He expressed his opinion this was important for retention and recruiting. Mr. Palmquist advised the figures would be much larger if the COLA started sooner than five years, and that dividing by two would give the amount for 50/50 contribution. Mr. Palmquist indicated the trend was tha# employees were staying with their jobs longer. Mr. Palmquist advised that people underestimated how long they were going to live and did not understand the term "life expentancy" (if 22 years that was not the end-half the people would die before that and half after). Mr. Palmquist was requested to cost one and three year delays before receiving COLA benefits. 8. Cost of annual actuarial reports as requested by the Board at their August 7, 2007 meeting Mr. Palmquist advised if the reports were done annually, trends could be identified earlier and boards seemed to get better educated regarding the liability side of the plans. This plan was relatively small and new, and it was not mandatory to be done every year. MOTION: Secretary Hansen moved to keep the actuarial evaluation report on a biannual basis. Board Member Couzzo seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous 4-0 vote. VI1. CONSENT AGENDA Secretary Hansen commented he believed the items listed for payment under item 10 were shared with Public Safety and asked how that division was figured. Response from staff was these payments were solely those incurred by the General Employees Pension. 9.
