DATE: June 1, 2016 TO: Board of Retirement FROM: Donald C. Kendig, CPA Retirement Administrator STAFF CONTACT: Becky Van Wyk, CPA Assistant Retirement Administrator SUBJECT: REVIEW AND APPORVAL OF THE FISCAL YEAR 2016-17
PROPOSED ADMINISTRATIVE BUDGET; FISCAL YEAR 2015-16 APPROPRIATIONS TRANSFER; AND, LINEA CHANGE ORDERS 2 AND 3 – RECEIVE AND FILE; APPROPRIATE ACTION
Background Government Code section 31580.2(a), as amended, requires the Board to annually adopt a budget
covering the entire expense of administration of the retirement system. The total administrative
expenses, which are direct charges against the earnings of the fund, may not exceed the greater of
twenty-one hundredths of one percent of the accrued actuarial liability of the system, or two million
dollars ($2,000,000), as adjusted annually by the amount of the annual cost of living adjustment
(CAP).
Government Code section 31580.2(b), as amended, provides an exclusion from the CAP for
expenditures for computer software, computer hardware, and computer technology consulting
services in support of these computer products. These costs are identified as information technology
costs herein.
The Administrative Budget for 2015-16 continues with the “Base Budget” concept formalized during the 2013-14 budget. As you may recall, this concept is driven by the “same as previously authorized” level of operations. Adjustments against actual and budgeted amounts are displayed. Most of the changes are due to contracts, projects, Board initiatives, or changes in cost to payroll and operating expenditure categories that are not under our control.

Administrative Budget Fiscal Year 2016-17 Page 2
The “Base” level of projected expenditures is what is deemed consistent with the expected level of operations and effort, based on Board directives, contracts, continuing contracts, or expected inflation.
Overview
Separate Identification of Information Technology and Contingency
While the inclusion of information technology costs in the administrative costs would not exceed the
CAP, the information technology costs are separately identified as allowed by California statutes.
FCERA Budget at a Glance
The chart below highlights the FCERA total budget for Fiscal Year 2016-17, inclusive of contingency
and all information technology (I/T) costs. The basis point calculation against Association liabilities is
shown by major expenditure area as well as overall administrative costs, when compared to the
statutory provisions, total $6,216.6 (in thousands) and 12.3 bps, well below the statutory limit of 21
bps.

The total proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2016-17 is $6,450,000 and includes 33.0 Full Time
Equivalent (FTE) positions. The amount includes administrative expenses (including cash and
Administrative Budget Fiscal Year 2016-17 Page 3
depreciation) and the contingency for relocation costs associated with the high speed rail project.
The total would be $6,216,600 at 12.3 bps if the excludable I/T costs were included in the budget.
This represents an increase of $23,200 increase over the Adjusted 2015-16 Administrative Budget of
$6,193,400 and an additional 2.0 positions (1.0 net FTE) from the prior year projected expenditures,
excluding I/T costs. However, a budgeted depreciation decrease of $877,000, resulting from delays
in implementing the pension administration system is more than offset by other appropriations that
will be discussed in the following paragraphs. Lastly, the budget continues to include a contingency
towards the cost of relocating as a result of the high speed rail, and has been increased from
$100,000 to $150,000.
Fiscal Year 2015-16 Budget Results
FCERA started the 2015-16 fiscal year with an adopted/adjusted budget of $6,193,400 (excluding I/T
expenditures).
The projected Administrative expenditures, including depreciation, for the 2015-16 fiscal year are
estimated at $4,974,339 which is $1,219,061 less than the Adopted Budget approved for the year.
Salary and Benefits experienced underspending of $25,701, while Services and Supplies experienced
underspending of $272,360 after adjusting for depreciation as discussed above. Although FCERA
experienced significant salary savings due to delays in filling positions and filling positions with lower
level staff than budgeted, they salary savings were offset by negotiated salary increases for
represented staff and the reclassification of the Benefits Staff from Retirement Coordinators to
Retirement Specialists with resulting increases to salary. Similar results were experienced for
benefits as well. Additional savings were experienced through a reduction in overtime.
Savings were experienced through delays in budgeted projects such as the conversion of microfilm
and microfiche to searchable digital files. FCERA did use the contingency set aside for the relocation
as a result of the high speed rail in order to place a deposit in escrow for the property identified by
the Board as FCERA’s future business site. These projects are carried forward to the 2016-17 budget.
Salaries and Benefits
The Administrative Budget is comprised of Salaries and Benefits, and Services and Supplies. The base
budget for salaries and benefits for 2016-17 is $200,700 greater than the Adopted Budget for 2015-
16 as a result of additional salary increases negotiated for represented groups, the reclassification
and subsequent salary increases of the Retirement Specialists that will be paid for the full fiscal year,
the anticipated salary increase of the Administrator and filling vacant positions. The total Salaries
and Benefits being proposed for Fiscal Year 2016-17 is $2,847,600 with 33 FTE’s, a net increase of
Administrative Budget Fiscal Year 2016-17 Page 4
$45,500 or 1.6% and 2.0 positions from the base budget of $2,802,100. The increase is attributable
to adding an Account Clerk position to assist with the backlog of service credit purchases and
contribution adjustments and an Office Assistant to process the scanning of member records, assist
with workflows and new employee orientation. The scanning of member records has been
completed by contract employees for the last year while we worked to get caught up after the
conversion to the new electronic member record system. These positions are budgeted at the first
step and are expected to be filled in January 2017 if approved by the Board.
Services and Supplies
The base budget for services and supplies for 2016-17 is $623,000 less than the Adjusted Budget for 2015-16 primarily as a result of a reduction in the depreciation in the Administrative Budget due to delays in implementing the Pension Administration System. Expenditures for telephones are expected to increase as a result of moving to a new phone systems sourced by the County which will provide individual lines for each employee and provide usage reports by phone line. Memberships are increased to reflect the additional memberships to CII for the Board; Fig Garden Rotary and the Business Journal for the Administrator; Public Pension Financial Forum (P2F2) for the accountants; and Public Relations Society of America for the Communications Officer. These additional memberships are expected to provide valuable networking and research opportunities to enhance the skills of FCERA staff. General Operating Expenses are increased in anticipation of Trustee Elections scheduled and mailings associated with the implementation of a member portal. Professional Expenses increases substantially for Linea support services that were previously approved by the Board to support the implementation through August 12, 2016 (Change Order 2 to formalize the approval is attached). Given staff turnover, Linea was requested to provide a proposed change order (Change Order 3 for Board approval) to provide continuation services until mid-January 2017 at a cost of $142,080 (subject to termination with a 30 day notice). Linea team members have been involved in system development and one is potentially needed to provide continued support for post implementation bug fixes and training module input. Change orders 2 & 3 are attached to finalize the approval for support. Training and Travel for staff increased due to additional training being brought to FCERA and necessitates and appropriations transfer of $10,000 from fixed assets to fully budget for the remainder of the 2015-16 Fiscal year. The increase in security costs is based on costs provided by the County, actual costs are based on hours used. Excluded I/T costs are decreased significantly due to the anticipated completion of the project. Although several enhancements have been identified for future implementation, costs have not been developed as of this time.

As part of the pension administration system implementation, FCERA has encountered difficulties in documenting procedures. Part of the difficulty has been in the large staff turnover experienced during the last two years, part is the backlog of work resulting from the conversion to the new system. As a result, FCERA administration has Tegrit to provide a Supplemental Support Proposal. FCERA Administration has included $200,000 in the Proposed budget to provide this service. New Training Modules Initiative FCERA Administration is working with its IT consultants on a training module that will enable consistent and timely training of new staff, and consistent and timely work product. We have completed two test modules gratis and worked with Tegrit to develop a budget and plan for future modules. The proposed budget includes $200,000 towards the development of this training system. Instead of a train the trainers system that requires experienced staff to consistently train new staff, and to reliably remain with the agency, the training modules are designed to provide consistent, easy to follow training to all staff, new or seasoned, and protects FCERA from the inconsistency and poor training outcomes that could result from staff turnover and inexperienced trainers (the blind leading the blind). There is a cost of between $240,500 and $267,500 estimated, and $200,000 has been budgeted, for module design. Anticipated maintenance costs approximate $95,000 or one FTE in the supervisory level with benefits. This module would serve as FCERA’s “Automated Trainer”. Recommended Actions
1. Adopt the proposed budget as recommended. 2. Approve a transfer of $10,000 budgeted in the fixed asset account to the Training and Travel
– Staff account for budget year 2015-16. 3. Approve Linea Change Orders 2 and 3
Alternative Action 1. Direct staff to make changes as determined during the discussion and direct staff to submit
the revised proposed budget to the full Board for approval at the June 15, 2016 Board meeting.

FCERA ADDITIONAL SUPPORT BUDGET PROPOSAL To the Board of Trustees and Administration: Thank you for this opportunity to propose a budgetary adjustment to the support needs of the FCERA team. We are providing this information for budgetary purposes ONLY and are not requesting additional payment. FCERA has prepaid support to Tegrit through December 31, 2017. This support consists of 40 hours per month and includes:
Application hosting
Bug fixes and corrective maintenance
Telephone and email support during FCERA business hours
After hours support as needed
Service and maintenance releases
Programming for system enhancements FCERA will be billed hourly for any hours that exceed the 40 hours per month. We do anticipate FCERA’s support needs will increase in the near future due to the transition of key staff members that were involved in the Arrivos implementation. The transition of key staff members may also result in some changes to existing functionality. These change requests are not covered by the support contract and would need to be paid for separately. In addition to support and change requests, FCERA may wish to add new functionality to Arrivos so that staff can provided enhanced member services. We cannot anticipate how much additional support (day-to-day, change requests, and enhancements) FCERA may require, but it would cost FCERA $210,000 for an additional 960 hours of support and enhancements per year, which breaks down to an additional 80 hours a month. For the 16 month period of September 2016 – December 2017, the total cost would be $280,000 for an additional 1,280 hours of support. If FCERA would like to adjust the number of additional support and enhancement hours, the cost is $35,000 for an addition or reduction of 10 hours per month over the 16 month period of September 2016 – December 2017. For example:
Additional Monthly Hours
Additional Hours (09/2016 – 12/2016)
Additional Hours (01/2017 – 12/2017)
Cost for 2016
Cost for 2017
Total Cost (Sept 2016 – Dec 2017)
80 320 960 $70,000 $210,000 $280,000
90 (+10) 360 1080 $80,000 $235,000 $315,000
70 (-10) 280 840 $60,000 $185,000 $245,000
As you are aware, Tegrit’s most important value is the partnership with FCERA. Tegrit would like to be able to provide enhanced employee and member services long after the current project ends. Of course, our service commitment does not diminish at production rollout or when the warranty period ends. Our singular goal is guaranteeing that your members not only receive the retirement benefits they earned, but also the excellent service they deserve. Sincerely, Tim Fouts, Director Rosalyn Zielke, PMP

We are providing this information for budgetary purposes ONLY and are not requesting additional payment. Tegrit is currently developing two training pilots for FCERA. The subjects are “Reciprocity” and “What Tier Am I?”. Demonstrations of the draft training modules have been positively received by the FCERA staff.

FCERA-Linea Solutions, Inc. Change Order 3, Arrivos Post Implementation
Support
Fresno County Employees’ Retirement Association (FCERA) is planning to complete the
implementation of all phases of the Arrivos software solution on August 12th
, 2016.
When corporate-wide software implementation such as this are finished, organizations
frequently use a consultant to assist in the stabilization of the organization’s business
processes and the software since the entire business is now adjusting to using the new
solution and the old way things were done is now gone. FCERA is requesting Linea
Solutions assist during this stabilization period. Linea will provide full time support with
a consultant who is an expert with the Arrivos software and pension business processes
generally.
This service will be used on a monthly basis and ended when FCERA determines the
service is no longer required. For budgeting purposes Linea has estimated 5 months of
post-production support starting in mid-August 2016 and ending mid-January 2017.
These additional support activities will be performed at the end of the current contracted
budget. The budget allocation for these additional services is $142,080.00 including a
travel charge of 11% of the billing rate. Linea will provide Melody Hodges, an Arrivos
and pension processes expert to meet the needs of FCERA at a rate of $160. FCERA has
the right to end the services at any time the organization feels the necessary stabilization
has been achieved. Linea requests 30 days’ notice prior to termination of services.
