Board makes addition to 2013 Legislative Agenda; passes resolution opposing temporary transfer windows
The Board voted to add a proposal to its 2013 Legislative Agenda recommending that the General Assembly remove from the Illinois Pension Code the requirement that IMRF Trustees “hold regular monthly meetings” and propose instead that the Pension Code state the Board “hold at least quarterly regular meetings.” If the statute is amended, the Board can then make other changes to committee charters or other Board policies as it deems necessary.
The Board also adopted a resolution to oppose legislation that creates temporary transfer windows between IMRF and other public pension funds. Typically, temporary transfer windows increase costs for IMRF employers.
Board hears update on 3rd Quarter Strategic Objectives
Executive Director Louis Kosiba updated the Board on 3rd Quarter progress related to IMRF’s Strategic Objectives. Highlights include:
IMRF earned the top score in a July 2012 benchmarking report from the Cobalt Community Research Retirement Benchmarking Program. The survey program compared IMRF’s pension inception process to other public pension systems.
IMRF had 100% employee participation in its recent 2012 Employee Engagement Survey. IMRF ranked in the 95th percentile for staff response to the engagement indicator: “I am motivated to give 100% effort at work.”
Illinois Performance Excellence (ILPEx) recently completed an analysis of IMRF operations. ILPEx examiners interviewed 83 employees and Trustees. IMRF will use the ILPEx performance report to improve customer service.
In 2013, IMRF will begin developing a new Strategic Plan for the years 2014-2016.
The Board confirmed the participation of the following new employer:
