Box 580 Fort Collins, Colorado 80522-0580 Dear Retirement Committee Members: As requested, we have made an actuarial valuation of the City of Fort Collins General Employees Retirement Plan as of January 1, 2005. The major findings of the valuation are contained in this report. In preparing this report, Milliman relied on information supplied by employees of the City of Fort Collins that provide administrative support for the Plan. Milliman has accepted the information without audit. This information includes, but is not limited to, statutory provisions, employee data, and financial information. In our examination of these data, we have found them to be reasonably consistent and comparable with data used for other purposes. It should be noted that if any data or other information is inaccurate or incomplete, our calculations may need to be revised. On the basis of the foregoing, we hereby certify that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this report is complete and accurate and has been prepared in accordance with generally recognized and accepted actuarial principles and practices which are consistent with the principles prescribed by the Actuarial Standards Board (ASB) and the Code of Professional Conduct and Qualification Standards for Public Statements of Actuarial Opinion of the American Academy of Actuaries. We further certify that all costs, liabilities, rates of interest, and other factors for the Plan have been determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions and methods which are individually reasonable (taking into account the experience of the Plan and reasonable expectations); and which, in combination, offer our best estimate of anticipated experience affecting the Plan. Nevertheless, the emerging costs will vary from those presented in this report to the extent that actual experience differs from that projected by the actuarial assumptions. The Retirement Committee has the final decision regarding the appropriateness of the assumptions displayed in Appendix A, and has adopted them. Actuarial computations presented in this report are for purposes of determining the recommended funding amounts for the Plan. Actuarial computations under GASB Statements No. 25 and 27 are for purposes of fulfilling financial accounting requirements. The computations prepared for these two purposes may differ as disclosed in our report. The calculations in the enclosed report have been made on a basis consistent with our understanding of the Plan s funding requirements and goals, and of GASB Statements No. 25 and 27. Determinations for purposes other than meeting these requirements may be j:docs:cfc:05val pdf.doc

SECTION 1 SUMMARY OF THE FINDINGS This is a report of our actuarial valuation of the Plan as of January 1, 2005. The purpose and findings of our valuation are as follows: 1. Determine the Plan s funding status. The following table summarizes some of the key results of our valuation of the Plan, along with the comparable figures from the prior year valuation. January 1, 2004 January 1, 2005 Market Value of Assets (MV) $ 34,107,332 $ 36,661,730 Actuarial Value of Assets (AV) 36,208,321 36,628,565 Ratio of AV to MV 106.2% 99.9% Discount Rate for Liabilities 7.50% 7.50% Present Value of Future Benefits $ 44,235,876 $ 46,404,475 Actuarial Value of Assets (AV) 36,208,321 36,628,565 Present Value of Future Normal Costs $ 8,027,555 $ 9,775,910 Annual Required Contribution at Beginning of Year 1,107,920 1,397,352 as a Percent of Compensation* 6.35% 8.44% Present Value of Accrued Benefits $ 31,432,207 $ 34,060,670 Funded Percentage (as Percent of MV) 108.5% 107.6% GASB 25 & 27 Information Net Pension Obligation $ (1,061,902) $ (959,840) Annual Pension Cost $ 1,182,408 $ 1,476,355 * See page 4 for a detailed analysis of the rate change. One way to look at the adequacy of plan funding is to compare the value of benefits under the plan terms to the value of plan assets as of the valuation date. By this measure, the plan is fairly well funded, since the actuarial value of plan assets covers 78.9% of the present value of future benefits, and the market value of plan assets covers 79.0% of the present value of future benefits. The present value of future benefits includes benefits earned to date plus the value of benefits anticipated to be earned for all expected future service by current participants. The market value of plan assets exceeds the present value of accumulated plan benefits by 7.5%. January 1, 2005 Valuation (5/2005) 1

2. Analyze recent plan experience and select appropriate actuarial assumptions. To value the Plan, the actuary must predict future events such as investment return, mortality, and rates of termination by means of actuarial assumptions. The validity of our valuation depends on how closely future Plan experience follows our assumptions. Experience different from that assumed gives rise to actuarial gains or losses, which affect future costs. The actuarial assumptions we used in this valuation are stated in Appendix A. The following comments address some of the more important assumptions. a. Rate of investment return The actuarial valuation was prepared assuming a 7.5% investment return. A study of actual investment performance on the market value of assets produced the following results: Annual Rate of Investment Return For One-Year Period Ending December 31 Annual Rate Period For Period Ending December 31, 2004 Average Annual Rate 2004 9.5% 1 year 9.5% 2003 18.8 2 years 14.1 2002 (9.3) 3 years 5.7 2001 (4.0) 4 years 3.2 2000 (3.5) 5 years 1.8 1999 21.1 6 years 4.8 1998 8.8 7 years 5.3 1997 10.5 8 years 6.0 1996 10.1 9 years 6.4 1995 13.8 10 years 7.1 1994 (0.2) 11 years 6.5 1993 7.1 12 years 6.5 * Rates of return for 1999 and earlier as reported by the prior actuary and used without audit. The twelve-year average return of 6.5% is lower than the 7.5% expected. However, we are not recommending a change at this time since your current investment policy falls within reasonable expectation of the current market outlook. b. Termination and retirement rates The results of the January 1, 2004 valuation of the plan were based on the assumptions that all members would retire immediately upon the attainment of age 67. In addition, schedules of retirement and withdrawal rates varying by age were assumed prior to age 67. Nine of the active members on January 1, 2004 were projected to withdraw from covered employment during 2004, whereas a total of eleven active members actually January 1, 2005 Valuation (5/2005) 2

terminated employment during the year. Thirteen active participants were expected to retire during 2004, but only nine participants retired from active status during 2004. Since actual experience is relatively close to expected, we recommend no changes at this time. We will continue to monitor both assumptions to determine whether any changes are warranted. c. Salary increase assumption The assumed rate of future salary increases used for the valuation of the plan is a graded table based on age, as shown in Appendix A, which anticipated average salary increases during 2004 of 4.1%. Average salary increases for those participants continuing in covered employment was 0.5%, with the median salary increase from 2004 to 2005 of 0.0%, based on a comparison of actual compensation rates for 2004 and 2005. We recommend no change to this assumption. We will continue to monitor this assumption to determine whether any changes are warranted. We recommend the City accept all of our assumptions, as they represent our best estimate of the Plan s future experience. 3. Review the financial effect of experience gains and losses and changes in plan benefits. Under the aggregate cost method, the normal cost rate prior to expenses is expected to remain constant if all assumptions are met. The normal cost rate was determined to be 6.2566% for the January 1, 2004 actuarial valuation of the plan. We determined the normal cost rate for January 1, 2005 to be 8.3875%, an increase of 2.1309%. This increase in the normal cost rate gives rise to an Annual Required Contribution of $1,397,352 for 2005, compared to the Annual Required Contribution of $1,107,920 for 2004. The Annual Required Contribution includes a provision for Plan expenses equal to the average of the prior three years of administrative expenses. If the normal cost rate had remained constant and the provision for expenses remained the same as used in the January 1, 2004 actuarial valuation of the plan, the Annual Required Contribution would have been $1,051,568 for 2005, so the net effect of all the changes for the year was an increase of $345,784 in the plan s Annual Required Contribution. There were a number of contributing factors in the change in the normal cost rate. Prior asset losses that had not yet been recognized in the actuarial value of assets offset the recognition of the asset gains for the 2004 plan year. The effect of each of these factors on the plan s normal cost rate is shown in the following table: January 1, 2005 Valuation (5/2005) 3

January 1, 2004 Valuation: 6.2566% Changes: Asset losses from prior years 1.4262% Asset gain for 2004 (0.0850) Salary changes different than assumed (0.5851) Change in disability programming 0.2887 Technical programming change 0.8233 Other, including demographic losses 0.2628 Total 2.1309% January 1, 2005 Valuation: 8.3875% 4. Calculate the plan s Annual Required Contribution and provide the disclosure information required by Government Accounting Standards Board Statement (GASB) No. 25 and No. 27. Section 5 provides the detail on the calculation of the Annual Required Contribution to the plan for the 2005 plan year. This calculation is based on the aggregate cost method. Section 6 sets forth certain information required for the plan s disclosures under GASB No. 25 and No. 27. Highlights of the 2004 plan year There were 569 members reported on January 1, 2005, 324 of whom were active members who continue to accrue benefits under the plan. The remaining 245 were inactive members retaining benefits under the plan. The plan assets earned 9.5% during the 2004 plan year on a market value basis. Over the last five years the average annual return was 1.8%, lower than the assumed rate of return of 7.5%. The average annual return over the last 12 years of 6.5% was also lower than the assumed rate of return of 7.5%. At the end of 2004, the market value of fund assets was $36,661,730. The actuarial value of fund assets was $36,628,565 as of December 31, 2004. The annual recommended contribution for 2005 is $1,397,352 as of January 1, 2005, an increase from 2004.

SECTION 2 SCOPE OF THE REPORT Section 1 of this report presents a summary of the findings resulting from this valuation. Section 2 discusses the Scope of the report. Section 3 contains a summary of the data we received regarding participants of the plan. Section 4 describes the basis we use in assigning values to the Fund s assets, and contains summaries of the assets in Tables 7, 8 and 9. Section 5 expands upon Section 1 in various areas of our findings, and describes the actuarial concepts and methods upon which the findings are based. Table 10 presents the related calculations. Section 6 provides the required GASB No. 25 and No. 27 disclosure information. Section 7 provides historical statistics of the Plan and a 20-year projection of benefit payments. All of the calculations of the valuation were carried out using certain assumptions as to the future experience of the plan. Appendix A summarizes these assumptions. Appendix B outlines the benefit and contribution provisions of the plan as of January 1, 2005. In preparing our report, we relied without audit upon the financial data sent to us by the finance department. We also relied upon the active and inactive member data furnished us by the human resource and finance departments. We tested the member data for missing or incomplete items such as birth dates and membership dates. Based on these tests, we believe all the data to be sufficient and reliable for the purposes of our calculations. This report has been prepared in accordance with generally recognized and accepted actuarial principles and practices. These policies are consistent with the Code of Professional Conduct of the American Academy of Actuaries, and all applicable Actuarial Standards of Practice and accompanying Interpretative Opinions of the Actuarial Standards Board. In our opinion, the assumptions used in the valuation are reasonably related to the experience of the plan. They represent our best estimate of future conditions affecting the plan. Nevertheless, the emerging costs of the plan will vary from those presented in this report to the extent that actual experience differs from that projected by the actuarial assumptions.

SECTION 3 PARTICIPANT DATA The actuarial valuation of the plan is based on the participant data provided to us by the City. The data includes active participants, terminated vested participants who retain benefits under the plan, and retirees and beneficiaries receiving benefits as of January 1, 2005. A total of 569 participants were reported to us and included in this valuation. Table 1 includes a reconciliation of the participant data from January 1, 2004 to January 1, 2005. The age and service characteristics of the 324 active participants in the plan as of January 1, 2005 are shown in Table 2. As indicated in Table 2, the average age of the active participants on the valuation date was 52.8, an increase from the average age of 51.9 of the active participants on January 1, 2004. The average years of service of the active participants on January 1, 2005 was 17.3, up from the 16.4 average years of service of the active participants on January 1, 2004. In addition to the active members, there were 113 inactive participants not yet in pay status retaining benefits under the plan. Table 3 contains a summary of the number of inactive participants not yet in pay status who retain benefits under the plan and the amounts of those benefits. Tables 4 and 5 summarize the information provided on the 132 members who are currently receiving monthly benefits. Table 4 contains a summary of the number of participants receiving benefits and the amounts of those benefits, while Table 5 lists the benefits being paid as of January 1 of each year from 1985 to 2005. Counts and total annual benefit amounts are separated by status and sex. Table 6 displays the list of the retirement dates and status of participants eligible for normal or delayed retirement in the next five years. Because participation in the plan was frozen as of January 1, 1999, the number of participants in the plan has declined over the years, as illustrated below: Summary of Plan Participants 1,200 1,000 800 600 400 200 0 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 Active Employees Retirees Vested Inactives January 1, 2005 Valuation (5/2005) 6

SECTION 5 DEVELOPMENT OF ANNUAL REQUIRED CONTRIBUTION A fundamental principle in financing a benefit program is that the cost of its benefits should be related to when those benefits are earned, rather than to when they are paid. Various methods are used by actuaries to determine costs that satisfy this principle. This and the prior actuarial valuations were prepared using the aggregate cost method. The cost method allocates the total cost of the Plan over time: the normal cost is that portion of the cost allocated to the current period. The present value of future normal costs is equal to the excess of the present value of projected benefits over the actuarial value of assets. The normal cost accrual rate is equal to the present value of future normal costs divided by the present value of future covered payroll for current active participants. The normal cost is the covered current payroll multiplied by the normal cost accrual rate. The present value of projected benefits is the present value of all future benefits expected to be paid to current plan members. Most of this liability is for active members of the plan, as illustrated below: Present Value of Projected Benefits 71% 7% 22% Actives Vested Inactive Retirees The plan s annual required contribution (ARC) is actuarially determined in accordance with Statement No. 25 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB No. 25). Under the method adopted by the City, the ARC is the normal cost under the aggregate normal cost method plus a provision for expenses, and is shown in Table 10. January 1, 2005 Valuation (5/2005) 19

SECTION 6 DISCLOSURE INFORMATION REQUIRED BY GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD STATEMENT NO. 25 AND NO. 27 Tables 11 and 12 provide the disclosure information required by Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 25, Financial Reporting for Defined Benefit Pension Plans and Note Disclosures for Defined Contribution Plans, and Statement No. 27, Accounting for Pensions by State and Local Governmental Employees. The assumptions and methods used for these funding disclosures meet the parameters set forth in GASB No. 25 and No. 27, and, other than those described below, are outlined in Table 13 and Appendix A of this report. GASB 25 generally requires two schedules of historical trend information for the plan: a schedule of funding progress and a schedule of employer contributions as they relate to the plan s Annual Required Contribution (ARC). The chart below provides historical information on the plan s ARC. Although the amount of plan s ARC has varied over the years, it has remained fairly level as a percent of payroll until 2003, as shown in the following table. The rate increased out of the previous range primarily due to the decline in the stock market. 10.00% 8.00% 6.00% 4.00% 2.00% 0.00% 4.03% 4.41% 4.30% Annual Required Contribution (as a Percent of Compensation) 4.46% 4.72% 4.22% 3.98% 4.31% 5.69% 6.35% 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 8.44% Annual Required Contribution Actual Contribution The required schedule of employer contributions is included as Table 12 along with the schedule of funding progress. Plans that utilize the aggregate cost method are not required to present a schedule of funding progress but merely need to disclose the use of the aggregate cost method. The pension cost is the ARC plus an amortization of the net pension obligation. The net pension obligation is the cumulative difference between the ARC and the employer contribution to the plan. In this context, the net pension obligation will decrease if contributions exceed the ARC and will increase if the entire ARC is not contributed each year. Table 11 shows the calculation of the net pension obligation and annual pension cost. January 1, 2005 Valuation (5/2005) 21

TABLE 13 NOTES TO REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION The information presented in required supplementary schedules was determined as part of the actuarial valuations at the dates indicated. Additional information as of the latest actuarial valuation follows: Valuation date January 1, 2005 Actuarial cost method Amortization method Remaining amortization period Asset valuation method Actuarial assumptions: Aggregate N/A. The Aggregate actuarial cost method does not identify or separately amortize the unfunded actuarial accrued liabilities. N/A An expected actuarial value is determined equal to the prior year s actuarial value of assets plus cash flow (excluding realized and unrealized gains or losses) for the year ended on the valuation date and assuming 7.5% interest. The unrecognized gain or loss is then added to the expected value. Any difference between this amount and the market value of assets is set up as a gain or loss base and amortized over five years. The expected actuarial value plus the amortization of prior gain or losses is constrained to a value of 80% to 120% of the market value of assets at the valuation date in order to determine the final actuarial value of assets.

SECTION 7 HISTORY AND PROJECTIONS Table 14 shows seven years of the more important Plan statistics. Participant Statistics: Changes, if any, in the active and inactive participants characteristics over time can cause significant changes in costs. Investment Return: Investment return often represents the largest sources of actuarial gain or loss. Present Value of Projected Benefits: This represents the present value of benefits earned currently, plus all benefits expected to be earned in the future. Assumptions: Changes, if any, in the assumptions used to value plan liabilities can have a dramatic effect. Several key assumptions are shown in Table 13. Table 15 provides a projection of benefit payments over the next twenty years. This can be useful for the investment manager in planning future liquidity requirements, although this exhibit does not attempt to predict future lump sum payments to terminating employees.

APPENDIX A ACTUARIAL PROCEDURES AND ASSUMPTIONS The actuarial assumptions used in the valuation are intended to estimate future experience affecting projected benefit flow and investment earnings. Any variations in future experience from that expected from these assumptions will result in corresponding changes in the estimated costs of the plan s benefits. The tables in this section give rates of decrement, referred to in actuarial notation by the general symbol q'. The underlying theory is described more fully in Jordan, Life Contingencies, Society of Actuaries (Second Edition, 1967), page 277. Any age referred to in a table is always the age of the person at his or her nearest birthday. Actuarial Cost Method The actuarial cost method we use to calculate the funding requirements of the Plan is called the aggregate actuarial cost method. The actuarial cost method is used to calculate the normal cost. The normal cost plus a provision for expenses is the Annual Required Contribution. The cost method allocates the total cost of the Plan over time: the normal cost is that portion of the cost allocated to the current period. The present value of future normal costs is equal to the excess of the projected benefit liability over the actuarial value of assets. The normal cost accrual rate is equal to the present value of future normal costs divided by the present value of future covered payroll for current active participants. The normal cost is the covered current payroll multiplied by the normal cost accrual rate. Under the aggregate cost method, normal costs will be a level percent of payroll when all assumptions are met. Variations in actual experience will result in increases or decreases in the normal cost accrual rate. Actuarial Value of Assets An expected actuarial value is determined equal to the prior year's actuarial value of assets plus cash flow (excluding realized and unrealized gains or losses) for the year ended on the valuation date and assuming 7.5% interest. The unrecognized gain or loss is then added to the expected value. Any difference between this amount and the market value of assets is set up as a gain or loss base and amortized over five years. The expected actuarial value plus the amortization of prior gain or losses is constrained to a value of 80% to 120% of the market value of assets at the valuation date in order to determine the final actuarial value of assets.

APPENDIX B PLAN SUMMARY All actuarial calculations are based upon our understanding of the provisions of City of Fort Collins General Employees Retirement Plan, as adopted and in effect on January 1, 2005. This summary does not attempt to cover all of the detailed provisions. Plan Year The Plan Year is the 12-month period beginning January 1 and ending December 31. Effective Date The original effective date of the plan is January 1, 1971. The plan was most recently restated effective December 31, 2001 and amended effective July 1, 2003. Eligible Employee Classification All persons employed to fill a classified position defined by the city, excluding police officers and firefighters, shall become a member of the Plan on the later of the Effective Date of the Plan or Date of Hire. The Plan was frozen to new entrants as of January 1, 1999. Accrued Benefit The Accrued Benefit for each Member is the Member's Normal Retirement Benefit calculated using Average Monthly Compensation and Credited Service as of the calculation date. In no event will a Member s Accrued Benefit be less than the Accrued Benefit earned as of June 30, 2003. Average Monthly Compensation A Member s Average Monthly Compensation, as of a given date, is the average of the highest 60 consecutive months of considered compensation during the last 120 months of Credited Service. In the event that a participant was employed on a part time basis during any portion of this period, the compensation will be converted to a full time equivalent for purposes of calculating the Average Monthly Compensation. Compensation Compensation is the gross compensation included as taxable income on Form W-2, excluding bonuses, compensatory time recorded as additional hours, overtime pay, workers' compensation accrued vacation pay, taxable fringe benefits, but including any amounts contributed by the City to a salary reduction agreement including Code Sections 125, 132(f)(4), 402(a)(8), 403(b), 402(a), and 457. January 1, 2005 Valuation (5/2005) 31

Credited Service A Year of Service is credited for each plan year a member works 2,080 hours. If the member works less than 2,080 hours, a partial Year of Service will be credited on a prorate basis based on the number of hours for which compensation is paid. Service is credited while a member is on long-term disability as long as no benefits are being paid from the plan. Vested Accrued Benefit A Participant's Vested Accrued Benefit as of a given date is equal to the product of his Accrued Benefit multiplied by his Vested Percentage as of that same date. Vesting Schedule Members become vested in their Accrued Benefit according to the following schedule: Years of Percent Credited Service Vested Less than 2 0% 2 40% 3 60% 4 80% 5 and over 100% Normal Retirement Date A Participant s Normal Retirement Age is the first of the month coincident with or next following the attainment of age 65. Normal Retirement Benefits Each Member who becomes eligible for a Normal Retirement Benefit under the plan will be entitled to receive a monthly retirement pension benefit beginning at the Member's Normal Retirement Date and payable in the Normal Benefit Form equal to: 1.5% of Average Monthly Compensation, multiplied by Credited Service. Normal Benefit Form Life Annuity - Monthly pension benefit payable for the lifetime of the Member. Early Retirement (a) (b) Early Retirement Date A Member's Early Retirement Date is the first day of the month so elected by the Member which coincides with or next follows the date upon which the Member attains age 55 and completes 2 Years of Service. Early Retirement Benefit A Member's Early Retirement Benefit is a monthly pension benefit equal to his Accrued Benefit determined as of his Early Retirement Date, reduced by 1/15 th for the first 5 years and 1/30 th for each of the next 5 years payments commence prior to age 65.
