MOTION was made by Ken Bailes, and seconded by Richard Johnson to approve the minutes of September 19, 2012. MOTION CARRIED 6-0.

OLD BUSINESS: Revised Parking Enforcement Letter Carol Himes informed the Board that their suggestion of adding payment information and the mailing and on-line payment addresses was now on the Boot and Tow Warning letter. The total revenue information, breaking out different types of citations (e.g., meters, etc.), and the division between CRA and General Fund would be e-mailed to the Board Members. Without objection, the Board gave the floor to Ken Bailes to discuss the Chair’s speaking at the City Council Workshop. Words and opinions were shared. After discussion and without objection, the Board decided to hear the Pension Task Force agenda item next under New Business. NEW BUSINESS: Pension Task Force Linda Davidson informed the Board that City Council requested that the City Manager develop a Resolution for a Pension Review Task Force. The members of this task force would have to meet certain requirements. Their findings would be presented to both the Financial Advisory Board and the Police and Firefighters’ Pension Board by June 1,

Financial Advisory Board 10/17/2012 Page 2

2012. If that deadline would need to be expanded, the City Manager could grant another ninety days. If a longer deadline would be needed, the City Council would decide. The City Manager would appoint the five members through an application process. The Resolution would be on the City Council Agenda for the October 23, 2012 meeting. Two members, Patrick Bless and Richard Johnson, expressed interest in serving on the Task Force. Andy Vissicchio asked that this Pension Review Task Force look at the FAB Task Force’s reports for historical review. As there were members of the public present, the Chair was asked when he would like them to speak as there was no special place on the agenda. Without objection the meeting was opened for public comment. Mr. Wardle declined. Mr. Luca said he was here tonight as the President of the Firefighters’ Union and commented on Mr. Ehrnst’s speech at the City Council meeting. He expressed concerned about a political angle and did not want to jeopardize the good relationship the firefighters have with the City and the City Manager. Mr. Johnson said this was a systemic problem not unique to Boca Raton. Mr. Abrams said that you cannot just look at a static moment in time and to remember that Boca Raton still maintained its AAA rating. Mr. Ehrnst said that this subject would be with the Pension Review Task Force now and the FAB would have its opportunity for an opinion when the findings were presented. For future FAB meetings, Mr. Ehrnst said he would like a better understanding of revenues and expenses (e.g., where they are coming from and where they are going). He would like to know how the forthcoming GASB accounting changes would impact us. Andy Vissicchio thanked Mr. Luca for recognizing that there was a problem and that the union was willing to work with the City. He was proud that the fire department won a national competition in New York.

Review and Confirmation of Future FAB Agenda and Dates/Times of Meeting Ms. Davidson explained how some agenda items were listed in months that the agenda item could not be fully reviewed. After discussions, some agenda items were moved and others were added. With the GASB 67-68 Review, Mr. Ehrnst requested a copy of Moody’s last detailed report and review of pensions. He also wanted a Public Comment section added to the FAB agenda. Ms. Ferrara would like a presentation on FAU’s growth and projects. Ms. Davidson would report back regarding a presenter. Mr. Johnson would like the agenda and all its attachments to be e-mailed about one week before the meeting instead of the day before the meeting. If the attachments were very thick, he would like it mailed rather than having to print it. Ms. Davidson would have a new monthly agenda topic list e-mailed to the Board and the City Clerks’ office with the understanding that more agenda items could be added or removed in the future. The location of the December 17, 2012 meeting was tentatively changed to the Police and Firefighter Training Facility. Any 4:30PM meeting start time listed was changed back to 5:00PM meeting start time. Without objection, the dates, the locations (including the December 17, 2012 new location), and the 5:00PM meeting start times were approved by the Board. Mr. Johnson had questions regarding the Board’s Charter in the packet from the Code of Ordinances (DIVISION 7. Financial Advisory Board). It stated that the Board should select a Secretary. Since elections were held for Chair and Vice Chair at last month’s meeting, it was decided without objection that election of a Secretary could be done

Financial Advisory Board 10/17/2012 Page 3

tonight. The floor was opened for nominations for Secretary. There being no nominations, the nominations were closed and resulted in no selection of a Board Secretary. The Board wanted to change and modernize their Charter and Linda Davidson said she would report back as to the process.
