MEMORANDUM
Date: September 7, 2005
To: Board Member Selection Committee
From: Nelson Van Liere, Finance Director �.
Subject: Police Pension Board Member term expiration
On October 11, 2005 the board member term for Richard T. Downes expires. He was
fulfilling the remaining portion of Ed Lipscomb's term. It is my understanding that since
this member is to be selected by the City Commission, a recommendation from this
Committee is required to fill the position.
Dick Downes has been a member for only one year but has attended all meetings as well
as attended commission meetings when pension items were on the agenda. He comes
prepared and is up to speed on the issues. He is an asset to the board and he would like to
continue for an additional two years if the commission so desires. As plan administrator,
it would be my recommendation to reappoint Mr. Downes.
Attached is Mr. Downes's original application for your review.

Please provide a brief explanation of your interest in this field and your reasons for wishing to be appointed to this
board.
1 am retired, need something to occupy my tiime and would like to volunteer that time wherever it
might be useful. City government strikes me as the most likely place for me to be of some help,
and of all the Atlantic Beach boards that i know of, the Pension Board for Genera.i Employees
seems to fit my background and experience best.
My secondary college major was in economics, my first endeavor after . orid Naar ll was in
hotel management which lasted for 17 years followed by two years as a self - employed tax
accountant, then 23 years in Florida state government first as a Labor Market Analyst and finally
retired as Administrator of Vital Records.
In addition to my vocational experience, I have handled my own investment portfolio for many
years and advised informally for a number of my family members. _
