INVESTMENT REPORTS
Longer Investments
Elaine Longer , Longer Investments , distributed the portfolio
appraisal and other reports .
Elaine Longer reviewed action taken in the portfolio during the
first six months of the year . She stated she started ducking
around the end of May . In the first quarter , the interest rate
environment turned more hostile . Individual stocks started
deterierating in the first part of June . The earnings release
season is not as strong as prior quarters have been . She explained
she is being conservative and is happy to be earning 6 . 25 % for now .
Longer stated things are looking good this month because the market
caught up to where we are . The market is down 6 . 50s month - to - date
and as of yesterday ' s close the Russell 2000 and the NASDAQ were
down about 12 % month to date .
Longer discussed the status of the market .
Longer stated in the combined portfolio , stocks as a total percent
are about 33 % . The portfolio value is right at $ 4 million . The
• yield on the total portfolio is 5 °s on market value and 5 . 49c; on book
value . We have been able to take advantage of what we have in the
interest rate environment to increase the income yield on the
portfolio .
Longer stated in the stock portfolio , 5096 of the portfolio is
invested in stocks and the rest is in treasuries . We have
flexibility to increase allocation to the equity market .
The bond portfolio has a high income yeild at about 6 . 8 % on market
value .
Longer stated the blue chip names are still included in the largest
holdings .
Friend asked if Philip Morris would be affected by the lawsuits
against ciggarett companies .
Longer stated it did affect Philip Morris in the first quarter .
They sold the stock off . Longer explained that the stock went down
during some class action litigation in Florida . Then an appeals
court disallowed class action status and the stock came back up .
The class action status was a big scare factor .
• 2
• July 25 , 1996 -
Longer
996Longer stated nothing much has changed in the portfolio parameters
except the percent of equity exposure . Last time small cap . stocks
represented 27 % of equities . They are down to 81 . The blue chip
stocks are now 69 % of equities . They were 40 % before . Realized
gains through June 30 are $ 124 , 603 .
Longer stated this is one of those years you just struggle to keep
everything from going negative . Equities are up about 2 % . Fixed
income , which is a bond portfolio , is at - 0 . 9 . The treasury index
is down 1 . 8 % year - to - date through June 30 . The average annual
returns are 10 . 61 in equities and 8 . 11; compounded annually overall .

value . Total portfolio is about 5 . 4 % . Weighted average maurity is
right at 4 years . Fixed income secureities maturing in three years

three weeks of July .

1 % .
The Board briefly discussed the status of several stocks managed by
Longer .
Presentation by Jim Wood , Dean Witter
Jim Wood , Dean Witter , thanked the Board for using Dean Witter .
Wood reminded the Board that Dean Witter is one of the most
consistantly profitable and conservative firms .
Wood gave an economic overview from TCW . Wood stated inflation is
one of the most important things that affects investment
performance . Inflation is running about 3 % . The long bond is
about 71 so you have a real rate of return with 30 year governments
minus inflation .
Wood stated TCW sees good oportunities in U . S . based companies in
the export business . Our economy is growing at around 2 . 596 but the
export business is growing at around 10 % . The technology area is
another area of great opportunity .
• 3
• July 25 , 1996
Wood stated everything the Board has with Dean Witter is
conservatively managed . In the past when there has been some
uncertainty and the market was down , the account has gone up after
the uncertain period was over .
Wood reminded the Board that 600 of their portfolio with Dean
Witter is in TCW .
Wood reviewed the Industrties Matrix as of May 31 , 1996 and a list
of the largest holdings as of June 30 , 1996 .
Wood stated the other 40 % of the portfolio is the fixed income
account . At the end of June , this account was worth $ 1 , 891 , 774 .
For the quarter , it was up 2 . 4 % , year - to - date it is up 4 . 9 % . This
time it was 63 . 81 stocks , 30 . 5 % bonds , and 5 . 7 % cash .
Mayor Hanna asked what the Board ' s total _holdings in Dean Witter
were .
Bradley stated as of June 30 , TCW is worth $ 1 , 891 , 000 . Bradley
asked about an ajustment for the last few weeks .
Wood stated it is probably about 2 . 5 % less than the $ 1 , 891 , 000 .
• Wood discussed the status of the account with Madison . He stated
the market value of this account as of June 30 was $ 1 , 661 , 939 .
Madison ' s number one goal is capital preservation . On June 30 ,
$ 461 , 000 of the account was in corporate bonds . The amount in
treasury notes was $ 914 , 000 . The Board has put $ 1 , 040 , 000 in
Madision and it is worth $ 1 , 661 , 000 . For the first six months of
the year , this account is down . 71 % . Wood stated the average
annual rate of return should be around 7 . 5 % to 8 . 51 since they have
been managing the account .
Administrative Services Director Ben Mayes stated we diversify
between stocks and bonds and treasury notes . Mayes asked if the
fund needs diversification between money managers .
Wood stated you do need diversification between money mangers .
From a trust committee point of view , it is wise to diversify .
Mayor Hanna stated Mike Kirkland has requested that we continue to
let him manage the Board ' s money at his new firm . The Board will
need to make the decision .
In answer to a question from Bradley , Wood stated he has been with
Dean Witter since April of 1990 .
Wood left the meeting .
• 4
• July 25 , 1996
Mayor Hanna stated Dean . Witter has about $ 3 , 835 , 000 and Elaine
Longer has about $ 3 , 998 , 000 . We gave Elaine about $ 150 , 000 a few
months ago .
Mashburn stated the Board needs to have a manager that can attend
the meetings and explain things . Mashburn pointed out that Wood ' s
report style was similar to Mike ' s report style .
Mayor Hanna stated Dean Witter uses Madison and TCW to do all the
managing . Elaine Longer does all the managing herself . Dean
Witter just reports on how Madision and TCW are doing .
Mashburn expressed his appreciation for Elaine Longer ' s
presentations .
Mayor Hanna stated the Board could have the tendancy to give all
the money to Elaine Longer . She can explain it but she is not
infallible either . It might not be a good idea to put all of the
Board ' s eggs in one basket .
Presentation by Mike Kirkland , Morgan Keegan
Mike Kirkland thanked the Board for allowing him to present his
case .
. Kirkland introduced Bob Glenn , President of Morgan Assett
Management . He is the head of the money management division at
Morgan Keegan . Kikland stated he and Mr . Glenn wanted to give the
Board a chance to see what Morgan Keegan has to offer .
Bob Glenn stated Morgan Keegan is a regional brokerage firm . It
was started in Memphis , Tennessee and has been in business for 27
years . It is one of the most well capitalized regional brokerage
firms in the south . Morgan Keegan has grown its business very
carefully . There was a market for a firm specializing on firms in
the south . The intent of Morgan Keegan is to be the preiminate
firm in the Southern United States . There are 36 offices in 13
states in the south . The two offices in Arkansas are in Little
Rock and Rogers . Morgan Keegan consultants are chosen with care .
Mogan Keegan is about service .
In discussing the Investment Management Consulting Services Group
at Morgan Keegan , Glenn stated a consultant would review your
current investment policy and put together a historical review of
the total fund performance . The historical review would be used in
quarterly presentations .
Glenn stated there is lots of experience represented in the staff
of Morgan Keegan .
• 5
• July 25 , 1996
Kirkland stated there is an item in the investment policy that we
would want to review . It is the paragraph that talks about U . S .
firms being affiliated with companies in South Africa . If it is
still enforced by Arkansas law than it should be left in the
policy . If not , it would need to be reviewed .
Glenn stated we will review your investment policy over the next
few weeks . If Morgan Keegan is retained to continue to work with
you , at the next meeting we would review the policy and make
recommendations as to potential changes .
Glenn reviewed a chart showing what various assett mixes have
provided in the past . Glenn stated this type of analysis is done
for Morgan Keegan clients .
Glenn stated Morgan Keegan does not sell investment management . We
do not sell managers . Consultants are not compensated by any of
the managers . Our data base was created by going through and
screening managers that were out there and available and who we
felt represented the characterists Morgan Keegan desires . We have
an analyst whos job it is to go out and visit managers in their
shop .
Glenn stated we have identified NWQ as a firm that the Board might
• want to consider to manage some of your assetts .
Kirkland explained he has been familiar with NWQ for over 10 years .
Kirkland stated they have been around since 1982 . They are
involved with a list of companies that the Board should be familiar
with . This management company has large cap stocks and has a great
track record . It is achieving goals that I think the Board would
like to achieve . A large cap manager ' s balance is going to be in
the 600 - 4096 range .
Glenn stated NWQ is a value manager . A value manager looks for
slow steady growers . They typically pay a dividend . They look at
the economy and general economic conditions .
Glenn stated data is available from Morgan Keegan on lots of
different managers .
Glenn reviewed charts showing that NWQ ' s performance has been
better than TCW ' s over the past three years . A five year
comparison was also discussed .
Glenn explained that one of the services available to the Board
would be a comprehensive performance review on the Police Pension
Fund . Glenn stated in general , our mission is to work with your
group on investement matters relating to your fund . Glenn reviewed
• several charts and reports as an example of the tupes of reports
6
• July 25 , 1996
that would be available to the Board .
Kirkland stated the three accounts are still at Dean Witter . If
the Board choses to continue the relationship , the cash account
would stay just the same . The Madision account would also stay the
same . TCW is the account in question . If we are retained , we
would provide the types of reports to you that you have seen today
and we would look at the investment policy .
In answer to a question from Roberts , Kirkland stated we could show
a comparision of all the managers the Board is using on one graph .
The Board could direct the other manager to provide us with a
monthly statement it could be documented as a service to the Board .
Roberts stated the fees remain the same .
Kirkland stated yes . There is no chance of them going up .
Mayes asked how would a transfer from TCW to NWQ be handled .
Kirkland stated the first thing would be to tell TCW and Dean
Witter to cease trading . We would set up accounts with Morgan
Keegan . The Board would sign transfer forms . The accounts would
come over to Morgan Keegan just as they are . TCW money would come
• into the NWQ account and the transaction would begin . There are no
taxes , commissions , or fees involved in transactions .
In answer to a question from Roberts , Kirkland stated in the
perferred manager program , MWQ ' s minimum investment is $ 100 , 000 .
Mike Kirkland and Bob Glenn left the meeting .
Mayor asked if the Board wanted some time to think about its
options .
Roberts stated yes .
Mashburn stated he would like to get more information on MWQ .
Friend expressed his feelings that enough information was given .
Mayor Hanna suggested Mashburn contact Mike directly and tell him
what he wants .
Bradley expressed his desire to make more money . He asked if the
Board should consider investing money differently than what is
currently being done .
Roberts stated it would be good to revisit the investment guidlines
because they are old .
7
r� July 25 , 1996
Mayes stated they were discussed in 1990 or 1991 . The percentages
wer not changed at that time .
The Board discussed the need to increase the amount of money in the
Police Pension fund and briefly discussed some changes that could
be made to achieve an increase :
Mayes reminded the Board that the investment policy states that
cash can be from 10a to 250 of the fund , fixed income can be from
15 % to 751 , and equities can be between 20 % and 400 . Mayes stated
we capped the equity at 40 because we were trying to make sure we
got at least a 6o increase . Equities are currently at 290 . Fixed
Income is at 560 . The Board might consider bumping equity up to
50 % .
In response to a concern of the Board , Mayes stated he would check
with the City Attorney on the South Africa question .
Mayor Hanna asked if the Board wanted to wait until the next
meeting to take action .
In answer to a question from Friend , Paul stated the next meeting
will be the third Thursday in October .
• Friend suggested the Board have a special meeting after the
insurance turnback check comes in .
Mashburn suggested that each member review the investment policy
before the next meeting .
Paul asked if the reports submitted by Mike through Morgan Keegan
were easier for the Board to understand . Paul stated she
understood them better .
The Board agreed that they were better than reports given to the
Board in the past .
The meeting adjourned at 4 : 05 p . m .

Mr. Ben Mayes
City of Fayetteville Poli
113 W Mountain
Fayetteville, AR 72701
Dear Mr. Mayes,
TCW Asset Management Company (TAMCO) will be making some modifications to the equity portion
of our Access Balanced strategy.
For over twenty years TCW has managed large-cap equity and balanced portfolios for pension plans,
endowments and individuals. Prior to entering the Access program in 1992 the TCW Equity Policy
Committee made the decision to offer a balanced portfolio through the Dean Witter Access program. Our
management style for the equity portion of these portfolios has been that of a sector rotator, specifically
we focus our investments on sectors or industry groups of the stock market that we feel will benefit from
current or future economic conditions. This will not change.
• Our investment strategy has also maintained several guidelines or constraints around sector and security
weightings. Specifically these guidelines included: 1 ) all industries with a 1 % weighting or higher
position in the S&P 500 will be represented in the portfolio; 2) no security will initially represent more
than 3% or grow to represent more than 5% of the portfolio at any time; 3) industry weightings will not
fall below 50% or exceed 200% of the S&P 500 Index weightings.
We have elected to lift these constraints in order to enhance our ability as a sector rotator by giving our
portfolio managers more flexibility to underweight, overweight or exclude a sector from the investment
portfolio. We have been managing equity portfolios without constraints for some of our institutional
clients such as: Chrysler, General-Signal, NYNEX, Lockheed-Martin, Nike, and Boeing*. This strategy
has a higher degree of concentration and has experienced more volatility over a market cycle but has also
outperformed the S&P 500 Index over 5, 10 and 15 year time periods.
We feel that these adjustments to our guidelines are in the best interest of our clients. Please consider that
these changes are being made for an investor with the following investment objectives:
- Seeks to achieve a rate of return that performs favorably to the standard market indices over a
market cycle
- Seeks a balanced portfolio diversified for potential appreciation and moderate income
- Acknowledges that the economy and the financial markets are volatile and go through cycles,
which can affect performance of their portfolio positively or negatively during any given
period.
*Inclusion on this partial list should not be considered an endorsement ofTCW's investment advisory services
t
Jim Tilton and Tom McKissick, Managing Directors, will continue to manage the TCW Access Balanced
portfolios with the same objective of constructing a diversified equity portfolio. Since we operate in the
market's most efficient sector (our portfolios hold only highly capitalized and large companies), success
requires that we be early to identify and assess the financial implications of change. We are always
searching for sectors of the stock market that will benefit from future or current economic trends.
We feel that revising our investment guidelines will enhance our results in the search for investment
value and the management of risk, which continue to be central themes of the securities research and
portfolio management effort at TCW. However, you should review your investment objectives as set
forth in your policy statement and contact your Dean Witter account executive if they have changed.
Continuing with TCW as your Balanced Access manager utilizing the modified equity strategy requires
no response. These modifications will take effect in your account October 1 , 1996. If you have any
questions, please contact your Dean Witter account executive. We appreciate your continued confidence
and look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
Robert Sant
Managing Director

D. Realization of capital gains and losses should be viewed solely in terms of
investment merits.

H . Neither TCW nor Dean Witter will take any tax related issues into consideration
in the management of the assets within the Access program.

on a complete update and review from our research staff, a decision is made
whether the stock should be added to, held or liquidated.
• N. All securities must have a minimum market capitalization of $1 .5 billion. TCW
Balanced portfolios are well diversified, with 40 to 55 securities held at
any one time. In addition, due to the capitalization requirements imposed by this
discipline, these portfolios are liquid.

Govt/Corp index, and 10% cash, over an average market cycle (3 to 5 years)
D. It is expected that total account return returns will demonstrate better performance
than the Balanced Index (described in C)over an average market cycle (3 to 5

Dear Ben:
Please find enclosed the 1996 third quarter portfolio reports for the City of Fayetteville Police
Pension Fund. These reports include a portfolio appraisal, a report of realized gains/losses, and
an income and expense report. As instructed, the Northern Trust account will be billed for the
management fee.
Also enclosed is a copy of Market News our quarterly newsletter. It discusses market activity
• year-to-date and our outlook for the fixed income and equity markets.
The spin-off of Lucent Technologies to A T & T shareholders took place as of September 30,
1996. - On the first of October, A T & T began trading at a lower price because it reflects the
value of A T & T without Lucent. For each share of A T & T owned, 0.324084 shares of Lucent
were distributed to shareholders. A T & T reports that the distribution has been ruled a tax-free
transaction by the Internal Revenue Service, however any cash received for fractional shares may
be taxable. These changes will be reflected on the year-end statements you will receive in
January.
We appreciate the opportunity to help manage the City of Fayetteville Police Pension Fund's
investments. Please feel free to call if you have any questions or comments.
Sincerely,
Elaine M. Longer, F.A.
