P Certification We have completed the Roll-Forward Actuarial Valuation for the Sample City Defined Benefit Plan as of June 30, 2014. The purpose of this report is to summarize the valuation results of the liabilities and annual costs to fund the program. The results shown in this report are based upon the employee data and the financial information that was provided by Sample City. This valuation was performed in accordance with generally accepted actuarial principles and practices under the rules of GASB 68. In my opinion, the valuation utilizes reasonable actuarial assumptions and reflects our best estimate of anticipated experience. To the best of my knowledge, the Roll-Forward valuation fairly discloses the actuarial position of the plan. Respectively submitted, Marvin J. Paull; FSA, EA, MAAA Managing Director GovInvest, Inc. 4
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report summarizes key results of the roll-forward actuarial valuation as of 6/30/14. Plan changes will include: Changes in Assumptions: The following valuation assumptions have changed since the previous valuation: (1) Mortality: TBD (2) Interest Discount: TBD (3) Salary Scale: TBD (4) Turnover: TBD (4) Other: TBD 5
efits Demographic Summary EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (continued) To aid in understanding the nature of plan costs, the following table and graph summarizes the number of plan participants. ACTIVE RETIRED TOTAL DEMOGRAPHIC 201 178 379 From the above table we can see, there are 379 participants of which retirees represent 47% as of 6/30/14. The number of retirees will likely increase significantly over the next ten years as the active employees become eligible for retirement and before there is a relatively stationary retired group when the retiree count stabilizes. 6
Key Results EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (continued) Below is a graphical summary of the key results from the analysis. As is evident, the Net Pension Liability (Unfunded Liability) has been steadily increasing over time, in excess of the Market Value of assets (Liabilities growing faster than assets). Additionally below is a breakout of the total required costs borne by the employer and the employee. Both of these costs have been steadily rising. The total employer cost (unfunded liability amortization plus normal cost) is the total dollar amount the employer must fund, while the employee normal cost is the total dollar amount the employee must pay to fund his or her portion of his or her liability. See pg. 13 for a breakout of the data and explanation of terms.

Conclusions Cash Flow: Assets of the shared pool are currently substantial in dollars but are only 36% of the total liability. Funding Progress: Assets as a percent of Net Pension Liability have increased from 30% in 2005 to 36% in 2014. This is reasonable considering the severe economic downturn in 2008 through 2011. Gains / Losses: Since 2010, there have been steady gains due to favorable experience, changes in valuation assumptions, investment earnings, and the percentage share of contributions. Other: With a cost-sharing plan, the city is subject the experience of all other cities in the cost-sharing pool. Consequently, the effect on cost and liabilities will usually be different than on a stand along basis. 9

Benefits GASB 68 Costs and Liabilities ANALYSIS AND METRICS (continued) The below table shows the breakdown of the Costs and Liabilities associated with the pension plan. The required employer contribution is the sum of the Normal Cost (cost to fund liabilities for all future services) and the Unfunded Liability Contribution (cost to amortize the unfunded portion of the accrued liability for past services rendered). The employee contribution is the Normal Cost the employee must pay to fund his or her portion liabilities for all future services. The total contribution is the sum of the required employer contribution and the employee contribution. The Total Pension Liability is the liability associated with all past services rendered (normal cost is assumed to fund all future services rendered). The Net Pension Liability (previously unfunded liability) is the Total Pension Liability minus the market value of assets that support the liability in the trust, and comprises the unfunded obligation your agency has. ($ in Thousands) 2005 2008 2011 2014 Normal Cost $530 $435 $940 $1,278 Unfunded Liability Contribution 552 385 709 817 Employer Annual Contribution $1,082 $820 $1,649 $2,095 Employee Contribution 462 505 554 668 Total Contribution $1,544 $1,325 $2,203 $2,763 Total Pension Liability $14,139 $16,472 $18,583 $20,321 Less Assets 3,269 4,120 5,088 5,411 Net Pension Liability $10,870 $12,352 $13,495 $14,910 13
