U.S. equity performance was very strong in 4Q 2020 as economic optimism was focused on post-pandemic life and the expected increase in consumer spending. Anticipation of improved economic conditions has provided momentum for small-cap stocks as investors seek undervalued investment opportunities that were largely ignored during the initial phases of the recovery. Equities – Looking Ahead • The re-opening of the economy will be a key focal point during 1Q 2021 • Pent-up consumer demand could serve a major catalyst for segments of the equity market • Value oriented stocks will become a more important consideration in a balanced portfolio o Value stocks tend to perform best during times of economic recovery and growth • Effect of the Georgia run-off election results and subsequent control of the U.S. Senate on equity markets -40.0% -30.0% -20.0% -10.0% 0.0% 10.0% 20.0% 30.0% 40.0% 1Q 2020 2Q 2020 3Q 2020 4Q 2020 2020 YTD U.S. Equity Index Performance -2020 S&P 500 Russell 2000 MSCI EAFE Quarterly performance record for Russell 2000 SFAM Page 6 of 23 10 of 70 Quarterly Market Commentary – December 31, 2020 December 31, 2020 Fixed Income Overview Market Observations • Yield curve steepened in 4Q – long term yields increased while short term yields decreased • Short term yields remain well below historical levels driven by Federal Reserve monetary policy • Bond yields are negative in many global markets as local economies struggle to grow Fixed Income Yield Overview U.S. bond yields are low in absolute terms and relative to historical levels, but negative yields in global markets generate strong demand for U.S. bonds from foreign buyers who seek positive yields.

Firefighters' Pension Fund Summary of Benefit Changes and Notes Effective as of January 1, 2021 Pensioner Page 3 62 of 70 MEMO TO: Pension Board Trustees and Employers FROM: Lauterbach & Amen, LLP DATE: November 2020 RE: Operating Accounts Held at Harris Bank We are sending out this memo to inform your Pension Board of changes coming to your checking account held at BMO Harris Bank. As you know, your Pension Fund maintains a no-interest / no-cost operating account at Harris Bank from which benefit and vendor payments are remitted. Even though most pension funds maintain a relatively small account balance, interest credits to the Bank on those balances have historically offset the costs associated with the activities of your account. As you are likely aware, these unprecedented times have pushed interest and lending rates to an all-time low. As a result, our contacts at Harris Bank have informed us that the interest rates used to offset costs are now too low to continue to offer no-interest/no-cost accounts. Accordingly, Harris Bank is restructuring your account to an interest-bearing account which incurs costs based on activity. Your account transition will take place as of December 1, 2020. After the transition occurs, your account activity costs will be offset by interest credits at a rate of 20 bps. Once those monthly costs have been offset, your account will earn interest at a rate of 10 bps. Needless to say, we did not accept this news lightly. During the past few weeks, our Directors have been communicating with several local and national banks to determine if maintaining the account at Harris Bank is still a cost-effective option for your Board. Through those conversations it was clear that Harris Bank is still offering crediting rates at the high-end of the competitive range for the current banking industry; there was no treasury department that would offer our clients an interest credit higher than 20bps. Your account’s transaction activity will determine the monthly costs (for example, $0.25 per physical check cleared, $30 to reverse a payment to a deceased member, etc.) and the historical account balance will drive the interest credit applied to mitigate those costs. Lauterbach & Amen receives no compensation or payment of any kind as a result of your Pension Fund’s operating account at Harris Bank. What we do receive is a dedicated team of professionals who always makes sure your pensioners are paid regardless of any funding issues. The responsiveness from the team at Harris Bank has been second-to-none and they are truly invaluable to L&A as the administrator of your Pension Fund’s benefit services. You will see the changes discussed above reflected on your December bank statement; no action is required on your part. Please feel free to contact our team should have any questions regarding this transition. 63 of 70 © 2021 REIMER DOBROVOLNY & LABARDI PC 1 Volume 19, Issue 1, January 2021 Legal and Legislative Update Pension Board’s Termination of Disability Pension Against Manifest Weight of Evidence Pagorek v. Bd. of Trustees of the City of Harvey’s Firefighters Pension Fd., 2020 IL App (1st) 200526-U In an unpublished, non-precedential opinion the First District Appellate Court overturned the decision of the pension board which terminated Firefighter Pagorek’s disability benefits. The pension board found he had recovered from his disability. In 2007, the pension board granted Pagorek’s nonduty disability, finding him unable to perform full and unrestricted firefighter duties as the result of severe pain from spondylosis following a fall. During the disability process, Pagorek underwent a functional capacity evaluation (“FCE”) which revealed he could not lift loads greater than 120 pounds. While Pagorek performed at the very heavy-duty level, it was determined that if he returned to duty, he risked reinjuring himself or others. Further, the unanimous opinion of the three independent medical examiners retained by the board found him disabled. Pagorek was under 50 years old when he was granted the disability. Pursuant to Section 4-112 of the Pension Code, he was required to undergo annual medical examinations to verify continuance of disability. In2015, Pagorekunderwent anannual examination with Dr. Gleason who concluded Pagorek’s spine condition was unchanged since his 2005 MRI and found him disabled from full and unrestricted duty. In his affidavit of eligibility, Dr. Gleason noted Pagorek received no treatment since 2007. In2017, Pagorekunderwent anannual examination with Dr. Wehner who concluded Pagorek was no longer disabled from full and unrestricted duty.

She found he only experienced mild pain and had a very active lifestyle working 40 hours per week climbing ladders as a satellite dish technician. At a hearing to determine whether Pagorek recovered, Dr. Wehner testified despite Pagorek’s complaints of pain, she did not notice any facial grimacing, posturing or splinting. She further testified his gait and motor strength was normal. She found no symptom magnification. Dr. Pagorek disagreed with Dr. Gleason’s 2015 examination because the clinical findings did not show any abnormality, so Dr. Gleason based his opinion on Pagorek’s subjective complaints. Further, Dr. Wehnertestifiedlifting somethingheavywouldnot cause spondylolisthesis to progress. Pagorek refuted Wehner’s testimony with recent reports from his treating physicians who found his condition chronic was unchanged, necessitating interventional pain management, epidural injections and physical therapy. Dr. Wehner disagreed with the treating physicians, accusing them of relying on Pagorek’s subjective complaints alone. At the hearing, Pagorek offered unrefuted testimony of his constant pain and limitations on his daily life. He further testified, while he did not get physical therapy or other treatment from 2006 to 2017, he was on Flexeril, Naproxen and Tramadol for pain. Pagorek was unable to get further treatment because he did not have health insurance. He avoided surgery because he was told to wait until he could not walk. Pagorekalso offeredunrefuted testimonyhis recent jobs were far less physically demanding than firefighter duties. When he finally got a job with health insurance in 2017, he sought treatment. By a 3-1 vote, the pension board terminated Pagorek’s benefits stating it accorded “substantial weight” to Wehner’s opinion and less to the opinions of Pagorek’s treating physicians since he only sought treatment after pension proceedings began. The majority also found it significant Pagorek did not seek treatment for over a decade. Pagorek sought administrative review in the circuit court, which affirmed the pension board’s decision. Pagorek appealed and the Appellate Court reversed. On appeal, the Appellate Court applied the manifest weight standard meaning the court defers to the board’s factual findings unless the opposite conclusion is clearly evident. Under the Pension Code,a firefighter’s pension maynot beterminated without “satisfactory proof” the pensioner has recovered from his disability. In this case, Drs. Gleason, Bayer and Kondamuri all opined Pagorek’s back condition remained unchanged since 2005 and he remained disabled. The Court found the pension board’s reliance on Dr. Wehner’s opinion to the exclusion of all other evidence to be against the manifest weight of the evidence. Dr. Wehner’s opinion was not supported by the facts. First, Dr. Wehner opined Pagorek was physically capable of performing firefighter work because he did not have any daily limitations. However, Pagorek gave detailed, uncontradicted testimony regarding daily limitations including not being able to pick up his children and difficulty performing basic household tasks. Second, Dr. Wehner’s opinion was based on Pagorek’s job as a satellite technician. While the job entailed occasionally climbing ladders carrying up to 30 pounds, it was far less physically demanding than firefighting. None of Pagorek’s activities were inconsistent with his disability claim and his medical opinions corroborated his claim. Third, Dr. Wehner opined Pagorek’s subjective complaints were unfounded as he had not used pain medications for over 10 years. In contrast, the record showed Pagorek was taking multiple medications to alleviate back pain. Fourth, Dr. Wehner opined Pagorek “did function as a firefighter with [L5-S1 spondylolisthesis] in 65 of 70 © 2021 REIMER DOBROVOLNY & LABARDI PC 3 the period of his initial hiring in 1997 to his report of the accident in 2005.” However, the Court found there was no evidence Pagorek had spondylolisthesis in 1997 and it was unclear when it developed. Further, Dr. Wehner acknowledged there was no symptom magnification. The Court noted, every doctor who examined Pagorek, including Dr. Wehner, determined he was experiencing pain. Further, MRI scans plainly established he had a spinal fracture and slipped vertebrae that caused his initial disability in 2007 and his condition remains unchanged. It is undisputed Pagorek has a spinal condition causing him pain, and three doctors opined his condition prevents him from resuming full and unrestricted firefighter duties. The Court concluded Dr. Wehner’s opinion was founded on multiple statements that are not supported by the recorded, and all the other doctors were unequivocal in their opinion Pagorek remained disabled. As such, the board’s termination of Pagorek’s disability benefits was against the manifest weight of the evidence. Governor Extends Remote Attendance Options As noted in our last newsletter, permanent amendments to the Open Meetings Act have been enacted in response to the necessity to hold public meetings during the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. On December 11, 2020, Governor Pritzker signed the most recent Gubernatorial Disaster Proclamation which remains in effect through January 10, 2021. Those who have been following this issue will note the Governor has been issuing 30-day disaster proclamations in succession since March 2020. It is likely the current proclamation will be extended beyond the current expiration date of January 10, 2021. As a refresher, the recent amendments to the Open Meetings Act allow a public body the option to hold meetings via phone, video, or other electronic means without the physical presence of a quorum under the following conditions: 1)The Governor or Illinois Department of Public health has issued a disaster declaration covering all or part of the jurisdiction of the public body. 2)The head of the public body determines an in-person meeting is not practical or prudent because of a disaster. 3)All members of the public body participating in the meeting must verify they can hear one another and all discussion or testimony. 4)Membersofthepublicpresentattheregular meeting location can hear all discussion or testimony and all votes taken unless attendanceat theregular meeting locationis not feasible due to the disaster. If in-person attendance by the public is not feasible, the public body must provide alternative means for the public to hear the meetings such as using a telephone or web-based link. 5)At least one member of the public body, chief legal counsel, or chief administrative officer is physically present at the regular meeting location, unless not feasible because of the disaster. 6)All votes must be conducted by roll call of each member. 7)Notice must continue to be posted at least 48 hours’ in advance of the meeting. 8)The public body must keep a verbatim record in the form of an audio or video recording of meetings held in this manner. Like prior declarations, the December 11, 2020, declaration finds “in person attendance of more than ten people at the regular meeting location not feasible.” Public bodies exercising a telephonic or electronic attendance option must provide notice and allow members of the public to monitor the meeting. In short, holding pension board meetings solely via phone, video, or other electronic attendance continues to be permissible and likely will remain an option for the foreseeable future. 66 of 70 © 2021 REIMER DOBROVOLNY & LABARDI PC 4 Consolidated Funds Update Since the last round of quarterly pension board meetings, both the Police Officers’ Pension Investment Fund (IPOPIF) and Firefighters’ Pension Investment Fund (FPIF) have conducted their first ever elections. Recall the initial legislation forming these funds involved the appointment ofinterim boards toserveuntil theend of 2020. On the police side, Shawn Curry (Peoria), Lee Catavu (Aurora), and Paul Swanlund (Bloomington) were elected to represent the active participants of Article 3 funds. Dan Hopkins and Mark Poulos were elected by acclimation to represent the beneficiary members. In addition, the three municipal members elected were Elizabeth Holleb (Lake Forest), Michael Inman (Macomb), and Phil Suess (Wheaton). Finally, Brad Cole (Executive Director of the Illinois Municipal League) was appointed by the Governor. The FPIF elections were also completed. Serving on the permanent Board will be AFFI President Chuck Sullivan, IML Director Brad Cole, active firefighters Kevin Bramwell, Matt Kink, and George Schick, retired firefighter Greg Knoll, and municipal representatives Patrick Nichting, Herb Roach, and Jeff Rowitz. In advance of seating the permanent board of trustees, the IPOPIF has issued an RFP for a Chief Financial Officer. The FPIF has selected Marquette Associates to act as its non-discretionary consultant. Both Funds report they continue to move towards consolidation of all Article 3 and 4 assets which must be complete by June 30, 2022. As a final reminder, it should be noted RDL serves as general legal counsel for the IPOPIF. Open Meetings Act and Virtual Meetings PAC Opinion 2020-007 On November 24, 2020, the Public Access Counselor issued a binding opinion concerning the conduct of virtual meetings under the Open Meetings Act. The final rule is no portion of the virtual meeting may be muted, not even for a brief “side bar”. Until the proper procedures for adjourning to executive session are followed, the public must have “access to contemporaneously hear all discussions, testimony, and roll call votes”. This ruling came about following a village board meeting for the Village of Roanoke. The meeting was being held virtually via the Zoom platform. During the meeting, the mayor needed to have a “side bar” and speak briefly with the village clerk to determine if it would be appropriate to address a personnel matter in open session or hold it for executive session. He asked another trustee to mute all of the microphones for Zoom, spoke with the clerk for about 60 seconds, and ultimately decided to address the personnel matter in executive session. They did in fact hold an executive session and did address the matter there. The Village argued this was a brief and limited discussion for the sole purpose of clarifying a procedural issue. There is nothing in the OMA that prohibits amemberofthevillageboardandanother village official from having a brief, inaudible discussion during an in-person meeting. Notwithstanding this, the Village was found in violation. The reason was thestrict letterofthe law as amended. The OMA was amended in June 2020 to allow for virtual meetings. Section 7(e)(4) of the Act requires any virtual platform “to allow any interested member of the public access to contemporaneously hear all discussion, testimony, and roll call votes”. By muting the audio, even briefly for a procedural reason, the Village violated the OMA. Pension Boards holding Zoom meetings should ensure that trustees remain unmuted at all times they are speaking. 67 of 70 © 2021 REIMER DOBROVOLNY & LABARDI PC 5 No PSEBA Benefits Without An “Emergency” Heneghan v. City of Evanston,2020 IL App (1st) 192163-U Firefighters who are (1) catastrophically injury (2) in response to what is reasonably perceived to be an emergency are entitled to health insurance benefits pursuant to the Public Safety Employee Benefits Act (PSEBA) 820 ILCS 320 et seq. While case law holds a police officer or firefighter awarded a line of duty disability by their pension fund is “catastrophically injury” by definition (Krohe v. City of Bloomington), the applicant for PSEBA benefits must still demonstrate their catastrophic injury occurred “as the result of what is reasonable believed to be an emergency.” This second prong was the issue before the court for an injured firefighter in this case. The firefighter in this case was injured during a live fire training exercise. The training exercise was carried out using a structure made of shipping containers in an effort to re-create conditions a firefighter would face in an emergency. Plaintiff was assigned to ventilate the roof for firefighters withintheburningstructure. Theroofincludedtwo pre-cut holes covered with plywood. Plaintiff’s partner was instructed to open the first hole using a saw. When the saw failed, Plaintiff opened the first ventilation hole using his axe. After removing the first vent hole cover, Plaintiff moved to the rear of the roof to remove the second cover. Plaintiff proceededtopryopenthesecond covertofindlittle resistance. His act of prying open the second cover expecting resistance but finding none caused him to lose his balance and fall 12 feet to the ground. He suffered bilateral heel fractures, underwent multiple surgeries, and was awarded a line of duty disability by the firefighters’ pension fund. After award of his line of duty disability, Plaintiff made application to the City for PSEBA benefits. The City denied his request on the basis his injury was not incurred in response to what was reasonably believed to be an emergency. The circuit court affirmed the City’s decision to deny health insurance benefits. Onappeal, theAppellate Court recognizedPlaintiff is “catastrophically injury” under PSEBA because he received a line of duty disability. The sole issue was whether his injury was incurred “as the result of what is reasonably believed to be an emergency”. In the PSEBA context, the Illinois Supreme Court has defined “emergency” as, “an unforeseen circumstance involving imminent danger to a person or property requiring an urgent response.” (Gaffney v. Bd. of Trustees of Orland Fire Prot. Dist.). In applying this definition to a prior PSEBA case, the Supreme Court in Gaffney found a firefighter injured during a training exercise when his hose became entangled inside a burning structure rose to the level of an “emergency”. Conversely, the same Court found another firefighter injured rescuing a firefighter during a training exercise using “black out” masks and no live fire was not an “emergency” for PSEBA purposes because it was conducted under controlled circumstances, no one was in imminent danger, and no unexpected development occurred. Applying the Gaffney case to this matter, the Appellate Court agreed Plaintiff was not injured in response to an emergency. It reasoned the unforeseen circumstance occurring in this case was thefailureofthesaw. Oncethefirst vent coverwas opened using an axe, the unforeseen circumstance ended. The Court agreed the failure of the saw qualified as an “emergency” under PSEBA, but found that after opening the first vent cover, Plaintiff knew he could open the second cover using the axe. The Court held, “the emergency ended once Plaintiff found a suitable replacement for the saw. The loose vent cover, although unforeseen, did not create a new emergency. Therefore, plaintiff’s fall was due to his miscalculation of force, not from a consequence of the saw’s failure.” In short, the Court found Plaintiff was not injured as the result of an emergency and PSEBA benefits were properly denied. 68 of 70 © 2021 REIMER DOBROVOLNY & LABARDI PC 6 While PSEBA is not a benefit administered by pension funds, as you can see it does have some interplay with award of duty disability benefits. Each case is a fact specific inquiry. Actions that qualify as an emergency in one context may not meet that threshold in another. Here, the Appellate Court affirmed the denial of PSEBA benefits for the firefighter. No Waiver of FOIA Exemptions from Disclosure to Third Party Vendor Mancini Law Group, P.C. v. Schaumburg Police Dept.,2020 IL App (1st) 191131-U The Plaintiff in this case, a personal injury law firm,sentaFOIArequest totheSchaumburgPolice Department seeking traffic accident reports for a certain period of time. While Plaintiff’s request acknowledged certain information included in the accident reports would be exempt from disclosure under the FOIA, the reports produced in response also redacted home addresses, phone numbers, and insurance policy numbers under Section (7)(1)(b) of the FOIA for information constituting an unwanted invasion of personal privacy. Rather than taking issue with whether this information is exempt under the FOIA, Plaintiff instead argued the police department waived its ability to redact this information because it voluntarily disclosed it to a third party vendor – Lexis Nexis. Through the course of discovery, it was revealed the police department provided unredacted accident reports to Lexis Nexis via contracttosatisfyitsrequirementundertheVehicle Code to provide these reports to the Secretary of State. Lexis Nexis also acts as contractor for the State to allow municipalities to fulfil this reporting requirement. Once the reports are provided to Lexis Nexis, they may be obtained if a fee is paid. However, based on testimony from the Village, only those individuals involved in the traffic accident may obtain unredacted reports for this fee. Any party requesting the report not involved in the accident would receive a redacted version. Plaintiff argued this was not the case inasmuch as one of its lawyers obtained an unredacted report from Lexis Nexis after paying the required fee. However, the Appellate Court found this issue raised by affidavit hadbeen waivedby Plaintiff and did not support the conclusion put forth. In support of its waiver argument Plaintiff relied on the 1997 Illinois Supreme Court case of Lieber v. Bd. of Trustees of Southern Ill. Univ.In that case, the Illinois Supreme Court found the university had waived its argument certain information was exempt from the FOIA because it had previously voluntarily disclosed the same information to other parties. The Appellate Court in this case found that circumstance distinguishable inasmuch as the disclosure made to Lexis Nexis by the Schaumburg Police Department was mandated reporting to the State (through its vendor) required by the Illinois Vehicle Code. In a split decision, the Appellate Court found no waiver had occurred and the redactions made by the police department were appropriate. The takeaway here might be voluntary disclosure may still result in waiver of a FOIA exemption but mandated disclosure, even if made to a third party vendor, protects potential exemptions.
