 Happy New Year! First and foremost, I want to thank you for taking the time to come to these education sessions. The City of Fort Worth is blessed to have employees that work tirelessly for our community. You are dedicated to making our city the best place to live, work, and raise your families. I often feel like you live by Mayor Bob Boland's motto, to leave a place better than you found it. My promise to you when I first became mayor was to keep the Pension Fund solvent for all employees and all retirees, to maintain a defined benefit plan, and to protect the financial health and future of Fort Worth. That's why solving this pension issue locally is so important, and with your support we can do that and keep it from going to Austin. I realize this is a deeply personal issue for our employees. Please know that we kept that at the forefront of our decision-making, so that those of you who came before us and served Fort Worth will have a pension to rely upon for their families. I'm proud of the proposal that we had before you. It was possible because we all were able to come to the table. I want to thank everyone for their hard work on this issue, from crunching numbers to your emails providing feedback, general employees, POA, local 440, and of course City Manager Cook and his staff worked tirelessly. With your vote and support, Fort Worth will be the only big city in Texas who handled their issue locally and did not rely on Austin to settle it. We have not arrived at this proposal without thousands of hours of discussion, negotiations, and of course spirited conversations. The most contentious portion of the discussion has always revolved around the COLA for eligible blue service employees and the preservation of the COLA for retirees. I'm proud to say there are no proposed changes to the retiree COLA. City leadership will dive into greater detail of the proposal before you. I feel confident these changes are the right decision in order to keep the pension fund solvent. As long as I'm mayor my priority will always be to maintain this fund solvency in a manner that is fair and equitable for everyone. Again, thank you for taking the time to come today. Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions or to further clarify any information you need. Remember the vote is February 4th through the 22nd. You can find more resources online via the pension page and pension hotline. Thank you again.
