Summary: This proposed, IGA, already approved and signed by the Pension Fund, would reflect the County’s commitment to appropriate an additional $306,214,508.00 to the Pension Fund. As stated in the IGA for FY2020, the agreement requires the Pension Fund to continue its commitment to providing the County Board with actuarial data and certain reporting on its relative investment performance. This FY2020 IGA is in the same form as the FY2019 IGA, as previously approved by the County Board, with revisions based on the total amount of the additional contribution and the payment of that amount over the course of a year. The IGA reflects the undertaking of the County Board and the County Board President when the decision was made to increase the sales tax by 1%.
