MEMORANDUM #19, 2007 M E M O R A N D U M TO: All Retirement Boards FROM: Joseph E. Connarton, Executive Director RE: Governor's Proposal DATE: March 8, 2007
The Public Employee Retirement Administration Commission (PERAC) at its
most recent meeting reviewed the enclosed memorandum relative to Governor
Patrick’s recent pension proposal filed as part of his package of
recommendations focusing on municipal government. The Commission has
not taken a position on the Governor's initative.
Although the enclosed memo is self-explanatory, I am providing this to you
for informational purposes. I would stress that this analysis is based on 2001-
2005 returns and actuarial valuations presently available to PERAC.
Obviously the time frame that may be relevant in assessing systems’
performance and funded status under the proposal is contingent on the final
version of the legislation if it is adopted.
