SECTION A EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City of Atlantic Beach General Employees’ Retirement System 9/30/2010 Actuarial Valuation | A-1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Funding Objective The funding objective of the Retirement System is to establish and receive contributions, expressed as percents of active member payroll, which will remain approximately level from year to year and will not have to be increased for future generations of citizens in the absence of benefit improvements. This objective is stated in the Retirement System Ordinance and meets the requirements of Part VII, Chapter 112, Florida Statutes. Comparison of Required Employer Contributions The following is a comparison of required contributions developed in this year's and the last actuarial valuations: Gross Contribution Requirement $ 1,202,019 $ 940,505 $ 261,513 As % of Expected Payroll 29.53 % 21.60 % 7.94 % Expected Employee Contribution $ 203,503 $ 217,736 $ (14,234) As % of Covered Payroll 5.00 % 5.00 % 0.00 % Required Employer Contribution $ 998,516 $ 722,769 $ 275,747 As % of Covered Covered Payroll 24.53 % 16.60 % 7.94 % Based on 9/30/10 Valuation Valuation (Decrease) Based on 10/01/09 Increase For FYE 9/30/2012 For FYE 9/30/2011 Minimum Required Contribution As illustrated in the preceding chart, the City contribution necessary to support the current benefits for the General Employees is $998,516 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012. 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. Revisions in Actuarial Assumptions and Methods This valuation reflects the following revisions in actuarial assumptions and methods, as adopted by the Board:  The mortality table is updated from the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table to the RP-2000 Generational Mortality Table.  The turnover rates were updated to reflect the recent and anticipated experience. We continue using a table with select rates based on service and ultimate rates based on age. The new rates are generally lower than used in previous valuations.  The retirement rates were updated. We continue using a table with rates based on age.  The disability rates for female employees have been changed to be the same as applicable for male City of Atlantic Beach General Employees’ Retirement System 9/30/2010 Actuarial Valuation | A-2 employees. We continue using an age based table. All rates currently used are the same as used previously for male employees.  The long-term inflation assumption has been lowered to an annual rate of 3% from 5% used previously.  The salary increase assumptions were updated to reflect the recent and anticipated experience. We continue using an age based table. The new rates are generally higher than used in previous valuations.  The rate of payroll increase assumption has been lowered to an annual rate of 4% from 5.5% used previously.  The Board chose to maintain the same long-term expected rate of return at 8% per year without change. The net effect of these changes combined includes an increase in the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability of $525,869. Changes to the City Contribution (for the year ending 9/30/2012) resulting from the assumption changes include: a new amortization payment of $34,975; an increase of amounts required to amortize the existing bases of $ 24,204 and an increase in the Normal Cost of $ 112,584. 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 16.60 % Payment on UAAL prior to changes 2.30 Experience gain/loss 2.49 Change in administrative expense 0.15 Change in normal cost before expenses (1.66) Revision in benefits 0.00 Revision in assumptions/methods 4.65 Contribution rate this year 24.53 % There was a net actuarial loss this year which is due to the actuarial asset investment return being less than City of Atlantic Beach General Employees’ Retirement System 9/30/2010 Actuarial Valuation | A-3 expected (5% return on an actuarial basis vs. 8.0% assumed for the year ending September 30, 2010), partially offset by lower than expected salary increases that were well below the expected (-.4% actual vs. 6% assumed). Administrative expenses were higher than the previous year by 0.15% of pay. The remainder of this Report includes detailed actuarial valuation results, financial information, miscellaneous information and statistics, and a summary of plan provisions.

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 freeze using the valuation assumptions. 1.

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 a long range funding goal. 9/30/00 $ 5,229 $ 6,462 81 % 9/30/01 * 5,587 6,986 80 9/30/02 5,747 7,479 77 9/30/03 * 5,951 8,186 73 9/30/04 6,273 9,005 70 9/30/05 * 6,802 9,822 69 9/30/06 * 7,609 10,505 72 9/30/07 8,594 11,668 74 9/30/08 * 9,209 12,624 73 9/30/09 9,841 13,682 72 9/30/10 * 10,618 15,180 70 Valuation Date Actuarial Value of Assets (in Thousands) Actuarial Accrued Liability (in Thousands) % of AAL Covered by Assets *Reflects change in benefits, actuarial assumptions and/or asset method.

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 $3,840,840 2. Last Year's Employer Normal Cost 326,782 3. Last Year's Actual City Contibution 599,292 4.

City of Atlantic Beach General Employees’ Retirement System 9/30/2010 Actuarial Valuation | B-15 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 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 phase 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 9/30/2010 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 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. Annual Rates for Salary Increase for Sample Ages Age: 20 30 40 50 60 Expected Increase (After Assumption Changes) 14.0% 8.7% 6.5% 6.0% 5.5% Expected Increase (Before Assumption Changes) 8.5% 8.1% 5.7% 5.7% 5.5% City of Atlantic Beach General Employees’ Retirement System 9/30/2010 Actuarial Valuation | B-17 Demographic Assumptions The mortality table was the RP-2000 Healthy White Collar tables for males and females, as projected from the year 2001 using Projection Scale AA.

City of Atlantic Beach General Employees’ Retirement System 9/30/2010 Actuarial Valuation | B-19 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. year. City of Atlantic Beach General Employees’ Retirement System 9/30/2010 Actuarial Valuation | B-20 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.

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.
