South Dakota Retirement System

The meeting was staffed by Mr. Bill Pike, LRC (Document 1).

The budget for the South Dakota Retirement System was presented by Al Asher, Administrator.

Discussion took place over the request for 2 new FTE's. Senator Drake asked why the new technology, such as the data processing system, did not relieve the need for more employees. Administrator Asher replied that in the environment that they work in, operating the data processing system is very difficult.

Senator Duxbury asked what the cost for the 2 new FTE's would be. Administrator Asher replied $63,940.
