I. President’s Report

Pension Fund

  • The general membership meeting had been cancelled pending a report from Local #47 and the MAC meeting in Chicago. The report from Local #47 was that the majority of time was spent on the history of the pension fund.
  • President Frankenfeld was able to speak with Marty Hodapp on Friday evening and Marty shared that there was not enough new information.
  • An FAQ section on the AFM website has been taken down.
  • President Frankenfeld reminded everyone that the letter was to make sure that no one was blindsided should something happen. The fund currently sits at 2.1 billion. Should the fund reach a point considered “critical and declining” there might be cuts.
  • The pension fund has a fiscal year of April 1 to March 31 and we will need to wait and see what the audit declares. It may be June or July before any news can be shared.

 

General Information

  • Taft museum concert still needs to be filled. President Frankenfeld is waiting to hear from Dan Grantham

II. CSO
