NOTE: The next regular meeting will be held Monday, October 19, 2015.

Chairman Gulliford reported that the forensic auditor hired by the City Council to analyze the Police and Fire Pension Fund (PFPF) has reported encountering difficulty in obtaining needed documents from the PFPF and suggested the need to invoke the Finance Committee’s right to issue subpoenas to compel the production of the documents. The committee discussed what the subpoena(s) should request, whether a list of specific documents or a personal appearance by the custodian of the documents, or both. Deputy General Counsel Peggy Sidman urged that the subpoena(s) be very specifically worded to ensure that the committee expresses exactly what it wants to be produced and presented and there is no opportunity for haggling over the express versus implied intent of the wording.

Motion: the Finance Committee authorizes the issuance of 3 subpoenas for persons to appear at a future Finance Committee meeting with specific requested documents or information about documents that no longer exist – one to the Police and Fire Pension Fund; one to Robert Klausner, attorney for the PFPF, and one to the Klausner law firm custodian of records for the PFPF – approved 6-0.

Ms. Sidman informed the committee that the date of the appearance of the subpoenaed persons and records before the committee will depend on when the subpoenas are prepared and served on the named parties, who are allowed at least 7 days by law to assemble the requested documents.

	Bill Summary Council Member Crescimbeni explained the intention behind the amendment and agreement extension as a means of helping the City to achieve its state-mandated solid waste recycling goals by 2020. Council Member Boyer asked about the proper venue for pursuing remediation of a recent increase in complaints about poor performance by all the waste haulers, both the private contractors and the City forces. Robert Campbell of the Council Auditor’s Office explained the mechanisms available in the triennial rate review process, the next edition of which will begin in early 2016. Attorney Gayle Petrie of the General Counsel’s Office suggested, in response to a question from Ms. Boyer, that this amendment and extension ordinance is a better vehicle for addressing service quality issues than the upcoming rate review process.

Bill Summary

READ 2ND AND REREFER

Chairman Gulliford distributed to the committee members a document prepared by the MAEVA Group, a financial consulting firm, as part of its work with the City’s former Pension Reform Task Force which analyzed the JEA’s operating efficiency. Mr. Gulliford suggested that the report shows that the JEA could operate more efficiently (as demonstrated by comparisons with similar Florida utilities) and as a result produce more revenue for allocation to the City.
