RESOLUTION NO. RS2002-999
A resolution authorizing the Department of Law to compromise and settle all issues and possible claims that the Metropolitan Government may have against UBS PaineWebber Inc. and W. Keith Phillips as the employee of UBS PaineWebber Inc. through the payment by UBS PaineWebber Inc. of ten million dollars ($10,000,000.00) to the Metropolitan Government Trust Funds and three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000.00) to the Judgments and Losses Fund of the Department of Law.
Whereas, UBS PaineWebber
Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "PaineWebber") served as investment
consultant to the Metropolitan Government by and through the Investment Committee
of the Metropolitan Employee Benefit Board (hereinafter referred to as "Investment
Committee") in connection with the investment of the funds of the Metropolitan
Government Trust Funds (hereinafter referred to as "Trust Fund") from
1990 through the middle of the year 2000; and
Whereas, W. Keith Phillips
(hereinafter referred to as "Phillips") was the employee of PaineWebber
who managed the account of the Metropolitan Government for PaineWebber throughout
this period; and
Whereas, certain issues
and concerns regarding PaineWebber's and Phillips' service and compensation
as an investment consultant arose as the result of a performance audit of the
Metropolitan Employee Benefit Board by the Internal Audit Section of the Metropolitan
Government; and
Whereas, the Metropolitan
Government has reviewed and considered all the relevant issues, concerns and
potential claims arising out of, in connection with or relating to the consulting
agreements and relationship between Metropolitan Government, PaineWebber, and
Phillips' or PaineWebber's service as an investment consultant to Metropolitan
Government by and through the Investment Committee, have considered the delay,
expense and uncertainty of litigation and have determined that the resolution
set forth in the Settlement Agreement and Release, attached as Exhibit A hereto,
is reasonable and in the best interests of the Metropolitan Government.
Now therefore, be it resolved
by the Council of The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County:
Section 1: That the Metropolitan
Department of Law is authorized to compromise and settle any and all claims
that the Metropolitan Government may have on behalf of itself, its Investment
Committee, its Employee Benefit Board, and its Trust Fund against W. Keith Phillips
and/or PaineWebber by PaineWebber's payments in the amount of ten million dollars
($10,000,000.00), payable to the Metropolitan Government Trust Fund, and, additionally,
by PaineWebber's payment in the amount of three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000.00),
to the Judgment and Losses Fund of the Department of Law.
Section 2: This resolution shall take effect from and after its passage, the welfare of The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County requiring it.
