Services Director Marc Mason appeared. Human Resources Director Swanson said we are
seeking approval of a contract with a new company to consolidate the 401 A and 457 Pension
Plan. The City has been using several companies over the years and staff believes if we
consolidate the funds in the plans we would get better service and fees would be reduced.
Staff received proposals from eight companies and narrowed it down to four which were then
thoroughly vetted and interviewed. Staff has selected ING to consolidate the plans and a
representative to work one on one with the employees and conduct informational seminars.
Human Resources Director Swanson said this will be a great move for the employees as they
will have better options and reduced fees. Human Resources Director Swanson responded
to a few questions from the Commission.
