4 SECTION 1: Valuation Summary for the City of Fresno Fire and Police Retirement System Purpose This report has been prepared by The Segal Company to present a valuation of the City of Fresno Fire and Police Retirement System as of June 30, The valuation was performed to determine whether the assets and contributions are sufficient to provide the prescribed benefits. The contribution requirements presented in this report are based on: The benefit provisions of the Retirement System, as administered by the Board of Retirement; The characteristics of covered active members, DROP participants, inactive vested members, and retired members and beneficiaries as of June 30, 2009, provided by the Retirement System; The assets of the System as of June 30, 2009, provided by the Retirement System; Economic assumptions regarding future salary increases and investment earnings; and Other actuarial assumptions, regarding employee terminations, retirement, death, etc. One of the general goals of an actuarial valuation is to establish contributions which fully fund the Retirement System s liabilities, and which, as a percentage of payroll, remain as level as possible for each generation of active members. Annual actuarial valuations measure the progress toward this goal, as well as test the adequacy of the contribution rates. As of June 30, 2009, there is an actuarial surplus (or prefunded actuarial accrued liability) as the System has valuation value of assets that are in excess of the actuarial accrued liability. The actuarial surplus in the Retirement System is used to reduce the City s contribution and to provide a Post Retirement Supplemental Benefit (PRSB). The allocation of surplus is provided in Appendix B of this report. In preparing this valuation, we have employed generally accepted actuarial methods and assumptions to evaluate the Retirement System s assets, liabilities and future contribution requirements. Our calculations are based upon member data and financial information provided to us by the Retirement System s staff. This information has not been audited by us, but it has been reviewed and found to be consistent, both internally and with prior year s information. Please note that the Actuarial Standards Board has recently adopted a revised Actuarial Standard of Practice (ASOP) No. 4 that provides guidelines that actuaries have to follow when selecting actuarial assumptions. For a plan such as that offered by the Retirement System that utilizes the actuarial surplus to provide contribution rate offsets and a PRSB benefit, we are required to indicate in the valuation report that the impact of the application of the actuarial surplus on the future financial condition of the plan has not been explicitly measured in the valuation. i

5 SECTION 1: Valuation Summary for the City of Fresno Fire and Police Retirement System The rates calculated in this report may be adopted by the Board for the fiscal year that extends from July 1, 2010 through June 30, Significant Issues in Valuation Year The following key findings were the result of this actuarial valuation: Ref: Page 32 Ref: Page 27 Ref: Page 15 Ref: Page 16 Ref: Page 34 In the June 30, 2008 valuation, the ratio of the valuation value of assets to actuarial accrued liabilities was 128.5%. In this June 30, 2009 valuation, the funding ratio has decreased to 119.6%. The funding ratio as of June 30, 2009 if measured using the market value of assets instead of the valuation value of assets is 84.0%. The Retirement System s prefunded actuarial accrued liability (PAAL) as of June 30, 2008 was $236.7 million. In this year s valuation, the PAAL has decreased to $171.4 million. The Plan had a net actuarial experience loss of about $72.7 million. A reconciliation of the System s PAAL is provided in Section 3, Exhibit H. The aggregate employer rate calculated in this valuation has increased from 11.74% of payroll to 19.85% of payroll. The reasons for this change are: (i) lower than expected return on investments, (ii) difference between the actual and the estimated June 30, 2009 surplus allocated to the City in the June 30, 2008 valuation for offsetting the City s contributions for the 2009/2010 plan year, offset somewhat by (iii) lower than expected retiree COLA increases, and (iv) other experience gains or losses. A reconciliation of the Retirement System s aggregate employer rate is provided in Section 2, Subsection D (see Chart 14). Please note that pertaining to the current methodology that caused the City s contribution shortfall as described in (ii) above, the Retirement Board has decided that effective with the next valuation as of June 30, 2010, the System will apply the projected actuarial rate of return (taking into account the known deferred investment losses at the time of the projection) in lieu of the 8.25% assumed rate of return in projecting the surplus available to offset the City s contributions. The aggregate member rate calculated in this valuation has remained at 8.63% of payroll. A reconciliation of the Retirement System s aggregate member rate is provided in Section 2, Subsection D (see Chart 15). There are no changes in actuarial assumptions in the June 30, 2009 valuation. A description of these assumptions can be found in Section 4 Exhibit IV of this report. ii

6 SECTION 1: Valuation Summary for the City of Fresno Fire and Police Retirement System Ref: Page 6 As indicated in Section 2, Subsection B (see Chart 7) of this report, the total unrecognized investment loss as of June 30, 2009 is $311.6 million. These investment losses will be recognized in the determination of the actuarial value of assets for funding purposes in the next few years, and will offset any investment gains that may occur after June 30, This implies that if the Retirement System earns the assumed net rate of investment return of 8.25% per year on a market value basis, it will result in investment losses on the actuarial value of assets in the next few years. So, if the actual market return is equal to the assumed 8.25% rate and all other actuarial assumptions are met, the contribution requirements would increase in each of the next few years. The actuarial surplus as of June 30, 2009 (see Appendix B) would be adjusted in future valuations to reflect the deferred investment losses mentioned above. If all the deferred investment losses were to be recognized immediately, the actuarial surplus would be depleted in this valuation. The unrecognized investment losses of $311.6 million represent 37% of the market value of assets. Unless offset by future investment gains or other favorable experience, the recognition of the $311.6 million market losses is expected to have a significant impact on the System s future funded ratio and the aggregate employer contributions. This potential impact may be illustrated as follows: If the deferred losses were recognized immediately in the valuation value of assets, the funded percentage would decrease from 119.6% to 84.0%. If the deferred losses were recognized immediately in the valuation value of assets, the aggregate employer contribution rate would increase from 19.85% of payroll to 27.57% of payroll, assuming a 30-year period for amortizing the Plan s Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL). For more details on the impact of the deferred losses, please refer to our surplus projection report dated December 2, As we have discussed with the Board during our surplus projection studies, consistent with Section of the Fresno Municipal Code, any UAAL will be amortized over 30 years. However, the System has not had any UAAL for many years and the Board may want to review the above Section of the Code and the Board s policy to determine if they remain appropriate in setting the City s rate when there is an UAAL. In particular, there will be negative amortization of the UAAL for several years as a result of using a 30-year amortization period because the contribution payment will be less than the interest accruing on the UAAL. The actuarial valuation report as of June 30, 2009 is based on financial information as of that date. Changes in the value of assets subsequent to that date, to the extent that they exist, are not reflected. Declines in asset values will increase the actuarial cost of the Plan, while increases will decrease the actuarial cost of the Plan. iii

7 SECTION 1: Valuation Summary for the City of Fresno Fire and Police Retirement System Impact of Future Experience on Contribution Rates Future contribution requirements may differ from those determined in the valuation because of: 1) difference between actual experience and anticipated experience; 2) changes in actuarial assumptions or methods; 3) changes in statutory provisions; and 4) difference between the contribution rates determined by the valuation and those adopted by the Board. iv

11 SECTION 2: Valuation Results for the City of Fresno Fire and Police Retirement System Non-DROP Active Members Plan costs are affected by the age, years of service and compensation of active members. In this year s valuation, there were 997 non-drop active members with an average age of 37.7 years, average years of service of 9.1 and average compensation of $87,810. The 1,017 non-drop active members in the prior valuation had an average age of 37.0 years, average service of 8.4 and average compensation of $83,557. Inactive Members In this year s valuation, there were 76 members with a vested right to a deferred or immediate vested benefit or entitled to a return of their member contributions versus 73 in the prior valuation These graphs show a distribution of non-drop active members by age and by years of service.

12 SECTION 2: Valuation Results for the City of Fresno Fire and Police Retirement System DROP Active Members In this year s valuation, there were 167 DROP active members with an average age of 55.1 years, average years of service of 23.9 and average compensation of $88,669. The 165 DROP active members in the prior valuation had an average age of 54.8 years, average years of service of 23.8 and average compensation of $84,452. Retired Members and Beneficiaries As of June 30, 2009, 630 retired members and 235 beneficiaries were receiving total monthly benefits of $3,129,432. For comparison, in the previous valuation, there were 627 retired members and 229 beneficiaries receiving monthly benefits of $3,024,165. These graphs show a distribution of the current retired members based on their monthly amount and age, by type of pension. CHART 4 Distribution of Retired Members (Excl.

13 SECTION 2: Valuation Results for the City of Fresno Fire and Police Retirement System B. FINANCIAL INFORMATION Retirement plan funding anticipates that, over the long term, both contributions and net investment earnings (less investment fees and administrative expenses) will be needed to cover benefit payments. Retirement plan assets change as a result of the net impact of these income and expense components. The adjustment toward market value shown in the chart is the non-cash earnings on investments implicitly included in the actuarial value of assets. Additional financial information, including a summary of these transactions for the valuation year, is presented in Section 3, Exhibits D and E. The chart depicts the components of changes in the actuarial value of assets over the last four years. Note: The first bar represents increases in assets during each year while the second bar details the decreases.

14 SECTION 2: Valuation Results for the City of Fresno Fire and Police Retirement System It is desirable to have level and predictable plan costs from one year to the next. For this reason, the Board of Retirement has approved an asset valuation method that gradually adjusts to market value. Under this valuation method, the full value of market fluctuations is not recognized in a single year and, as a result, the asset value and the plan costs are more stable. The amount of the adjustment to recognize market value is treated as income, which may be positive or negative. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are treated equally and, therefore, the sale of assets has no immediate effect on the actuarial value of assets. The determination of the Actuarial Value of Assets is provided on the following page. 5

16 SECTION 2: Valuation Results for the City of Fresno Fire and Police Retirement System The market value, actuarial value, and valuation value of assets are representations of the Retirement System s financial status. As investment gains and losses are gradually taken into account, the actuarial value of assets tracks the market value of assets, but with less volatility. The valuation value of assets is the actuarial value, excluding any non-valuation reserves. The valuation value of assets is significant because the Retirement System s liabilities are compared to these assets to determine what portion, if any, remains unfunded. Amortization of the prefunded actuarial accrued liability is an important element in determining the contribution requirement. This chart shows the change in market value, actuarial value and valuation value over the past five years.

17 SECTION 2: Valuation Results for the City of Fresno Fire and Police Retirement System C. ACTUARIAL EXPERIENCE To calculate the required contribution, assumptions are made about future events that affect the amount and timing of benefits to be paid and assets to be accumulated. Each year actual experience is measured against the assumptions. If overall experience is more favorable than anticipated (an actuarial gain), the contribution requirement will decrease from the previous year. On the other hand, the contribution requirement will increase if overall actuarial experience is less favorable than expected (an actuarial loss). Taking account of experience gains or losses in one year without making a change in assumptions reflects the belief that the single year s experience was a short-term development and that, over the long term, experience will return to the original assumptions. For contribution requirements to remain stable, assumptions should approximate experience. If assumptions are changed, the contribution requirement is adjusted to take into account a change in experience anticipated for all future years. The total experience loss was $72.7 million, including a loss of $79.5 million from investments and a gain of $6.8 million from all other sources. The net experience variation from individual sources other than investments was 0.8% of the actuarial accrued liability. A discussion of the major components of the actuarial experience is on the following pages. This chart provides a summary of the actuarial experience during the past year.

See Section 3, Exhibit H. 8

18 SECTION 2: Valuation Results for the City of Fresno Fire and Police Retirement System Investment Rate of Return A major component of projected asset growth is the assumed rate of return. The assumed return should represent the expected long-term rate of return, based on the Retirement System s investment policy. For valuation purposes, the assumed rate of return on the valuation value of assets was 8.25% (based on June 30, 2008 valuation). The actual rate of return on a valuation basis for the 2008/2009 plan year was 0.70%. Since the actual return for the year was less than the assumed return, the Retirement System experienced an actuarial loss during the year ended June 30, 2009 with regard to its investments. This chart shows the gain/(loss) due to investment experience. CHART 10 Investment Experience for Year Ended June 30, 2009 Valuation Value, Actuarial Value and Market Value of Assets Valuation Value Actuarial Value Market Value 1.

19 SECTION 2: Valuation Results for the City of Fresno Fire and Police Retirement System Because actuarial planning is long term, it is useful to see how the assumed investment rate of return has followed actual experience over time. The chart below shows the rate of return on an actuarial, valuation, and market basis for the last five years. In this valuation, we have continued to apply the 8.25% investment return assumption adopted by the Board for the last actuarial valuation.

20 SECTION 2: Valuation Results for the City of Fresno Fire and Police Retirement System Subsection B described the actuarial asset valuation method that gradually takes into account fluctuations in the market value rate of return. The effect of this is to stabilize the actuarial rate of return, which contributes to leveling pension plan costs.

21 SECTION 2: Valuation Results for the City of Fresno Fire and Police Retirement System Other Experience There are other differences between the expected and the actual experience that appear when the new valuation is compared with the projections from the previous valuation. These include: actual turnover among the participants, retirement experience (earlier or later than expected), mortality (more or fewer deaths than expected), the number of disability retirements, salary increases different than assumed, DROP experience different than assumed, and COLA increase different than assumed. The net gain from this other experience for the year ended June 30, 2009 amounted to $6.8 million which is 0.8% of the actuarial accrued liability. See Exhibit H for a detailed development of the prefunded actuarial accrued liability. 12

22 SECTION 2: Valuation Results for the City of Fresno Fire and Police Retirement System D. EMPLOYER AND MEMBER CONTRIBUTIONS Employer contributions consist of two components: Normal Cost Contribution to the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) The annual contribution rate that, if paid annually from a member s first year of membership through the year of retirement, would accumulate to the amount necessary to fully fund the member's retirement-related benefits. Accumulation includes annual crediting of interest at the assumed investment earning rate. The contribution rate is expressed as a level percentage of the member s compensation. The annual contribution rate that, if paid annually over the UAAL amortization period, would accumulate to the amount necessary to fully fund the UAAL. Accumulation includes annual crediting of interest at the assumed investment earning rate. The contribution (or rate credit in the case of a prefunded actuarial accrued liability) is calculated to remain as a level percentage of future active member payroll (including payroll for new members as they enter the Retirement System) assuming a constant number of active members. In order to remain as a level percentage of payroll, amortization payments (credits) are scheduled to increase at the annual rate of 4.00% (i.e., 3.75% inflation plus 0.25% real across-the-board salary increase). The recommended employer contributions are provided on Chart 13. Member Contributions Tier 1 Provide 1/3 of the funding required to pay a benefit equal to 50% of FAS at age 50 (or when a member has 20 years of service if later but not later than age 60) to a member with 66 2/3% automatic continuance payable to his/her eligible spouse/domestic partner ( 3-319). The contribution will be prorated if the member has less than 20 years of service at age 60. Tier 2 9% pay ( 3-405) 13

24 SECTION 2: Valuation Results for the City of Fresno Fire and Police Retirement System The employer contribution rates as of June 30, 2009 are based on all of the data described in the previous sections, the actuarial assumptions described in Section 4, and the Plan provisions adopted at the time of preparation of the Actuarial Valuation. They include all changes affecting future costs, adopted benefit changes, actuarial gains and losses and changes in the actuarial assumptions.

26 SECTION 2: Valuation Results for the City of Fresno Fire and Police Retirement System E. INFORMATION REQUIRED BY GASB Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) reporting information provides standardized information for comparative purposes of governmental pension plans. This information allows a reader of the financial statements to compare the funding status of one governmental plan to another on relatively equal terms. Critical information to GASB is the historical comparison of the GASB required contributions to the actual contributions. This comparison demonstrates whether a plan is being funded on an actuarially sound basis and in accordance with the GASB funding requirements. Chart 16 below presents a graphical representation of this information for the Plan. The other critical piece of information regarding the Plan s financial status is the funded ratio. This ratio compares the valuation value of assets to the actuarial accrued liabilities of the plan as calculated under GASB. High ratios indicate a well-funded plan with assets sufficient to pay most benefits. Lower ratios may indicate recent changes to benefit structures, funding of the plan below actuarial requirements, poor asset performance, or a variety of other changes. The details regarding the calculations of these values and other GASB numbers may be found in Section 4, Exhibits I, II, and III. These graphs show key GASB factors.

34 SECTION 3: Supplemental Information for the City of Fresno Fire and Police Retirement System EXHIBIT F Actuarial Balance Sheet An overview of the System s funding is given by an Actuarial Balance Sheet. In this approach, we first determine the amount and timing of all future payments that will be made by the System for current participants. We then discount these payments at the valuation interest rate to the date of the valuation, thereby determining their present value. We refer to this present value as the liability of the Plan. Second, we determine how this liability will be met. These actuarial assets include the net amount of assets already accumulated by the Plan, the present value of future member contributions, the present value of future employer normal cost contributions, and the present value of future employer amortization payments. Actuarial Balance Sheet (Dollar Amounts in Thousands) Assets Total 1. Total valuation assets $1,045, Present value of future member normal cost $69, Present value of future employer normal cost $161, Unfunded/(prefunded) actuarial accrued liability -$171, Total current and future assets $1,105,221 Liabilities 6. Present value of benefits already granted, excludes current active DROP $499, Present value of benefits for current active DROP $148, Present value of benefits to be granted $457, Total liabilities $1,105,221 25

37 SECTION 3: Supplemental Information for the City of Fresno Fire and Police Retirement System EXHIBIT I Section 415 Limitations Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) specifies the maximum benefits that may be paid to an individual from a defined benefit plan and the maximum amounts that may be allocated each year to an individual s account in a defined contribution plan. A qualified pension plan may not pay benefits in excess of the Section 415 limits. The ultimate penalty for noncompliance is disqualification: active participants could be taxed on their vested benefits and the IRS may seek to tax the income earned on the plan s assets. In particular, Section 415(b) of the IRC limits the maximum annual benefit payable at the Normal Retirement Age to a dollar limit indexed for inflation. That limit is $195,000 for 2009 and Normal Retirement Age for these purposes is age 62. These are the limits in simplified terms. They must generally be adjusted based on each participant s circumstances, for such things as age at retirement, form of benefits chosen and after tax contributions. Benefits in excess of the limits may be paid through a qualified governmental excess plan that meets the requirements of Section 415(m). Legal Counsel s review and interpretation of the law and regulations should be sought on any questions in this regard. Contributions rates determined in this valuation have not been reduced for the Section 415 limitations. Actual limitations will result in gains as they occur. 28

38 SECTION 3: Supplemental Information for the City of Fresno Fire and Police Retirement System EXHIBIT J Definitions of Pension Terms The following list defines certain technical terms for the convenience of the reader: Assumptions or Actuarial Assumptions: Normal Cost: Actuarial Accrued Liability For Actives: Actuarial Accrued Liability For Pensioners: Unfunded (Prefunded) Actuarial Accrued Liability: The estimates on which the cost of the Plan is calculated including: (a) Investment return the rate of investment yield that the Plan will earn over the long-term future net, in this case, of investment and administrative expenses. (b) Mortality rates the death rates of employees and pensioners; life expectancy is based on these rates; (c) Retirement rates the rate or probability of retirement at a given age; and (d) Turnover rates the rates at which employees of various ages are expected to leave employment for reasons other than death, disability, or retirement. The amount of contributions required to fund the level cost allocated to the current year of service. The equivalent of the accumulated normal costs allocated to the years before the valuation date. The single sum value of lifetime benefits to existing pensioners. This sum takes account of life expectancies appropriate to the ages of the pensioners and the interest that the sum is expected to earn before it is entirely paid out in benefits. The extent to which the actuarial accrued liability of the Plan exceeds (or is exceeded by) the assets of the Plan. There are many approaches to paying off the unfunded or prefunded actuarial accrued liability, from meeting the interest accrual only to amortizing it over a specific period of time. 29
