is what I think. And that would be the person who would monitor this, is this not right?"
Mr. Michael S. Blake, Member of the Board of Trustees: speaking as the Vice Chairman
of the Board of Trustees, on behalf of Chairman Mark Sardo of the Board of Trustees,
Mr. Blake addressed the City Commission on behalf of the Board of Trustees and
commented on previous Motions related to Reserve Funds; the RFP (Request for
Proposal); the Bogdahn Group; actions the City Commission has taken; knowledge about
the City's Investment Policy; and diversification.
Much discussion.
Commissioner Krebs asked Manager McLemore, "Do you think we should Amend the
Policy?" Manager McLemore stated, "You could - it is a perfunctory thing. It doesn't
mean anything because it is on Record as your Policy. If you want to do that, it might be
a good time to re-look at the entire Policy."
Manager McLemore then suggested, "Maybe with what has been said here tonight, we
need to look at the entire Policy again. It may be a good decision." Attorney Garganese
mentioned, "It's your Policy. You can Amend it."
Discussion.
Commissioner Brown commented for the Record that no action be taken that is in conflict
with the current Investment Policy.

COMMISSIONER MILLER ASKED, "AM I TO ASSUME FROM THE
EXPERTS IN THE ROOM THAT THESE OTHER TWO (2) ORGANIZATIONS
WILL ACCEPT THIS RESPONSIBILITY?"
MR. BLAKE SUGGESTED, "I THINK YOU SHOULD ASSUME THAT AND
THEN PUT IT ON STAFF TO MAKE IT HAPPEN."
ATTORNEY GARGANESE RECOMMENDED, "PERHAPS WE WILL -JUST
DO A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THIS IN WRITING, WHATEVER THE
DECISION IS, AFTER STAFF GOES BACK AND DETERMINES WHETHER
THE MONEY -CAN BE PLACED IN THESE THREE (3) FUNDS AND WE
WILL HAVE A RESOLUTION ON THE RECORD."
COMMISSIONER BROWN MENTIONED, "THEN WE CAN CIRCLE BACK
AND LOOK AT THE INVESTMENT POLICY STATEMENT AT A LATER
TIME -LIKE AFTER THE FIRST OF THE YEAR."
MANAGER McLEMORE NOTED, "I WOULD LIKE THE FREEDOM TO
WORK WITH BODGDAN [GROUP] TO HELP GET THESE PLACED. IT'S
JUST IMPLEMENTING THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS WHICH YOU SAID
ARE OKAY AND THEY CAN BE VERY HELPFUL IN GETTING THAT
DONE."
MAYOR BUSH SAID, "I DON'T THINK THAT THE MOTION IN ANY WAY,
RESTRICTS YOU FROM TALKING TO ANYBODY, OTHER THAN THE
THREE (3) COMPANIES."
MANAGER McLEMORE AGAIN INQUIRED, "I WANT THE FREEDOM TO
TALK WITH BOGDAHN [GROUP] TO HELP PLACE THESE THINGS WHICH
IS SIMPLY IMPLEMENTING A RECOMMENDATION THEY'VE ALREADY
MADE; WHICH THE COMMISSION BASICALLY SAID LOOKS PLAUSIBLE
TO THEM."
COMMISSIONER KREBS ASKED, "ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT FOR A
COST?" MANAGER McLEMORE RESPONDED, "THERE MAY BE SOME
MINIMAL COST."
MAYOR BUSH ASKED, "DO THE COMMISSIONERS ALL UNDERSTAND
THAT THEN, THAT THE MANAGER PROBABLY WILL TALK TO -
BOGDAHN [GROUP]?" COMMISSIONER McGINNIS STATED, "YES." NO
OBJECTIONS WERE HEARD.
