About this file

This document is the City of Tampa's 457 Deferred Compensation Plan Committee Bylaws, establishing the governance structure for the oversight and administration of the city's deferred compensation plan for eligible employees. The bylaws establish a five-member committee composed of the Director of Human Resources (serving as Chairperson), the Benefits Manager, the Budget Officer, the Chief Accountant, and one Assistant City Attorney appointed by the City Attorney. The Committee meets at least quarterly to oversee plan operations, monitor investment options, and develop an investment policy in accordance with fiduciary standards. Committee members serve without compensation, though the Employer covers all committee expenses. The Committee's primary responsibilities include analyzing participant risk tolerance and investment horizons, selecting and evaluating qualified investment professionals, monitoring investment performance against established guidelines, overseeing third-party service providers, and developing plan administration procedures.

The Committee operates under a fiduciary obligation to act solely in the interest of plan participants and beneficiaries with the care and prudence of a knowledgeable professional managing a similar enterprise. Committee members must disqualify themselves from discussions and votes involving personal or financial interests, and they are prohibited from rendering investment advice to participants or beneficiaries. An independent financial advisor may be selected by the Employer to assist Committee members in their duties. The bylaws may be amended only at the discretion of the Employer. The related contract opportunity indicates that the current agreement with Gallagher Benefit Services for benefits consulting and financial advisement expires January 31, 2027, with no remaining renewal options, necessitating an RFP to secure these consulting services for a subsequent contract period with renewal options.
