PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS
Mayor Lozano opened Public Communications at 6:04 p.m.
Greg Tuttle, Baldwin Park business owner, expressed objection to how public records requests
were being processed, opining that it is costly to have the City Attorney's Office involved in the
process; suggested that all contracts under $25,000 should be approved by the Chief Executive
Officer in addition to department directors; opined that submitted invoices should be paid on the
last payable date of the invoice rather than immediately so that maximum interest can be
collected on funds in the bank.
Seeing no one wishing to speak, Public Communications closed at 6:08 p.m.
OPEN SESSION/STUDY SESSION — PROPOSED BUDGET
1. CALPERS PENSION PROJECTION OVERVIEW
Finance Director Rose Tam narrated a PowerPoint presentation that represented the
current CaIPERS pension obligations and projections of anticipated pension obligations
that will occur in the next 5 fiscal years.
Ira Summer and Nick Soh, of Govinvest, Inc., demonstrated how financial obligations
could be projected for the CaIPERS pension contributions and how variables could be
plugged into the program to reflect various scenarios and the resulting financial impact.
Finance Director Tam noted that prepaying some of the future obligations in small
installments could provide savings to the City in the form of reduced interest on
obligation balances.
