REGULAR AGENDA R-1 Deferred Items –
A. Sugarman & Susskind demand letter Re: Amada Gonzalez – This item continued to remain deferred until the October board meeting.
R-2 New Items –
A. Pension Software Company Presentations – Representatives from the pension software companies of LRS, Nyhart, Milliman & PTG made presentations before the Board. A discussion ensued. The Board eliminated the firm of Nyhart and instructed the Administrator to make onsite visits to local municipalities that currently have the remaining finalists’ pension software installed. The Administrator was also instructed to work with the finalists’ demo software online so that he could provide the Board a ranking of the pension software companies irrespective of price.
A motion was made by Mr. Taxis duly seconded by Ms. Bernstein, and with all in favor, it was unanimously
RESOLVED that the Administrator and Assistant Administrator
make on-site visits and view online demonstrations of pension software for the firms of LRS, Milliman and Pension Technology Group in order to provide a ranking to the Board.
R-3 Administrator’s Report
The Administrator announced that Trustee Jason Casanova had been re-elected by acclamation to the Board for a term expiring on September 30, 2021. The Board congratulated Mr. Casanova.
R-4 For Your Information
Chairman Boyd and Mr. Kaufman reviewed for your information.
Chairman Boyd reviewed the email dated August 30, 2018 from Milliman regarding a de-risking strategy that would entail providing a 3rd party vendor, Nuveen, the transfer of the Plan data. He was very surprised about this matter and felt that Mr. Cottle, the fund’s consultant, should have brought this matter to the Board in person. Chairman Boyd was also adamant about the fact that he had not recommended this type of study. The Administrator was instructed to place this item on the November Board agenda for discussion. There being no further business to discuss, a motion was made by Ms. Bernstein duly seconded by Mr. Sinkes and unanimously
Resolved that the meeting be adjourned. The meeting was
adjourned at 1:41 p.m. ______________________ ___________________________ James W. Boyd, Chairman Jose Del Risco, Secretary

TO: ALL PENSION CLIENTS FROM: KLAUSNER, KAUFMAN, JENSEN & LEVINSON RE: Florida Constitution Revision Commission - Amendment 6 DATE: September 17, 2018 (updated memo) ______________________________________________________________________________
The purpose of this memo is to alert clients about the potential impact of Amendment 6, which has been placed on the November 6, 2018 general election ballot in Florida. Amendment 6 contains several unrelated proposals which have been bundled together. Because of the deceptively short title of Amendment 6, and the large number of items on the lengthy ballot, many voters may not understand that the proposal may have an adverse impact on administrative agencies, including pension boards. For this reason, we encourage clients to carefully study Amendment 6, which is summarized below.
Every twenty years the Florida Constitution Revision Commission (CRC) meets to examine and recommend updates to the Florida Constitution. After holding fifteen public hearings across the state over the past two years, the CRC has recommended eight amendments to the Florida Constitution. Each amendment would need to separately obtain 60% voter approval to be adopted.
After studying the eight proposals, our office is advising pension clients of the potential
adverse impact of Amendment 6. Our office has no opinion on the other seven proposed amendments.
Amendment 6 would add a new Section 21 into Article V of the Florida Constitution as
follows: SECTION 21. Judicial interpretation of statutes and rules.
In interpreting a state statute or rule, a state court or an officer hearing an administrative action pursuant to general law may not defer to an administrative agency’s interpretation of such statute or rule, and must instead interpret such statute or rule de novo.

Discussion of the potential negative impact of Amendment 6:
Since 1952, the Florida Supreme Court has recognized the doctrine of judicial deference.
In general, courts will defer to administrative agencies, including pension boards, due to their expertise and familiarity dealing with a particular statute, rule or ordinance. The doctrine is generally beneficial for pension boards.
As described by the CRC, Amendment 6, “requires judges and hearing officers to
independently interpret statutes and rules rather than deferring to government agency’s interpretation.” Our office is concerned that the loss of judicial deference may harm municipal pension boards.
Admittedly, Amendment 6 only directly addresses judicial deference to judicial
interpretations of state statutes. Nonetheless, several municipal plans were created by special act of the Florida Legislature. Importantly, all local public safety plans operate under Chapter 175 and 185, which are state statutes. Moreover, Amendment 6 potentially creates a precedent which will weaken judicial deference to municipal and special district boards.
The counter argument, of course, is that the weakening of the doctrine of judicial
deference will strengthen the judiciary. To the extent that clients want a more powerful judicial branch, this would be an advantage.
Rather than presenting Amendment 6 as a stand-alone amendment, the proposal is
combined with other amendments having nothing to do with judicial deference. For example, Amendment 6 also contains detailed provisions expanding victim’s rights in the criminal justice system, which are beyond the scope of this memo. Nevertheless, the CRC is presenting Amendment 6 under the seemingly innocuous title, “Rights of Crime Victims; Judges.”
A lower court judge in Leon County had held that Amendment 6 was misleading and improperly bundled unrelated proposals (a practice known as “logrolling”). In a 4-3 decision, the Florida Supreme Court reversed, placing Amendment 6 back on the November 6 ballot.
Our office is happy to answer any questions about Amendment 6. We encourage clients to carefully study Amendment 6 and look beyond the brief, five word title.
