3 Certification We have performed an actuarial valuation of the Plan as of July 1, 214 for fiscal year This report presents the results of our valuation. The ultimate cost of a pension plan is the total amount needed to provide benefits for plan members and beneficiaries and to pay the expenses of administering the plan. Pension costs are met by contributions and by investment return on plan assets. The principal purpose of this report is to set forth an actuarial recommendation of the contribution, or range of contributions, which will properly fund the plan, in accordance with applicable government regulations. In addition, this report provides: A valuation of plan assets and liabilities to review the year-to-year progress of funding. Information needed to meet disclosure requirements. Review of plan experience for the previous year to ascertain whether the assumptions and methods employed for valuation purposes are reflective of actual events and remain appropriate for prospective application. Assessment of the relative funded position of the plan, i.e., through a comparison of plan assets and projected plan liabilities. Comments on any other matters which may be of assistance in the funding and operation of the plan. This report may not be used for purposes other than those listed above without Milliman's prior written consent. If this report is distributed to other parties, it must be copied in its entirety, including this certification section. Milliman's work is prepared solely for the internal business use of the City. To the extent that Milliman's work is not subject to disclosure under applicable public records laws, Milliman's work may not be provided to third parties without Milliman's prior written consent. Milliman does not intend to benefit or create a legal duty to any third party recipient of its work product. Milliman's consent to release its work product to any third party may be conditioned on the third party signing a Release, subject to the following exception(s): (a) the City may provide a copy of Milliman's work, in its entirety, to the City's professional service advisors who are subject to a duty of confidentiality and who agree to not use Milliman's work for any purpose other than to benefit the City; and (b) the City may provide a copy of Milliman's work, in its entirety, to other governmental entities, as required by law. No third party recipient of Milliman's work product should rely upon Milliman's work product. Such recipients should engage qualified professionals for advice appropriate to their own specific needs. In preparing this report, we relied on employee census data and financial information as of the valuation date, furnished by the City. We performed a limited review of the data used directly in our analysis for reasonableness and consistency and have found them to be reasonably consistent and comparable with data used for other purposes. If the underlying data or information is inaccurate or incomplete, the results of our analysis may likewise be inaccurate or incomplete and our calculations may need to be revised. If there are material defects in the data, it is possible that they would be uncovered by a detailed, systematic review and comparison of the data to search for data values that are questionable or for relationships that are materially inconsistent. Such a review was beyond the scope of our assignment. July 1, 214 Actuarial Valuation Page 1

4 Certification The calculations reported herein have been made on a basis consistent with our understanding of ERISA and the related sections of the tax code. Additional determinations may be needed for purposes other than meeting funding requirements, such as judging benefit security at plan termination or meeting employer accounting requirements. On the basis of the foregoing, we hereby certify that, to the best of our knowledge, this report is complete and accurate and all costs and liabilities were determined in conformance with generally accepted actuarial principles and practices. I further certify that, in my opinion, each actuarial assumption, method and technique used is reasonable taking into account the experience of the Plan and reasonable expectations or would, in the aggregate, result in a total contribution equivalent to that which would be determined if each such assumption, method, or technique were reasonable. Future actuarial measurements may differ significantly from the current measurements presented in this report due to factors such as, but not limited to, the following: plan experience differing from that anticipated by the economic or 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. Due to the limited scope of the actuarial assignment, we did not perform an analysis of the potential range of such future measurement. The consultants who worked on this assignment are pension actuaries. Milliman's advice is not intended to be a substitute for qualified legal or accounting counsel. We are members of the American Academy of Actuaries and meet the Qualification Standards of the American AcademY, f tuaries to render the actuarial opinion contained herein.

5 Section I - Executive Summary A. Highlights Assets There are two different measures of the plan's assets that are used throughout this report. The Market Value is a snapshot of the plan's investments as of the valuation date. The Actuarial Value is a smoothed asset value designed to temper the volatile fluctuations in the market by recognizing investment gains or losses over five years. Market Actuarial Value as of July 1, 213 Contributions Investment Income Benefit Payments and Administrative Expenses Value as of July 1, 214 $93,28,47 4,36,476 14,919,812 (6,82,227) 16,424,468 $91,94,177 4,36,476 1,344,238 (6,82,227) 99,662,664 For fiscal year , the plan's assets earned 16.15% on a Market Value basis and 11.47% on an Actuarial Value basis. The actuarial assumption for this period was 7. 75% ; the result is an asset gain of $7.8 million on a Market Value basis and a gain of $3.4 million on an Actuarial Value basis. Historical asset values are shown in the graph below to the left; historical returns are shown in the graph below to the right.

This figure represents investment gains that will be gradually recognized over the next five years. This process will exert downward pressure on the City's contribution, unless there are offsetting market losses. July 1, 214 Actuarial Valuation Page 3 purposes.

6 Section I Executive Summary A. Highlights Membership There are three basic categories of plan members included in the actuarial valuation : (1) active employees who have met the eligibility requirements for membership, (2) former employees who have a vested right to benefits but have not yet started collecting, and (3) members who are receiving monthly pension benefits Number of Members CActive Members Terminated Vested Members 1!!1 Members in Pay Status From July 1, 213 to July 1, 214, the overall membership increased from 369 to 375. During this period there were 7 new active members. 5 members retired during the year, including one who entered the DROP. There were 5 members who died, 2 without a beneficiary. July 1, 214 Actuarial Valuation Page 4

7 Section I - Executive Summary A. Highlights Changes in Actuarial Assumptions In order to better reflect anticipated future plan experience, we lowered the expected investment rate from 7.75% to 7.625%. We also added an assumption to reflect that some administrative expenses are paid from plan assets. These changes increased the Unfunded Accrued Liability by $1,969, and increased the Actuarially Determined Contribution by $219,.

8 Section I Executive Summary A. Highlights Funded Status The chart below shows the plan's Accrued Liability and Actuarial Value of Assets for the past few years. Since investment gains and losses are recognized gradually over a five year period, the large market losses suffered in were manifested by a gradual decline in the funded ratio.

9 Section I - Executive Summary A. Highlights Actuarially Determined Contribution The Actuarially Determined Contribution consists of three pieces: a Normal Cost payment to fund the benefits earned each year, a Past Service Cost to gradually reduce any unfunded or surplus liability, and Interest assuming payment is made mid-year. If the plan has a sufficiently large surplus, the Past Service Cost may be large enough to cover the Normal Cost, in which case no contribution is required. Contribution levels (in$ millions) for the current year and the past few fiscal years are shown below Normal Cost Past Service Cost ~ Interest Actuarially Determined Contribution July 1, 214 Actuarial Valuation Page 7

10 Section I- Executive Summary A. Highlights Long Range Forecast The long range forecast reflects continued reductions in the interest rate assumption, which is projected to decrease by 1/8% per year, from 7.625% as of July 1, 214 until an ultimate rate of 7.25% is reached by July 1, 217.

16 Section Ill - Development of Contribution C. Long Range Forecast This forecast is based on the results of the July 1, 214 actuarial valuation and assumes that the City will pay the Actuarially Determined Contribution each year, the interest rate assumption will decline by 1/8% each year until reaching 7.25%, the assets will earn the assumed return on a market value basis each year, and there are no other future changes in the actuarial methods or assumptions or in the plan provisions. Actual results at each point in time will yield different values, reflecting the actual experience of the plan membership and assets.

28 Appendix A Actuarial Funding Method The actuarial funding method used in the valuation of this Plan is the Entry Age Normal Cost Method. Recommended annual contributions until the accrued liability is completely funded will consist of two pieces: Normal Cost plus a payment towards the Unfunded Accrued Liability. The Normal Cost is determined by calculating the present value of future benefits for present active Members that will become payable as the result of death, disability, retirement or termination. This cost is then spread as a level percentage of earnings from entry age to termination as an Active Member. If Normal Costs had been paid at this level for all prior years, a fund would have accumulated. Because this fund represents the portion of benefits that would have been funded to date, it is termed the Accrued Liability. In fact, it is calculated by adding the present value of benefits for Retired Members and Terminated Vested Members to the present value of benefits for Active Members and subtracting the present value of future Normal Cost contributions. The funding cost of the Plan is derived by making certain specific assumptions as to rates of interest, mortality, turnover, etc. which are assumed to hold for many years into the future. Since actual experience may differ somewhat from the assumptions, the costs determined by the valuation must be regarded as estimates of the true costs of the Plan. The Unfunded Liability for the plan is the excess of the Accrued Liability over the assets which have been accumulated for the plan. This Unfunded Accrued Liability is amortized as a level percent. Beginning on July 1, 211, the amortization period is 25 years; the amortization period will decrease each year until it reaches 1 years, after which point it will remain at 1 years. The Actuarial Value of Assets is determined by recognizing market gains or losses over a five year period. July 1, 214 Actuarial Valuation Page 26

Disabled Mortality Withdrawal RP-2 Disabled Mortality Table with generational projection per Scale AA. This assumption includes a margin for anticipated longetivity improvements beyond the valuation date. Active members are assumed to terminate as follows: A ~ e Rate % 4 & over.% Disability A~ e Rate 2.3% 25.3% 3.48% 35.66% 4.66% 45.6% 5.42% 55.42% 6.% Percent Married Age of Spouse Benefits for Terminated Vested Members 7% The female spouse is assumed to be three years younger than the male spouse.

For the member's 3th, 31st, and 32nd years of employment, only 85% of the benefit accrued as of the beginning of the DROP period is credited. At the end of the DROP period, the member retires and receives their DROP account balance as a single payment and receives thereafter 1% of the benefit accrued as of the beginning of the DROP period. During the DROP period the member does not make employee contributions, nor does the member's benefit get increased by Cost of Living Adjustments (COLAs).
