3 April 10, 2018 Board of Trustees City of Boynton Beach Pension Plan for General Employees Boynton Beach, Florida Re: City of Boynton Beach Pension Plan for General Employees Actuarial Valuation as of October 1, 2017 and Actuarial Disclosures Dear Board Members: The results of the October 1, 2017 Annual Actuarial Valuation of the City of Boynton Beach Pension Plan for General Employees are presented in this report. The computed contribution rate shown on page 1 may be considered as a minimum contribution rate that complies with the Board s funding policy. Userss of this report should be aware that contributions made at that rate do not guarantee benefit security. Given the importance of benefit security to any retirement system, we suggest that contributions to the System in excess of those presented in this report be considered. The contribution rate in this report is determined using the actuarial assumptions and methods disclosed in Section B of this report. This report does not include a robust assessment of the riskss of future experience not meeting the actuarial assumptions, as the assessment of thesee risks was outside the scope of this assignment. We encourage a review and assessment of investment and other significant risks that may have a material effect on the Plan s financial condition. This report was prepared at the request of the Board and is intendedd for use by the Retirement System and those designated or approved by the Board. This report may be provided to parties other than the System only in its entirety and only with the permission of the Board. GRS is not responsible for unauthorized use of this report. The purposes of the valuation are to measure the System s funding progress, to determine the employer contribution rate for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and to determine the actuarial information for Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 67. This report also includes estimated GASB Statement No. 67 information for the fiscal year ending September 30, This report should not be relied on for any purpose other than the purpose described herein. Determinations of financial results associated with the benefits described in this report, for purposess other than those identified above may be significantly different. The findings in this report are based on dataa or other information through September 30, Future actuarial measurements may differ significantly from the current measurements presented in this report due to such factors as the following: plan experience differing from that anticipated by the economic or

4 Board of Trustees City of Boynton Beach Pension Plan for General Employees April 10, 2018 Page ii demographic assumptions; changes in economic or demographic assumptions; increases or decreases expected as part of the natural operation of the methodology used for these measurements (such as the end of an amortization period or additional cost or contribution requirements based on the plan s funded status); and changes in plan provisions or applicable law. The scope of an actuarial valuation does not include an analysis of the potential range of such future measurements. This valuation assumed the continuing ability of the plan sponsor to make the contributions necessary to fund this plan. A determination regarding whether or not the plan sponsor is actually able to do so is outside our scope of expertise and was not performed. The valuation was based upon information furnished by the Plan Administrator concerning Retirement System benefits, financial transactions, plan provisions and active members, terminated members, retirees and beneficiaries. We checked for internal and year to year consistency, but did not otherwise audit the data. We are not responsible for the accuracy or completeness of the information provided by the Plan Administrator. In addition, this report was prepared using certain assumptions prescribed by the Board and prescribed by the Florida Statutes as described in the section of this report entitled Actuarial Assumptions and Cost Method. The prescribed assumptions are the assumed mortality rates detailed in the Actuarial Assumptions and Cost Methods section in accordance with Florida Statutes, Chapter This report has been prepared by actuaries who have substantial experience valuing public employee retirement systems. To the best of our knowledgee the information contained in this report is accurate and fairly presents the actuarial position of the City of Boynton Beach Pension Plan for General Employees as of the valuation date. All calculations have been made in conformity with generally accepted actuarial principles and practices, with the Actuarial Standards of Practice issued by the Actuarial Standards Board and with applicable statutes. Peter N. Strong and Jeffrey Amrose are members of the American Academy of Actuaries. These actuaries meet the Academy s Qualification Standards to render the actuarial opinions contained herein. The signing actuaries are independent of the plan sponsor. This actuarial valuation and/ /or cost determination was prepared and completed by us or under our direct supervision, and we acknowledge responsibility for the results. To the best of our knowledge, the results are completee and accurate. In our opinion, the techniques and assumptions used are reasonable, meet the requirements and intent of Part VII, Chapter 112, Florida Statutes, and are based on generally accepted actuarial principles and practices. There is no benefit or expense to be provided by the plan and/ /or paid from the plan s assetss for whichh liabilities or current costs have not been established or otherwise taken into account in the valuation. All known events or trends which may require a material increasee in plan costs or required contribution rates have been taken into account in the valuation.

7 SECTION A DISCUSSION OF VALUATION RESULTS

8 DISCUSSION OF VALUATION RESULTS Comparison of Required Employer Contributions A comparison of the required employer contribution developed in this and the last actuarial valuation is shown below. The contribution policy of the City is to contribute the dollar amount determined by multiplying the required percentage of payroll determined as of the valuation date by the projected pensionable payroll for the year. For FYE 9/30/19 For FYE 9/30/18 Based On Based On 10/01/ /01/2016 Increase Valuation Valuation (Decrease) if contributed on 10/1/2018 if contributed on 10/1/2017 Required Employer Contribution $ 7,320,463 $ 7,110,298 $ 210,165 As % of Covered Payroll % % (1.21) % The employer contribution listed above is for the City s fiscal year ending September 30, 2019 and has been calculated as though payment is made in a single lump sum on October 1, The actual City contribution for 2017 was $6,951,693, an amount equal to the minimum required payment. Revisions in Benefits There have been no changes in benefits since the prior valuation. Revisions in Actuarial Assumptions and Methods The assumed investment return assumption has been reduced by 0.10% from 7.40% to 7.30%. This assumption is scheduled to be reduced by 0.10% per year each year until a target of 7.00% is reached. If the actuarial experience gains incurred during the year ending on the valuation date are sufficient to offset the impact of more than a 10 basis point reduction in the investment return assumption, then the investment return assumption will be reduced by the amount that fully offsets the magnitude of the actuarial experience gains. For the current plan year, the net actuarial experience gain was less than the impact of the investment return assumption change to 7.30%, so there were no further reductions in the investment return assumption. The aggregate impact of these assumption changes was an increase in the required employer contribution of 0.90% of covered payroll, or about $204,000. 1

9 Actuarial Experience There was a net actuarial experience gain of $1,037,851 during the year, which means actual experience was more favorable than expected. This gain was primarily due to investment experience: the investment return on the actuarial value of assets was 8.4% compared to an expected return of 7.4%. Partially offsetting this gain were demographic experience losses due to more retirements than expected (18 actual versus 13 expected), higher than expected salary increases (6.7% versus 5.3% expected), and data adjustments gathered during a thorough data review process with the Plan Administrator. The actuarial experience gain resulted in a decrease in the required employer contributions of 0.49% of covered payroll. Funded Ratio The funded ratio this year is 83.9 % compared to 81.7% last year. The funded ratio is equal to the actuarial value of assets divided by the actuarial accrued (past service) liability. The funded ratio this year was 84.7% prior to reflecting the assumption changes. Relationship to Market Value If Market Value had been the basis for the valuation, the City contribution rate for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019 would have been 29.39% (or $6,652,703) and the funded ratio would have been 87.4%. This funded ratio (on a market value basis) is up from 82.4% last year. In the absence of assumption changes, plan changes and future gains and losses, the City contribution rate should decrease toward that level over the next few years. Analysis of Change in Employer Contribution The components of change in the required contribution as a percent of payroll are as follows: Contribution rate last year % Experience (Gain) / Loss (0.49) Change in Plan Benefits 0.00 Change is Assumptions and Methods 0.90 Change in Normal Cost Rate (0.01) Change in Payment on UAAL (1.58) Change in Administrative Expense (0.03) Contribution rate this year % According to the Florida Administrative Code, the payroll growth assumption may not exceed the average payroll growth over the last ten years. The ten year average rate this year was equal to (1.87%) compared to the assumed rate of 2.8%. Since the actual ten year average is less than 0%, there is no payroll growth assumption applied, and the unfunded actuarial liability is being amortized as a level dollar amount. This did not impact the contribution requirement this year, as the ten year average payroll growth rate was also less than 0% for the previous valuation. 2

10 The change in payment on the UAAL was caused by a 6.8% increase in covered payroll from October 1, 2016 to October 1, The UAAL amortization payments were scheduled to remain level each year (since there was no payroll growth assumption applied for the previous valuation), and when covered payroll does increase, the amortization payment as a percentage of covered payroll decreases. Required Contributions in Later Years It is important to keep in mind that under the asset smoothing method, asset gains and losses are recognized over five years. As of September 30, 2017, the market value of assets exceeded the actuarial value by $6,222,257. Once all the gains through September 30, 2017 are fully recognized in the actuarial asset values, the contribution rate will decrease by approximately 2.95% of payroll unless there are offsetting experience losses or other changes. Also, since the unfunded actuarial liability is being amortized as a level dollar amount, the contribution rate should tend to decrease over time, assuming covered payroll increases in future years. Conclusion The remainder of this Report includes detailed actuarial valuation results, financial information, miscellaneous information and statistics, and a summary of plan provisions. 3

17 ACTUARIAL GAINS AND LOSSES The assumptions used to anticipate mortality, employment turnover, investment income, expenses, salary increases, and other factors have been based on long range trends and expectations. Actual experience can vary from these expectations. The variance is measured by the gain and loss for the period involved. If significant long term experience reveals consistent deviation from what has been expected and that deviation is expected to continue, the assumptions should be modified. The net actuarial gain (loss) for the past year is computed as follows: 1. Last Year's UAAL $ 30,615, Last Year's Employer Normal Cost 1,917, Last Year's Contributions 6,951, Interest at the Assumed Rate on: a. 1 and 2 for one year 2,407,401 b. 3 from dates paid 514,425 c. a b 1,892, This Year's Expected UAAL c 27,473, This Year's Actual UAAL (Before any changes in benefits or assumptions) 26,435, Net Actuarial Gain (Loss): (5) (6) 1,037, Gain (Loss) due to investments 1,494, Gain (Loss) due to other sources (456,828) 9

19 The fund earnings and salary increase assumptions have considerable impact on the cost of the Plan so it is important that they are in line with the actual experience. The following table shows the actual fund earnings and salary increase rates compared to the assumed rates for the last several years: Investment Return Salary Increases Year Ending Actual Assumed Actual Assumed 12/31/ % 8.0 % 6.7 % 6.5 % 12/31/ /30/1990 (9 mos.)

25 ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS AND COST METHOD Valuation Methods Actuarial Cost Method Normal cost and the allocation of benefit values between service rendered before and after the valuation date were determined using an Individual Entry Age Actuarial Cost Method having the following characteristics: (i) the annual normal cost for each individual active member, payable from the date of employment to the date of retirement, is sufficient to accumulate the value of the member s benefit at the time of retirement; (ii) each annual normal cost is a constant percentage of the member s year by year projected covered pay. Actuarial gains/(losses), as they occur, reduce (increase) the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability. Financing of Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liabilities Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liabilities (full funding credit if assets exceed liabilities) were amortized as a level (principal & interest combined) percent of payroll. The actual payroll growth average over the last 10 years was (1.87%) compared to the assumed rate of 2.8%. Florida administrative code requires using the lesser of the two rates for purposes of amortizing unfunded liabilities as a level percent of pay, but not less than zero. Actuarial Value of Assets The Actuarial Value of Assets phase in the difference between the expected investment earnings and actual investment earnings at the rate of 20% per year. The Actuarial Value of Assets will be further adjusted to the extent necessary to fall within the corridor whose lower limit is 80% of the Market Value of plan assets and whose upper limit is 120% of the Market Value of plan assets. During periods when investment performance exceeds the assumed rate, Actuarial Value of Assets will tend to be less than Market Value. During periods when investment performance is less than assumed rate, Actuarial Value of Assets will tend to be greater than Market Value. Valuation Assumptions The actuarial assumptions used in the valuation are shown in this Section. Economic Assumptions The investment return rate assumed in the valuation is 7.3% per year, compounded annually (net after investment expenses). This rate was 7.4% in the previous valuation. The investment return assumption is intended to be reduced by 0.1% each year until reaching a target rate of 7.0%. The Inflation Rate assumed in this valuation was 2.8% per year. The Inflation Rate is defined to be the expected long term rate of increases in the prices of goods and services. The assumed real rate of return over inflation is defined to be the portion of total investment return that is more than the assumed inflation rate. Considering other economic assumptions, the 7.3% investment return rate translates to an assumed real rate of return over inflation of 4.5%. 17

26 The assumed rates of salary increases are based on years of service as shown in the table below. Part of the assumption is for productivity, merit and/or seniority increases, and 2.8% recognizes inflation. % Increase in Salary Years of Service Merit and Seniority Base (Economic) Total Increase % 2.8% 8.6% % 2.8% 5.8% % 2.8% 4.5% % 2.8% 4.0% % 2.8% 3.5% Demographic Assumptions The mortality table is the RP 2000 Combined Healthy Participant Mortality Tables (for pre retirement mortality) and the RP 2000 Mortality Table for Annuitants (for postretirement mortality), with mortality improvements projected to all future years after 2000 using Scale BB. For males, the base mortality rates include a 50% blue collar adjustment and a 50% white collar adjustment. For females, the base mortality rates include a 100% white collar adjustment. These are the same rates currently in use for Non Special Risk Class members of the Florida Retirement System (FRS), as mandated under Florida Statutes, Chapter FRS Healthy Post Retirement Mortality for Non Special Risk Class Members Sample Probability of Future Life Attained Dying Next Year Expectancy (years) Ages (in 2017) Men Women Men Women % 0.23 % This assumption is used to measure the probabilities of each benefit payment being made after retirement. FRS Healthy Pre Retirement Mortality for Non Special Risk Class Members Sample Probability of Future Life Attained Dying Next Year Expectancy (years) Ages (in 2017) Men Women Men Women % 0.15 % This assumption is used to measure the probabilities of active members dying prior to retirement. 18

27 For disabled retirees, the mortality table was the RP 2000 Mortality for Disabled Annuitants with ages set back 4 years for males and set forward 2 years for females. These are the same rates currently in use for Non Special Risk Class members of FRS. The rates of retirement used to measure the probability of eligible members retiring during the next year are shown below. Years after Attainment of NRD At NRD NRD + 1 NRD + 2 NRD + 3 NRD + 4 NRD + 5 Rate 80% Assumed rate is 5% for each year eligible for Early Retirement. Rates of separation from active membership were as shown below (rates do not apply to members eligible to retire and do not include separation on account of death or disability). This assumption measures the probabilities of members separating from employment for reasons other than death, disability, or retirement. Sample Ages ALL Years of Service & Over Percent Separating within Next Year 34.0%

28 Miscellaneous and Technical Assumptions Administrative & Investment Expenses Benefit Service Decrement Operation Decrement Timing Eligibility Testing Forfeitures Incidence of Contributions Liability Load Marriage Assumption Normal Form of Benefit Pay Increase Timing The investment return assumption is intended to be the return net of investment expenses. Annual administrative expenses are assumed to be the same as last year s actual non investment expenses. Assumed administrative expenses are added to the Normal Cost. Exact fractional service is used to determine the amount of benefit payable. Mortality decrements operate during retirement eligibility. Decrements of all types are assumed to occur at the beginning of the year. Eligibility for benefits is determined based upon the age nearest birthday and service nearest whole year on the date the decrement is assumed to occur. For vested separations from service, it is assumed that 0% of members separating will withdraw their contributions and forfeit an employer financed benefit. It was further assumed that the liability at termination is the greater of the vested deferred benefit (if any) or the member s accumulated contributions. Employer contributions are assumed to be made at the beginning of the fiscal year. Member contributions are assumed to be received continuously throughout the year based upon the computed percent of payroll shown in this report, and the actual payroll payable at the time contributions are made. Projected retirement benefits are loaded by a unique amount for each member to allow for the inclusion of unused sick and vacation pay in final average earnings. These individual loads are based on the number of hours of unused sick and vacation reported for each member as of June 17, % of males and 100% of females are assumed to be married for purposes of death in service benefits. Male spouses are assumed to be three years older than female spouses for active member valuation purposes. A life annuity is the normal form of benefit. Beginning of fiscal year. This is equivalent to assuming that reported pays represent amounts paid to members during the year ended on the valuation date. 20

29 Service Credit Accruals It is assumed that members accrue one year of service credit per year. 21

30 GLOSSARY Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL) Actuarial Assumptions Actuarial Cost Method Actuarial Equivalent Actuarial Present Value (APV) Actuarial Present Value of Future Benefits (APVFB) Actuarial Valuation Actuarial Value of Assets The difference between the Actuarial Present Value of Future Benefits, and the Actuarial Present Value of Future Normal Costs. Assumptions about future plan experience that affect costs or liabilities, such as: mortality, withdrawal, disablement, and retirement; future increases in salary; future rates of investment earnings; future investment and administrative expenses; characteristics of members not specified in the data, such as marital status; characteristics of future members; future elections made by members; and other items. A procedure for allocating the Actuarial Present Value of Future Benefits between the Actuarial Present Value of Future Normal Costs and the Actuarial Accrued Liability. Of equal Actuarial Present Value, determined as of a given date and based on a given set of Actuarial Assumptions. The amount of funds required to provide a payment or series of payments in the future. It is determined by discounting the future payments with an assumed interest rate and with the assumed probability each payment will be made. The Actuarial Present Value of amounts which are expected to be paid at various future times to active members, retired members, beneficiaries receiving benefits, and inactive, non retired members entitled to either a refund or a future retirement benefit. Expressed another way, it is the value that would have to be invested on the valuation date so that the amount invested plus investment earnings would provide sufficient assets to pay all projected benefits and expenses when due. The determination, as of a valuation date, of the Normal Cost, Actuarial Accrued Liability, Actuarial Value of Assets, and related Actuarial Present Values for a plan. An Actuarial Valuation for a governmental retirement system typically also includes calculations of items needed for compliance with GASB. The value of the assets as of a given date, used by the actuary for valuation purposes. This may be the market or fair value of plan assets or a smoothed value in order to reduce the year to year volatility of calculated results, such as the funded ratio and the actuarially determined employer contribution (ADEC). 22

31 Actuarially Determined Employer Contribution (ADEC) Amortization Method Amortization Payment Amortization Period Closed Amortization Period Employer Normal Cost Equivalent Single Amortization Period Experience Gain/Loss Funded Ratio The employer s periodic required contributions, expressed as a dollar amount or a percentage of covered plan compensation, determined under GASB. The ADEC consists of the Employer Normal Cost and Amortization Payment. A method for determining the Amortization Payment. The most common methods used are level dollar and level percentage of payroll. Under the Level Dollar method, the Amortization Payment is one of a stream of payments, all equal, whose Actuarial Present Value is equal to the UAAL. Under the Level Percentage of Pay method, the Amortization Payment is one of a stream of increasing payments, whose Actuarial Present Value is equal to the UAAL. Under the Level Percentage of Pay method, the stream of payments increases at the rate at which total covered payroll of all active members is assumed to increase. That portion of the plan contribution or ADEC which is designed to pay interest on and to amortize the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability. The period used in calculating the Amortization Payment. A specific number of years that is reduced by one each year, and declines to zero with the passage of time. For example if the amortization period is initially set at 30 years, it is 29 years at the end of one year, 28 years at the end of two years, etc. The portion of the Normal Cost to be paid by the employer. This is equal to the Normal Cost less expected member contributions. For plans that do not establish separate amortization bases (separate components of the UAAL), this is the same as the Amortization Period. For plans that do establish separate amortization bases, this is the period over which the UAAL would be amortized if all amortization bases were combined upon the current UAAL payment. A measure of the difference between actual experience and that expected based upon a set of Actuarial Assumptions, during the period between two actuarial valuations. To the extent that actual experience differs from that assumed, Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liabilities emerge which may be larger or smaller than projected. Gains are due to favorable experience, e.g., the assets earn more than projected, salaries do not increase as fast as assumed, members retire later than assumed, etc. Favorable experience means actual results produce actuarial liabilities not as large as projected by the actuarial assumptions. On the other hand, losses are the result of unfavorable experience, i.e., actual results that produce Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liabilities which are larger than projected. The ratio of the Actuarial Value of Assets to the Actuarial Accrued Liability. 23

32 GASB GASB No. 68 and GASB No. 67 Normal Cost Open Amortization Period Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability Valuation Date Governmental Accounting Standards Board. These are the governmental accounting standards that set the accounting rules for public retirement systems and the employers that sponsor or contribute to them. Statement No. 68 sets the accounting rules for the employers that sponsor or contribute to public retirement systems, while Statement No. 67 sets the rules for the systems themselves. The annual cost assigned, under the Actuarial Cost Method, to the current plan year. An open amortization period is one which is used to determine the Amortization Payment but which does not change over time. In other words, if the initial period is set as 30 years, the same 30 year period is used in determining the Amortization Period each year. In theory, if an Open Amortization Period is used to amortize the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability, the UAAL will never completely disappear, but will become smaller each year, either as a dollar amount or in relation to covered payroll. The difference between the Actuarial Accrued Liability and Actuarial Value of Assets. The date as of which the Actuarial Present Value of Future Benefits are determined. The benefits expected to be paid in the future are discounted to this date. 24
