City Managers Office The June 3, 1974 meeting had been cancelled because of failure to obtain a Quorum Present: Chairman Donald L. Grimes; Darlene Westbrook, Secretary; Pat Tobin, Treasurer, Charles McWhorter, Fire Chief; and Fire Pension Board Members Larry Poage, Don Miller, Ronald McArthur, and N. D. McChristian. Absent: None Chairman Grimes called the meeting to order after which Fire Chief McWhorter introduced Don Miller and Ronald McArthur as new members of the Board. Chairman Grimes asked if any changes or additions needed to be made to the minutes of the May 6, 1974 meeting. There being no changes or additions, Chief McWhorter made a motion to approve the minutes and Don Miller seconded the motion. The motion was passedobyla unanimous vote of the Board. Larry Poage made a motion to approve the pension payment list for June and Ronald McArthur seconded the motion. There being a unanimous vote on the motion, the pension list was approved. Pat Tobin, Treasurer, reported that one Certificate of Deposit in the amount of $21,000 had matured at First Federal Savings and Loan.and that $17,000 in cash was available for investment. Mr. Tobin suggested the Board might want to invest $7,000 of the $17,000 in cash with the $21,000 matured Certifi- cate and then combine the resulting $28,000 with the City's other pension funds to build the funds to $100,000 total investment. When the interest came due on all of the pension funds, the interest would then be divided between the funds with each fund credited with the correct amount of interest. The $100,000 investment would be beneficial in that it would earn a higher rate of interest. Chief McWhorter asked if the process would be legal as he believed the invest- ments had to be made in the name of the Firemen's Pension fund. Mr. Tobin said he was not aware of any such restriction but that he would investigate the legalities. Mr. McChristian suggested action be delayed until thetJuiy meeting when other investments were due to mature and then discuss combining the fnvdstments. Mr. Tobin said the $21,000 matured investment could be left in the fund for another month and draw additional interest. Chief McWhorter then made a motion to retain the $21,000 investment for another month with the intention of possibly combining it with a $105,000 investment that will mature in July.. The motion was seconded by Mr. McChristian and was passed by a unanimous vote of the Board • FIREMEN'S PENSION MEETING June 10, 1974 Page 2 Chief McWhorter then submitted a certificate of 20 -year service for Harold Lee which all members of the Board signed.
