Atlantic Beach, Florida
Dear Board Members:
We are pleased to submit herein our September 30, 2012 Actuarial Valuation Report for the City of Atlantic Beach
Police Officers’ Retirement System. The contribution results apply to the City's fiscal year ending September 30,
2014.
This report was prepared at the request of the Board of Trustees and is intended for use by the Pension Plan and
those designated or approved by the Board of Trustees. This report may be provided to parties other than the
Pension Plan only in its entirety and only with the permission of the Board of Trustees.
The purpose of the valuation is to measure the Plan’s funding progress, to determine the employer contribution rate
for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2014 and to determine the actuarial information for Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 25 and No. 27.
This report should not be relied on for any purpose other than the purpose described above.
The developed findings included in this report consider data or other information through September 30, 2011.
Future actuarial measurements may differ significantly from the current measurements presented in this report due
to such factors as the following: plan experience differing from that anticipated by the economic or demographic
assumptions; changes in economic or demographic assumptions; increases or decreases expected as part of the
natural operation of the methodology used for these measurements (such as the end of an amortization period or
additional cost or contribution requirements based on the plan’s funded status); and changes in plan provisions or
applicable law.
The calculations are based upon assumptions regarding future events, which may or may not materialize. They are
also based upon present and proposed plan provisions that are outlined in the report. If you have reason to believe
that the assumptions that were used are unreasonable, that the plan provisions are incorrectly described, or that
conditions have changed since the calculations were made, you should contact the author of this report prior to
relying on information in the report.
The valuation was based upon information furnished by the City, concerning Plan benefits, financial transactions,
plan provisions and active members, terminated members, retirees and beneficiaries. We checked for internal and
year-to-year consistency, but did not otherwise audit the data. We are not responsible for the accuracy or
completeness of the information provided by the City.

Minimum Required Contribution
As illustrated in the preceding chart, the contribution necessary from the City and State to support the current
benefits for the Police Officers is $691,255 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014. The City may be able to
use up to $88,806 of State premium tax moneys to satisfy part of that requirement, leaving the City contribution at
$602,449. However, the City may need to contribute more, should receipts from the State fall short of the
expected amount presented in the table above. In no event, the combined City and State contribution should be
less than 42.10% of the total payroll for the contribution year, unless made in full on the first day of that year.
Please note that the Required Employer Contribution for that fiscal year is assumed to be deposited in monthly
intervals throughout the year.

Revisions in Benefits
There were no revisions in benefits for the current year.
Pending changes being considered would not have an effective date until many months following the October 1,
2012 valuation date. The current financial and actuarial effects of any such amendment, if adopted in the next few
months, would be reflected in an Actuarial Impact Statement that will be prepared shortly. Depending on the
nature of the amendment, the Minimum Required Contribution for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014 may
change from what is described herein.
Revisions in Actuarial Assumptions or Methods
There were no revisions in actuarial assumptions or methods for the current year.
Actuarial Experience
Actuarial gains occur in a year whenever the experience of the plan is better than was assumed. For example, if
investment performance were better than the level being assumed in the actuarial valuation and costing process,
then an actuarial gain results and would have the effect of lowering the Minimum Required Contribution for the
year. Whenever more employees terminate employment than were assumed would terminate, fewer employees
are then expected to actually retire from the City, resulting in an actuarial gain for the plan.
Actuarial losses occur in a year whenever the experience of the plan is worse than was assumed. In the examples
given above, if the reverse were to occur, then actuarial losses would result. As another example, if salaries
increased in one year were higher than assumed or more new employees were hired than terminated, an actuarial
loss would occur.
The actuarial valuation cost method which determines the Minimum Required Contribution is designed to produce
contribution requirements which remain level as a percent of payroll whenever the experience of the plan matches
the actuarial assumptions used. Contribution Requirements are also level whenever actuarial losses exactly offset
actuarial gains.
Analysis of Change in Employer Contribution
The components of change in the actuarially required contribution are as follows:
Contribution rate last year 30.41%
Payment on UAAL 7.12
Experience (gain)/loss 0.26
Change in administrative expense (0.81)
Change in normal cost before expenses (0.11)
Revision in benefits 0.00
Revision in assumptions/methods 0.00
Change in State Revenue (0.18)
Contribution rate this year 36.69%
There was a net actuarial loss this year which is primarily due to a vested terminated participant who was
retroactively approved for disability retirement during the past year. This loss was partially offset by lower than
expected salary increases (-0.8% vs. 7.6% assumed).
Administrative expenses were less than the previous year by 0.81% of pay. The dollar amount of the State
Revenue is expected to remain at the same level but due to a recent payroll reduction it will represent a larger

percentage of the projected payroll.
There was a decrease in the 10-year average payroll growth rate (from 3.35% to 2.62%). The covered payroll is
expected to grow at the rate of 4% in the long term. However, in accordance with the requirements of Ch.
112.64 (5) (a), F.S. this assumed payroll growth used in developing the amortization payments, cannot exceed
the actual average annual payroll growth rate based on the last 10 years. This limit has been affecting
amortization amounts for the last three years. Due to a decrease in the 10-year average, the amortization
payment of the UAAL increased this year, adding to the actuarial losses described previously, which ultimately
increased the contribution.
The remainder of this Report includes detailed actuarial valuation results, financial information, miscellaneous
information and statistics, and a summary of plan provisions.

FINANCIAL SOUNDNESS
The purpose of this portion of the Report is to provide certain measures which indicate the financial soundness of
the program. These measures relate to short term solvency and long term solvency.
The various percentages listed in this Section as of a single valuation date are not that significant. What is
significant, however, is the trend of the rates over a period of years. It is also important to keep in mind that each
time benefits or assumptions are revised; actuarial liabilities are created or diminished. Any newly created
liabilities are financed systematically over a period of future years. All actuarially computed values in this analysis
are based on the actuarial assumptions utilized in the respective years' actuarial valuations.
Short Term Solvency
The ultimate test of financial soundness is the program's ability to pay all promised benefits when due. The
program's progress in accumulating assets to pay all promised benefits can be measured by comparing the market
value of assets with:
1. The actuarial present value of projected benefits payable to those already receiving benefits and to vested
terminations, and
2. The actuarial present value of accrued benefits payable to active participants. This amount is based on
benefits earned to date without future credited service or salary increases.
The total of the two items should generally be fully covered by assets. That portion of the total of the two items
covered by assets should increase over time. Often assets continue to grow beyond the actuarial present value of
these two items.
Increases in benefits will, of course, adversely affect the trend in the years when such increases are first reflected
in the actuarial values. Although different actuarial assumptions would be used in the event of a termination of the
program, this test shows how much of the benefits accrued to date might be covered by assets in the event of a plan
freeze using the valuation assumptions.

Long Term Solvency
Over the longer term, the solvency of an ongoing plan can be measured by comparing the Actuarial Value of
Assets to an amount known as the Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL) under the Entry Age Actuarial Cost Method.
This item has often been called the "past service liability". Its derivation differs from the short term solvency value
derivation in several ways. The short term solvency liability number is based on the benefits accrued to date by the
participants while the long term solvency liability number is based on what the normal costs accrued to date by the
employer. In addition, the short term solvency asset number is the market value, while the long term asset number
is the actuarial value of assets. As in the case of the short term solvency values, the AAL is affected immediately
by any revisions in benefits or assumptions. The accumulation of assets to equal the AAL can be considered a
long range funding goal.

ACTUARIAL GAINS AND LOSSES
The assumptions used to anticipate mortality, employment turnover, investment income, expenses, salary
increases, and other factors have been based on long range trends and expectations. Actual experience can vary
from these expectations. The variance is measured by the gain and loss for the period involved. If significant long
term experience reveals consistent deviation from what has been expected and that deviation is expected to
continue, the assumptions should be modified. The net actuarial gain (loss) for the past year is computed as
follows:
1.Last Year's UAAL $3,759,831
2.Last Year's Employer Normal Cost 270,003
3.Last Year's Actual City Contibution 628,898

ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS AND COST METHOD
Valuation Methods
Actuarial Cost Method - The actuarial cost method is a procedure for allocating the actuarial present value of
benefits and expenses to time periods. Normal cost and the allocation of benefit values between service
rendered before and after the valuation date were determined using the Entry-Age Actuarial Cost Method.
The entry-age actuarial cost method allocates the actuarial present value of each member's projected benefits on
a level basis over the member's pensionable compensation between the entry age of the member and the
estimated active status exit ages. The portion of the actuarial present value allocated to the valuation year is
called the normal cost. The portion of the actuarial present value not provided for by the actuarial present value
of future normal costs is called the actuarial accrued liability. Deducting accrued assets from the actuarial
accrued liability determines the unfunded actuarial accrued liability.
Financing of Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liabilities - The unfunded actuarial accrued liability was financed
as a level percent of member payroll.
Actuarial Value of Assets - The Actuarial Value of Assets phases in the difference between the expected and
actual return on market value of assets at the rate of 25% per year. The Actuarial Value of Assets will be
further adjusted to the extent necessary to fall within the corridor whose lower limit is 80% of the Market Value
of plan assets and whose upper limit is 120% of the Market Value of plan assets. During periods when
investment performance exceeds the assumed rate, Actuarial Value of Assets will tend to be less than Market
Value. During periods when investment performance is less than assumed rate, Actuarial Value of Assets will
tend to be greater than Market Value.
Valuation Assumptions
The actuarial assumptions used in the valuation are shown in this Section.
City of Atlantic Beach Police Officers’
Retirement System
9/30/2012 Actuarial Valuation | B-17
Economic Assumptions
The investment return rate assumed in the valuations is 8.00% per year, compounded annually (net of
investment expenses).
The Wage Inflation Rate assumed in this valuation was 4% per year. The Wage Inflation Rate is defined to be
the portion of total pay increases for an individual that are due to macro economic forces including
productivity, price inflation, and labor market conditions. The wage inflation rate does not include pay changes
related to individual merit and seniority effects. The price inflation rate assumed in this valuation was 3% per
year.
The plan does not provide for automatic post-retirement cost of living adjustments (COLA) of retiree benefits.
Ad-hoc COLA increases have been adopted in the past upon approval by the City. Most recently, such
increases have been granted in 1987, 1996 and 2001. No assumptions are made regarding future adjustments.
Any such increases will be recognized as they occur.
The payroll growth rate would be 4%, except that it is limited this year due the lower actual payroll growth
rate over the last 10 years in accordance with the requirements of Ch. 112.64 (5) (a), F.S. The rate used to
amortize the unfunded actuarial accrued liabilities is 2.62% per year.
The total rate of return is defined as earnings resulting from interest, dividends, realized gains (losses) and
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) divided by the beginning market value of the fund, adjusted for cash flow
during the year. Total rate of return is as the assumed to be 8.00% per year, net of investment-related expenses.
The rates of salary increases used in the valuation are illustrated in the following table.

This assumption is used to measure the probabilities of each benefit payment being made after retirement. For
active members, the probabilities of dying before retirement were based upon the same mortality table as members
dying after retirement. All deaths before retirement are assumed to be non-service connected.
The rates of retirement used to measure the probability of eligible members retiring under normal and early

Miscellaneous and Technical Assumptions
Administrative & Investment
Expenses
Annual administrative expenses are assumed to be equal to the actual
expenses paid during the preceding fiscal year. Investment expenses
are offset against gross investment income. Assumed administrative
expenses are added to the Normal Cost.
Benefit Service Exact fractional service is used to determine the amount of benefit
payable.
Decrement Operation Disability and mortality decrements do not operate during the first 5
years of service. Disability and separation do not operate during
retirement eligibility.
Decrement Timing Decrements of all types are assumed to occur mid year.
Eligibility Testing Eligibility for benefits is determined based upon the age nearest
birthday and service nearest whole year on the date the decrement is
assumed to occur.
Forfeitures Vested members who terminate with a benefit worth less than 100%
of their own accumulated contributions were assumed to forfeit their
vested benefit.
Incidence of Contributions Employer contributions are assumed to be received in 12 equal
monthly installments. Member contributions are assumed to be
received continuously throughout the year based upon the computed
percent of payroll shown in this report, and the actual payroll payable
at the time contributions are made.
Marriage Assumption 80% of members are assumed to be married for purposes of death-in-
service benefits. Male spouses are assumed to be three years older
than female participants and female spouses are assumed to be three
years younger than male participants for active member valuation
purposes.
Normal Form of Benefit The normal form of benefit is a life annuity with 10 year certain.
Pay Increase Timing Beginning of fiscal year. This is equivalent to assuming that reported
pays represent the actual amount paid during the previous fiscal year.
Service Credit Accruals It is assumed that members accrue one year of service credit per year.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Actuarial Accrued Liability The difference between (i) the actuarial present value of future plan benefits,
and (ii) the actuarial present value of future normal cost. Sometimes referred to
as “accrued liability” or “past service liability.”
Accrued Service The service credited under the plan which was rendered before the date of the
actuarial valuation.
Actuarial Assumptions Estimates of future plan experience with respect to rates of mortality, disability,
turnover, retirement, rate or rates of investment income and salary increases.
Decrement assumptions (rates of mortality, disability, turnover and retirement)
are generally based on past experience, often modified for projected changes in
conditions. Economic assumptions (salary increases and investment income)
consist of an underlying rate in an inflation-free environment plus a provision
for a long-term average rate of inflation.
Actuarial Cost Method A mathematical budgeting procedure for allocating the dollar amount of the
“actuarial present value of future plan benefits” between the actuarial present
value of future normal cost and the actuarial accrued liability. Sometimes
referred to as the “actuarial funding method.”
Actuarial Equivalent A single amount or series of amounts of equal value to another single amount
or series of amounts, computed on the basis of the rate(s) of interest and
mortality tables used by the plan.
Actuarial Present Value The amount of funds presently required to provide a payment or series of
payments in the future. It is determined by discounting the future payments at a
predetermined rate of interest, taking into account the probability of payment.
Amortization Paying off an interest-bearing liability by means of periodic payments of
interest and principal, as opposed to paying it off with a lump sum payment.
Experience Gain (Loss) A measure of the difference between actual experience and that expected based
upon a set of actuarial assumptions during the period between two actuarial
valuation dates, in accordance with the actuarial cost method being used.
Normal Cost The annual cost assigned, under the actuarial funding method, to current and
subsequent plan years. Sometimes referred to as “current service cost.” Any
payment toward the unfunded actuarial accrued liability is not part of the
normal cost.
Reserve Account An account used to indicate that funds have been set aside for a specific
purpose and is not generally available for other uses.
Unfunded Actuarial
Accrued Liability
The difference between the actuarial accrued liability and valuation assets.
Sometimes referred to as “unfunded accrued liability.”
Valuation Assets The value of current plan assets recognized for valuation purposes. Generally
based on market value plus a portion of unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

ACTUARIAL VALUE OF ASSETS
As of September 30, 2012
Valuation assets are calculated using a smoothed market value over a period of four (4) years, as prescribed
under Internal Revenue Procedure 2000-40. The asset value determined under this method will be adjusted to
be no greater than 120% and no less than 80% of the fair market value.
Under this method, the actuarial value of assets is equal to the market value of assets less a decreasing fraction
(1/nth per year, where n equals the number of years in the smoothing period) of the gain or loss for each of the
preceding 3 years.
Under this method, a gain or loss for a year is determined by calculating the difference between the expected
market value of the assets at the valuation date and the actual market value of the assets at the valuation date.
The expected value of the assets for the year is the market value of the assets at the valuation date for the prior
year brought forward with interest at the valuation interest rate to the valuation date for the current year plus
contributions minus disbursements (i.e., benefits paid and expenses), all adjusted with interest at the valuation
rate to the valuation date for the current year. If the expected value is less than the market value, the differen ce
is a gain. Conversely, if the expected value is greater than the market value, the difference is a loss.
Calculation of Valuation Assets is shown on the following page.

INVESTMENT RATE OF RETURN
The investment rate of return has been calculated on the following bases:
Basis 1 - Cost Value: Interest, dividends and realized gains (losses) divided by the beginning cost value of the
fund, adjusted for cash flow during the year. Not illustrated below.
Basis 2 - Market Value: Interest, dividends, realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
divided by the beginning market value of the fund, adjusted for cash flow during the year. This figure
is normally called the Total Rate of Return.
Basis 3 - Actuarial Value: Investment earnings recognized in the Actuarial Value of Assets divided by the
weighted average of the Actuarial Value of Assets during the year.

The Board of Trustees
City of Atlantic Beach
General Employee Retirement System
Atlantic Beach, Florida
Dear Board Members:
We are pleased to submit herein our September 30, 2012 Actuarial Valuation Report for the City of Atlantic Beach
General Employees’ Retirement System. The contribution results apply to the Plan Year ending September 30,
2013 and to the City's fiscal year ending September 30, 2014.
This report was prepared at the request of the Board of Trustees and is intended for use by the Pension Plan and
those designated or approved by the Board of Trustees. This report may be provided to parties other than the
Pension Plan only in its entirety and only with the permission of the Board of Trustees.
The purpose of the valuation is to measure the Plan’s funding progress, to determine the employer contribution rate
for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2014 and to determine the actuarial information for Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 25 and No. 27.
This report should not be relied on for any purpose other than the purpose described above.
The developed findings included in this report consider data or other information through September 30, 2012.
Future actuarial measurements may differ significantly from the current measurements presented in this report due
to such factors as the following: plan experience differing from that anticipated by the economic or demographic
assumptions; changes in economic or demographic assumptions; increases or decreases expected as part of the
natural operation of the methodology used for these measurements (such as the end of an amortization period or
additional cost or contribution requirements based on the plan’s funded status); and changes in plan provisions or
applicable law.
The calculations are based upon assumptions regarding future events, which may or may not materialize. They are
also based upon current plan provisions that are outlined in the report. If you have reason to believe that the
assumptions that were used are unreasonable, that the plan provisions are incorrectly described, or that conditions
have changed since the calculations were made, you should contact the author of this report prior to relying on
information in the report.
The valuation was based upon information furnished by the City, concerning Plan benefits, financial transactions,
plan provisions and active members, terminated members, retirees and beneficiaries. We checked for internal and
year-to-year consistency, but did not otherwise audit the data. We are not responsible for the accuracy or
completeness of the information provided by the City.
This actuarial valuation and/or cost determination was prepared and completed by me or under my direct
supervision, and I acknowledge responsibility for the results. To the best of my knowledge, the results are
complete and accurate. In my opinion, the techniques and assumptions used are reasonable, meet the requirements

and intent of Part VII, Chapter 112, Florida Statutes, and are based on generally accepted actuarial principles and
practices. There is no benefit or expense to be provided by the plan and/or paid from the plan's assets for which
liabilities or current costs have not been established or otherwise taken into account in the valuation. All known
events or trends which may require a material increase in plan costs or required contribution rates have been taken
into account in the valuation.
The signing actuaries are independent of the plan sponsor.

with you to review this Report.

Minimum Required Contribution
As illustrated in the preceding chart, the City contribution necessary to support the current benefits for the General
Employees is $1,098,090 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014. Please note that the Required Employer
Contribution for that fiscal year is developed assuming it would be deposited in monthly intervals throughout the
year.
Revisions in Benefits
There were no revisions in benefits for the current year. Pending changes being considered would not have an
effective date until many months following the October 1, 2012 valuation date. The current financial and actuarial
effects of any such amendment, if adopted in the next few months, would be reflected in an Actuarial Impact
Statement that will be prepared shortly. Depending on the nature of the amendment, the Minimum Required
Contribution for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014 may change from what is described herein.
Revisions in Actuarial Assumptions and Methods
There were no revisions in actuarial assumptions or methods for the current year.
City of Atlantic Beach General Employees’
Retirement System
9/30/2012 Actuarial Valuation | A-2
Actuarial Experience
Actuarial gains occur in a year whenever the experience of the plan is better than was assumed. For example, if
investment performance were better than the level being assumed in the actuarial valuation and costing process,
then an actuarial gain results and would have the effect of lowering the Minimum Required Contribution for the
year. Whenever more employees terminate employment than were assumed would terminate, fewer employees
are then expected to actually retire from the City, resulting in an actuarial gain for the plan.
Actuarial losses occur in a year whenever the experience of the plan is worse than was assumed. In the examples
given above, if the reverse were to occur, then actuarial losses would result. As another example, if salaries
increased in one year higher than was assumed, or more new employees were hired than terminated, an actuarial
loss would occur.
The actuarial valuation cost method which determines the Minimum Required Contribution is designed to produce
contribution requirements which remain level as a percent of payroll whenever the experience of the plan matches
the actuarial assumptions used. Contribution Requirements are also level whenever actuarial losses exactly offset
actuarial gains.
Analysis of Change in Employer Contribution
The components of change in the actuarially required contribution are as follows:
Contribution rate last year 26.34%
Payment on UAAL 3.07
Experience gain/loss (1.03)
Change in administrative expense (0.29)
Change in normal cost before expenses (0.21)
Revision in benefits 0.00
Revision in assumptions/methods 0.00
Contribution rate this year 27.88%
There was a net actuarial gain this year which is due to the lower than expected salary increases (1.2% actual vs.
5.9% assumed). Administrative expenses were less than the previous year by 0.21% of pay.
Nevertheless, the Annual Required Contribution increased this year, due to a decrease in the 10-year average
payroll growth rate (from 4.26% to 2.98%). This reduction had an increasing effect on the amount of amortization
component of the contribution. The covered payroll is assumed to grow at the rate of 4% in the long term and
this assumption has been used in the process of developing amortization payments in the past. However, in
accordance with the requirements of Ch. 112.64(5)(a), F.S. this assumption needs to be limited by the actual
average annual payroll growth based on the last 10 years. Consequently, due to a decrease in the 10-year
average, the amortization payment of the UAAL increased this year, offsetting the actuarial gains described
previously, which ultimately increased the contribution.
The remainder of this Report includes detailed actuarial valuation results, financial information, miscellaneous
information and statistics, and a summary of plan provisions.

FINANCIAL SOUNDNESS
The purpose of this portion of the Report is to provide certain measures which indicate the financial soundness of
the program. These measures relate to short term solvency and long term solvency.
The various percentages listed in this Section as of a single valuation date are not that significant. What is
significant, however, is the trend of the rates over a period of years. It is also important to keep in mind that each
time benefits or assumptions are revised; actuarial liabilities are created or diminished. Any newly created
liabilities are financed systematically over a period of future years. All actuarially computed values in this analysis
are based on the actuarial assumptions utilized in the respective years' actuarial valuations.
Short Term Solvency
The ultimate test of financial soundness is the program's ability to pay all promised benefits when due. The
program's progress in accumulating assets to pay all promised benefits can be measured by comparing the market
value of assets with:
1. The actuarial present value of projected benefits payable to those already receiving benefits and to vested
terminations, and
2. The actuarial present value of accrued benefits payable to active participants. This amount is based on
benefits earned to date without future credited service or salary increases.
The total of the two items should generally be fully covered by assets. That portion of the total of the two items
covered by assets should increase over time. Often assets continue to grow beyond the actuarial present value of
these two items.
Increases in benefits will, of course, adversely affect the trend in the years when such increases are first reflected
in the actuarial values. Although different actuarial assumptions would be used in the event of a termination of the
program, this test shows how much of the benefits accrued to date might be covered by assets in the event of a plan
freeze using the valuation assumptions.

Long Term Solvency
Over the longer term, the solvency of an ongoing plan can be measured by comparing the Actuarial Value of
Assets to an amount known as the Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL) under the Entry Age Actuarial Cost Method.
This item has often been called the "past service liability". Its derivation differs from the short term solvency value
derivation in several ways. The short term solvency liability number is based on the benefits accrued to date by the
participants while the long term solvency liability number is based on what the normal costs accrued to date by the
employer. In addition, the short term solvency asset number is the market value, while the long term asset number
is the actuarial value of assets. As in the case of the short term solvency values, the AAL is affected immediately
by any revisions in benefits or assumptions. The accumulation of assets to equal the AAL can be considered a
long range funding goal.

ACTUARIAL GAINS AND LOSSES
The assumptions used to anticipate mortality, employment turnover, investment income, expenses, salary
increases, and other factors have been based on long range trends and expectations. Actual experience can vary
from these expectations. The variance is measured by the gain and loss for the period involved. If significant long
term experience reveals consistent deviation from what has been expected and that deviation is expected to
continue, the assumptions should be modified. The net actuarial gain (loss) for the past year is computed as
follows:
1.Last Year's UAAL $4,933,603
2.Last Year's Employer Normal Cost 381,619
3.Last Year's Actual City Contibution 998,516

ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS AND COST METHOD
Valuation Methods
Actuarial Cost Method - The actuarial cost method is a procedure for allocating the actuarial present value of
benefits and expenses to time periods. Normal cost and the allocation of benefit values between service
rendered before and after the valuation date were determined using the Entry-Age Actuarial Cost Method.
The entry-age actuarial cost method allocates the actuarial present value of each member's projected benefits on
a level basis over the member's pensionable compensation between the entry age of the member and the
estimated active status exit ages. The portion of the actuarial present value allocated to the valuation year is
called the normal cost. The portion of the actuarial present value not provided for by the actuarial present value
of future normal costs is called the actuarial accrued liability. Deducting accrued assets from the actuarial
accrued liability determines the unfunded actuarial accrued liability.
Financing of Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liabilities - The unfunded actuarial accrued liability was financed
as a level percent of member payroll.
Actuarial Value of Assets - The Actuarial Value of Assets phases in the difference between the expected and
actual return on market value of assets at the rate of 25% per year. The Actuarial Value of Assets will be
further adjusted to the extent necessary to fall within the corridor whose lower limit is 80% of the Market Value
of plan assets and whose upper limit is 120% of the Market Value of plan assets. During periods when
investment performance exceeds the assumed rate, Actuarial Value of Assets will tend to be less than Market
Value. During periods when investment performance is less than assumed rate, Actuarial Value of Assets will
tend to be greater than Market Value.
Valuation Assumptions
The actuarial assumptions used in the valuation are shown in this Section.
City of Atlantic Beach General Employees’
Retirement System
9/30/2012 Actuarial Valuation | B-16
Economic Assumptions
The investment return rate assumed in the valuation is 8.0% per year, compounded annually (net of investment
expenses).
The wage inflation rate assumed in this valuation was 4.0% per year. The Wage Inflation Rate is defined to be
the portion of total pay increases for an individual that are due to macroeconomic forces including productivity,
price inflation, and labor market conditions. The wage inflation rate does not include pay changes related to
individual merit and seniority effects. The price inflation rate assumed in this valuation was 3.00% per year.
The plan does not provide for automatic post-retirement cost of living adjustments (COLA) of retiree benefits.
Ad-hoc COLA increases have been adopted in the past upon approval by the City. Most recently, such
increases have been granted in 1987, 1996 and 2001. No assumptions are made regarding future adjustments.
Any such increases will be recognized as they occur.
The total rate of return is defined as earnings resulting from interest, dividends, realized gains (losses) and
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) less investment-related expenses, all divided by the beginning market
value of the fund, adjusted for cash flow during the year. Total rate of return is as the assumed to be 8.0% per
year, net of investment-related expenses.
The rates of salary increases used in the valuation are illustrated in the following table (rates below include 3%
price inflation).

This assumption is used to measure the probabilities of each benefit payment being made after retirement. For
active members, the probabilities of dying before retirement were based upon the same mortality table as
members dying after retirement. All deaths before retirement are assumed to be non-service connected.

Miscellaneous and Technical Assumptions
Administrative & Investment
Expenses
Annual administrative expenses are assumed to be equal to the actual
expenses paid during the preceding fiscal year. Investment expenses
are offset against gross investment income. Assumed administrative
expenses are added to the Normal Cost.
Benefit Service Exact fractional service is used to determine the amount of benefit
payable.
Decrement Operation Disability and mortality decrements do not operate during the first 5
years of service. Disability and separation do not operate during
retirement eligibility.
Decrement Timing Decrements of all types are assumed to occur at mid-year.
Eligibility Testing Eligibility for benefits is determined based upon the age nearest
birthday and service nearest whole year on the date the decrement is
assumed to occur.
Forfeitures Vested members who terminate with a benefit worth less than 100%
of their own accumulated contributions were assumed to forfeit their
vested benefit.
Incidence of Contributions Employer contributions are assumed to be received in 12 equal
monthly installments. Member contributions are assumed to be
received continuously throughout the year based upon the computed
percent of payroll shown in this report, and the actual payroll payable
at the time contributions are made.
Marriage Assumption 80% of members are assumed to be married for purposes of death-in-
service benefits. Male spouses are assumed to be three years older
than female participants and female spouses are assumed to be three
years younger than male participants for active member valuation
purposes.
Normal Form of Benefit The normal form of benefit is a life annuity.
Pay Increase Timing Beginning of fiscal year. This is equivalent to assuming that reported
pays represent the actual amount paid during the previous fiscal year.
Service Credit Accruals It is assumed that members accrue one year of service credit per year.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Actuarial Accrued Liability The difference between (i) the actuarial present value of future plan benefits,
and (ii) the actuarial present value of future normal cost. Sometimes referred to
as “accrued liability” or “past service liability.”
Accrued Service The service credited under the plan which was rendered before the date of the
actuarial valuation.
Actuarial Assumptions Estimates of future plan experience with respect to rates of mortality, disability,
turnover, retirement, rate or rates of investment i ncome and salary increases.
Decrement assumptions (rates of mortality, disability, turnover and retirement)
are generally based on past experience, often modified for projected changes in
conditions. Economic assumptions (salary increases and investment income)
consist of an underlying rate in an inflation-free environment plus a provision
for a long-term average rate of inflation.
Actuarial Cost Method A mathematical budgeting procedure for allocating the dollar amount of the
“actuarial present value of future plan benefits” between the actuarial present
value of future normal cost and the actuarial accrued liability. Sometimes
referred to as the “actuarial funding method.”
Actuarial Equivalent A single amount or series of amounts of equal value to another single amount
or series of amounts, computed on the basis of the rate(s) of interest and
mortality tables used by the plan.
Actuarial Present Value The amount of funds presently required to provide a payment or series of
payments in the future. It is determined by discounting the future payments at a
predetermined rate of interest, taking into account the probability of payment.
Amortization Paying off an interest-bearing liability by means of periodic payments of
interest and principal, as opposed to paying it off with a lump sum payment.
Experience Gain (Loss) A measure of the difference between actual experience and that expected based
upon a set of actuarial assumptions during the period between two actuarial
valuation dates, in accordance with the actuarial cost method being used.
Normal Cost The annual cost assigned, under the actuarial funding method, to current and
subsequent plan years. Sometimes referred to as “current service cost.” Any
payment toward the unfunded actuarial accrued liability is not part of the
normal cost.
Reserve Account An account used to indicate that funds have been set aside for a specific
purpose and is not generally available for other uses.
Unfunded Actuarial
Accrued Liability
The difference between the actuarial accrued liability and valuation assets.
Sometimes referred to as “unfunded accrued liability.”
Valuation Assets The value of current plan assets recognized for valuation purposes. Generally
based on market value plus a portion of unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

ACTUARIAL VALUE OF ASSETS
As of September 30, 2012
Valuation assets are calculated using a smoothed market value over a period of four (4) years, as prescribed
under Internal Revenue Procedure 2000-40. The asset value determined under this method will be adjusted to
be no greater than 120% and no less than 80% of the fair market value.
Under this method, the actuarial value of assets is equal to the market value of assets less a decreasing fraction
(1/nth per year, where n equals the number of years in the smoothing period) of the gain or loss for each of the
preceding 3 years.
Under this method, a gain or loss for a year is determined by calculating the difference between the expected
market value of the assets at the valuation date and the actual market value of the assets at the valuation date.
The expected value of the assets for the year is the market value of the assets at the valuation date for the prior
year brought forward with interest at the valuation interest rate to the valuation date for the current year plus
contributions minus disbursements (i.e., benefits paid and expenses), all adjusted with interest at the valuation
rate to the valuation date for the current year. If the expected value is less than the market value, the difference
is a gain. Conversely, if the expected value is greater than the market value, the difference is a loss.
Calculation of Valuation Assets is shown on the following page.

INVESTMENT RATE OF RETURN
The investment rate of return has been calculated on the following bases:
Basis 1 - Cost Value: Interest, dividends and realized gains (losses) divided by the beginning cost value of the
fund, adjusted for cash flow during the year.
Basis 2 - Market Value: Interest, dividends, realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
divided by the beginning market value of the fund, adjusted for cash flow during the year. This figure
is normally called the Total Rate of Return.
Basis 3 - Actuarial Value: Investment earnings recognized in the Actuarial Value of Assets divided by the
weighted average of the Actuarial Value of Assets during the year.
