Roberts stated the pension fund is currently invested in 40% stocks which is the maximum the investment policy will allow. He stated he guesses that could be changed, but he does not know if that would be wise. He hates to see the fund stop making money because there is quite of bit of money to be made in today's stock market. However, that is the purpose of the investment guides. Dr. Mashburn asked if the cash with Longer was fairly high because of cashing an investment. Roberts stated there was a treasury bill that matured, and at the August 19 meeting, $300,000 had been transferred to the Longer account. • • • October 21, 1993 PENSION FUND MEMBERSHIP Roberts stated there are 17 people actively employed who are members of this pension fund.

Roberts stated the last person hired that entered this plan was 1983. That person will be eligible for retirement in 2003. That does not mean he will retire. Also, the year 2003 is the year when the fund has to be actuarially sound. He believes this plan will make it before that time.
