REPORT TO THE BOARD OF FIRE AND POLICE PENSION COMMISSIONERS

DATE: MAY 16, 2019 ITEM: A.2 FROM: RAYMOND P. CIRANNA, GENERAL MANAGER SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF THE LAPRA AND UFLAC HMO HEALTH PLANS ELIGIBLE FOR

SUBSIDY AND POSSIBLE BOARD ACTION

RECOMMENDATION That the Board: 1) Adopt the attached resolution approving the Anthem Blue Cross CaliforniaCare Plus HMO health plan administered by Los Angeles Police Relief Association (LAPRA) as a suitable plan eligible for the subsidy program from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020; and, 2) Adopt the attached resolutions approving the Anthem Blue Cross Select HMO, Anthem Blue Cross VIVITY HMO, and Anthem Medicare Advantage HMO health plans administered by United Firefighters of Los Angeles City (UFLAC) as suitable plans eligible for the subsidy program from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019. BACKGROUND LAPRA and UFLAC have worked with LAFPP for many years to provide outstanding service and health benefits to retired firefighters, police officers and their families. On October 18 and November 1, 2018, the Board approved LAFPP contracts with UFLAC and LAPRA, respectively, to continue administering retiree health and dental plans on behalf of LAFPP pensioners. Under the terms of the contracts, per Article 3.2, LAPRA and UFLAC agreed to present annually to the Board at least sixty (60) days prior to the start of the Plan year the following:

i. An annual report to LAFPP regarding health plan provisions, member demographic data, cost trend information, and cost reimbursement.

ii. Plan design, premium and administrative fee changes regarding their plans. iii. Open enrollment materials for the upcoming plan year.

On April 18, 2019, LAPRA and UFLAC representatives provided an annual report to the Board which outlined their respective health and dental plans and highlighted changes for the coming plan year. Since a presentation by UFLAC was not feasible prior to their calendar year renewal in January, their presentation was included with the April 18th reports.

Board Report Page 2 May 16, 2019

DISCUSSION LAPRA LAPRA administers one Anthem Blue Cross HMO health plan, which utilizes the CaliforniaCare Plus network. This plan is available to all Active and Retired Los Angeles City police officers and is also available to retired sworn Airport and Port police officers. Notable changes for the HMO plan were made between 2016-2018 including increased out-of-pocket maximums and copays, as well as the implementation of the mandatory generic provision for pharmaceuticals where the member pays the cost difference between the brand and generic drug, if a generic equivalent is available. There were no changes to the HMO plan benefits for the 2019-2020 plan year. The premiums for this plan will decrease across all levels by an average of 10%, effective July 1, 2019. The chart below includes the five plan codes with the highest rates of enrollment. There are currently 714 members enrolled in LAPRA’s Anthem Blue Cross HMO health plan. The administrative fee is $7.00 per month, per member.

UFLAC UFLAC offers three HMO plans through Anthem: Anthem Blue Cross Select HMO, Anthem Blue Cross VIVITY HMO, and Anthem Medicare Advantage HMO. Active and Retired Los Angeles City firefighters, as well as LAFPP members who have retired from the Harbor and Airport Departments have access to UFLAC health plans. UFLAC’s new Medicare Advantage HMO was approved by the Board as a suitable plan on October 18, 2018. UFLAC’s most notable changes for the 2019 plan year are the closing of the VIVITY HMO plan to new enrollees and the offering of the new Medicare Advantage HMO plan. The Medicare Advantage HMO plan offers Medicare-eligible members and their dependents a health plan option through UFLAC that is much less expensive than their other options. Although the VIVITY HMO plan is no longer available through open enrollment, LAFPP will work with UFLAC to migrate current enrollees (total of 3) to one of the other available plans. Overall, premiums for UFLAC’s Select HMO and VIVITY HMO plans have increased by approximately 6%, effective January 1, 2019. The charts below provide the 2018 and 2019 premiums for the most enrolled UFLAC HMO plans. The 2019 plan year is the first year UFLAC is offering the Medicare Advantage HMO, therefore, premium changes are not applicable. UFLAC currently has 53 members enrolled in its Blue Cross HMO, 3 members enrolled in the VIVITY HMO (which is now closed to new enrollees), and no members yet enrolled in the Medicare Advantage HMO. Administrative fees for UFLAC’s health plans are $22.00 per month, per member.

Benefit Levels LAPRA’s HMO plan is structured with generally lower premiums, especially for the single-party Medicare population. This plan includes $20 copays for office visits and urgent care but covers several services at 100%, such as inpatient hospital stays, outpatient surgeries, and labs and x-rays. UFLAC’s HMO plans generally have higher premiums but have set copays for most services. Additionally, UFLAC’s Select HMO has lower copays of $10 for office visits and urgent care. Both LAPRA and UFLAC’s Anthem HMO plans include access to wellness programs that provide gym memberships and health reminders. The benefits provided by LAPRA and UFLAC are comparable and both provide members access to Anthem’s vast network of providers. A detailed benefits chart has been included for comparison. (Attachment 1) Plan Approval As Board-approved health plan administrators, both LAPRA and UFLAC provided the required plan information to LAFPP’s health consultant. Due to the size of UFLAC’s medical plan enrollment, no claims data was available for USI to review. Although complete claims information can provide for a more accurate analysis, USI was able to validate each Administrator’s premium rate renewal based on the information provided. On May 2, 2019, USI presented its rate renewal validation of LAPRA and UFLAC health plans to the Board. USI found that although UFLAC’s HMO plan premiums increased, the plan renewal at approximately 5% was still lower than USI’s HMO trend rate of 7.4%. LAPRA was also under USI’s projected decrease of -9% and implemented an overall average -9.95% decrease in their rates. Attachment 2 provides a comparison of LAFPP’s premium

cost share among the most common Board-approved HMO plans. LAPRA and UFLAC’s single- and two-party non-Medicare plans will be fully subsidized for the 2019-2020 plan year, as well as the UFLAC Select and VIVITY HMO non-Medicare family plans. Attachment 3 outlines the premium cost for each plan combination within the HMO health plans. It is noted that in response to the Board’s prior request, both UFLAC and LAPRA have offered new Medicare Advantage HMO plans as a less expensive option for members (LAPRA's new Medicare Advantage HMO plan was approved by the Board on April 4, 2019.). As such, staff recommends the following HMO health plans to be suitable and should be approved as indicated in the attached resolutions:

• LAPRA Anthem Blue Cross CaliforniaCare Plus HMO

• UFLAC Anthem Blue Cross Select HMO

• UFLAC Anthem Blue Cross VIVITY HMO

• UFLAC Anthem Medicare Advantage HMO

Los Angeles, CA 90013

(213) 279-3000

REPORT TO THE BOARD OF FIRE AND POLICE PENSION COMMISSIONERS

DATE: MAY 16, 2019 ITEM: A.3 FROM: RAYMOND P. CIRANNA, GENERAL MANAGER SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF THE LAPRA AND LAFRA KAISER PERMANENTE HEALTH

PLANS ELIGIBLE FOR SUBSIDY AND POSSIBLE BOARD ACTION

RECOMMENDATION That the Board: 1. Adopt the attached resolutions approving the Kaiser Permanente HMO and Kaiser Senior

Advantage health plans administered by Los Angeles Firemen’s Relief Association (LAFRA) as suitable plans eligible for the subsidy program from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020; and

2. Adopt the attached resolutions approving the Kaiser Permanente HMO and Kaiser Senior

Advantage health plans administered by Los Angeles Police Relief Association (LAPRA) as suitable plans eligible for the subsidy program from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.

BACKGROUND LAPRA and LAFRA have worked with LAFPP for many years providing outstanding service and benefits to retired firefighters, police officers and their families. On October 18, 2018, LAFPP entered into a contract with LAFRA to continue providing health plan administration services. Then on November 1, 2018, LAFPP entered into a similar contract with LAPRA. Under the terms of the contracts, per Article 3.2, LAPRA and LAFRA agreed to present annually to the Board at least sixty (60) days prior to the start of the Plan year the following:

i. An annual report to LAFPP regarding health plan provisions, member demographic data, cost trend information, and cost reimbursement.

ii. Plan design, premium and administrative fee changes regarding their plans. iii. Open enrollment materials for the upcoming plan year.

On April 18, 2019, LAFRA and LAPRA representatives provided an annual report to the Board which outlined their respective health plans and highlighted changes for the coming plan year. DISCUSSION Plan designs for the LAPRA and LAFRA Kaiser plans will remain the same for 2019-2020. Overall, premiums have increased at a combined rate of approximately 5% and will be effective July 1, 2019.

Board Report Page 2 May 16, 2019

LAFRA LAFRA’s Kaiser premiums have increased at an overall average rate of 7%. (Attachment 1) The administrative fee will remain the same at $10.00 per member, per month, and is included in the premium. There are 361 pensioners enrolled in LAFRA’s Kaiser plans (as of the February 2019 pension roll). Currently, only Fire retirees and their survivors are eligible to enroll in this Kaiser plan. The chart below shows a comparison of premiums for the most commonly enrolled plans.

LAFRA Kaiser HMO 7/1/18

Monthly Premium

7/1/19 Monthly Premium

Single (Non-Medicare) $677.00 $757.87

2-Party (Non-Medicare) $1,344.00 $1,487.89

Family (Non-Medicare) $1,697.48 $1,874.79

Member ABD, Spouse None (Medicare) $934.46 $1,019.55

Member & Spouse ABD (Medicare) $524.92 $551.21

LAPRA LAPRA’s new Kaiser rates have increased approximately 5% overall. (Attachment 1) The premiums also include an administrative fee (currently $5.00 per member, per month), which will increase to $7.00 per member, per month starting July 1, 2019. There are 1,440 pensioners enrolled in LAPRA’s Kaiser plans (as of the February 2019 pension roll). LAPRA’s Kaiser plans will continue to be open to all retired sworn Airport, Port, and Los Angeles City police officers. The chart below shows a comparison of premiums for the most commonly enrolled plans.

LAPRA Kaiser HMO 7/1/18

Monthly Premium

7/1/19 Monthly Premium

Single (Non-Medicare) $630.19 $664.23

2-Party (Non-Medicare) $1,231.45 $1,296.69

Family (Non-Medicare) $1,444.01 $1,520.27

Member ABD, Spouse None (Medicare) $838.83 $887.35

Member & Spouse ABD (Medicare) $452.25 $484.37

Benefit Levels The LAPRA and LAFRA Kaiser plans provide similar benefits at varying levels. (Attachment 2) Both plans include 100% coverage for routine physicals, hospitalization, diagnostic x-rays and lab tests. Both Kaiser plans also waive the emergency room co-pay if the patient is admitted to the hospital. When comparing the two groups, the LAPRA Kaiser plan has lower premiums with higher copays ($15 for most services); whereas the LAFRA Kaiser plan has higher premiums and lower copays ($10 for most services). Additionally, LAPRA medical plan enrollees are able to participate in LAPRA’s wellness program. LAFRA will expand access to their wellness program to include Kaiser enrollees, effective July 1, 2019. (Previously, LAFRA’s wellness program was only available to retirees who were enrolled in their PPO health plan.)

Board Report Page 3 May 16, 2019

Plan Approval On May 2, 2019, LAFPP’s health plan consultant, USI, presented their analyses of LAPRA and LAFRA’s Kaiser plans based on information provided by the Associations. According to USI, the overall increase in LAPRA premiums was expected to be higher than Kaiser’s annual trend of 5%, given the increased utilization for inpatient admissions, outpatient visits and emergency room claims. USI also acknowledged LAFRA’s Kaiser premium increases due to the increased cost of the pooled community. Overall, USI determined the LAPRA and LAFRA Kaiser renewals to be reasonable. LAFPP is able to fully subsidize almost all of the commonly enrolled Kaiser plans if a member has 25 years of service and a non-frozen subsidy. (Attachment 3) Of the LAFPP members enrolled in Board-approved health plans, 16.9% are currently participating in a Kaiser plan. Based on the information presented to the Board, staff recommends that both LAPRA and LAFRA Kaiser plans are suitable for the health subsidy program.

REPORT TO THE BOARD OF FIRE AND POLICE PENSION COMMISSIONERS

DATE: MAY 16, 2019 ITEM: A.4 FROM: RAYMOND P. CIRANNA, GENERAL MANAGER SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF LAPRA DENTAL PLANS AND POSSIBLE BOARD ACTION

RECOMMENDATION That the Board adopt the attached resolutions (Attachments 1-2) approving the Anthem Blue Cross DPPO and DHMO dental plans administered by Los Angeles Police Relief Association (LAPRA) as suitable plans eligible for the subsidy program effective July 1, 2019. BACKGROUND LAPRA and LAFPP have worked well together for many years to provide outstanding service and dental benefits to retired police officers and their families. On November 1, 2018, LAFPP entered into a contract with LAPRA to continue administering retiree dental (and health) plans on behalf of LAFPP pensioners. Under the terms of the contract, per Section 3.0, Article 3.2, LAPRA agreed to present annually to the Board at least sixty (60) days prior to the start of the Plan year the following: i. An annual report to LAFPP regarding dental plan provisions, member demographic data, cost trend information, and cost reimbursement. ii. Plan design, premium and administrative fee changes regarding its dental plans. iii. Open enrollment materials for the upcoming plan year. On April 18, 2019, LAPRA representatives provided an annual report to the Board which outlined their dental plans and highlighted changes for the coming plan year. DISCUSSION Two dental plans are administered by LAPRA through the Anthem Blue Cross network: Anthem Blue Cross DPPO and Anthem Blue Cross DHMO. Both plans are open to all retired Los Angeles City police officers, including sworn Airport and Port police officers. No changes to the dental plan designs were presented for the coming year, though there were modest changes to the premiums. The DPPO plan will increase by $0.88 per month for the single-party plan; $1.30 per month for the 2-party plan; and $1.40 per month for the family plan. The DHMO rates will decrease by $0.88 per month/single-party; $1.83 per month/2-party; and $2.83 per month/family. (See chart below for new rates.)

DEPARTMENT OF FIRE AND POLICE PENSIONS 701 E. 3rd Street, Suite 200

Los Angeles, CA 90013

(213) 279-3000

REPORT TO THE BOARD OF FIRE AND POLICE PENSION COMMISSIONERS

DATE: MAY 16, 2019 ITEM: A.5 FROM: RAYMOND P. CIRANNA, GENERAL MANAGER SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF THE LAPRA, LAFRA, AND UFLAC PPO HEALTH PLANS

ELIGIBLE FOR SUBSIDY AND POSSIBLE BOARD ACTION

RECOMMENDATION That the Board: 1. Adopt the attached resolution approving the Fire Medical PPO health plan, administered by Los

Angeles Firemen’s Relief Association (LAFRA) as a suitable plan eligible for the subsidy program from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020;

2. Adopt the attached resolution approving the Anthem Blue Cross PPO health plan, administered

by Los Angeles Police Relief Association (LAPRA) as a suitable plan eligible for the subsidy program from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020; and

3. Adopt the attached resolutions approving the Anthem Blue Cross PPO, High Deductible Health

Plan (HDHP) PPO, and Medicare Advantage PPO health plans, administered by United Firefighters of Los Angeles City (UFLAC) as suitable plans eligible for the subsidy program, from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.

BACKGROUND LAFRA, LAPRA and UFLAC have worked with LAFPP for many years to provide outstanding service and health benefits to retired firefighters, police officers and their families. As of November 1, 2018, the Board approved LAFPP contracts with LAFRA, LAPRA and UFLAC to continue administering retiree health and/or dental plans on behalf of LAFPP pensioners. Under the terms of the contracts, per Article 3.2, each health plan administrator agreed to present annually to the Board at least sixty (60) days prior to the start of the Plan year the following:

i. An annual report to LAFPP regarding health plan provisions, member demographic data, cost trend information, and cost reimbursement.

ii. Plan design, premium and administrative fee changes regarding their plans. iii. Open enrollment materials for the upcoming plan year.

On April 18, 2019, LAFRA, LAPRA and UFLAC representatives provided an annual report to the Board which outlined their respective health and dental plans and highlighted changes for the coming plan year. Since a presentation by UFLAC was not possible prior to their calendar year renewal in January, their presentation was included with the April 18th reports.

Board Report Page 2 May 16, 2019

DISCUSSION There are currently five Board-approved PPO health plans. The following information will provide an overview of enrollment, premiums, benefit levels, and rate renewal findings for the Board’s determination of each plan’s suitability to be eligible for health subsidies. LAFRA LAFRA administers the self-funded Fire Medical PPO plan, to which all Fire retirees have access. This past year, the LAFRA Board of Trustees enacted a policy change that allows all retired Los Angeles City firefighters to enroll in the PPO plan regardless of membership status. There are approximately 2,689 LAFPP pensioners enrolled in the Fire Medical PPO plan. There are two benefit level changes for the plan year beginning on July 1, 2019. The prescription drug out-of-pocket maximum will increase from $5,350 individual/$10,700 family to $5,900 individual/$11,800 family. Additionally, the Vision Service Plan basic lens benefit has been expanded to include a standard progressive lens. The LAFRA Wellness Program was implemented on July 1, 2018. As a self-funded plan, LAFRA has more flexibility in terms of benefit levels and rate setting. Although, LAFRA has several cost containment measures in place, representatives reported an increase in combined medical and prescription claims this past year. Effective July 1, 2019, LAFRA’s negotiated rates are increasing at an overall rate of 6.9 %. (Attachment 1) Below is a chart that shows the current rates for the most commonly enrolled health plans.

Fire Medical PPO 7/1/18

7/1/19 Monthly Premium

Single (Non-Medicare) $958.12 $1,023.94

2-Party (Non-Medicare) $1,551.22 $1,658.56

Family (Non-Medicare) $1,963.93 $2,100.16

Member ABD, Spouse None (Medicare) $1,219.22 $1,303.32

Member & Spouse ABD (Medicare) $887.22 $948.08

Per the current contract, LAFRA will assess an administrative fee that is based on a percentage of their health plan administration costs. It is anticipated that the administrative fee will be approximately $25.64 per member, per month, through July 1, 2020. LAPRA LAPRA administers the fully insured Anthem Blue Cross PPO plan, which is available to all Active and Retired Los Angeles City police officers and is also available to retired sworn Airport and Port police officers. There are approximately 5,278 LAFPP pensioners enrolled in the LAPRA PPO plan. In an effort to contain costs, several plan design changes were implemented between 2016 and 2018. There will be one additional change beginning July 1; the Body Scan benefit is increasing from $250 per year to $500 every other year. Overall, LAPRA’s negotiated PPO rates are

decreasing at an average rate of 1.7 %. (Attachment 1) The chart below illustrates the rates for the five most commonly enrolled coverage levels and the new rates effective July 1, 2019.

Anthem Blue Cross PPO 7/1/18

Member ABD, Spouse None (Medicare) $1,791.21 $1,764.61

Member & Spouse ABD (Medicare) $1,418.21 $1,397.61

As stipulated in the contract, LAPRA premiums include a monthly administrative fee. Effective July 1, 2019, the administrative fee will increase by $2.00 for a total of $7.00 per member, per month. UFLAC UFLAC administers an Anthem Blue Cross PPO, HDHP PPO, and Medicare Advantage PPO plans, which are all fully insured. Sworn retirees of the Fire, Harbor, and Airport Departments are eligible to enroll in the health plans administered by UFLAC. There are approximately 86 members enrolled in the PPO plan, 6 members enrolled in the HDHP PPO plan, and 1 member enrolled in the Medicare Advantage PPO plan. As of January 1, 2019, the PPO plan is closed to new retirees and the HDHP PPO plan is no longer available to Medicare enrollees. UFLAC plans operate on a calendar year basis. As such, there are no plan design changes to report at this time. However, UFLAC representatives did report that premiums increased due to medical trend. Overall, UFLAC PPO premiums have increased at an average rate of 1.25%. (Attachment 1) The charts below provide the current and prior year premiums for each plan.

Monthly Premium

Member & Spouse ABD (Medicare) $943.96

ULAC’s administrative fee of $22 per member, per month, remains unchanged and per the current contract will be incorporated into the premiums for each plan. Benefit Levels The benefits provided in each plan are similar. LAFRA and UFLAC enrollees have access to the Anthem Prudent Buyer network, whereas the LAPRA plan provides access to the Anthem Blue Cross PPO network. Overall, the LAFRA PPO plan provides the richest benefit levels among most services, requiring a copay of $15 for most services that are not fully covered. LAPRA PPO and UFLAC PPO and HDHP PPO plans require similar coinsurance of 10% for most services. Whereas the UFLAC Medicare Advantage PPO requires a copay of $0 to $25 depending on the service after a $100 deductible is met. Each PPO plan provides in-network and out-of-network prescription benefits. A detailed benefits comparison is provided in Attachment 2 for the Board’s reference. Rate Analysis On May 2, 2019, LAFPP’s health consultant, USI, presented their analysis of the provided claims data and subsequent rate renewal validation of the plans to the Board. USI determined that the LAFRA rate renewal is favorable. Due to enrollment size, UFLAC financial information was not available, however, USI found that the UFLAC rate renewal was fair when compared to PPO medical trend. On the other hand, USI was not immediately able to validate the LAPRA rate renewal. With additional information provided by LAPRA, USI was able to reach a rate renewal decrease of 2.9 %, which was 1.25% lower than LAPRA’s premium decrease. Plan Approval As Board-approved health plan administrators, LAFRA, LAPRA, and UFLAC each provided the Board with a requisite annual report on their respective plan activities and renewals. USI has validated the rate renewals for LAFRA and UFLAC. USI was able to reconcile most of the difference in renewal calculations for the LAPRA PPO premiums. Each plan administrator has reported the implementation of various cost containment efforts, particularly the new LAPRA and UFLAC Medicare Advantage Plans which have lower premiums compared to other plan offerings. LAFPP is able to fully subsidize all single-party non-Medicare PPO plans, as well as some multi-party plans offered by LAFRA and UFLAC. (Attachment 3) Additionally, all members enrolled in a LAFRA, LAPRA, or UFLAC plan have access to a wellness program benefit. As such, staff recommends that the following PPO health plans are suitable for the health subsidy program:

• LAFRA Fire Medical PPO

• LAPRA Anthem Blue Cross PPO

• UFLAC Anthem Blue Cross PPO

• UFLAC Anthem Blue Cross HDHP PPO

• UFLAC Anthem Medicare Advantage PPO

REPORT TO THE BOARD OF FIRE AND POLICE PENSION COMMISSIONERS

DATE: MAY 16, 2019 ITEM: A.6 FROM: RAYMOND P. CIRANNA, GENERAL MANAGER SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF TRAVEL AUTHORITY (CIRANNA AND SALAZAR) – IFEBP, 65TH

ANNUAL EMPLOYEE BENEFITS CONFERENCE

RECOMMENDATION That the Board approve: 1) Raymond Ciranna and Joseph Salazar to attend the International Foundation of Employee

Benefit Plans (IFEBP), 65th Annual Employee Benefits Conference on October 20-23, 2019 at San Diego, CA (October 20th is a travel day);

2) The use of current fiscal year funds (FY19) to pay the registration fee only, and acknowledge this is not consistent with the Controller’s Office Policy since the travel will occur next fiscal year (FY20); and,

3) The use of next fiscal year funds (FY20) to pay the balance of the travel, consistent with the

Controller’s Office Policy. DISCUSSION If approved, Raymond Ciranna and Joseph Salazar will attend the following conference: Conference: 65th Annual Employee Benefits Conference Sponsor: International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans Dates: October 20-23, 2019 Mode of Transportation: Personal vehicle This conference is well attended and conference hotel accommodations generally sell out well in advance of the conference dates. As such, approving the use of current Fiscal Year 2018-19 (FY19) funds to pay for the registration fees would allow staff to reserve conference hotel accommodations before the next Fiscal Year 2019-20 (FY20) begins. (The registration fee includes a $400.00 deposit for the hotel accommodations.) In July 2014, the City Controller delegated almost all travel payment functions to City Departments, including LAFPP, which has reduced the processing time for travel reimbursements. With this delegation, however, it is incumbent upon staff to ensure the payments are processed pursuant to the LAFPP adopted travel policies and the Controller’s expenditures policies. Since using FY19 funds to pay for travel that will occur in FY20 is not consistent with the Controller’s expenditures

Board Report Page 2 May 16, 2019

policy, staff is recommending the Board approve this action separately in the event the City Controller audits the administration of LAFPP’s travel expenditures in the future. This separate Board approval will ensure using funds in this manner does not result in a non-compliance Finding by the Controller’s Office during audit. The Board’s Travel Policy is silent on this funding issue, but staff believes using funds in this manner is appropriate in this situation. BUDGET Sufficient funds are available in the Fiscal Year 2018-19 Travel Account for the registration fee. Listed below is an estimated cost to travel: Estimated cost for Raymond Ciranna: Registration $1,595.00 Hotel 1,090.98 Per Diem 213.00 Incidentals (hotel parking) 105.00 TOTAL $3,003.98 Estimated cost for Joseph Salazar: Registration $1,595.00 Hotel 719.40 Per Diem 213.00 Incidentals (mileage, hotel parking) 204.10 TOTAL $2,731.50 POLICY If approved by the Board, the proposed expenditures would be within the Board’s Travel and Education Policy. The Board separately approving the use of funds that cross fiscal years will ensure this will not result in a non-compliance Finding in a City Controller audit. Information regarding the conference is contained in the attached 2019 agenda.

REPORT TO THE BOARD OF FIRE AND POLICE PENSION COMMISSIONERS DATE: May 16, 2019 ITEM: A.7 FROM: RAYMOND P. CIRANNA, GENERAL MANAGER SUBJECT: PRESENTATIONS BY FINALIST CANDIDATES FOR THE US SMALL CAP CORE

EQUITY SEARCH AND POSSIBLE BOARD ACTION

RECOMMENDATION That the Board:

1. Conduct interviews for the six finalist candidates for the US Small Cap Core equity search; and

2. Select one to two finalist candidates to manage the US Small Cap Core mandate, subject to fee negotiations by Staff.

BACKGROUND The Board approved a search for US Small Cap Core equity managers at the October 18, 2018 meeting with the intent to replace an underperforming manager. The proposed search was designed to split the approximately $400 million that the underperforming manager has under management between two (2) strategies and include a passive S&P 600 Index as an investment option. At the December 20, 2018 meeting the Board approved the minimum qualifications criteria, the qualitative evaluation characteristics and the search procedures. Based on the minimum qualification criteria, the universe of 694 managers was screened down to 109 managers. The group of 109 managers were evaluated for product, volatility and performance. Ten (10) semi-finalists passed the additional screens and were sent comprehensive questionnaires. After reviewing the questionnaires, Staff and RVK conducted phone interviews to better understand the semi-finalists’ firms, teams, strategy, product and fees. Staff and RVK chose six (6) out of the ten (10) firms that would provide a good fit to the LAFPP US Small Cap Core portfolio. At the April 4, 2019 meeting Staff and RVK recommended six (6) firms for interview and sought the Board’s direction on the inclusion of the S&P 600 Index. The Board approved all six (6) firms for interview and a partial allocation to the S&P 600 passive index. The Board has the option to hire more than one active manager.

4) Pension Administration System – PARIS went live in January and has successfully processed four monthly Pension Rolls. Staff continues to work with the vendor to address issues and needed enhancements, and on functionality that was intentionally deferred until after the Go-Live implementation. Additionally, staff continues to work on the next phases of the project which are:

• Phase 4C – Member Self-Service: Three builds for this phase have been received and staff continues to test this functionality, and to refine the security requirements for online self-service registration. Staff expects to implement the web-portal in Spring 2019 that will again allow for member self-service.

• Phase 4B – Document Imaging and Workflow Implementation: The General Manager has pushed back this final phase of the project from June 30, 2019 to December 31, 2019. This will allow the project team to focus on critical fixes and reporting needs in the core system that was delivered as part of Phase 4A, and to focus on timely deployment of Phase 4C.

UPDATED PROJECTS

MyLAFPP REDESIGN As part of the implementation of our new pension administration system, PARIS, Staff is working with the consultant on the redesign of MyLAFPP, our member self-service web portal. The redesign will include enhanced features and more self-service options for members. The current MyLAFPP site was disabled beginning January 1, 2019. The anticipated go-live date for the new MyLAFPP is Spring 2019. This information has been communicated to all members through newsletters, social media, and the website. [UPDATE: Build 4 was delivered on April 29, 2019. Staff continues to test the functionality of the site and will test the registration process in the first week of May. Smaller builds will be delivered almost weekly as we get closer to the launch date.]

UNCHANGED PROJECTS ACTUARIAL AUDIT On May 3, 2018, the Board selected Segal Consulting to provide actuarial consulting services under a new three-year contract term. Segal has served as the Plan’s actuary since 2006 and Board policy requires that an actuarial audit be conducted every 5-7 years, unless the Plan has recently appointed, or is about to appoint, a new actuary around the time an actuarial audit is scheduled to be performed. The last actuarial audit was completed in November 2013. At the same May Board meeting, Milliman, Inc. was selected to conduct the next actuarial audit. Milliman will perform a full replication of the June 30, 2018 actuarial valuation performed by Segal to assure the actuarial condition of the Plan is accurately measured. They will also complete a thorough review of the assumptions to confirm that they are appropriate and reasonable, and will verify that the data and methods used are reasonable. As part of the audit, Staff has provided Milliman with the data files used by Segal for the June 30, 2018 valuation. The results of the actuarial audit are expected to be presented to the Board in June 2019.

UPDATED PROJECTS

PENSION ADMINISTRATION BENCHMARKING

The Board authorized CEM Benchmarking, Inc. (Cost Effectiveness Measurement) to

perform an objective benchmarking analysis of the Plan’s performance and administrative

cost metrics, which is a project in support of Goal IV (Pursue Operational Efficiencies) of

the FY 2018-19 Business Plan. The purpose of benchmarking is to measure the Plan’s

service levels and practices against our peers to gain a better understanding of our

performance and administrative cost per member. This analysis will help the Board and

staff determine if there are opportunities to become more efficient in the organization.

Staff completed and submitted CEM’s pension administration survey in March.

[UPDATE: Staff continues to work with CEM to finalize the benchmarking study. The

results will be presented to the Board on June 6, 2019.]

WORKFORCE SUCCESSION PLANNING

The Succession Planning Team (SPT) has met in February and determined that a

department-wide survey would be distributed in mid-March 2019 to seek input on levels

of interest for different types of workforce development programs. The SPT has met in

late March to review the survey results which leaned toward a mentorship and cross-

training program. The current succession plans (for General Manager, Chief Investment

Officer, and Assistant General Manager positions) have been distributed to executive

management for final updates by June.

[UPDATE: The Succession Planning Team met in late April to discuss informal feedback

received since the survey and clarify the scope of each program under consideration.

The Team has made a more definitive recommendation to proceed with the cross-training

program on a limited basis. The pilot program which is intended for implementation in FY

19-20, will involve positions/employees from two sections receiving cross training from

two other sections, where the work learned will be sequential.]

2019 POLICE DEPARTMENT RETIRED MEMBER BOARD ELECTION

LAFPP provides for the election of employee and retired Board members in accordance

with the City Charter, Los Angeles Administrative Code (LAAC), Division 23, Chapter 5,

Articles 5 and 5.5, and Board rules. On February 7, 2019, the Board authorized staff to

administer the 2019 Police Department Retired Member Board Election scheduled for

April 23, 2019.

[UPDATE: The Office of the City Clerk conducted the election on April 23, 2019. Ballot

counting took place at the Office of the City Clerk – Election Division in the presence of

observers designated by each candidate on April 25, 2019. As no candidate received a

majority of the votes cast, the Office of the City Clerk, in accordance with the Los Angeles

Administrative Code, has scheduled to conduct a runoff election on Friday, May 31, 2019

between the two candidates receiving the highest number of votes cast. The candidates

who received the highest number of votes are Garrett W. Zimmon (49.4% of votes cast)

and Don Keith (21.9% of votes cast). Below are some key dates for the runoff election.]

PENSION ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM REPLACEMENT

The Board awarded the contract to Conduent (formerly Xerox) on May 21, 2015 and implementation of the project began in July 2015. The new system that is being developed was later named PARIS (Pension and Retirement Information System). For the last couple of years, staff has worked with the Conduent team to setup the hosting environment, confirm and document the various specifications for PARIS, and deliver in phases, newly developed system functionality for testing and validation by LAFPP staff. The major system functionalities delivered include Core Calculations for Service Retirement, DROP, Disability, and Terminations as well as Secondary Calculations involving Service Purchases, Enrollment, Deaths, and QDROs. All discrepancies and defects were logged and addressed for resolution and re-testing.

[UPDATE: PARIS has successfully processed four monthly Pension Rolls since it went

Live in January. The latest one in April was more challenging than usual as staff had to

run an emergency Off-Cycle Pension Roll to correct a few disbursement issues caused

by a system error. A new Post Support build (Build 3) was recently delivered to address

additional functional issues and needed enhancements. In addition, the delivered build

was also released on a newer platform version, hence requiring Staff to perform parallel

testing between the current version and the newly released version for the May Pension

Roll. High priority reports for the Quarterly Tax as well as for Pension Reconciliation are

still being developed and refined by our vendor and are expected to be delivered in the

upcoming Post Support builds.

ADMINISTRATIVE OPERATIONS DIVISION

The Project Team continues to work on functionality that was intentionally deferred until

after the Phase 4A Go-Live implementation. These items are still planned to be completed

over the next few months. Additionally, staff continues to work on the next phases of the

project which are:

• Phase 4C – Member Self-Service: A new Phase 4C build (Build 4) was recently released

which included functionality for member Online Registration and staff continues to test

this functionality. Since the Project Team’s focus has been on ensuring the timely

deployment of Phase 4C, staff still expects to implement the member self-serve web

portal by Spring 2019.

• Phase 4B – Document Imaging Integration and Workflow Implementation: Since the

project team’s focus is on critical fixes and reporting needs for Phase 4A as well as the

timely deployment of Phase 4C, this phase of the project is still expected to be

implemented by December 31, 2019.]

UNCHANGED PROJECTS

CREATION OF TWO NEW CLASSIFICATIONS – BENEFITS ANALYST & SENIOR BENEFITS ANALYST LAFPP began the effort to create two new classifications to bridge the gap between the

existing classifications of Benefits Specialist and Chief Benefits Analyst. This effort is

consistent with Goal 5 of the 2019-21 Three-Year Strategic Plan, Build and Support A

Talented Workforce, by establishing a career ladder in the Benefits series that would

provide advancement opportunity and help retain our employees. On September 27,

2018, the Board of Civil Service Commissioners officially approved the creation of the

new classes and class specifications for Benefits Analyst (Class Code 9108) and Senior

Benefits Analyst (Class Code 9109). On December 6, 2018, the Personnel Department

notified the Office of the City Administrative Officer (CAO) of the creation and requested

that they establish a salary for the new classes. CAO Analyst is in the process of

reviewing requests from departments for salary setting for both classifications.

PERFORMANCE METRICS As part of the Mayor’s “Back to Basics” philosophy, the Mayor directed departments to submit performance metrics that will measure the effectiveness of the departments in key areas. Monthly, staff submits performance metrics and business plan project updates to Mayoral staff including data in following areas: payment of pension payments; disability applications; customer satisfaction; contractor disclosure; and investment benchmarks.

In addition, the General Manager has expanded the use of performance metrics to internally measure and track performance and assist management decision making, taking into consideration resource requirements needed to compile and analyze the data. These internal metrics are reviewed by management on a regular basis.

In 2017-18, Management reviewed its internal performance metrics and made some changes to its metrics for 2018-19 relating to Investments' due diligence reviews, DocuShare, and certain elements of Pension Administration operations. Staff will continue to meet regularly to review metrics performance and will continue to submit the Mayor’s performance metrics.

1Marketing Cessation: The purpose of this policy is to prevent, and avoid the appearance of, undue influence on the Board or any of its members in the award of all Investments contracts. In accordance

with Section 9.0 of the Investment Policy, from the time the search begins with the Board’s approval of the minimum criteria for the search until the search ends with the selection of the firm(s) to receive

the contract(s), all direct marketing contact with firms that meet the search criteria will be limited to meetings with the Consultant, information sent to the Consultant or Department, questions about the

search directed to the Staff or Consultant, one meeting at the Department’s office with Staff and any site visits. The Board members, Department Staff or Consultant will accept no entertainment or gifts

of any kind from any firm qualifying for the search. This policy does not prohibit contact with potential interview candidates at group social events, educational seminars, conferences, or charitable events

so long as there is no direct marketing.

During the three months prior to the renewal of a contract with a firm currently under contract, the Board Members, Department Staff and Consultant will accept no entertainment or gifts from that firm

until the contract has been renewed or terminated by the Board. Firms who currently have contracts with the Los Angeles Fire and Police Pension System are allowed to continue contact related to the

existing contract with Staff and Consultant.

2Hedge Funds do not have contracts like our other managers. They have limited partnership agreements that do not have a fixed expiration date. They are on this list to include them in our regular three-

year manager review process.

*Expired contracts are listed in red. Expired investments contracts will remain on the list if the marketing cessation period is active and until a new contract is awarded.
