· CONFIRMATION OF AUTHORIZATION

The Compliance Department at CS McKee wishes to confirm their authorizations to perform the following on behalf of the Potter County Employees’ Retirement Fund:

    • Vote Proxies
    • Submit Corporate Actions
    • File Class Actions

· FUNDS TRANSFER PROCEDURAL CHANGE

The current procedure for transferring retirement funds in increments of $250,000.00 from the holding account at Citizens & Northern Bank to Wachovia for investment by CS McKee is triggered when the holding fund reaches $500,000.00.

The board proposes to lower this amount to $300,000.00, contingent on there being sufficient funds to cover retirement benefits due.

· FIRST QUARTER 2010 EMPLOYEES’ RETIREMENT FUND REPORT – Jeff Davidek, C.S. McKee, Fund Manager

Mr. Davidek reported that the fund balance stood at $9,579,705 as of March 31, 2010, compared to $9,236,071 on Dec. 31, 2009. Growth of 3.74 percent for the first quarter of 2010 was encouraging and slightly higher than the 3.56 percent for the S&P 500, EAFE and BC Aggregate Total Index.

He said the year 2010 has seen an increased in the economic rally that was evident in 2009, but there are several “headwinds” identified by C. S. McKee. Business spending, Gross Daily Product growth and job gains are positive trends, but a stronger U.S. dollar value and weaker euro portend market volatility. The U.S. economy could also experience a downturn as the federal stimulus of 2009 expires.

Mr. Davidek said C. S. McKee analysts have been studying the impact of the BP oil spill off the Gulf Coast and at this time have concluded that investment funds such as the Potter County Employees’ Retirement Fund should not sell off holdings in a BP contracting partner, Transocean, as liability is expected to be borne by BP, rather then Transocean. He also reminded Retirement Board members that they have the option of instructing C. S. McKee to change investments of the fund balance based on issues of social responsibility or personal preference. At the same time, Mr. Davidek emphasized that C. S. McKee has an impressive track record and remains committed to a conservative, long-range investment strategy to achieve the fund’s growth goals of 7.5 percent annually.

He spoke in detail about C. S. McKee’s assessment of investment opportunities in health care suppliers and providers, energy firms, international companies, as well as C. S. McKee’s Aggregate Fixed Income investment decisions and strategies.

Mr. Davidek fielded questions from Retirement Board members. Asked for a forecast of second quarter 2010 results, he replied that April numbers were encouraging, while May has been disappointing. He also said that board members can obtain daily reports of the fund’s status by contact C.S. McKee.

ADJOURNMENT: Commissioner Kefover moved to adjourn. Chief Clerk Brown seconded. All in favor. The meeting was adjourned at 1:05 pm.
