b. General Employees Retirement Plan Administrator Administrator McKamey stated that there have been several issues with the General Employee' s Retirement Plan Administrator under our current provider Mission Square. ICMA began doing business as Mission Square approximately two years ago. Since that time we have had numerous complaints about poor customer service. They also have not provided the required report for the City' s annual audit and financial reporting. The City is a long- standing member of the Florida League of Cities. The FLC reputation has grown and continues to grow. Jeremy Button, Senior Financial Analyst from the FLC came forward and explained their services and history with the City. Mr. Button stated the City and its employees currently pay around $ 45, 500 in both administrative costs and investment costs each year with Mission Square. With FLC that cost will be$ 13, 300 - a savings of over$ 32,000 a year. Comparison of investment fund activity is more difficult to compare. However, 68% of Belleview assets are in Target Funds and Money Market/ Stable Value where FLC funds tended to shine and do better than Mission Square performance. There are also options for the Roth IRS' s. The employee can opt to leave those accounts with Mission Square or move the existing Roth IRA to another retirement plan or to their local bank. The Roth IRA funds can still be processed through payroll deduction. Motion made by Commissioner Goldman to proceed with the transfer of the General Employees Retirement Plan Administrator from Mission Square to the Florida League of Cities; Seconded by Commissioner Smith.
