Board meetings and strategic plans from San Jose Fire Department
Key discussions during the meeting included a staff proposal to change the quorum requirement for future meetings from four people to three. Informational items covered verbal updates on the VEBA Plans Revenue Reimbursement Report for July 2022 to July 2023 and the review of the Reconciliation Summary for April 1, 2023, to June 30, 2023. The committee also received updates on the transition of VEBA Plan implementation and administration from TASC to Voya. Under discussion and action items, the committee reconsidered and accepted several items from the June 30, 2023, meeting due to an improperly counted vote, including the election of officers and the approval of a fiduciary liability insurance policy. Further actions included accepting the Fourth Quarter Financials for FY 2022-23, accepting the Performance Report and Watch List for April 1, 2023, to June 30, 2023, and accepting the updated Investment Policy for 2023. Finally, the committee authorized a one-time expense of $500 for customizing new Voya VEBA debit cards.
The committee meeting included staff updates, which covered reminders for members to complete Form 700 and an update on investment changes made by VEBA participants following a recent mailing. Informational items presented by Voya included year-to-date fund performance summaries, a verbal update on the VEBA Plans Revenue Reimbursement Report (October 2019 to January 2020), a review of reconciliation summaries and trust statements for October 1, 2019, to December 31, 2019, and communication regarding the annual fixed account crediting rate for 2020. Hyas Group presented a performance report for October 1, 2019, through December 31, 2019. Action items included the acceptance of the VEBA Plans Second Quarter Financials for FY 2019-20. The committee opted to defer discussion on the administrative fee structure and default investment fund until the June meeting due to market fluctuations. The Fiscal Year 2020-21 Operating Budget and Exhibits were approved, with direction to explore an incremental pay back option for the General Fund loan. The committee also approved a recommendation to execute a consultant agreement with Hyas Group and accepted the Fiscal Year 2020-21 Annual Work Plan. Elections for the Chair and Vice-Chair were deferred to the June meeting.
The key discussion items involved reviewing and deciding on the draft Rules of Order regarding the commencement date for the Chair and Vice-Chair terms, which was ultimately kept set for April 1, 2019, rejecting an update to begin in February. The committee also deferred the election of the Chair and Vice-Chair to the March meeting. Furthermore, the committee authorized the City Manager's Office to sign required documents related to the Tax Determination Letter, with the contingency that the final documents be shared with the committee members beforehand. During the Open Forum, concerns regarding fees and the existing agreement with TASC and VOYA were raised, with staff directed to place this item on the March agenda for discussion.
