Council Auditor Kyle Billy to discuss Report:

#815 – Defined Contribution and Other Deferred Compensation Plans Audit

Mr. Billy reported that overall the pension plan contributions were correctly calculated and timely transferred and credited to the correct accounts. There were several issues identified: 1) insufficient or no controls to ensure the employees comply with IRS limits on maximum annual compensation and contributions; 2) 12 employees on military leave were not correctly credited into their defined contribution accounts for that time; 3) the list of pensionable earnings needs to be reviewed due to some inconsistencies with the pension classification; 4) roles of the various offices involved in the administration of the defined contribution plan should be better defined; 5) accuracy of the transfers from the vendor was not verified when unvested employees are terminated or switch to the defined benefit plan; 6) high fees were charged to employees in the OBRA plan causing a 0.01% return per year for the past 3 years; and 7) unvested portion of contributions were not recovered timely from terminated employees’ accounts. The administration was very cooperative during the audit and accepted the recommendations. A follow-up will be performed to ensure compliance with the recommendations.

Stephen Durden of the Office of General Counsel reported on his research into a question posed by the Finance Committee at a previous meeting regarding the authority of the Council Auditor to audit peer-to-peer rentals (Airbnb, VRBO, etc.). He finds that the Charter clearly separates the powers of the executive and legislative branches of government, so it would be improper for the Council Auditor to undertake this function which is specifically assigned to the executive branch. CFO Mike Weinstein said that the Finance and Administration Department will take on the task of auditing these rentals as authorized by the Code. Kyle Billy said that this is an acceptable solution, and the Council need take no further action.

Deputy General Counsel Peggy Sidman asked Mr. Durden to address another question posed by Jacksonville Area Legal Aid about legislation passed by the Council earlier in the year (2018-104) regarding the City’s Foreclosure Registry and the use of its fee revenues to potentially pay off mortgages. Mr. Durden said that the implication in the letter that the prohibition in the Foreclosure Registry ordinance against paying mortgages was adopted inadvertently or erroneously is incorrect. Fee revenues can only be used for specific purposes and the language was intended to provide clarity about proper uses of the revenue.

With regard to potentially moving the Finance Committee meeting of November 6th to another day because of Election Day, the committee decided to keep the meeting on Tuesday.

The City’s independent audit has been completed and will be presented to the committee on October 2^nd. Chairman Anderson urged the members to read the audit and be prepared with questions that day.

NOTE: The next regular meeting will be held Tuesday, October 2^nd, 2018.

Bill Clement, Budget Officer for the Sheriff’s Office, explained the Federal Forfeitures Trust Fund, its allowable uses, and proposed uses under this ordinance. Council Member Boyer asked about the JSO’s overall plan for the use of all their funding available for grants and restricted use funds and whether there is an overarching strategy or simply case-by-case decisions. Mr. Clement said that the Federal Forfeiture Fund is most often used for capital equipment acquisitions. 25% of the Special Law Enforcement Trust Fund must be used for crime prevention activities and is the source of grant funding to non-profits and community organizations. The Domestic Violence Trust Fund is very restrictive in its use and of most often used for employee training. The Inmate Welfare Trust Fund must be put to uses that benefit inmates. Ms. Boyer asked the JSO to examine how each of the funds can be used for prevention activities, technology acquisition, etc. with an overall strategic goal of crime prevention and reduction in mind. Undersheriff Pat Ivey explained the process by which the JSO’s division chiefs submit requests for use of all these specialized funds and the JSO administration prioritizes the uses of the funds. Ms. Boyer said that the magnitude of the use of these funds for crime prevention purposes needs to be better publicized so the general public understands what is being done and what results are being achieved.

Council Member Dennis explained the certification request and urged support for the bill. In response to a question from Council Member Boyer about whether the organization has any experience with providing low income housing, Mr. Dennis said that this will be the organization’s first foray in that field, but board members of the organization have previous experience in that area.

Ms. Boyer asked for research on the corporate entity and its officers to ensure that they are in good standing with the City (no outstanding taxes, liens, etc.). Peggy Sidman said that the state program vets the qualifications of the applicant; the City’s only responsibility is to verify compliance with the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
