ITEM 3 –.DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON COMMITTEE REPORTS
a. Audit: Audit Committee Chairman Dr. Winters said the financial statement audit will be
presented later in this meeting.
b. Governance: Governance Committee Chairman Mr. Kellogg had nothing to report this
month.
ITEM 4 – DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON FY 2019 ACTUARIAL REPORT:
Ryan Falls of Gabriel Roeder Smith said he will give two presentations. The first is TRS’ annual
actuarial valuation report for FY 2019 and the second is the experience study. He pointed out the
slight changes from FY 2018 to FY 2019. He said the funding period was 14 years in FY 2018
and remained 14 years in FY 2019 due to investments not meeting expectations of 7.5%. The
greater than expected pay increase to active teachers increased retirement benefits which
increased the system’s obligation. The bigger teacher payroll didn’t cause a negative impact
because it increased contributions and there were fewer retirements than expected. Mr. Falls
reviewed variables to calculate actuarial results; financial reporting; and projections.
The second half of Mr. Fall’s report was presented after Item 5.
ITEM 5 – DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE THE AUDITED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR FY 2019: Vanessa Dutton of Eide Bailly distributed the
bound Audited Financial Statement and required communication for FY 2019. She said they
issued an unmodified, clean opinion. In comparing FY 2019, 2018 and 2017, TRS had an
increase in its net position in FY 2019, but it decreased in comparison to prior years mainly due
to investment income. The rate of return was about 9% FY 2018 and it decreased to just under
5% FY 2019. The Independent Auditor’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
and Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in
Accordance with Government Auditing Standards states the auditor did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control that they consider to be material weaknesses. The one uncorrected
misstatement was in the anticipated management estimate but it is immaterial to the plan overall.
A motion made by Dr. Winters with a second made by Ms. Harris to accept the Audited
Financial Statements for FY 2019 as presented carried by a unanimous voice vote. Trustees
responding were Mr. Boles, Chairman Florence, Mr. Gaddis, Ms. Harris, Mr. Kellogg, Ms.
Manek, Mr. Meyer, Mr. Rector, and Dr. Winters.
ITEM 4 (Continued): Mr. Falls presented slides to explain TRS’ past and upcoming experience
studies which are done every 5 years. He reviewed the purpose of valuation, the funding
equation, how assumptions factor in, the purpose and process of the Experience Study. There
was discussion about various factors used to make assumptions and the time it will take to
complete the experience study.
A motion made by Mr. Kellogg with a second made by Dr. Winters to accept the FY 2019
Actuarial Report as presented carried by a unanimous voice vote. Trustees responding were Mr.

Boles, Chairman Florence, Mr. Gaddis, Ms. Harris, Mr. Kellogg, Ms. Manek, Mr. Meyer, Mr.
Rector, and Dr. Winters.
A break was taken from 10:30 a.m. to 10:52 a.m.
ITEM 6 – DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO ISSUE AN RFP FOR AN
EXTERNAL AUDITOR: TRS Executive Director Tom Spencer explained that this RFP is for
a 5-year contract with the first year subject to renewal for the following 4 years. The State
Auditor and Inspector has the obligation to audit all state agencies, but that doesn’t always
happen. This RFP is a joint proposal by TRS and the SAI. The draft uses the SAI’s language and
is not typical of TRS’ RFP but it contains TRS’ requirements.
A motion made by Dr. Winters with a second made by Mr. Meyer to issue the External Auditor
RFP as presented carried by a unanimous voice vote. Trustees responding were Mr. Boles,
Chairman Florence, Mr. Gaddis, Ms. Harris, Mr. Kellogg, Ms. Manek, Mr. Meyer, Mr. Rector,
and Dr. Winters.
ITEM 7 – DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON ELIGIBILITY OF AND
NOTIFICATION TO A QUALIFYING STATEWIDE ORGANIZATION
REPRESENTING RETIRED EDUCATORS REGARDING APPOINTMENT OF NON-
VOTING TRUSTEE PURSUANT TO 70 O.S. SECTION 17-106(2)(n) AND OAC 715:1-1-
19: TRS General Counsel Sarah Green reminded Trustees that the Board consists of one non-
voting Trustee who is a member of a retirement education association in Oklahoma. Currently
OREA and RPOE alternate calendar years. Typically, the Board votes in October to approve the
alternate organization, RPOE in this case, for the coming calendar year. Ms. Green referred to
the State Statute that provides for the member to sit on this Board, and the TRS rule that states,
“… the entity must have at least two hundred (200) retired educators in its members who are also
members of TRS.” Each year the upcoming organization certifies that they have at least 200
retired members in their membership who are also members of TRS. This year, Mr. Green could
not verify that there are 200 TRS members in RPOE. She recommended, and the Board agreed,
to vote on this in December to give RPOE more time to verify their TRS memberships. If they
cannot do so, a member of OREA will be selected. There was some discussion. No action was
taken.
ITEM 8 – DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON RECOMMENDATION TO
ADOPT DRAFTS OF PROPOSED PERMANENT ADMINISTRATIVE RULES FOR
THE PURPOSE OF SUBMISSION TO THE GOVERNOR AND FOR PUBLIC
COMMENT: 715:1-1-5[AMENDED]; 715:10-1-6[AMENDED]; 715:10-5-7[AMENDED];
715:10-9-3[AMENDED]; ; 715:10-13-15[AMENDED]; 715:10-15-3[AMENDED]; 715-10-
17-5[AMENDED]; 715:10-17-16[AMENDED]: Ms. Green explained that TRS’ Permanent
Rulemaking process started early because she will be out for some time in March. She said most
of the proposed permanent rules were emergency rules with the exception of one new rule. She
reviewed the Rule Impact Statements for each rule and explained the next steps of the Permanent
Rulemaking process.

A motion made by Mr. Meyer with a second made by Mr. Rector to adopt drafts of the proposed
Permanent Administrative Rules as presented carried by a unanimous voice vote. Trustees
responding were Mr. Boles, Chairman Florence, Mr. Gaddis, Ms. Harris, Mr. Kellogg, Ms.
Manek, Mr. Meyer, Mr. Rector, and Dr. Winters.
ITEM 9 – DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO AUTHORIZE EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR AND GENERAL COUNSEL TO NEGOTIATE REDUCTION IN LEASE
SPACE FROM WHITE STAR PETROLEUM IN HARVEY PARKWAY BUILDING TO
FREE UP SPACE FOR POTENTIAL NEW TENANTS AND NEW TRS
HEADQUARTERS: Ms. Green described the authority posted in the Board Policy Manual
related to tenant leases. She reviewed the status of White Star Petroleum’s bankruptcy, their
successor, and other tenants. Amending White Star’s lease would free up space on various floors
in the Harvey Parkway building.
A motion made by Mr. Kellogg with a second made by Mr. Boles to authorize TRS’ Executive
Director and General Counsel to negotiate reduction in lease space from White Star Petroleum in
the Harvey Parkway Building carried by a unanimous voice vote. Trustees responding were Mr.
Boles, Chairman Florence, Mr. Gaddis, Ms. Harris, Mr. Kellogg, Ms. Manek, Mr. Meyer, Mr.
Rector, and Dr. Winters.
ITEM 10 – DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON AGENCY REPORTS:
1. TRS Client Services Director Dixie Moody reviewed her division’s metrics through
September 2019: There were 400 new retirement estimate requests, which is normal
for this time of year. She added that her staff is carrying an inventory due to the
retirement projections being done for seminar participants. Of the over 6,500
incoming calls, 87% were answered by an Information Center agent within 14
seconds, 12% opted to go through the menu option; 88 callers abandoned their call
after waiting 8 seconds; the Information center received and responded to 321
incoming emails; and 574 new members accessed the Member Portal. Of 121

of was approved by the Social Security Administration and the other two by TRS’
Medical Board. There were 138 annuities terminate due to death.
2. Mr. Spencer presented the report of TRS Human Resources Director Kim Bold as she
could not attend today’s meeting. Mr. Spencer said there were two new hires in
September 2019.

Manager Debra Plog’s report which was updated Monday. There are no missing
reports from July and two missing reports totaling $63,430.59 from August.

today’s meeting. The Balance Sheet shows total assets increased $242.6M in
September 2019. On the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes for
the 3 Months Ended September 30, 2019, there was an increase in member and
employer contributions due to teacher pay raises. On the Schedule 1 report, the
Investment Consultant expense reflects one month’s payment in FY 2019 and two
Page 10 of 107
5
months’ payments in FY 2020. On the Schedule II report, the Investment
Manager Alternative Expense was under 80% due to budgeting $500K for Meketa
but the FY 2020 contract is only $275K. The Claims for Authorized Expenditures
were presented without comment.
4. Deputy Director of Operations John Santos reviewed issues he has been working on
the past month:
• The new vendor for death audit services resulted in better monitoring and only
two retiree accounts requiring claims of funds for 2 months or less.

Still waiting to meet with OMES about starting server upgrades.
5. TRS General Counsel Ms. Green updated the Board on projects she has been working
on:
• Securities litigation with GE is still in a briefing cycle. More information will
be given at the December meeting.
• Regarding the White Star Bankruptcy: Instead of BCE-Mach purchasing
White Star as reported in September, Contango offered more and was the

There was some discussion about White Star’s obligation to TRS.
• Regarding the Harvey Parkway Building: A party is interested leasing about
7,500 sq. ft. of space on 2nd floor. White Star wants to retain space on the 6th
floor to wind down business.

At the September and October Investment Committee and Board Meetings for the Teachers’ Retirement System of Oklahoma (“TRSO” or the “Fund”), AndCo reviewed the history and funding status of the real estate portfolio. The discussion included a summary our plan to fulfill the Fund’s 9% real estate allocation with a strategic shift from approximately 75% core and 25% non-core investments to an equal allocation between the two strategies. We reviewed the Fund’s activity over the last two years, which included eight new commitments allocated to non-core strategies, a planned reduction in the current core portfolio and the request to conduct a Request For Proposal (“RFP”) for a new allocation to one or two open-end non-core real estate funds. In addition to the prospective commitments resulting from the RFP, we expect the Fund will consider future commitments to existing managers’ follow-on offerings. Lastly, we discussed a follow-on commitment to the Fund’s current, and only open-end, non-core investment with American Realty Strategic Value Fund (“SVF”). Key statistics: American’s SVF is currently completing its 10th year in operations with approximately $1.9 billion of gross assets ($1.1 billion net) and nearly 30 active investments. The portfolio is well diversified by property type and geographic region, comprised of more than 6 million feet of commercial space and more than 1,000 multi-family units. Since inception, SVF has outperformed the NCREIF-ODCE by more than 200 bps. Considerations:
1. Established Fund. SVF has performed well and continues to grow in size. 2. Non-core Strategy. SVF is consistent with AndCo’s strategic plan for TRSO’s portfolio. 3. Fee reduction. Commitments greater than $100 million receive a reduced management
fee. 4. Deployment of Capital. SVF anticipates that 10% of the commitment will be called at the
beginning of the year and the remainder will be called over the next two to three quarters. 5. Liquidity. While an open-end fund, TRSO will represent approximately 10% of SVF’s AUM. 6. Exposure. With a follow-on commitment, SVF will represent roughly 6% of the Fund’s
real estate portfolio and about 13% of its non-core strategy. AndCo recommends the TRSO Board approve a follow-on commitment of $40 million to the American Realty Strategic Value Fund.

On December 4, 2019, Geneva Capital Management’s senior leadership contacted our firm to discuss an ownership event. Geneva Capital Management is a Milwaukee-based small cap growth manager that started managing a portfolio for TRSO in 2013. The portfolio has outperformed its benchmark since inception. During our call on December 4, 2019, Geneva’s senior leadership announced that the firm was entering into a purchase agreement with Janus Henderson, their current owner, to buy back their firm. The “repurchase” of their firm required internal and additional external capital. Geneva is working with Estancia Capital Management, LLC to purchase 100% of Janus Henderson’s equity interest in their organization. Estancia is a private equity group that focuses on the investment management industry. The firm will be a minority owner in Geneva Capital at the close of the transaction (expected closing date is February 28, 2020). Over time, Estancia’s equity interest in Geneva will be “earned out” or repurchased, with Geneva eventually owning 100% of their equity. This transaction does represent a “change in control” and will require an assignment of TRSO’s agreement. The transaction’s details are emerging, but based on our first two calls with Geneva, our initial impression is cautiously optimistic. A return of ownership and control to Geneva represents an improved alignment of their interests with TRSO’s. Geneva’s employees are investing substantial amounts of their own capital to buy back their firm. We have also learned that Estancia has earned the reputation of a beneficial operating partner. We are placing Geneva on the TRSO Watch List and will require regular updates from the firm. Our consulting and research teams are following the three firms involved in the transaction and will provide updates when necessary.

December 4, 2019
Dear Client,
It is our pleasure to inform you that Geneva Capital Management and Janus Henderson have
entered into an agreement whereby certain members of the Geneva management team, in
partnership with Estancia Capital Management, LLC, will acquire 100% of the equity interests of
Geneva (the “Transaction”). The Transaction will return Geneva to its original roots as a
majority employee-owned organization and is structured in a manner to provide us a path to
complete employee ownership over time. We are partnering with Estancia to help facilitate the
transition. We expect the Transaction to be completed on or about February 28, 2020.
Estancia is a private equity firm which invests in financial service companies. We believe
Estancia’s industry knowledge, combined with their desire to help us grow the business, makes
them the perfect partner. Estancia will take a minority equity position in Geneva.
In order to help drive our growth following the closing of the Transaction, we plan on taking a
number of investment initiatives, including growing the investment team and investing in
distribution and infrastructure. Let us highlight important points regarding the Transaction:
Geneva’s entire investment and operations teams will remain the same.
Geneva’s management team will be the controlling owners of the business.
Geneva will continue to employ the same investment philosophy and process that has
been in place since 1987.
We will continue to serve you after the acquisition through our office in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin.
Your relationship will continue to be managed by the same portfolio managers as it is
today.
The fees, terms, and services under your investment advisory agreement will not
change as a result of the Transaction.
We would like to thank Janus Henderson for their support over the past five years. We are
excited by this opportunity and look forward to continuing to serve you, our client. With a
dedicated investment team, exemplary client service, and a focus on investing in high-quality
companies we believe Geneva has a bright future. If you have any questions regarding the
Transaction please contact Matt Pistorio at (414) 224-6002, and we will be happy to meet with
you.
Regards, Geneva Capital Management

I .EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
BACKGROUND AND APPROACH
UBACKGROUND
Accounts Payable (AP) for the Teachers’ Retirement System of Oklahoma (TRS) is administered by in-house staff responsible for requisitioning, procurement, invoice processing, and financial reporting. TRS utilizes the PeopleSoft system to manage the AP process, including the ePro module within PeopleSoft for requisitions. The disbursement of AP payments resides with the Oklahoma Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES) and the Office of the State Treasurer (OST) upon submission of properly approved claim vouchers.
TRS participates in the State’s authorized Purchase Card (P-Card) program in which designated TRS employees are issued P-Cards. The P-Card is used for low dollar purchases under $2,500. The P-Card Administrator can temporarily raise the transaction limit up to $5,000 in accordance with the State’s p-card rules issued by OMES. P-Cardholders initiate the P-Card expenses and the P-Card Administrator reviews the transactions as part of the monthly reconciliation. Currently, TRS has two P-Cardholders and the Chief Finance Officer (CFO) serves as the P-Card Administrator.
For the audit period May 1, 2018 to August 31, 2019, AP payments (exclusive of payroll expenditures and retirement benefit payments) totaled $3,073,517.06 representing 515 claim vouchers and 343 P-Card transactions occurred, totaling $83,532.48.
UAPPROACH
During the review, several process owners were interviewed to gain an understanding of the current processes. The following individuals were interviewed:
• Sam Moore, Chief Financial Officer • Lisa Van Liew, Assistant CFO/CPO • Jessica Malloy, Business Manager/CPO • Kaleb Jones, Senior Financial Accountant/CPO
In addition to conducting interviews, Internal Audit performed several procedures to ensure key controls were operating effectively. These procedures included, but were not limited to:
• Confirmed TRS personnel do not have system access to maintenance the vendor master file. • Reviewed a sample of Fund 200 reconciliations. • Reviewed a sample of processed claims and supporting documentation for approval. • Reviewed a sample of P-Card transactions and supporting documentation for approval.
To assess the operating effectiveness of controls, detail control testing was performed on AP payment transactions that occurred during September 1, 2018 through August 31, 2019. AP payments during this period (exclusive of payroll and retirement benefit payments) totaled $2,897,412.62 representing 466
Page 72 of 107
Accounts Payable and P-Card Review Page | 3 Prepared by Stinnett & Associates
claim vouchers, and 252 transactions totaling $63,738.49 for P-card expenses. Detailed testing was performed on a sample of 25 claim voucher payments totaling $246,281.68 and 15 P-Card transactions totaling $1,817.72.
Data analytics were also performed on expenditures processed as claim vouchers or paid on the TRS’s P-Card during May 1, 2018 to September 31, 2019. The scope of the analytics did not include TRS’s retirement benefit disbursements or payroll expenditures. These procedures included, but were not limited to, the following:
• Evaluation of top vendors by dollar amount and by number of transactions • Comparison on employee travel reimbursements to p-card travel expenses • Comparison of vendor and employee addresses • Evaluation of Saturday and Sunday purchases • Benford’s Analysis to identify leading digit anomalies • Evaluation of vendors paid exclusively by P-Card
Additional testing as a result of the analytical procedures was performed on a sample of 5 claim voucher payments totaling $10,367.01 and 17 P-Card transactions totaling $13,026.71.

I I .OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPROVEMENT
Overall, the results of the Accounts Payable and P-Card review indicate TRS has an internal control environment established to ensure expenditures are properly supported, approved, and comply with TRS procedures, OMES procedures, and State statutes. Internal Audit noted a potential improvement opportunity and provided management with a recommendation. This recommendation and management’s response are detailed below.
Observation 1 – CYMA
To facilitate the preparation of internal financial statements, TRS maintains an internal general ledger system, CYMA, in addition to the state of Oklahoma's accounting system, PeopleSoft. Monthly, Finance personnel manually record Fund 200 and P-Card transactions into CYMA. For the period May 2018 to August 2019 there were an average of 60 transactions per month that were manually recorded into CYMA.
BUSINESS IMPACT
Manual entries increase the risk that errors could occur. Furthermore, the existing manual process could be inefficient.
RECOMMENDATION
The CYMA website appears to indicate users can utilize CVS files to upload information to CYMA. Management should contact CYMA to investigate this functionality further to evaluate whether the transactions can be uploaded directly instead of entered manually. Should the upload option be implemented, management should ensure the Senior Financial Accountant has Fund 200 and P-Card transactions available in an electronic format to facilitate this upload.
Management Response Person Responsible
Estimated Completion Date
Staff has researched the processes that are required to use an export and import process from PeopleSoft to CYMA. Data is not captured in PeopleSoft with the details necessary for how TRS conducts accounting. Information would need to be manually added to an import file and formulas used to format the file as needed for CYMA. This would be a very labor-intensive monthly process and not mitigate the concern noted in the observation. The added complexity could result in errors, where the current process is well known and works efficiently under the conditions.

Chapter 7 – Board Organization and Administration
Administration of Meetings
1. In the absence of specific Board policy, the procedural conduct of Board and committee
meetings is committed to the sound discretion of the Chair using Robert’s Rules of Order
as a procedural reference.
2. The concurrence of the majority of the members of the Board shall be necessary for the
Board or one of its committees to take an action.
3. A quorum of the Board shall consist of the majority of its 14 voting members. It shall in
all circumstances require the presence of 8 voting members of the Board to constitute a
quorum. In determining whether a quorum is present, vacant positions on the Board shall
not affect the required number of members to attain quorum. A Trustee is “present” for
purposes of calculating the necessary number of votes for an action when that member is
physically present in the meeting room.
4. A quorum of a Committee of the Board shall consist of the majority of its members. In
determining whether a quorum of the Committee is present, vacant positions on the
committee shall not be considered. A Board or committee member is “present” for
purposes of calculating the necessary number of votes for an action when that member is
physically present in the meeting room.
5. In the absence of the Chair, the Vice-chair shall assume all responsibilities and authority
of the Chair. In the absence of the Chair and Vice-chair, the members present shall elect
an acting Chair for the meeting.
6. If, during the course of a meeting, it comes to the attention of the Chair that a member is
apparently temporarily absent from the meeting, the Chair may in his or her own discretion
and without benefit of a motion cause the meeting to be recessed until the member returns
or such other time that the Chair is satisfied that the meeting may continue.
Notice of Meetings
The Board shall comply with the provisions of the Oklahoma Open Meeting Act. Any gathering
of a quorum of this Board or a committee thereof where business is to be transacted or discussed
shall be noticed pursuant to the provisions of the Oklahoma Open Meetings Act. This requirement
does not apply to informal gatherings such as conferences and social activities provided that no
official business is discussed. The regular Board and Committee meeting schedule is prepared by
staff and approved by the Board in November each year for the next calendar year. After approval
of the regular Board meeting schedule, it shall be submitted to the Secretary of State’s Office in
accordance with the Oklahoma Open Meetings Act. Agendas for regular meetings of the Board
or its Committees shall be posted at least 24 hours prior to the meeting in accordance with the
Oklahoma Open Meetings Act. Agendas for special meetings shall be posted no less than 48 hours
in advance of the meeting. Other, shorter notice requirements may be applicable in special
situations under the Act.
Page 78 of 107
Agendas
1. Board agendas shall be prepared by staff under the general direction of the Executive
Director. However, the Board Chair shall be the final authority in determining whether or
not an item is placed on the agenda.
2. The Board agendas should include an item for comments/questions from trustees but
should not include a specific agenda item for public comment. During the meeting the
Board Chair, in his or her discretion, may recognize a member of the public to comment
regarding an item on the Board agenda.
3. All agenda items shall be identified initially as either action items or informational items.
The Board Chair or Committee Chair is responsible for time management of the applicable
body.
4. All items on Board and Committee agendas shall be supported by concise, easily accessible
information when appropriate.
5. All Trustees shall receive in advance of any meeting copies of all Committee agendas and
supporting information.
6. Following each Committee meeting, the Committee Chair, in consultation with staff, will
prepare a brief summary of Committee actions to be presented to Trustees in a report to be
given at the open or closed session of the Board meeting as appropriate.
Minutes
The Board chair shall have an opportunity to review the minutes prior to distribution to other
Trustees and preferably within three weeks following the meeting. The minutes will reflect the
deliberative discussions of the board and its committees, the decisions reached, and the action
taken.
Executive Session Policy
The Board shall limit the business it conducts in executive session to those matters specifically
authorized by the Oklahoma Open Meetings Act. Pursuant to the Act, matters properly considered
in executive session include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. The appointment, employment, evaluation of performance, or dismissal of a public
employee.
2. Matters pertaining to the recruitment, appointment, employment, or removal of the
Executive Director or the General Counsel.
3. To deliberate on proposed decisions relating to administrative hearings/member
grievances.
Page 79 of 107
4. To confer with, or receive advice from, legal counsel regarding pending litigation, when
discussion in open session concerning those matters would prejudice the position of the
Board in the litigation.
Executive sessions of the Board and its committees shall be limited to Trustees and only those
other persons who are required by the Board.
Administrative Hearings Policy
Applicability
This policy applies to hearings before the Board where it has rejected or seeks to modify the
Proposed Decision rendered by an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) and has decided to hear the
matter itself on the written record and has further decided to take additional evidence.
Scope of Review
In many instances the Board limits its review to the administrative record of the hearing before the
ALJ. However, in those instances where the Board has decided to consider the taking of additional
evidence, the Board will confine this evidence to newly discovered documentary evidence which
could not, with reasonable diligence, have been discovered and produced at the hearing.
Evidence
If the Board has made the decision to take additional evidence, the parties shall exchange such
evidence and lodge a copy with the Secretary of the Board no later than 10 business days prior to
the date of the meeting of the Board at which the matter will be considered. Such evidence shall
be accompanied by a complete, clear, and legible copy of any such documentary evidence and a
statement which shows:
1. Good cause exists as to why the evidence could not, with reasonable diligence, have been
discovered and produced at the original administrative hearing;
2. The evidence to be introduced is relevant to the resolution of some material issue in the
administrative appeal; and
3. The evidence is admissible and relevant to the matters at issue.
The Board will determine at the time of its meeting, whether or not the new evidence will be
considered.
Procedure for Hearing before the Board
1. In accordance with the Oklahoma Open Meeting Act, all administrative appeal hearings on
the record will be held in Open Session.
2. Appellant, having the burden of proof, will present his or her argument first. Appellant
will be allowed 10 minutes to present his or her argument and may divide his or her time
Page 80 of 107
to reserve time for rebuttal. Respondent will then have 10 minutes to present his or her
argument. If the Appellant has reserved a portion or his or her time for rebuttal, Appellant
may close the argument using the reserved time.
3. Thereafter, the Board may move into Executive Session for deliberation. Upon returning
from Executive Session, the Board may elect to take a final action.
4. A final administrative decision/order will be prepared and served by certified mail on
Respondent(s).
Election of Officers
1. In May April of each year, the current Board Chair shall appoint an ad-hoc Nomination
Committee. This Committee shall be comprised of at least three (3) Trustees not currently
serving as Board Officers. The Nomination Committee shall make recommendations to
the Board at the June May Board meeting of candidates for each Board Officer position.
Nominations shall also be taken from any Trustee at the June May meeting.
2. The election of the Board Chair, Vice-Chair, and Secretary shall be held at the regularly
scheduled Board meeting in June May of each calendar year. Officers will assume their
positions immediately after the June at the July meeting and serve through the June meeting
of the following year. While a typical officer term is one year to allow rotation of leadership
among Board members, officers are not precluded from being elected to additional yearly
terms.
3. When necessary, because of an unexpected vacancy, loss of confidence in the individual,
or because an officer can no longer perform the required duties, intervening elections may
be called by a 2/3rd majority of the Board. In determining the 2/3rd majority, vacant
positions on the Board shall not be considered.
4. The election of the Board Chair, Vice-Chair, and Secretary shall be by majority vote of the
Board with a run-off to be held in the event that no candidate receives a majority of the
first ballot.
5. Because of the complexity of the Board Chair position, it normally is expected that the
Board Vice Chair will stand for election to Chair after serving one year in the Vice Chair
role. The individual who seeks to run for the Vice Chair position should take this prospect
into consideration when agreeing to stand for election to Vice Chair.
Committees
1. Committee assignments and chairs shall be appointed by the Board Chair annually at the
July Board meeting and at such other times as vacancies occur. The Chair’s appointments
shall be set forth on the agenda as a separate item. Alternate members may be appointed
on an as-needed basis by the Chair.
2. All Trustees are encouraged to attend Committee meetings, but only Committee members
may vote.

TO: TRS Board of Trustees
FROM: Tom Spencer, Executive Director
DATE: December 11, 2019
RE: Approval for Commencement of Selection Process for Pension Administration Software
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The staff and Board of the Teachers’ Retirement System have discussed the need to replace the current pension administration software many times. The staff has summarized the history of “ALICE” at all three board retreats I’ve attended since I was hired in 2014. TRS selected a local software development firm to build our current system from scratch. The project started in 2010 with a goal to “go live” on January 1, 2012. It was not fully functional for the better part of 2012. The staff has worked with the firm since then making many enhancements and fixing many bugs. The software has many admirable features including a much-improved Member Portal that now provides benefit estimates, an annual statement, and permits our retirees to reprint their IRS 1099-R statements. The system has built in work flows that have helped efficiency. The document imaging retrieval works very well.
It is much better today since we brought in a project manager in 2014 who was here for a year and improved the development and bug fix process dramatically. We created a staging piece for modified software to be tested by users before being implemented. We have also gone through multiple changes of developers at the local firm that slows progress quite a bit. The complexity of public pension plans takes a while to master.
It is no secret that the staff has a strong opinion that we need to get replacement software, developed by a significant firm with experience and a strong track record. It could easily cost $3 to $5 million over the next several years to make that happen. By way of comparison, we have paid the local firm $5.4 million since 2010 for a product that isn’t really completed. The new project is in our Strategic Plan.
We have had an initial meeting with OMES staff who work with agencies that need to go through a competitive process to select a new software provider. I have asked our cabinet secretary David Ostrowe for his approval. An agency’s cabinet secretary must approve any proposed expenditures in excess of $25,000. The staff is seeking an affirmation of past approvals of moving forward with this project.

Deputy Executive Director of Operations Report
December 2019 Board Meeting
1. There was a statewide network outage on 11/15/2019 starting just before 9:00 AM. We were
able to take some calls throughout the morning and early afternoon and assist some members
dropping off documents. Eventually there was a complete outage and we set the voice system
to notify callers we could not answer calls around 2:00 PM. The agency was closed at 3:30. Voice
messages were left in some cases and were responded to on Monday. Call volume on Monday
was at the average for Mondays.
2. Workflow activity was steady at 2,738, in line with the monthly average of 2,792 for 2019. The
top 5 as of 11/28/2019 for the calendar year are Estimate Requests (6536), Address Changes
(3383), Withdrawal Requests (2903), Tax Withholding Changes (2709) and Applications to Retire
(2511).
3. We continue to work with My Consulting Group and OMES on the cybersecurity audit
recommendations. Some of the projects are completed and some are long-term with target
completion dates in the future as far as June 2020.
4. The Member Portal had almost 7,000 Members for November and over 9,000 in October. The
main web site also had a decrease in activity, approximately 30,000 pages viewed for October vs
24,000 for November. We continue to look for improvements for self-service using the analytics
reports and member communications.
5. Progress is being made with the upgrade project of the 8 servers for the Pension Administration

TO: The Board of Trustees of TRS
FROM: Tom Spencer, Executive Director
DATE: December 10, 2019
RE: Monthly Report for October 23, 2019 through December 9, 2019 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here are a few of the highlights of my activities since my last report at the October Board meeting.
1. Board Retreat – I hope that the board members who attended the retreat felt like it was agood series of discussions. Retreats are good ways to discuss the important issues and goals ofthe agency, but it’s also a great way to get to know one another in a more casual atmosphere. Thestaff thought we had good discussions and we’ve certainly identified projects and other thingsthat we need to move on.
2. Information Technology (replacement pension software) – The week after the retreat, JohnSantos, John Reasor (TRS I.T. staffer), and I attended a demo of some commercially availablepension administration software. The demo was at the OPERS’ office building as they areconsidering replacing their software too. The software is in use at both the Firefighters PensionSystem and the Oklahoma Law Enforcement system. We wanted to see if there was somesoftware that was as close to “off the shelf” as possible. The consensus here is that it might workbut we want to do an RFP that will go out to any software company that has specific experienceproviding software to pension plans.
3. Budget Review – John Santos, Sam Moore and I had a meeting with Secretary of BudgetMike Mazzei, Secretary of Digital Transformation David Ostrowe and two OMES budgetstaffers a few weeks ago. He asked TRS and several other “non-appropriated” agencies for moredetailed data and information on our budget but also wanted us to provide some benchmark andother data to document how well we are doing. A few of the items we intend to highlight areTRS’ very low administrative costs compared to our peers. TRS, OPERS and the Police PensionSystem were the statewide plans in the natio with the highest percentage improvement in fundedratio between FY 2010 and FY 2018. Finally TRS long-term returns are quite good. Our 10 yearannualized return was 10.67%, 7 year was 9.64%, and the 3 year was 9.83%. The TRS ten yearreturn was in the 1st percentile nationally. We will provide these and some other metrics to showwhere TRS is doing well versus its peer funds.
4. Legislation – I and the other 4 state executive directors of pension systems presented reportsto the House Banking, Financial Services and Pension Committee on November 15. It was ahearing on an interim study on COLAs requested by Rep. Avery Frix. Collectively the statesystems have a very good story to tell as the funded ratios of all 6 have improved greatly in thelast decade. The public safety plans said they could afford COLAs. TRS and OPERS provided

the cost of a 2% and 4% COLA but did not agree that either could “afford” COLAs. I also gave a presentation and defense of the Oklahoma Pension Legislation Actuarial Analysis Act. 5. Audit. a.Internal Audit (AP & P-card report) The staff was very pleased that Stinnett essentially found nothing to report other than one suggestion of a “best practice.” We were disappointed that after getting new responses from OMES related to the Cyber Security audit, that they weren’t definite enough on a few so that Stinnett could close out the report. I participated in a conference call with the Audit Committee. b. External Audit (RFP) – TRS staff worked with the State Auditor and Inspector to put together an RFP for audit services. It was actually released by the SA&I office but proposals will be reviewed by both offices and we will reach a consensus on which firm to recommend for selection of the Board. 6. Investments (Office Building) a. White Star Petroleum – The bankruptcy is almost over. White Star decided to “reject” our lease effective 12/1/2019. If granted they will cease paying any rent. We thought they were going to abandon all of their furniture and minor pieces of personal property. That is not the case now. We are working with Contango (the purchaser of White Star’s assets) and another firm on new leases. b. Arcadia Capital – We are working on a lease with them for the 6th floor. They are expanding their space to about 80% of that floor. They “may” consider taking the rest of the floor after a year but no contractual commitment yet. 7. Communications a. PAFR & Newsletter – We have completed work on the Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) for FY 2019 as well as the winter newsletter. An electronic version of the PAFR will be available to our members very soon and we will mail a newsletter with the PAFR as an insert in early January 2020. b. Communications firms – We interviewed 4 finalists for a contract that will assist TRS in improving its communications at all levels. They will help us improve our website, publications, social media posting, and online educational material. Staff will be selecting a firm very soon. 8. Human Resources – We still miss Kim a lot. We held our 3rd quarter Employee Appreciation luncheon several weeks ago. 9. Governor Stitt & new administration a. Leadership Summit – Governor Stitt has scheduled a Leadership Summit in January to talk about how his first year has gone and what agencies have accomplished. b. Digital Government Summit – This is an annual event that I attended with John Santos. It was interesting to see what other agencies are working on. The theme was providing citizens with more data as easily accessible as possible, and that the State’s data should be more accessible and not in “silos.”
