New Business: Procedure for Notification of the Death of a Pensioner: Sondra Smith: There is a memo in your packet from Denise Grizzle in accounting asking us to set up a procedure for notification of a death of a pensioner. Accounting has asked that I always supply them with a death certificate on a pensioner that has deceased. It is very difficult to get a death certificate from the family of a pensioner when there is no surviving spouse. We need to set up a procedure on notification of a death of a pensioner and what we require as proof of death. Right now I depend on Marion Doss to notify me of deceased pensioners. We need to decide if an obituary will be sufficient or if we want to purchase a certified death certificate from the State. It will take approximately six to eight weeks to get a death certificate from the State. I Marion Doss: I would be in favor of accepting a copy of a death certificate; I don't see where we need one from the State. • Firemen's Pension and Relief Fund Meeting Minutes September 30, 2004 . Page 3 of 4 Sondra Smith: The problem with that is if there is no spouse I don't know who the family members are to be able to contact them to get a copy of the death certificate. Family members are not listed on the affidavit unless they are dependents. Kit Williams: I would think any reasonable evidence that the City Clerk believes is creditable would be okay. I wouldn't limit it. I would say an obituary notice in the paper is pretty strong evidence. Marion Doss: I would say a copy of the obituary and then if there is a funeral home listed we can contact the funeral home. Kit Williams: It is always nice to get a death certificate if we can but we shouldn't put that as an absolute requirement. Sondra Smith: I have called a funeral home in the past and they are not allowed to give any information out. Pete Reagan: They can't. Mayor Coody: If we see an obituary and quit paying them and they are still alive we will hear from them. • Sondra Smith: I would assume an obituary would be sufficient. Marion Doss: If you will accept that then I am willing to. Sondra Smith: I don't have a problem with the obituary it is accounting that has requested a death certificate. Kit Williams: We would like to get you one Marsha but sometimes we might not be able to. Marsha Farthing: Thanks fine. Pete Reagan: I can see where we should make an attempt. Sondra Smith: If there is a widow and they want the benefit there is no problem in getting a death certificate, it is the ones that do not have a surviving spouse. Kit Williams: Or, if the widow dies. Sondra Smith: I would like a motion so I will have it in the minutes for accounting. Kit Williams: I think it should be any evidence that you find creditable. A death certificate is desired but not required. • Firemen's Pension and Relief Fund Meeting Minutes September 30, 2004 Page 4 of 4 • Marion Doss moved to accept any evidence that the City Clerk finds creditable as proof of death.

In order for a benefit increase to be granted several components must be met. Those components are: A) the annual employer contribution must equal or exceed the actuarially computed employer rate and, B) sufficient fund assets must exist to cover 100% of liabilities for active member contributions and current retired lives plus 100% of liabilities for service rendered by active members OR C) the funded percentage test must be at least 97%. These provisions are detailed in PRB Board Rule 94. The enclosed benefit increase valuation letter dated August 13, 2004 shows the proposed benefit increase of a $ 100.00 base benefit for widows may be implemented and still permit the fund to remain actuarially sound. Therefore, I certify this benefit increase may be granted. My decision is subject to review by the Arkansas Fire and Police Pension Review Board. The next meeting is scheduled for December 15, 2004 at 9:30 a.m. in Little Rock. However, this letter serves as authorization for your fund to implement this increase effective with the date of your resolution September 30, 2004. Respectfully, David B.
