Here. Director Stewart. Director Thomas. Here. Director Anthrop. Here. Director Greenwich. Director Pasho. Director Scrubs. Ms. Jonesy. Mr. Joseph. Mr. McBoole. Ms. Schein. You have a quorum. Thank you very much. First order of business. May we have a motion to approve the minutes from the last trustee meeting dated May 20, 2026. Sure move. Moved by Director Pasho. Second by Director Anthrop. All in favor? Aye. Thank you very much. We've accepted the minutes. And we'll go right into our action items. First up, Gray Lewis, our CFO. Yes. Thank you. Resolution 94 follows our Pitch and Plan funding policy and as was presented by the plan actuary, estimates fiscal 26 employer contribution 11.2 million or 18.16% of pensionable compensation. In addition to the regular 6% employee contributions, these amounts for fiscal 26 are pretty similar, just a little bit below fiscal 25 driven by a small reduction in covered employees. And we continue to follow our annual funding policy that was adopted in 2021, which is improving our funded ratio each year. Also with this, we're adopting the actual recommendation to update the mortality table used in the actuarial evaluation , which is adjusted via publication 2016. And we appreciate the board's vote to pass the continued funding of our pension plan under the policy. And happy to answer any questions. All right. Are there any questions before we proceed? No. Seeing none. We have a motion to approve resolution R094-2026. So moved. Moved by Dire …

Thank you. As I am aware, there was a question dealing with grievances on our policies and also what do we do when a leader has a situation where there's a question and there being a question warranting investigation or concern. I've asked special counsel to look at that and to speak to us today, and so go right ahead. So very briefly, what we currently have is a grievance process that is managed through the employee relations department and then that goes, that is also housed in the CAO's org chart. If there is a conflict or need for further review, that is then referred to legal and we will engage outside counsel to complete any outside investigation of the matter. And that includes both accusations against a leader or conflicts where the ER department cannot cover the investigation. And has that been shared with all SWPNO employees? I don't know that it's published anywhere, but I do routinely receive requests from employees directly and I will share that information. I've shared that information as recently as this week on Monday. Okay. Yeah. So, I mean, that's a helpful overview. I think we were anticipating going into a little bit more detail about the policy because we have a responsibility to try to make sure policies related to that topic and any topic are sufficient. So let me ask a different question. Have we recently, in the recent past, had some sort of review of the grievance policy specifically? To my knowledge, we have not reviewed the grievance policy. Legal …

We will now proceed with our four presentation items. First up, we have an Executive Summary Report with our CFO, Mr. Gray Lewis. Good morning. Thanks for the opportunity to be here with the joint committee. We're going to talk about several topics to get an update. The year is humming along, as we all know. Today we have the March year-to-date financials included, update on Oracle. We think the past month, we continue to stabilize on the transaction processing. That's coming along, working with the consultants on kind of an extended hypercare for the new software. The financial reporting also needs to focus to get kind of back to a normalized state. So we've included year-to-date numbers. We'll talk a little bit about those. It's a continued work in process there. And we're also -- this is the time of year for the audit deadline looming in the next few weeks. So that's really the primary focus, December 31, '25. But these March numbers, $68.1 million for the first three months of operating revenue, water, sewer. That's just about $1.39 million below budget, tracking along fairly well. Drainage taxe …

And then the second, the recommendation for infrastructure asset class, also Mr. Kwaku Obed of Marquette and Associ ates. Mr. Obed, please proceed. Great. Good morning, everyone. So April was definitely a kind of period as we think about the markets. So we'll go back a little bit in the time machine, and we 'll think about why the markets have been so volatile. So February 27th, we had the war escalation in Iran. The markets sold off. We saw energy prices go up over successive weeks. We're still seeing that happen. We saw interest rates go up, and we saw more volatility in the market, just given the mixed signals around the economy that rising gas prices, commodity prices have basically triggered. So the month of March was a pretty challenging month. February was also a challenging month, particularly towards the end. But April, the market rebounded. And the big takeaway here is, as we think about headl …
