TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: City Manager
SUBJECT: Police and Fire Actuarial Reports
PURPOSE: To review actuarial valuation reports of the Police and
Fire Pension Funds as of December 31, 1992.
BACKGROUND: Each year the City is required to have actuarial
valuations completed for the locally administered pension funds.
The valuation report recommends the dollar amount required to
ensure that the pension funds comply with the state statues that
flik mandate the funds be fully funded by the year 2020 (reflected on
page 7 of each report) . In both cases the City contributed more
than the required amount.
Actuary City Adjusted
Recommendation Contributed Contribution
Police $109,325 $469,299 $219,656
Fire 309,763 982,822 503,712
The City contributed amount is unusually high for 1992 due to a
change in accounting method. In order to implement the modified
accrual basis of accounting for the pension funds, two years' tax
levies were recognized as revenue in 1992. After adjusting for
this change the comparable figures are shown under the "adjusted
contribution" column.
Both pensions are in excellent financial condition as shown in
Section III of each report. The investment income yields fell
below 10% for the first time in many years but are still very good
when compared to current investment yields.
RECOMMENDATION: Formally accept the reports and place them on
file. The staff will respond to any questions you may have.

Section II
General Discussion
This section of the report discusses the experience of the fund during the
year ended December 31, 1991, and explains the change in contribution.
A. Census Data
During the year, the following changes occurred in the group of active
policemen:
Active
Policemen Salaries
1. Included in 12/31/91 valuation 112 $4,335,624
2. Retirements -2 -107,080
3. Disabled -1 -38,328
4. Vested terminations -1 -49,068
5. Non-vested terminations -74.592
6. Policemen active all year 106 $4,066,556
7. Salary increases to policemen
active all year _ 341,956 (+8.4%)
8. New members +11 491.784
9. Included in 12/31/92 valuation 122 $4,900,296
Average salary increases to members active for the entire year were more than
projected by the valuation assumptions, 5.5%. This generated an actuarial
loss which increased the minimum required contribution by about $42,200.
A history of salary increases is as follows:
Fiscal year Approximate
Ending December 31 Annual Increase
1986 4.4%
1987 5.0
1988 5.0
1989 5.6
1990 5.6
1991 8.5
1992 8.4
1986-1992 6.1

B. Financial
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1992, the assets of the Plan
realized a return of approximately 9.3%. A history of investment return
it as follows:
Fiscal year Approximate
Ending December 31 Annual Yield
1984 12.0%
1985 11.8
1986 11.4
1987 11.0
1988 10.9
1989 10.7
1990 10.2
1991 10.2
1992 9.3
1984-1992 10.8
The investment return during 1992 was in excess of the 8.5% assumption,
resulting in actuarial gains which reduced the minimum required contribu-
r tion by about $16,800.
C. Reconciliation of Costs
1. Gross contribution for 1992 $520,300
2. Increases due to
a. Expected salary increases 19,900
b. Salary increases greater than expected 42,200
c. New hires 43.900
106,000
3. Decreases due to
a. Investment return greater than expected -16,800
b. Contributions greater than required -18,600

Actuarial Method
Entry Age Normal Cost Method
This method determines a normal cost which is the level percentage of
earnings which should be contributed each year, starting in the first
year of employment, in order to pay for the promised benefits.
The accrued liability is the present value of all the normal costs which
should have been paid up to the valuation date.
The unfunded accrued liability is the difference between the accrued
liability and the assets in the fund. To the extent there is a differ-
ence, it is paid off over a set period of years just as a conventional
mortgage is paid off.
Gains and losses arise because experience varies from the assumed. Such
gains and losses are reflected in the accrued liability.
