Bill
Summary Fact Sheet Council Member Redman proposed an amendment to change the
length of the agreement term to 6 years, which died for lack of a
second. Council Member Boyer proposed
two amendments regarding the ultimate sunset date for the agreement and
providing additional detail on the method for calculating the actual rate of
return on DROP funds that are not taken as a lump sum. The committee debated the likelihood that
inserting a 3-year time limit on the agreement in place of the
currently-proposed 10 years would cause the Police and Fire Pension Fund
board to reject the amended agreement and discussed the importance of
reaching an agreement with the PFPF sooner rather than later in order to keep
the current UAAL deficit from growing even larger with each passing month
under the existing plan. Several members pointed out that adopting this bill
does not truly reform the pension system and begin the cost savings until a
dedicated funding source is approved via other legislation. AMEND/(2)APPROVE
3-4 (Failed - Lumb, Redman, Jones,
Joost opposed) 1.

the sunset date of 4/30/15 2.

Bill Summary Council Member Bishop explained the purpose of the bill.
Deputy Managing General Counsel Peggy Sidman reported that the General
Counsel is in the process of preparing a binding legal opinion on the
legality of external signs on Sports Complex buildings. Assistant General
Counsel Paige Johnston clarified that the bill as drafted prohibits external
signage on the Veteran’s Memorial Arena and the Baseball Grounds. Questions
were posed about whether the existing signs on the Arena would be considered
“grandfathered” and allowed to remain or would have to be immediately removed
if the General Counsel’s opinion determines that SMG did have the authority
to enter into the current sponsorship agreement that produced the signs. AMEND/APPROVE 6
