Employee Group Seeks Pension Investigation

From Times Staff and Wire Reports

The Engineers and Architects Assn., which represents almost 9,000 Los Angeles city workers, called Monday for an investigation by the city’s Ethics Commission of a possible conflict of interest involving a member of the city pension board.

Robert G. Aquino, the group’s executive director, charged that a conflict exists with employee representative Shelley Smith’s membership on the pension board while her husband is employed as a portfolio manager for a firm, Dimensional Fund Advisors, that has a contract to manage pension funds for the board.
