However, <br /> I recommend that the present Board members do not become involved in <br /> selecting the interim Director becatme I do not think that they can, at this <br />I ['~ time, function as a viable responsible board. <br /> c) Recommend that an Executive Search consulting firm be utilized in <br /> the hiring of the new permanent Director. Further, the present Boa~l members <br />m M should not have any input into this until their alleged problems are resolved. <br /> A <br /> d) Recommend that the appropriate Senate and House Committees hold <br />m joint hearings on the conduct of the PERA Board and its present interim <br />  Director regarding the alleged violations of State Laws in the conducting <br /> of PERA business. · <br /> <br />I e) Recommend that the Attorney General investigate the above alleged <br /> violation and any other violations that may have occurred which fall into <br />I K the category of improper management by the Board and its Director. <br /> f) Recommend that the State Legislative Auditor conduct a thorough <br /> audit of PERA funds to assure that there has not been any <br />I misuse/mismanagement pension <br /> of <br /> funds. <br /> <br />I <br /> II <br /> <br /> <br />
