Kier Wachterhauser from Murphy, Hesse, Toomey and Lehane, LLC at 10:45 am, as prospective Labor Counsel candidates. Prior to this meeting, the Board prepared a list of questions which the office staff emailed to the 2 firms, which were to be discussed during this interview process. There were a series of questions that each candidate responded to, with the Board members asking questions where they felt necessary. One of the requests the Board had asked for from each firm was to provide a list of clients they have worked with regarding an employee handbook with a point of reference, prior to the interview, in an effort to contact these clients for references. Given that neither fmn complied with this request, the Board addressed this concern with each firm. The Board requested again that each firm provide the Retirement office staff with names of clients these frons have worked with, as well as a point of contact. Upon receipt of these references, the office staff will forward them to Sharon Angstrom. Sharon will call each reference and report back to the Board at the September 21, 2022 regular session Board meeting. The Board members felt that this would give them better clarity in making the selection for Labor Counsel. Robert Beck joined this open session at 10:45 am.
