The Board of Trustees February 23, 2015 Page2 This report has been prepared by actuaries who have substantial experience valuing public employee retirement systems. To the best of our knowledge the information contained in this report is accurate and fairly presents the actuarial position of the Retirement Plan as of the valuation date. All calculations have been made in conformity with generally accepted actuarial principles and practices, with the Actuarial Standards of Practice issued by the Actuarial Standards Board and with applicable statutes. Gabriel, Roeder, Smith & Company will be pleased to answer questions pertaining to the valuation and to meet with you to review this Report. Respectfully submitted, GABRIEL, ROEDER, SMITH AND COMPANY James J. Rizzo, ASA, MAAA Senior Consultant & Actuary Piotr Krekora, ASA, MAAA Consultant & Actuary Gabriel, Roeder, Smith and Company STATEMENT BY ENROLLED ACTUARY 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.

GRS SECTION A EXECUTIVE SUMMARY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Closed Plan In reviewing this Report, it is important to keep in mind that the System is closed to new entrants. One of the consequences of this closure is that the annual payment on the unfunded accrued liability for the City will continue to increase as a percentage of covered payroll as the number of active plan members and such payroll decreases from year to year. Therefore, the overall cost as a percentage of covered payroll will be increasing each year in the absence of significant actuarial gains. Required Employer Contributions The following is a comparison of required contributions developed in this year's and the last actuarial valuations: For FYE 9/30/2016 For FYE 9/30/2015 Based on 9/30/14 Based on 9/30/13 Increase Valuation Valuation (Decrease) Gross Contribution Requirement $ 1,256,217 $ 1,027,619 $ 228,598 As % of Expected Payroll 52.39 % 37.59 % 14.80 % Expected Employee Contribution $ 143,873 $ 164,006 $ (20,133) As % of Covered Payroll 6.00 % 6.00 % 0.00 % Required Employer Contribution (If Made in Equal Monthly Installments) $ 1,112,344 $ 863,613 $ 248,731 As % of Covered Payroll 46.39 % 31.59 % 14.80 % Required Employer Contribution (If Made in Whole at the Beginning of the Year) $ 1,071,708 827,745 243,963 As % of Covered Payroll 44.69 % 30.28% 14.41% As illustrated in the preceding chart, the City contribution necessary to support the current benefits for the General Employees is $1,112,344 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016. Please note that the Required Employer Contribution for that fiscal year is developed assuming it would be deposited in monthly intervals throughout the year. For completeness, we are also presenting an amount required to be contributed if deposited in a single sum at the beginning of the contribution year in lieu of periodic installments. Revisions in Benefits There were no revisions in benefits for the current year. Revisions in Actuarial Assumptions and Methods Beginning with this September 30, 2014 Valuation DROP balances are being included in Actuarial Accrued Liability and in Plan Assets. This change has been made for consistency with GASB Statements 67 and 68 in treatment of DROP Balances. GRS City of Atlantic Beach General Employees' Retirement System 9/30/2014 Actuarial Valuation I A-1 In addition, upon the Board's approval, the investment return assumption has been lowered from 8.0% to 7.0% per year, the assumed rate of inflation has been lowered from 3.0% to 2.5% per year. These changes increased the required contribution by approximately $304,000. 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 tenninate, 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, 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 for an open plan 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 increase in the Employer Contribution as a percent of pay is primarily due to the plan closure resulting in a decreased payroll -covered payroll have been dropping faster than the employer contribution. The components of change in the actuarially required contribution are as follows: Contribution rate last year 31.59 % Payment on UAAL 1.75 Experience gain/loss 0.50 Change in administrative expense 0.06 Change in normal cost before expenses (0.19) Revision in benefits 0.00 Revision in assumptions/methods 12.68 Contribution rate this year 46.39 % There was a net actuarial loss this year which is primarily due to the valuation asset return being 6.3% when compared to the 8.0% assumption and by a slight increase in the administrative expenses as a percentage of payroll. The loss was largely offset by lower than expected salary increases of 4.8% versus 5.9% assumed. The remainder of this Report includes detailed actuarial valuation results, financial information, miscellaneous information and statistics, and a summary of plan provisions.

I GRS City of Atlantic Beach General Employees' Retirement System 9/30/2014 Actuarial Valuation I B-3 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 tenninations, 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 tennination 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.

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: GRS Derivation of Experience Gain (Loss) 1. Last Year's VAAL 2. Last Year's Employer Normal Cost 3.

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 dollar. 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. Economic Assumptions The wage inflation rate assumed in this valuation was 3.5% 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. For an ongoing plan with a constant active population, a long tenn payroll growth rate often converges to the assumed rate of wage inflation. 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 2.50% per year. Price inflation assumption has been changed from 3% beginning with 9/30/2014 valuation. 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 7.0% per year, net of investment-related expenses. This assumption has been changed fi'om 8% beginning with 9/30/2014 valuation. GRS City of Atlantic Beach General Employees' Retirement System 9/30/2014 Actuarial Valuation I B-15 The rates of salary increases used in the valuation are illustrated in the following table (rates below include 2.5% price inflation). Annual Rates for Salary Increase for Sample Ages Age: 20 30 40 50 60 Expected Increase 13.5% 8.2% 6.0% 5.5% 5.0% Demographic Assumptions The mortality rates used were taken from the gender specific RP-2000 Combined Healthy Participant Mortality Tables for males and females, with generational projections from the year 2000 Projection Scale AA. The mortality table was set forward ten years for projecting the expected mortality of disabled lives.

Investment expenses are offset against gross investment income. Assumed administrative expenses are added to the Normal Cost. Exact fractional service is used to determine the amount of benefit payable. Disability and mortality decrements do not operate during the first 5 years of service. Disability and separation do not operate during retirement eligibility. Decrements of all types are assumed to occur at mid-year. 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. Vested members who terminate with a benefit worth less than 100% of their own accumulated contributions were assumed to forfeit their vested benefit. 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. 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. The normal form of benefit is a life annuity. Beginning of fiscal year. This is equivalent to assuming that reported pays represent the actual amount paid during the previous fiscal year. It is assumed that members accrue one year of service credit per year. GRS City of Atlantic Beach General Employees' Retirement System 9/30/2014 Actuarial Valuation I B-18 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 Actuarial Present Value Amortization Experience Gain (Loss) Normal Cost Reserve Account Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability Valuation Assets 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. An account used to indicate that funds have been set aside for a specific purpose and is not generally available for other uses. The difference between the actuarial accrued liability and valuation assets. Sometimes referred to as "unfunded accrued liability." 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.
