FROM: Richard B. Heiwig, City Manager
SUBJECT: Police and Fire Pension Actuarial Reports
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to approve the actuarial
valuation reports of the Police and Fire Pension Funds as of
December 31, 1994 .
BACKGROUND
r The State Statutes allow a municipality to retain an actuary
to perform an independent and more in-depth study of the
police and fire pension funds.
Actuarial Associates, Ltd. , who have performed actuarial
valuations for the City for the past six years, completed the
independent study of the police and fire pension funds for the
year ending December 31, 1994 . The studies determined a level
of contributions that would meet the requirements of the State
Statutes and fund the plans on an actuarially sound basis.
The current actuarial reports recommend a 1996 funding level
of $127, 661 for the police pension and $550, 691 for the fire
pension. This information can be found on page 1 of the
actuarial reports.
Both pensions are in excellent financial condition as shown in
Section III beginning on page 9 of each report. The police .
pension is 90.0% funded while the fire pension is funded at
94. 4%. The actuarial recommendations will fully fund the
pensions as required by State Statutes.
In 1995, the City contributed $118, 600 and $527, 620 to the
police and fire pension funds respectively. The State'*/
actuaries, using very conservative actuarial assumptions
proposed funding the pension funds at $1, 234, 138 and
$1, 267, 311 for the. police and fire pension funds respectively.

The majority of the City' s contributions are derived from the
annual property tax levy. Therefore a savings of over $1.5
million in the property tax levy has been realized by hiring
the independent actuary to perform the studies. Similar type
savings have also been realized in previous years. The fee
for the past year's study was $4, 000.
COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED
Copies of the actuarial report will be given to the police and
fire pension boards and reviewed at their board meetings.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City's contribution for 1996 will be funded through the
annual property tax levy.
LEGAL IMPACT
None.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council formally accept the
police and fire pension actuarial reports for the period
ending December 31, 1994 and place them on file.

General Discussion
I This section of the report discusses the experience of the fund during the
year ended December 31 , 1994, and explains the change in contribution .
IA. Census Data
During the year, the following changes occurred in the group of active
II police officers:
Active
Officers Salaries
II 1 . Included in 12/31 /93 valuation 125 $5,348,385
2. Retirements -2 -118,224
3. Disabled 0 0
4. Died -1 -52,968
5. Vested terminations 0 0
6. Non-vested terminations -3 -109,704
I 7. Officers active all year 119 $5,067,489
8. Salary increases to officers
active all year 137,383 (+2.7%)
9. New members 7 217,056
I10. Included in 12/31 /94 valuation 126 $5,421 ,928
Gains and losses due to salary increases are measured against the salaries of
I officers who are active throughout the year. In 1994, there were 119 such
officers, who received average annual increases of 2.7%. The valuation
assumes 5.5% increase per annum, so that Item 8 above was expected to be
I $278,712.
Salary increases have risen considerably since 1990, even though the average
Iincrease during the last nine years has been 5.9%
Salary increases equal to the assumed rate increase the normal cost by the
I assumed rate. However, increases greater than the assumed rate have a greater
effect on the annual contribution. This is so because unexpected increases
also affect the accrued liability, since a salary increase affects a member' s
Ientire working life.
In a later paragraph of this Section, we show that the expected 5.5% salary
II increases would have raised the Normal Cost by about $25,700. Since the
actual increases were less than expected, the contribution decreased by about
$31 ,900.

A history of salary increases is as follows:
Fiscal year Approximate
Endinq December 31 Annual Increase
1986 4.4%
I 1987 5.0
1988 5.0
1989 5.6
I 1990 5.6
1991 8.5
1992 8.4
I 1993 8.3
1994 2.7
1986-1994 5.9%
1 B. Financial Data
During the fiscal year ended December 31 , 1994, the assets of the Plan
Irealized a return of approximately 8.2%. A history of investment return
is as follows:
I Fiscal year Approximate
Ending December 31 Annual Increase
1985 11 .8%
I 1986 11 .4
1987 11 .0
1988 10.9
I 1989 10.7
1990 10.2
1991 10.2
I 1992 9.3
1993 8.9
1994 8.2
I1985-1994 10.3%
The investment return during 1994 was less than the 8.5% assumption,
I resulting in an actuarial loss which increased the required contribution
by about $3,200.
I As can be seen on page 9, investment gains and losses are directly
reflected as (decreases) /increases, respectively, in the unfunded accrued
liability, and funded over the remaining amortization period.

C. Contributions Less Than Required
The report on the valuation as of December 31 , 1993 showed a contribution
requirement for 1994 in the amount of $620,412. On an accrual basis,
contributions during 1994 amounted to $619, 118. The shortfall increased
the 1995 requirement by about $100.
D. Inactive Experience
The liability for members receiving pensions or eligible to receive
pensions in the future was $21 ,300 higher than expected as of December 31 ,
1994. This experience loss resulted in an increase of about $1 ,000 in the
contribution required for 1995.
E. New Hires
Seven new officers were hired prior to the end of 1994. These new hires
increased the required contribution by about $19,300.
F. Reconciliation of Costs
1 . Gross contribution for 1994 $620,400
2. Increases due to
a. Expected salary increases 25,700
b. Investment return less than expected 3,200
c. New hires 19,300
Ed . Experience loss among inactives 1 ,000
e. Contribution less than required 100
49,300
3. Decreases due to
a. Salary increases less than expected -31 ,900
b. Experience gains among active participants -1 ,400
-33,300
4. Gross contribution for 1995 $636,400

G. History of Valuation Results
The following table summarizes the results of the last five actuarial
valuations. Two columns of figures are shown for 1993, one prior to
reflecting the 1993 benefit and funding changes, and one that takes those
changes into account .
As can be seen, the Normal Cost has stayed at the same level as a percent
of payroll. The annual gross contribution has remained essentially the
same for the last four years as a percentage of payroll. Thus the
assumptions selected in 1989 seem to be appropriate for the fund .
The 1989 valuation showed the Plan to be 91 . 1% funded on an on-going plan
basis. This figure rose to 94.4% in 1993, but dropped to 89.9% after the
11 benefit changes were taken into consideration. In 1994 it was 90.0%.

The following assumptions were made:
1 . Mortality according to the UP-1984 table for spouses currently
receiving benefits, otherwise no mortality.
2. Active members assumed to retire as soon as they reach age 53 and
complete 20 years of service.
3. Benefits, except those to surviving spouses and the disabled, assumed
to increase each year by 3% of the prior year' s benefit if age is 55
or over. Disabled pensioners receive increases equal to 3% of the
initial benefit awarded if age 60 or over.
4. Refunds of contributions upon termination are not included in the
calculations.

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 difference, 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.
