Fraser. The members of our armed services need the latest technology supporting them
as they protect our nation and ensure peace around the world; and
WHEREAS, there is currently discussion in Congress about continuing full funding and

planned production are not continued.

States Congress to recognize the importance of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter to Michigan,
the United States and our allies around the world by supporting full funding for the F-35

Minutes
Monday, August 29, 2011
Present: Joe Chimenti; Harry Hodgson; Nancy Ehrke; Jean Slivka (liaison); Dori Guoin (memberat-large); Linda Champion; Marilynn Wright; : Bob Buffa; Dee Laramie; Donald Coveny; & Beverly
Kucharski
Excused Absence: Betty Slominski (arrived at end of meeting)
1. Call to order at 7:00 p.m. by Marilynn.
2. Approve Agenda: Linda made the motion, seconded by Dee. The motion carried.
3. Minutes were approved on a motion by Nancy, & seconded by Don. Motion carried.
4. Liaison report: Jean was emailed about the tree & acted upon it immediately. The sign has a
$1,000 deductible on it from the insurance company. BJ thinks he can repair it. The delivery of the
wood chips was made (Betty wanted them). Jean has asked for a copier, which we may, or may
not, get. The City information has to be deleted, which is expensive to do.
5a) Bookmarks: Linda mocked up 4 on a page bookmarks, took corrections/suggestions, and will
make these changes. Both Dori & Joe said they’d take new pictures of the House as well as
pictures of the Barn & get to Linda so she can put these newer ones on the bookmark.
5b) Donations: Don said that all businesses are hurting, financially, but has sent 6 letters. He
also requested food donations, to no avail so far.
5c) Storage Area Project: Joe talked more with Bob about this project. He really had nothing
more to add to our previous discussion. The Society has money available, so if we asked it we
could build the 8 x 18 structure. We will do this project next spring.
5d) Flea Market: Bob or Joe will set up the signs. Linda will purchase the 2 dozen doughnuts,
none w/glaze, per Beverly. We have 29 sold spots. We need volunteer help to put items in the
Depot out on our tables. Jean has 4 tents (or Joe can get 2). Tents will be used for Xmas, hot
dogs, diners, & the book tent; possibly for glassware. Vince will come for 4 hours. Parks & Rec
have tents. Jean will submit a requisition for them. Joe mentioned about having a $2/bag sale
during the last hour we’re open. We will do this. Don will get the bags, but only the Barn & Book
Tents will be available for this special $2 sale. Jean will make signs stating this.
6a) October Open House: The date is October 2. Dori hired the blacksmith & rope/broom
maker. The cost for these 2 craftsmen is $30/per man for the 3 hours. They will sell their wares.
Dori will advertise & get it on Fraser’s electronic bulletin board. Linda suggested making it a Civil
War event.
6b) Elections Next Month: Since Lori Bargowski had to leave the Commission, we need a
corresponding secretary.
7. Commissioners’ Reports:
Marilynn asked Commissioners to bring their money or
unsold Dinner Show tickets to the October meeting or at the Flea Market on 9/11/11. At the last
Open House, the Barn & Museums Sales made $102.78; Gift Store, $61; & a $100 donation from
Sandy Caloia. Barb Jennings will be at the Flea Market at Noon to start relieving people for lunch
breaks.
Harry got the weed killer flyer for Betty to see.
Betty said she will have lots of
plants for sale at the Flea Market. She will have hostas planted at the Museum. David will attend
the Flea Market.
Adjourned at 8:15 p.m. on a motion from Nancy, seconded by Dee. Motion carried.
Next meeting: Monday, October 3, 2011, at 7:00 p.m.

Minutes
Monday, October 3, 2011
Present: Joe Chimenti; Harry Hodgson; Nancy Ehrke; Dori Guoin (member-at-large); Linda Champion;
Marilynn Wright; : Bob Buffa; Dee Laramie; Betty Slominski; Donald Coveny; & Beverly Kucharski
Excused Absence: Jean Slivka (liaison)
1. Call to order at 7:00 p.m. by Marilynn.
2. Approve Agenda: Linda made the motion, seconded by Don. The motion carried.
3. Minutes were tabled, to be approved at next month’s meeting, since Linda forgot to bring print copies of
them.
4. Liaison report: None.
5a) Barn Sale/Flea Market: Nancy liked the bag sale, but didn’t hear the announcement telling
about it. Joe said the way the bag sale was handled will have to be tweaked for next time, as there
were some problems. Beverly wanted to know how the popcorn sales did. Betty said if people
could have smelled it, it would have sold better. We’ll check into it for next year. The net profit
came to $1,140.97, compared to June, 2011, sales of $1,124, & September, 2010, of $1,173 (the
profit was higher in 2010 because Don was able to get the food donated, which we had to pay for it
in 9/11).
5b) Donations: Don sent letters to both Sander Levin & Carl Levin. Sander Levin responded
about federal grants. He said he would write a supportive recommendation letter once we knew
the grant for which we wanted to apply & then wrote it. New federal grants become available to
write in February, 2012. The Gates Foundation doesn’t fund organizations such as ours, just
educational ones. Don has not checked into State grants.
5c) Elections: The new or re-elected officers for the Commission are as follows: Chair, Marilynn
Wright; Joe Chimenti, Vice-Chair; Linda Champion, Recording Secretary; & Beverly Kucharski,
Corresponding Secretary. All positions were nominated, seconded, & approved by the
Commission.
6a) Dinner Show: The “Frank Sinatra” impersonator is giving Marilynn a list of other
impersonators at the Show so we can see who else we may want to hire for next year. Black
buckets will be used for the drawing tickets. The schedule for this event is as follows: 6:30, dinner;
7:30-8:15, entertainment; 8:15-8:45, prize announcements; & 8:45-9:45, entertainment. Linda will
take tickets; Don will sell 50/50 tickets near the door; Joe will count money (Linda will help if he
needs it), as well as selling tickets & being our MC; Nancy will make the gift announcements; Betty
will scotch tape the winning number on the gift & put it on the prize table; & Beverly will monitor the
prize table, checking the winner’s number against the prize s/he takes. Dee, with Marilynn, will do
the Silent Auction. Dori will help Catherine Huetter at the Chinese Auction table. Harry will count
the raffle tickets into strips of 20 & tear them, as well as counting the number of guests at each
table for which we will have to pay. Bob will help with this task for the buckets. Marilynn asked for
volunteers to wrap prizes. Nancy, Dee, Dori, & Marilynn volunteered to do this.
6b) Christmas Resale: Nancy & Dee volunteered to set this up.
6c) Duties: The following Commissioners volunteered to take on these added responsibilities:
Website Monitoring, Dori (to update it, we have to go through Jean at the Library to ask City Hall to
make our changes); Paver Brick Orders, Linda (who has been doing so since Lori Bargowski was
not reappointed); Housekeeping, No One—we will wing it.
On Wednesday, 10/19/11, Betty, Dee, Nancy & brother, John, will pack up items from the Barn
to donate to the St. John rummage sale. No Christmas items or House goods will be included in
the donation. They will meet at the property by 10-10:30 a.m. Betty said the picnic tables should
be moved closer to the Barn, which will help make it easier to do this project. Harry volunteered to
do so. The pump board is loose & needs cleaning, with the board re-nailed. Harry will take on this
task, too.
7. Commissioners’ Reports:
Marilynn reported that we made $31, Barn; $73, House, &
$8.50, Gift Shop at the Open House on 10/2/11. After Linda corrected the bookmarks, Marilynn
sent them to the printer, who said he can’t do them in color, so the 2 pictures will be in black &
white. They, along with our notepads, should be to us by 10/10. The Baumgartner sign is covered
by the City’s insurance, with a $1,000 deductible. The sign will cost $1,900, so $900 of that will be
paid for by us. Master Gardener Kurt Kleinert made a donation of $100 & Vania Apps, $100, &
then another $50 in honor of Betty & Al Slominski’s 50th wedding anniversary. We donated 2
dozen doughnuts to the DPW for a yearly thank-you for their help, we bought 2 mum plants from
the Fraser First Booster Club (Nancy will plant them), & the Library took items from us for its
November White Elephant Sale.
Joe talked about Lori Bargowski’s reappointment to the
th
Commission. We need to fill that 11 position, & Lori has reapplied. A letter was drafted by the
Commission asking the Mayor & City Council to reappoint her. After Joe read the letter, it was
sent around the table for the Commissioners to sign.
Dee apologized for forgetting about the
Open House yesterday (as did Harry).
Linda ordered another paver brick. Harry said he has
paver sand. Linda also re-edited & abridged “The History of Fraser,” as originally researched &
written by former Fraser Library Director, Barbara Myers.
Nancy talked about the Fraser
History Project, saying the Committee has gotten 10 Chapter Titles, a few which have been taken

Pension Update: DEFINITIONS
Defined Benefit: A pension benefit that is clearly defined often based on earnings, time
of service and certain other factors to calculate the pension amount. The employer is
obligated for the full term of the retirement to ensure the benefit is paid.
Defined Contribution: A pension benefit in which the employer either matches an
employee contribution or provides a specific annual contribution usually using a 401 or
457 plan as the pension vehicle and the employee chooses the distribution method for
his/her retirement. After retirement the employer has no further liability.
ARC: Annual required contribution, which is a combination of employer/employee
contributions. In the case of Fraser it is currently $1.77 million.
UAL: Excess of actuarial accrued liability over the actuarial value of the pension fund
assets. In the case of Fraser that ratio is 57%. *
*These numbers are based on several assumptions. First, annual earnings as
assumed to have an average investment gain of 8% per year. In calculating the
liability the assumptions are annual inflation at 5% and employee earnings
increase at the same 5%. Finally, these numbers are calculated based on a 29year time period.
Smoothing techniques are actuarial way of removing the volatility in the investment
markets with the intent of stabilizing ARC. This is done by recognizing only a portion of
the investment loss or gain for the current and prior years in any given year. Fraser
uses a five-year smoothing.
FAC: Final Average Compensation. In Fraser this is calculated using the final five
years of employment, except Public Safety Command which uses the highest three of
the last five year to arrive at this figure.
Multiplier: This a percentage used to multiply the FAC for the purposes of arriving at the
final compensation amount used to determine the final pension due the retiree. For all
employees in Fraser this multiplier ranges from 2.5 - 2.75%.
Years of Service: This varies from 10 to 25 years for employees in the City.
Final Pension Amount: The final pension calculation is the product of the FAC X
Multiplier X Years of Service.
Spiking: A term used to describe the process wherein employees can significantly
increase their FAC by adding in overtime, special pays and other compensation in the
last few years of employment to inflate their final pension amount. Currently the
employee group with the greatest impact on the pension system is FPS.
COLA: Cost of Living Adjustment. Currently the only employee group that has a COLA
in their Union Contract is the Public Safety POAM group and the COLA adjustment is
10% after 5 yrs retirement and 10% after ten yrs retirement.
Pension Update: NARRATIVE
The City of Fraser has a consolidated defined benefit pension plan that is made up of 6
specific employee groups. There is some differences with respect to employee
contributions, how benefits are calculated and additional post retirement benefits. Since
2009 the City has been moving away from this plan substituting a Defined Contribution
plan for all new employees.
47% of all public pension funds in the US have a 60-69% UAL. The City of Fraser
currently has a 57% UAL. However, even the worse pension plans, such as
Providence, RI and Pittsburg, PA at 34% can be corrected with as little as a 2%
increase in annual funding. While the UAL is determined on a 25-30 year cycle,
liabilities often exceed this cycle time by many years. For example, using standard
mortality tables some of the retirees in 2010 are expected to be receiving their benefit
for 35 years. As a result a small change in contribution or limiting benefits this year will
have a significant impact over time. At 2% you will double your money every 36 years,
at 5% 14.4 years and every 9 years at 8%.
The UAL is an important number as it provides an equal measure for all pension plans
making it easier for pension managers to determine the relative health of their specific
plan. However, it is a limited measure in that it is the assumptions that have a
significant impact on the outcome and without those assumptions you can run the risk of
reacting to a perceived problem. In Fraser, our UAL is based on the assumption that
salaries are increasing 4-5% and inflation will increase at the rate of 5%. Finally, the
current assets are presumed to be earning 8% per year. Given the City has not
experienced inflation at 5% in more than 20 years and wage increases have been less
than 3% for over a decade, we know the liability is overstated. The City of Fraser has a
steady history, as has most pension plans in the US of earnings averaging 8%. So,
while the UAL in Fraser would appear to be comparatively low, if that were calculated
based on actual experience the UAL would increase. Coincidently, the ARC for the City
would also decrease. Given the relative numbers we see and the positive impact of
maintaining our current ARC it is best to maintain our status quo.
Smoothing of investment returns also impacts the pension plan UAL. The intent of
smoothing is to reduce the volatility of the asset value due to radical shifts in the
investment market. As we are all too well award, investment markets since 2007 have
been volatile. Most recently in the past few months we have seen the Dow Jones
average shift as much as 700 points up and down in a matter of weeks. Smoothing
over a five-year period means only a portion of the investment loss or gain is booked
when calculating the UAL. The effect of this is demonstrated best when looking at the
asset value of the pension plan since 2007. In that time frame, 2007 through 2010,
while the liabilities were steadily increasing, approximately 14% in the four year cycle,
smoothing the investment return reduced the asset growth to approximately 4% over
that four year cycle. The 2010 actuarial study noted that during the past year
investment return exceeded the long-term assumed rate of 8%, but smoothing
recognized only a 1.48% increase. So, while smoothing helped in a down market, the
opposite effect is now occurring in that full investment return is not being recognized.
The UAL is also a number that represents the combined UAL measures of each of the 6
employee groups. When reviewing those numbers we find interesting trends. For
example between 2001 and 2010 we note:
•
•
•
•
DPW
Clerical:
Dispatcher:
Public Safety:
2001-101%
2001-83%
2001-56%
2001-84%
2010-79%
2010-86%
2010-88%
2010-54%
The last employee group is of particular interest as it very closely tracks the overall UAL
for the pension plan as in 2001 the overall UAL was 84% dropping to 57% in 2010 with
little variation on a year-to-year basis. When you compare the assets of each of the
groups you also will find that Public Safety assets represent 60% of the total asset value
of the pension plan. As such, there appears to be a direct correlation between the
experience of the Public Safety group and the experience of the overall pension plan.
What characteristics of the public safety pension group make it differ in experience form
the other groups? I would suggest it is primarily in two areas, spiking and COLA as
these benefits are not available to other employee groups who basically use their final
salary only in calculating their pension benefits. There are no uniform allowances,
special pays and significant overtime available to the other employee groups.
The pension plan that has received most news regarding abuse and problems is the
New Jersey state pension. There liberal provisions for calculating the final pension
amount were fraught with many examples of spiking that seriously skewed the pension
liabilities leading to a near collapse of the system compounded by regular COLA
increases. Other pension plans that are having problems can trace them back to these
same issues. So, I do not believe it much of a leap to conclude that these issues are
affecting our local pension plan.
Finally, there is another dynamic that is demonstrated by the remaining two employee
groups, supervisors and management.
• Management:
2001-78% 2010-39%
• Supervisors:
2001-87% 2010-50%
While together they only represent 20% of the overall assets of the pension plan the
reduction in UAL can be directly traced to the fact that only a single active employee is
in each group. All other employees in these groups have since retired.
The dynamic at work here is when the pension plan is reduced to a finite number and
the ratio of active employees to retirees reaches 0, the UAL will increase and the only
contributor from that point forward is the City.
This reality was driven home to the Governor of Rhode Island. From an article on the
subject:
Cutting pensions saves states money, right? Maybe eventually.
Rhode Island Governor Don Carcieri received some discouraging financial news
recently. Carcieri would like to change his state's pension system for new employees. His
hope, naturally, is to save money. But like other policy makers, he is finding that such a
switch could prove costly, at least in the short run.
A study commissioned by Carcieri's office found that moving state workers toward a
401(k)-style retirement system would cost the state $151.5 million the first year and $520
million over seven years. After that, the state should start seeing some savings and begin
to get out from under its heavy pension liability load.
We noted a similar dynamic in my last position where the City had eliminated all DB
pension benefits for new hires. The City’s contributions would increase significantly
over the next decade before finally beginning to reduce. All of this is from the dynamic I
noted above… the number of employees (payers) continually reduces and the number
of retirees (payees) increases leaving the government entity to pay all of the remaining
contributions.
As a result, many communities are beginning to turn to so-called hybrid plans with
significantly reduced DB benefits combined with a DC element all with higher employee
contributions. I have received material on this from our actuary and am in the process
of reviewing this to determine if there is a hybrid formula that will be better for the City
than just eliminating the DB for all new employees.
Recommended Changes to our DB Pension Plan:
1) Eliminate all COLA’s from our pension plan.
2) Change all FAC calculations to be based on a five-year average salary only
eliminating all other compensation from the formula.
3) Increase pension contributions to 10% for all covered employees from the current
5%.
4) Change salary multipliers consistent with State recommendations of 2% for
employees not eligible for Social Security and 1.5% for those eligible.
5) Increase the minimum retirement age to 55 and 60 depending on the years of
service instead of the current 50 and 55.
6) Continue using the current UAL assumptions until the pension plan UAL exceeds
at least 80%. Then review to determine if investment proceeds and liabilities
support reducing the assumptions to actual experience levels.
7) Maintain the current smoothing formula until markets stabilize and then revisit
this issue with our actuaries to determine if the current formula needs to be
changed.
8) Review and determine if the fiscal health and stability of the pension plan and
City would be better served with all new employees enrolling in a hybrid DB/DC
pension plan as opposed to the current DC option only.
Items 1-5 will require that changes are done during contract negotiations. While it
would be best if the change impacted all employees it may be difficult to sustain such a
position if we are moved into 312 arbitration. So, I would recommend the changes
impact all employees not currently vested which would incorporate employees hired
since 2005.
As far as item 5, IRS published rules dictating the minimum age for retirement be raised
to 55 with a preferred minimum age of 62 on June 30, 2010. The deadline was
changed to January 1, 2011 then suspended in the wake of significant labor opposition,
primarily form public safety unions. If this change is made all pension plans, including
ours, would be forced to comply.
IRS Update:
During my research on the pension plan and the early retirement incentives offered in
2010 I found that our pension plan had not requested a letter of determination form the
IRS stating our compliance with all IRS regulations governing pension plans. The
deadline was January 1, 2011 and time was too short to accomplish this task. As an
alternative we requested IRS enroll us in their Voluntary Compliance Plan. We have
been accepted into the plan and are now working with the IRS to bring our plan into
compliance. Essentially, the City of Fraser failed to amend its plan at least 4 times from
2001 through 2008 to meet new guidelines. Our enrollment in the VCP preserves the
tax exempt status of our pension plan and allows us time to properly amend the plan ad
receive approval from the IRS.
