Description
The analysis was to provide comparative data on the overall
financial activities of the 85 union-administered active and retiree welfare, education, and annuity funds which
received City contributions during Fiscal Year 2001. Several funds expended lower-than-average amounts for benefits
and maintained high reserves. Several financial issues should be addressed such as operating deficits due to certain
funds exceeding their revenues. Some funds had large operating surpluses resulting in high reserves, which indicate that
they should increase members' benefits. Other issues include improper eligibility delay, consolidation of professional
services, and field audits of funds.
