Mountain, Fayetteville, Arkansas. PRESENT: Marion Doss, Pete Reagan, Retirees Richard Baird and Darrell Judy, Mayor Fred Hanna, City Clerk Sherry Thomas, Administrative Services Director Ben Mayes, and City Treasurer Glyndon Bunton. ABSENT: Danny Farrar CALL TO ORDER Mayor Hanna called the meeting to order. OLD BUSINESS PROXY AND MERRILL LYNCH CONTRACT Baird asked what the proxy was that was discussed at the last meeting. Doss stated it was a document sent to the Pension Board to vote for one of the people on the board of the money manager company. These proxies have customarily been given to Merrill Lynch to handle, and this one was sent to Richard Yada. Baird asked about the contract with Merrill Lynch. Doss stated Yada has not yet supplied a copy to the Pension Board. Baird, seconded by Judy, made a motion to write Merrill Lynch requesting a copy of the contract. In addition, the letter should request the representative from Merrill Lynch attend the next regularly scheduled Fire Pension Board meeting and explain the investment position as well as the fiduciary responsibility of the board. The motion passed by a unanimous vote. ROY SKELTON Marion Doss explained to the Mayor that the Pension Board had asked Mr. Skelton to take another doctors examination because he has retired from the Fire Department on a line of duty disability basis receiving 65% of his base salary. Mr. Skelton chose to sue rather than take the examination because he did not feel he should have to take one since he worked over 20 years. The attorneys in the case have filed their briefs, and we are now in the waiting stage. City Clerk Thomas stated Arvle King had called and would be mailing the results of his medical examination. February 25, 1993 MINUTES Doss, seconded by Baird, made a motion to approve the minutes of the January 28, 1993 Pension Board meeting. The motion passed unanimously PENSION LIST Thomas reported there were two changes to the Pension List because of the deaths of Letha Brown and Gladys Cole. Baird asked if the pensioners withdrew from the fund at least the amount they paid in. Mayor Hanna asked if there was a system to check this for each of the pensioners. Baird stated if the Mayor's statement was a motion, he would second the motion for some type of procedure. He expressed his concern that the Pension Board could get into some real predicaments if the retiring firemen left an ex-wife and a current wife, a combination of natural children, step -children, and or/adoptive children, etc. Mayor Hanna stated the Board could ask City Attorney Jerry Rose about these questions for the next meeting. Mayor Hanna asked that there be a standard type agenda prepared for these meetings. City Treasurer Glyndon Bunton asked if these types of questions had been addressed by any other board. Mayor Hanna stated the state statutes probably cover these types of situations. Thomas stated she would draft a memo to the City Attorney asking him to research these beneficiary questions. Bunton asked how long a fire fighter had to work before he was fully vested. Doss stated 20 years. Thomas stated the family of Gladys Cole had returned her check. However, since it is only for $45, Thomas asked if the Pension Board wanted to return the entire check to her estate. Doss, seconded by Judy, made a motion to approve the pension list with the above changes and return Mrs. Cole's check to her estate. The motion passed by a unanimous vote. • • OTHER BUSINESS February 25, 1993 RELIEF PORTION OF THE PENSION FUND Richard Baird asked what the "relief" portion of the Firemen's Pension and Relief Fund covers. He stated he had nothing in his records defining this. He stated 5 of the full time retirees are receiving under $500 per month pension, and there are 8 part-time retirees or their beneficiaries receiving less than $50 per month. He asked under the "relief" portion of the fund, could the minimums for these two categories be raised. Mayor Hanna stated those are small amounts for volunteers. He feels the City Attorney should be asked about the Board's liability to these people. Baird stated this would increase the pension amount paid out monthly by $631. Ben Mayes stated the pension fund had to be actuarially sound before an increase can be given. Baird stated that may be true, but he would like the City Attorney to look into this. Mayor Hanna stated this could leave the door open for the people who did not get a raise to complain. Pete Reagan stated before increases could be given, the pension fund would have to pay for a special actuary report. The Pension Board had previously stated at the time of the last increase that everyone would get an increase the next time increases were given. He stated the Pension Board did not guarantee active firefighters a raise. Some retirees are now drawing 100% of what they retired at. He would like to go on record opposing any increase at this time. Baird stated every time a current fire fighter gets a raise in salary, he automatically gets an increase in the amount of pension he will be receiving. Reagan stated those people were paying in 3% of their salaries, and the current fire fighters pay 6% of their salaries to the pension fund. The City is matching the fire fighters contributions. The Pension Board is trying to "build the pot" to be able to give another increase later on. Doss stated he felt the "relief" portion of the fund was to be used as a temporary measure for specific reasons. He agreed there needed to be some research on this. 411 Baird stated he would just like to know what the rules are. February 25, 1993 PENSION AFFIDAVITS Thomas stated she had received all of the pension affidavits returned except for Dwayne McChristian and Madge Murphy. She needs the Fire Pension Board's permission to send a letter withholding the pension checks from these people until they file their forms. Reagan, seconded by Doss, made a motion such a motion. The motion passed by a unanimous vote. PENSION BOARD ELECTION Reagan stated there was a retiree and an active fire fighter position coming up for election in May on the Fire Pension Board. Thomas stated she would pull last year's file and put together a letter for the retirees. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 11:56 a.m. • • • ROXBURY CAPITAL MANAGEMLNI First Quarter Letter To Clients The Changing of the Guard Continues The dominant theme of the first quarter of 1993 was the market's continued shift away from the consumer and health care stocks which performed so well over the last decade. Consumer giants, including companies such as RJR Nabisco, Philip Morris and Proctor & Gamble no longer are able to raise prices to manufacture earnings. Generic cigarettes and food products are gaining market share and putting downward pressure on branded consumer product prices. Healthcare stocks, which started to decline in early 1992, also have product pricing concerns. Many highly profitable drugs are coming off patent, new blockbuster drugs are hard to find, and the cost-conscious consumer is buying more generic drugs In addition, the unknowns of Clinton's healthcare plan, including the possibility of price controls, mean these industries cannot be analyzed with confidence. Unable to quantify healthcare growth rates or cash flows, investors are opting to stay away until these questions are answered. During 1992, we cut back on our holdings of consumer and drug companies. In the first quarter of 1993, we continued to sell consumer nondurable, traditional growth stocks. Colgate, Gillette, Proctor and Gamble, Philip Morris and RJR Nabisco* were among the names that were excellent performers during the recession, but have become a risk in the current environment and were sold. In the quarter we sold most of our holdings of U.S. healthcare companies as well as ADR's of international healthcare leaders including Ciba Geigy, Roche and Sandoz. Keep in mind, however, that these are very good companies and we will consider buying them back if they fall to bargain prices. Other companies and industries have emerged as leaders. The common denominator of the new leaders is that they are healthy companies with rising profitability. Most are making corporate -wide "re-engineering" efforts to become globally competitive by lowering costs and producing more with fewer workers. The leaders have gained an advantage over competitors who have been slow to respond. Many banks and insurance companies have cost reduction and consolidation programs, as evidenced by the many takeovers of smaller banks by large bank holding companies. Indeed, selected banks and insurance companies are in the best financial condition that we have seen in many years, a big change from three years ago. Telecommunication companies, once providing a relatively secure work environment, have changed. Pacific Telesis now has only half the employees of 20 years ago, yet its business has grown significantly. • Philip Morris and RJR Nabisco were sold before they nanbled in price on April 3rd. 100 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 600 Santa Monica, California 90401 310 / 917-5600 FAX 310 / 917-2850 r First Quarter Letter To Clients May 4, 1993 Page 2 Certain railroads, after years of struggle, have won major concessions from labor and are emerging as more profitable, lower cost carriers poised for significant earnings gains as the economy recovers. We feel company -wide restructurmg is a revolution that has just begun and have invested in companies which should benefit from efforts to lower production costs and increase market share in a slow growth environment. New portfolio holdings include some high quality insurance stocks, such as American International Group and General Relnsurance, as well as leading regional and money center banks like Bank of America and Citicorp. Improved loan portfolios, market share gains, earnings improvement through acquisitions, and the elimination of redundant operations offer continuing potential for earnings increases and share pnces. Eastman Kodak and Allied Signal are undervalued companies that have committed to reduce costs, restructure operations and make key management changes. In addition we have purchased two excellent, undervalued railroad stocks; Norfolk Southern and Burlington Northern. Although some of the names in our portfolios have changed, our adherence to our disciplines has not. We remain invested in quality companies with predictable, above average growth in earnings and cash flow, with share prices that we believe are undervalued. First Quarter Performance Review Our response to the market and the resulting portfolio changes were reflected in our performance numbers. Roxbury's first quarter performance fell between the results of "Growth" and "Value" style investors. This might be expected from an approach that incorporates elements of both "Growth" and "Value" investing without, we believe, assuming the risks of either extreme. Leading growth managers were down about 6% in the first quarter and suffered even more dunng April. Leading value managers like John Neff were up about 8% in the quarter. The S&P 500 was up 4.8%. Roxbury was up in the first quarter but lagged the S&P 500. These relative performances are a reversal of 1991 when growth managers were up 40-60%, and value managers were up only 20-30%. During 1991, Roxbury was also in-between, up 46%. We report these comparisons not as an apology for recent results but rather because "investment style" is a determinant of performance and because some markets favor one style over another. Roxbury's results have pretty consistently fallen between the extremes, steadier than "pure" growth or "pure" value managers due to our eclectic philosophy. r First Quarter Letter To Clients May 4, 1993 Page 3 Our long term objective is an absolute return of 15% per year and a relative return that is above the market We take a long tern 3-5 year view of each investment but have learned that these changing times may require us to be more active, either taking profits or selling stocks that trigger our sell disciplines with weak fundamentals. Market Forecast Our fearless forecast is for more of the same for a while; no real upward market surge and always the possibility of a decline until the painfully slow economic recovery, and the improved productivity of America's re -engineered companies manifests itself in earmngs per share growth, as we believe it will over time. A primary near term concem is the Clinton administration which seems to be confused, scattered, and blocked by the Republican filibuster strategy of Bob Dole. It is beginning to look like another four years of gridlock in Washington. Considering the cost of some of Clinton's new programs, that might not be all bad. Like previous Presidents, he may be • tempted to build his domestic stature by a military fling overseas. Longer term, stocks should continue to provide better returns than most other investment alternatives. American industry is more productive than ever and is better able to compete internationally. The dollar is relatively low compared to other currencies. Many industries, particularly the ones we are investing in, don't need a strong economy to grow profits. Re- engineered companies are building their financial strength which will improve the outlook for the economy and the equity markets over the long run. The missing ingredient is jobs. Where will all of those ex -IBM, GM, defense industry, and bank employees go to find work? When job creation begins, the economy and the market will really soar. • F A Y E T T E V S L L E CITY ATTORNEY DEPARTMENT Jerry 1. AWE Lamle D. M tirty Clarice Deffslote.J-Pe..z n 37S-8st, DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE • TO: THRU: FROM: DATE: Fireman's Pension & Relief Fund Board of Trustees Sherry Thomas Jerry E. Rose, City Attorney March 18, 1993 rk RE: Questions from Fire Pension Board Thank you for your memo of March 15, 1993 in which you ask the following questions: 1) Would you please look into the issue of beneficiaries of a fire fighter and/or retiree? In other words, if a fire fighter dies and leaves an ex-wife, a current wife, and/or children, step- children, adoptive children, etc., to whom does the Fire Pension Fund pay the pension? Do the state statutes cover these situations? 2) In what situations and when is the "relief" portion of the Firemen's Pension and Relief Fund supposed to be used. The Pension Board asked for your definition of this portion of the fund. The beneficiaries of a deceased active or retired member are set forth in A.C.A.§24-11-820. Generally, the benefits go to a surviving spouse or children under age 19. No benefits are authorized to divorced spouses or step -children. Adopted children under 19 years of age appear to be valid beneficiaries. If any spouse or child shall marry the benefits cease. In answer to the second question, I can find no definition of the term "relief" in the Firemen's Relief & Pension Fund Act. I believe it is safe to assume that the word "relief" confers no powers or duties beyond those specifically set forth in the Act. In reviewing the minutes of the board's February 25th meeting. The board was apparently concerned about using the "relief" power to J • Page 2 March 18, 1993 • • increase pensions. I would urge you to grant only such increases as are specifically allowed under the Act and that all increases be actuarially sound. If I may provide you with any further information you have only to ask. I will attempt to attend your March 25th board meeting to answer any questions. JER/cbp FAYETTEVI LLE • CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE.

THOMAS, CITY CLERK • • February 25, 1993 Mr. Richard Yada Merrill Lynch 425 W. Capitol Suite 200 Little Rock, AR 72201 Dear Mr. Yada: The Fire Pension Board met today and requested you attend the next regularly scheduled Fire Pension Board meeting which is scheduled for the last Thursday of the month, which will be March 25, 1993, at 11:00 a.m. in Room 326 of the City Administration Building. Please provide the Board with a copy of the contract between the Pension Board and Merrill Lynch. In addition to explaining the investment position, the Board is requesting you explain the fiduciary responsibility as per the contract. Sincerely, i dor Sherry L. Thomas City Clerk cc: Fire Pension Board members 113 WEST MOUNTAIN 72701 501 575-11525 • • TO: Mr. Richard Baird FROM: John Lewis and Bob E. Hall RE: Pension Plan - City of Fayetteville Firemen DATE: 3/25/93 Dear Richard: We have reviewed the various investment reports and actuary's reports, and would like to submit the following items for your Board to at least consider: (1) Trustees: Currently you have individual trustees responsible, as fiduciaries, for several million dollars of retirement funds for retirees and active employees. I is our_�ee g that you consider having a bank as corporate trusted in place of individuals. You could still use a retirement committee to review the trustees reports, actuary's reports, contributions, etc., and, thus, keep the individual member participants informed as to the management and progress of the plan. The trustee would assume the fiduciary responsibility}: (a) Provide 1/4 reports; (b) Provides reports as to contribution made and contribution receivables. (c) Provide information as to rates of return and recommendations; and (d) Account for all assets, and all incoming and outgoing funds. The City has a corporate trustee for the plan for their salaried and hourly employees and we urge your Board to at least consider this suggestion. (2). Diversification: On plans of this size, it is sometimes helpful to divide the investment management function up and have 2 or 3 or even 4 investment managers. Then, at the end of two years the two lowest performers drop out; and two years later the best performer is given all responsibility. Please Note: There should be only one corporate trustee, but the investment portion is the part the trustee can divide up - if this seems like a good idea. • • Mr. Richard Baird Page 2 (3) Reports: You should receive 1/4 reports that not only show investment results and list of assets, but contributions and outflows summarized. A corporate trustee can provide this and even the auditor can audit the funds every year or two. (4) Contract: You mentioned that no one can find a contract with Merrill Lynch. The corporate trustee can help get the roles defined as to who is to do what and when, which is for the benefit of the retirees, active participants, your Board and the City. Please let us know anytime that we may •e of assistance. Lewis 12.ikd Bob E.
