market value as of 9130112 is $113.7 million up from $111.3 million as of 8131112.
Henry gave an overview of performance with a comparison of PRIT and reported the
GTAA is doing well and felt the Board's strategy to make small tactical decisions have
paid off and believes growth will come from emerging markets. Mike questioned our
exposure to Latin America and dividend/stocks issued by corporations as they may be
affected depending on what happens in the election. Alan thought adding one more
diversifier to Domestic Equity Assets should be considered.
Charles Sortino's workers compensation case has been settled.
A letter was received from PERAC waiving the annual statement of earned income filing
for eight disability retirees. This is in response to a change in the law and affects those
who have been retired under a disability for more than 20 years and have not reported any
earnings for the prior 10 years.
Joseph Sveistys's PERAC re- evaluation has been completed and it was determined he
cannot come back to work.
A letter was received from PERAC informing the Board that due to excess earnings in
2009, 2010 and 2011, James Weston's disability pension benefit will be modified. James
has the right to request a hearing within 30 days. When the final notice is received from
PERAC, the pension will have to be stopped completely and there will be no further
garnishment to recoup the amount due. Noting that at the end of 2012 the over earnings
due for repayment will exceed $80,000 it was agreed to forward the matter to Attorney
Mike Sacco to handle.
PIMCO representatives will be attending the November meeting for an annual review.
