PRESENTATIONS

And Co Consulting
Tyler Grumbles informed the Board of his daughter's birth. He explained the arrival of his daughter
has prompted the request for less travel time away from him family.
He stated Ms. Gainfort will be the fund's acting consultant going forward Mr. Grumbles assured the
Board that he has full faith in Ms. Gainfort's ability. Ms. Gainfort reviewed her education and career
history up until this point in time.
Ms. Gainfort reported the performance as of March 31, 2018. The market returns were broadly
negative across major equity and fixed income. The performance of each sector was reviewed. The
interest rates on the U.S. Treasury Yield Curve ended the quarter higher across all maturities and
growth outperformed value. The Plan is in compliance. The asset allocations were reviewed as
follows; Domestic Equity 50.9%, International Equity 16.1%, Domestic Fixed Income 18.7%, Global
Fixed Income 4.7%, total Real Estate 9.1% and Cash Equivalent 0.5%. Ms. Gainfort reported that for
quarter ending March 31, 2018 the Plan's market value was $14,139,097. She reviewed the trailing
returns for the quarter. The underperformance of Gamco was discussed and what other public sector
plans allocations are between value and growth. Ms. Gainfort explained the research team will be
meeting the firm but there is no concern at this point. The Plan was flat for the quarter and reflected in
the financial reconciliation. Ms. Gainfort reviewed and commented on individual manager
performance. She stated the managers did a good job protecting this quarter. The fiscal year to date
return was strong for the half year mark at 4.46% and was and was ahead of the benchmark. Mr.
Grumbles noted the positive start with both new growth funds, Primecap and MFS. Chairman Sabin
questioned the chart reflecting the assets allocation versus other public plans. Ms. Gainfort stated the
alternative category referred to in the chart differs from plan to plan. Mr. Grumbles reviewed the
differences of some of the types captured in the alternative classes which are then compared to plans
both of the same size and larger. There are no recommendations at this time.
Ms. Jensen recapped the special meeting earlier this month and the actuarial study for specific
scenarios regarding a group of Police Officers' that might be entering the Plan. She stated both
scenario #3 and scenario #4 would require this study to go to the State along with amending the
Village's current Ordinance. A discussion ensued on if the Plan allowed to re-enter in to the 185
money participation. Ms. Jensen reviewed the communication with the State of Florida. She
requested the Board's permission to draft an amendment to the Village's current Ordinance which is
required for both scenario#3 and scenario #4. Ms. Jensen clarified scenario#2 is only for
comparative purposes to allow one to review and transition from scenario #1 to scenario #3. Ms.
Jensen reviewed the process that will take place during the transition. She suggested having some
sort of agreement between the parties before drafting an amendment to the Ordinance.
MOTION:
Board Member Giblin made a motion to approve the report and pass along to both the
Village and Union as presented. Board Member Stone seconded the motion, which carried
by unanimous 4-0 vote.
Ms. Jensen requested the approval to respond to the parties involved as appropriately needed and
