Bill
Summary Council Member Boyer explained that
her intent is to create a benefit package for new hires only in a bill that
does not deal with PFPF governance, finance, or benefit levels for current
employees. She intends this bill to comply with the Florida Supreme Court’s
ruling in the Scott v. Williams decision regarding
changes to the Florida Retirement System benefit while collective bargaining
is ongoing. Some committee members questioned the City’s ability to
unilaterally adopt a benefits package without collective bargaining. General
Counsel Jason Gabriel stated that the bill acts as a An amendment by Council Member Boyer
to provide that the bill would only become effective if 2015-304 failed to
become fully effective and implemented was approved. AMEND(2)/APPROVE

Summary Police and Fire Pension Fund
Administrator John Keane recommended that the bill be amended to utilize the
GASB Rule 67 standard for calculating investment expenses; the Council
Auditor’s Office recommends the use of a money-weighted return on investment calculation.
Chief Assistant General Counsel
Stephen Durden answered questions from the committee about the structure of
the benefit package and the mechanism for accelerating pay-down of the
accrued unfunded liability. The committee asked Mr. Keane about the PFPF’s use
of the “chapter” funds and the potential for their use as an additional
contribution toward the pay-down of the UAAL. The group discussed the merits
of an extended pay-down period over a number of years versus issuance of
bonds to provide the means to make an immediate net present value
contribution. A motion by Council Member Joost to
calculate the net present value of the City UAAL contribution from the
Gulliford proposal and bond that amount immediately for contribution failed
2-5. A motion by Council Member Boyer to
leave $5 million in the pension stabilization account as a buffer was
approved 7-0. A motion by Council Member Jones to
provide that the employee contribution required of police officers would not
be increased until their 3% pay reduction was restored died for lack of a
second. Council Members Boyer and
Schellenberg expressed opposition to the bill on the grounds that the recent
court ruling on the Sunshine Law violation of the so-called “30 year
agreement” invalidates that agreement and frees the City to engage in direct
collective bargaining with the police and fire unions, which they believe is
the proper path forward. AMEND(3)/APPROVE
5-2 (Schellenberg, Boyer) 1.
Utilize the money-weighted rate of return for calculating account earnings
for backdrop members and drop members with less than 20 years of service. 2.
Utilize revised schedule of UAAL payments by City and PFPI 3.
2 Amendment to bill and a third may be proposed. |
