I see the girl I want to be. Good morning, everybody. Today, we'll go ahead and get started on the election of fate. Urban County government, police and fire retirement fund meeting. It's April 9th, 2025. And we'll start off first with matters requiring board action. And that's the treasurer's report is first. Good morning. You should have in your packet various financial reports as well as the letter of transmittal. I do want to point out that you've got the manager's mix. I think yesterday, at the very top on there, you see where we have now had a purchase into LaSalle 5.6 million. Um, they do it every quarter. And what will happen the beginning of July is we're going to put in, according to Callen, another 21 million to start moving the money into LaSalle from J. P. Morgan. So I just wanted to point that out on your manager's mix is there now, so we will start moving the money over. It will take a while. Like I say, it's once every three months is how often we can buy into the fund. How much have we put in there so far? At the top, you'll see 5.6 million. That was our first. Yeah, that's our first purchase. So they do it. You know, you can't just buy in every day. You have to wait till their purchase window. And then, of course, J. P. Morgan's liquidation window open and close as a really Monday Monday evening. The value of the plan was 933,386,609 dollars and 92 cents, which compares to last month of 979,068,266 dollars and 81 cents. Uh, need a motion to approve reluctantly.

At this point, we have, you know, we have a lot of, we have a lot of retirements and a lot of people living on disability. And of course, tribute to Howard Rupert, if anybody wants to make any comments. Mr. Puckett. Captain Rupert. Believe it or not, I didn't, I never worked under him, but he was a person that was always there. Um, told some of the worst jokes I ever, I can ever remember. They were so bad you had to laugh. Um, quite a singer. I don't know if you've ever heard him sing, but he was pretty good. Uh, and all that. But, uh, wonderful guy. Always pleasant. Um, just started to see him go. Thank you. Mr. Chief. Um, I want to take opportunity to thank all those individuals that are retiring, whether it's based on disability or service time and, um, on behalf of the fire department, the police department and the mayor who couldn't make it here with us today. Thank you very much for all your service and your dedication to this city and the citizens there in, um, the work that you've done here, whether it's for one year or 30 years, will always resonate with the individuals that you provided service to. And we just want to say thank you. And, uh, on Captain Rupert, I think he's about the only person that you couldn't call a rookie at one time or another. So, so, um, outstanding gentleman. Always thought of the world of him. He did his service both, both in the police department and with our parks and rec folks for years and years and years and a true public servant. But that's not to take away from all these other other individuals that provided their time and efforts to our city as well. So thank you. Anybody else? I also had the pleasure of knowing and working with a little bit. Uh, Captain Rupert met him in, uh, 1409 Forbes Road a century ago. Uh, I never ever, whether it was in an administrative capacity or, uh, where we were working alongside the police at some type of scene, saw him in a disagreeable fashion. One of the nicest guys you could ever hope to run into and, um, got to hear him saying a number of times. He's, he's, he was quite a singer. He will be missed most definitely. Any other comments? Uh, I'd like, I'd like to comment for Jarvis, David, Scott and Catherine. Uh, thank you all for your service. Uh, I've had the pleasure to work with all all of them. And I don't know. I don't want to say it was a pleasure, but it wasn't a displeasure. I had a chance to talk to him about leaving. Uh, all of them were reluctant to leave and had their own reasons for leaving. But they all wish they could stay. And that's just a testament to the dedicated people that they are. As far as, uh, Captain Rupert, I did have the honor to work with him when I, uh, when I was a rookie, um, at Maxwell and Marino, he was my first captain. Um, and I had to endure the joke, sir. Um, he was a fabulous singer. He was a part of a quartet. And I remember every christmas season, they would come to police headquarters and go to every floor and sing. And I think they went over to the government center to do that too. He, uh, stayed in service with the city for a long time. He worked for the parks department and I got to work with him then. Um, he's an outstanding gentleman. Uh, always, always positive and he will be missed. Thank you. Chief. Mr Puckett. Uh, there was an officer that did not retire from here. Um, thomas more. He, he worked for the department. I believe it was 19 years. I had the pleasure of working with him. He just passed. And uh, thomas was a very quiet individual, very, very steady, always going to be there and all that. Absolutely. One of the nicest, well mannered gentleman that you will ever meet. And uh, for his family, everything I want to, my condolences uh, on the loss. And uh, unfortunately he uh, he left and went to uh, other opportunities and uh, and did not retire here. But 19 years is a long time to work here though. Sorry. I want to thank you for bringing that up. Um, I work with thomas more on several occasions on quite a few special assignments and uh, above all, he taught me the importance of patience and tolerance and discipline. I mean, he was, I mean, if we went into anything, any scene that was volatile or anything like that, he could calm it down in a minute. And um, he was a great police officer, well respected and my condolences to his family as well. Do we have any other comments next on the agenda? Our subcommittee updates. Tommy has the continuation of benefit subcommittee as well as legislative subcommittee. The organizational subcommittee, since tray is not here, there's no update. There will be a meeting scheduled for May 14th at 10 o'clock. Okay. Uh, on the continuation of benefits, uh, no complaints. So that's always a good thing. Uh, the legislative subcommittee we met on april the 2nd for about two hours. Um, basically went over, said uh, what our agenda is and we have another meeting may the what 14th I think it is. Mhm. Yes. Yes. Okay. May the 14th. Uh, we're going to be contacting um, uh, mr green and um, seeing if we can get some ideas of cost and so forth. So that's where we're at. Do we have any additional information? Chief. I'd just like to take a moment and um, express the board's condolences from a susan. Um, not to put you on the spot, but she goes out of her way to make all of our sworn members and their families feel loved and cared for at all times. And we just want you to know that we're thinking of you and your family at this difficult time at the passing of your dad. So thank you. Mhm. Anyone else? I just want to say that uh, uh, far susan. Um, we love you and anything we can do, you know, just call, we'll be there. Thanks. Miss Vance. Thanks chief. For those who are departing either the division of police or the division of fire. Um, if you left on service, this was your choice. If you left on disability, perhaps it was not your choice. And we understand that we appreciate your service. And uh, if there is anything that we can do, you can contact this board for information or to try to help you in the future. But again, thank you for your service. Mhm. Anyone else? I think that concludes the meeting for today. Do I have a motion to adjourn? So move. You want to discuss it? All in favor. Uh huh. Because we're off the time. You always have questions. Many times I tried to tell you many times. Right? Boys, I'm surprised. It's too leave you. I've missed too much to give you to the doubts that complicate your mind. We belong to the we belong to the sound of the world. People falling on whenever we deny for better. We belong. We belong together. Mhm. Maybe it's a sign of weakness. I don't know what to say. Maybe I just wouldn't know what to do. Get together. It's on the tracks. You want to have some fun. You never want to spend some cash. That doesn't sound I don't get you. Get together. Look at mhm. Don't sit there mumbling. If you want to have a ball, you better spend some cash. Yeah. Good time. Hey, when the police comes around, but the good explanatory. Yeah. Everybody. Everybody. Yeah. B. B.
