The managers will be recommended by $11.4 billion fund's real estate
consultant, Townsend Group. No RFP will be issued.

The pension fund had an actual real estate allocation of 8.6%, or $996
million, as of Nov. 30.

Recommendations in the pension fund's 2012 real estate investment plan
include considering international real estate investments and target
commitments of $30 million to $70 million per investment.

The fund's real estate consultant, Townsend Group, also recommended changing
the primary real estate benchmark to the NCREIF Fund Index-Open-End
Diversified Core Equity from the NCREIF Property index.

Separately, the fund committed $25 million each to Green Equity Investors VI
and Primus Capital Fund VII. The fund invested in all six of the previous
Primus Capital funds from vintage years 1984-2007; the Green Equity
commitment is the plan's first to the firm.

Also, investment staff in January will recommend the fund's first timberland
investment manager to the board. An RFI was issued in July. The fund has a
target allocation of 3%, which was adopted in March 2010.
