COMMUNICATIONS AND PETITIONS

Pension Valuation and Investment Results Presentations:

Joseph Carlson, Town Treasurer, briefly commented on his role investing the Town’s pension fund assets. Mr. Carlson, who is also Chair of the town’s Retirement Board, stated that the pension fund has been structured with an allocation of 65% invested in equities and 35% invested in fixed income. Following the advice of the actuary, Mr. Carlson suggested that the town move the Retirement Board’s assumed discount rate from 8 ¼ % to 8%. He was followed by: Thomas Dawidowicz, Vice President and Consulting Actuary at The Segal Company, who discussed the calculation of the pension contribution for the upcoming budget. Mr. Dawidowicz stressed the importance of a study to update the various assumptions on which the projected pension costs are based. The study is estimated to cost approximately $30,000 to $35,000.

There were three areas of concern that the Town Council brought to Mr. Dawidowicz’s attention and asked for clarification: (1) details on the liability increase of $607,000 and how to avoid this type of increase in the future; it was suggested that the annual increase or decrease be based on a multi-year trend rather than an experience over twelve months; and (2) in reviewing the mortality tables, should the population in such tables more closely match the town employee and retiree characteristics.

Next, John O’Connor, President of 3D Asset Management, Inc., presented the returns on the equity side of the Town’s portfolio. Although the returns for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012 were flat, the market values are up significantly since that time. Anthony Tranghese, Principal and Senior Consultant of Fiduciary Investment Advisors addressed the returns on the fixed income side of the Town’s portfolio, which have out performed expected returns.

Refunding Bond Sale

Michael Walsh, Finance Director, announced the sale of $12,230,000 General Obligation bonds. This sale allowed the town to save $1,000,282 in interest costs without extending the term of the new bonds beyond that of the old bonds. Mr. Walsh also stated that the town’s bond rating remains at AA2 as rated by Moody’s Investor Service of New York. Additionally, Mr. Walsh indicated that the investor service applies more scrutiny to each transaction – a marked difference from previous sales. He believes this is the result of lessons learned from the 2008-2009 economic downturn.
