Summary
The Public Employees Retirement System of Mississippi trustees certified the results of the retiree representative election and declared Dr. Randy McCoy reelected. A board member recused from the vote; the board took no further action on the contest at the meeting.
Trustees of the Public Employees Retirement System of Mississippi on April 1 certified the results of the recent retiree representative election and declared Dr. Randy McCoy reelected to the board.
A staff member presented the tabulated results under agenda Tab C and reported that McCoy received the largest number of votes and, under the election procedures, more than a majority. The board chair asked for a motion to certify the results; the motion was seconded and the board voted in favor. One trustee said on the record that they would recuse themselves from that vote. The board then announced the motion carried and congratulated McCoy.
The action recorded during the meeting was limited to certification of the ballot count. The board did not take additional action or open a formal contest record at the meeting. Meeting materials and the staff presentation were described as the basis for the certification.
Board members and staff did not provide additional details about vote counts beyond the staff presentation at Tab C. The certification was presented and acted on during the meeting's opening business before the actuarial presentations began.
