CHIEF INSPECTOR GENERAL'S REPORT October 27, 1998 6
1 P R O C E E D I N G S
2 (The agenda items commenced at 10:34 a.m.)
3 (Treasurer Nelson exited the room.)
4 GOVERNOR CHILES: We will now have a
5 Chief Inspector General's report on the
6 Department of Highway Safety and Motor
7 Vehicles.
8 If Marvin Doyal will come to the podium.
9 MR. DOYAL: Governor, members of the
10 Cabinet, at your March 10th, 1998, meeting, you
11 asked that my office look into how well the
12 Highway Safety had followed up on
13 recommendations made in a report prepared by the
14 Comptroller.
15 We've conducted our review of the seven
16 recommendations made in the report, and one
17 additional recommendation made by the
18 Comptroller during that March 10th meeting.
19 We found that the Department of Highways
20 has addressed each of the recommendations in the
21 Comptroller's report. However, in some of the
22 cases, there has not been sufficient time since
23 the implementation of the change to tell whether
24 or not that change has been institutionalized.
25 And the Cabinet -- you and the Cabinet may
ACCURATE STENOTYPE REPORTERS, INC.
CHIEF INSPECTOR GENERAL'S REPORT October 27, 1998 7
1 well want to look at this again in another
2 six months.
3 That's the total of the report, sir.
4 GOVERNOR CHILES: All right. Any
5 questions?
6 COMPTROLLER MILLIGAN: Governor, if I
7 might. I appreciate the effort that the
8 Department has, in fact, put in to try to meet
9 the recommendations that were in that report.
10 And I think it would be appropriate to revisit
11 it in six months, so I would recommend that we
12 have a follow-up report in six months, and --
13 and then we can put this thing to bed.
14 GOVERNOR CHILES: All right. Without
15 objection, if you'll report back in six months.
16 MR. DOYAL: We will do.
17 Thank you very much, sir.
18 GOVERNOR CHILES: Thank you, sir.

4 Item number 3 is approval of fiscal

STATE BOARD OF ADMINISTRATION October 27, 1998 10
1 exceeding five million five hundred thousand

3 Revenue Bond for the South Pointe Apartments
4 project.
5 TREASURER NELSON: And I move that one.
6 COMPTROLLER MILLIGAN: And second it.
7 GOVERNOR CHILES: Moved and seconded.
8 Without objection, Item 5 is approved.
9 MR. HERNDON: Governor, with your leave,
10 and the Board's approval, we would like to
11 withdraw and bring back at the next agenda item,
12 Item 6 and Item 7(B). Both of them relate to
13 corporate governance. And we'll -- we'll come

25 TREASURER NELSON: So, Governor, if I
ACCURATE STENOTYPE REPORTERS, INC.
STATE BOARD OF ADMINISTRATION October 27, 1998 11
1 might, basically the -- the -- our portfolio has
2 gone up about three billion dollars just in the
3 last month.
4 MR. HERNDON: Yes, sir. As you know, the
5 market corrected, as we've all been long
6 awaiting, for the period of July 17th, which was
7 the peak, until around the first part of
8 September. And during that period of time, we
9 were trying to follow our disciplines as closely
10 as possible. And we have seen a rebound in the
11 market, and we've regained about half of what
12 we've lost in that correction. So we're very
13 pleased with the outcome.
14 TREASURER NELSON: Very good.
15 MR. HERNDON: And I -- and I might add,
16 just incidentally, I know that the Board is very
17 well aware, since we're the proverbial long-term
18 investors, we did rebalance during that period
19 of time, and moved some fixed income assets at
20 the height of the market for bonds into the U.S.
21 equity market.
22 And as a long-term investor, we expect that
23 that will pay off very handsomely for us down
24 the road. We've already seen a nice short-term
25 gain as a result of those moves. But it's the
ACCURATE STENOTYPE REPORTERS, INC.
STATE BOARD OF ADMINISTRATION October 27, 1998 12
1 long-term gain that we're really focusing on.
2 We think that was a very appropriate and
3 beneficial direction.
4 GOVERNOR CHILES: Thank you, sir.
5 MR. HERNDON: Thank you.

17 COMMISSIONER BROGAN: I'll second
18 withdrawal.
19 And, Governor, can I comment on this one,
20 please?
21 GOVERNOR CHILES: Moved and seconded.
