an amendment to “redline” the chief positions so that when they are vacated by the incumbent chiefs, the positions would revert to their previous rank (primarily lieutenants). Council Member Crescimbeni suggested the need for separate legislation to amend the Ordinance Code to prohibit the Mayor and Sheriff from unilaterally creating new management positions in the Fire and Rescue Department and Sheriff’s Office without Council approval.
