Ron Wood explained that about four years ago all three pension funds bought various corporate bonds with maturities ofapproximately twenty- seven years. Over the last four years some of the corporate bonds have decreased in rating because of the present state of the national economy and the Finance Department would like to sell these bonds. Normally, the Finance Department makes decisions for the investments; however, since the sale of these five bonds will result in a book loss, he would like the committee to make the decision. Gwyn Strand explained that the City normally buys bonds with a rating of A or better and the five bonds suggested for sale now have a rating lower than an A. He suggested that the bonds be sold now.
