The Board voted to amend the Request for Proposals for Investment Consulting Services and make it a “preference” that respondents have experience with Massachusetts Public Funds clients, rather than a “requirement” as initially included in the RFP. The Board then voted to extend the deadline to November 16, 2007 at 4:00 p.m.

The Board received the final copy of the January 1, 2007 bi-annual Actuarial Valuation. It was submitted to the Public Employee Retirement Administration Commission, and approval of the funding schedule has been received.
