Deferred Compensation of the Indian River County Code of Ordinances
Indian River County Florida Page 9
Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final May 9, 2017
Attachments: Finance Staff Report
Vice Chairman O'Bryan mentioned that he had heard from employees who had
wished to have additional time for consideration of the Combined Deferred
Compensation Plan and the opportunity to have questions answered. He made the
request to allow the Clerk of Circuit Court and Comptroller to make his full
presentation, but to postpone the vote until the meeting of May 16, 2017. He asked
the County's Human Resources Department to provide an additional question and
answer session to allow the employees ample opportunity to voice their concerns
and to have their questions answered.
A short discussion ensued amongst the Board about the discussions held last week
with employees regarding the consolidation of the plans, and the consensus of the
Board was that the employees should be allowed the time they need to ensure that
all of their questions were addressed. Commissioner Zorc also requested to provide
additional time at the May 16, 2017 meeting for any other questions, if necessary.
Clerk of Circuit Court and Comptroller Jeffrey R. Smith provided details about the
hiring of a consultant, AndCo Consulting, LLC (formerly known as The Bogdahn
Group), to review the deferred compensation plans to determine what was in the
best interest of the plan participants. He informed the Board that it was suggested
by the consultant to consolidate all the plans into one deferred compensation
provider to reduce record keeping fees; utilize best practices for transparency; and
to simplify the investment lineup using open architecture. He described the Request
for Proposal (RFP) process, and that out of the nine qualified responses received,
Mass Mutual and Nationwide were the only providers that could provide a fund
with a guaranteed rate of return. Mr. Smith noted that the main objective was to
ensure that employees who chose to participate in the plan, would have the best
service for the best rate, and have access to the best funds available to invest in.
Mr. Smith, with the assistance of Tony Kay, Consultant, AndCo Consulting, LLC,
answered questions from the Board and provided a PowerPoint Presentation on the
purposes of the consolidation, the record keeping fees involved, and the anticipated
savings the plan offers.
Additional information was sought and received between the Board, Mr. Smith,
Finance Director Diane Bernardo, and Mr. Kay about the selection of available
funds in the new plan with Nationwide; the open process which the Board would
use to consider which funds to choose for the new plan; the savings in record
keeping fees that the new plan would provide; and whether the employees would
have the ability to transfer their current investments into the same fund in the new
plan.
Vice Chairman O'Bryan asked if it was possible to obtain a report that had the total
dollar amounts in each fund in each plan, and asked if a Roth IRA would be
offered. He also expressed concerns about the current employees who were
invested solely with the Nationwide Fixed Account who had a guaranteed 3.5%
annual rate of return for as long as their funds were invested and he wished to have
the proposal clarified.
Indian River County Florida Page 10
Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final May 9, 2017
Mr. Smith, with the assistance of Diane Bernardo and Mr. Kay, assured the Board
that they would reach out to Nationwide for clarifications on the concerns that were
expressed and would provide an update at the May 16th meeting.
Donald Hart, Indian River County Sheriff (Ret.), shared his concerns about his
current investments with Mass Mutual and the Nationwide Fixed Account, as he
had rolled his funds from the Florida Retirement System (FRS) into those accounts
because of the 3.5% guaranteed rate of return.
Mr. Smith addressed Mr. Hart's concerns, and clarified that since the Indian River
County Sheriffs Office opted out of the process, it would not affect his investment.
He referred him to the advisor or consultant that the Sheriffs Office uses for further
questions.
Lisa Patton, Utilities Services, asked if she could keep what she currently had
invested in Florida League of Cities and not consolidate her investments into
Nationwide. She felt as though her money was being moved into another account
without her permission.
Mr. Kay provided information on the self-directed brokerage option in an effort to
solve Ms. Patton's issue, but could not guarantee that the low record keeping fee
that Nationwide was offering would apply.
Cindy Corrente, Utility Finance Manager, in representation of employees that were
in the Teamsters Union, as well as non -bargaining employees, expressed concerns
about Nationwide. She noted that 48% of the employees who had invested funds,
had invested elsewhere, and was unsure of the ability to have all concerns
addressed before the next meeting.
Commissioner Solari suggested a review of the 119 funds, and the creation of a
spreadsheet from the accumulated data to help employees understand the process
and to clarify the available options.
David Nolte, Property Appraiser, felt that the cause of the problem was a
comprehension issue, and expressed appreciation to Mr. Smith and staff for their
hard work in attempting to save employees money. He suggested that the Board
support the consolidation of the plans.
Mr. Smith expressed sincere thanks for the contributions made by staff of each
constitutional officer who participated in the Request for Proposal (RFP)
Committee, including Management and Budget Director Mike Smykowsi,
Purchasing Manager Jennifer Hyde, Human Resource Director Suzanne Boyll, and
the Firefighters Union.

did not request to have her item cancelled, and wished to be heard.
It was the Board's consensus to allow Ms. Scott to speak, and the Agenda was

Ms. Scott provided data and statistics on specific areas of concern for the
Gifford community, and made mention of the lack of emergency plans in place
to help the elderly and the medically needy in the event of a power outage.
The Board responded to Ms. Scott's concerns, and explained that Indian River
County currently has a state-of-the-art Emergency Operations Center (EOC)
that is fully equipped to handle any emergency that may arise, as well as a
special needs evacuation center with additional medical personnel to care for

for those who live, work and visit the Gifford area.
Merchon Green provided background information and goals of the organization
"Pioneering Change" that was created to unite, improve, and educate the
citizens of the community.
Freddie Woolfork, 4590 57th Avenue, felt that Gifford is in transition, and
expressed his appreciation for the community's willingness to come together for
a common cause. He suggested bringing back the Gifford Fun Day.
Michael Marsh made comments about working together with the Sheriffs office
and made reference to House Bill 513 (FL H0513), which is related to Law
Enforcement Body Cameras. He suggested the formation of a body camera
committee, and the need for conversations to be held regarding the subject. The
Board noted that the subject of body cameras was not on the agenda for
discussion today, and suggested that discussions be held at a later time.
Donald Hart, 4295 45th Lane, echoed the comments of Mr. Woolfork and
stressed the importance of working together to make the community a better
place.
A concerned citizen made comments regarding her son, who has a pending case
in the criminal justice system, and supported the need for body cameras in
Gifford; she felt as though there was no one to help.
County Attorney Dylan Reingold clarified that there was open communication
on certain issues having to do with the community, but that the Board was
limited on communications regarding certain issues that involve the Sheriffs
office.
