* We have updated the amount shown in the October 1, 2013 Report to reflect the State Contribution received in August 2014.
The required employer contribution has been adjusted for interest on the basis that contributions are made in equal payments at the end of each quarter. The contribution has also been computed under the assumption that the amount to be received from the State on behalf of police officers in 2015 and 2016 will be at least $92,553. If the actual payment from the State falls below this amount, then the Town must increase its contribution by the difference. The actual Employer and State contributions during the year ending September 30, 2014 were $377,272 and $92,553, respectively, for a total of $469,825 The annual required contribution was $465,226 for that year.
2 Revisions in Benefits There were no revisions in benefits since the last valuation. Revisions in Actuarial Assumptions or Methods There were no revisions in actuarial assumptions or methods since the last valuation. Actuarial Experience There was a net actuarial gain of $131,291 for the year which means that actual experience was more favorable than expected. The gain is primarily due to lower than expected salary increases and a recognized investment rate of return that was greater than expected. The return on market value of assets was 10.1% and the return on actuarial value of assets was 8.2%. The actuarial gain caused the employer contribution to decrease by 0.78% of covered payroll. Funded Ratio This year’s funded ratio is 88.0% compared to 85.4% last year. The ratio is equal to the actuarial value of assets divided by the actuarial accrued (past service) liability. Cost of Living Adjustment The cost of living adjustment is not payable to retirees and beneficiaries since there are cumulative net actuarial losses as of September 30, 2014 as shown on page 16. Analysis of Change in Employer Contribution The components of change in the required employer contribution are as follows:
Contribution rate last year Change in assumptions/methods Change in Normal Cost Rate Amortization Payment on UAL Experience gain/loss Change in administrative expense Change in State revenue
22.73 % 0.00 (0.49) 0.59 (0.78) 0.60 (0.35)

Variability of Future Contribution Rates The Actuarial Cost Method used to determine the contribution rate is intended to produce contribution rates which are generally level as a percent of payroll. Even so, when experience differs from the assumptions, as it often does, the employer’s contribution rate can vary significantly from yearto-year. Over time, if the year-to-year gains and losses offset each other, the contribution rate would be expected to return to the current level, but this does not always happen. The Market Value of Assets exceeds the Actuarial Value of Assets by $352,403 as of the valuation date (see Section C). This difference will be gradually recognized over the next several years. In turn, the computed employer contribution rate will decrease by approximately 2% of covered payroll over the same period in the absence of offsetting losses. Relationship to Market Value If Market Value had been the basis for the valuation, the Employer contribution rate would have been 20.22% and the funded ratio would have been 90.9%. In the absence of other gains and losses, the employer contribution rate should decrease to that level over the next several years. Conclusion The remainder of this Report includes detailed actuarial valuation results, pension fund information, miscellaneous information and statistics, and a summary of plan provisions.
4 STATE CONTRIBUTION RESERVE Increments in Chapter revenue over that received in 1998 must first be used to fund the cost of compliance with minimum benefits. As of the valuation date, a few of the minimum benefits have not been met. The definition of compensation should be changed to total cash remuneration.
Also, the minimum service-connected
disability benefit should be changed to the greater of the accrued benefit and 42% of average final compensation with eligibility from the date of hire. The non service-connected disability benefit should provide the accrued benefit as a minimum.

The Accumulated Excess shown in line 7 (if any) is being held in reserve and is subtracted from Plan assets (see Section C of this Report). The Base Amount in line 8 is the amount the employer may take as a credit against its required contribution; however, in no event may the employer take credit for more than the actual amount of Chapter revenue received. The Base Amount will continue to be updated each year based on actual Chapter revenue up to a maximum of $92,553.

10 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: Last Year's UAAL

ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS AND COST METHOD Valuation Methods Actuarial Cost Method - Normal cost and the allocation of benefit values between service rendered before and after the valuation date were determined using an Individual Entry-Age Actuarial Cost Method having the following characteristics: (i) the annual normal cost for each individual active member, payable from the date of employment to the date of retirement, is sufficient to accumulate the value of the member’s benefit at the time of retirement; (ii) each annual normal cost is a constant percentage of the member’s year by year projected covered pay. Actuarial gains/(losses), as they occur, reduce (increase) the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability. Financing of Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liabilities - Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liabilities (full funding credit if assets exceed liabilities) were amortized by level (principal & interest combined) dollar contributions over a reasonable period of future years. Actuarial Value of Assets - The Actuarial Value of Assets phase in the difference between the expected return on actuarial value and actual return on market value of assets at the rate of 20% 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 investment return rate assumed in the valuation is 7.50% per year, compounded annually (net after investment expenses). The Wage Inflation Rate assumed in this valuation was 4.00% 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 assumed real rate of return over wage inflation is defined to be the portion of total investment return that is more than the assumed wage inflation rate. Considering other economic assumptions, the 7.50% investment return rate translates to an assumed real rate of return over wage inflation of 3.50%.
22
The rates of salary increase used for individual members are in accordance with the following table. This assumption is used to project a member’s current salary to the salaries upon which benefits will be based. % Increase in Salary Years of Service All
Merit and Seniority 2.0%
Base (Economic) 4.0%
Total Increase 6.0%
Demographic Assumptions The mortality table was the RP-2000 Combined Healthy Participant Mortality Tables for males and females. Future mortality improvements are projected to all future years from the year 2000 using Scale AA (on a fully generational basis). Probability of Future Life Sample Attained Dying Next Year Expectancy (years) Ages (in 2014) Men Women Men Women 50 0.17 % 0.13 % 34.26 35.63 55 0.28 0.24 29.14 30.66 60 0.54 0.47 24.21 25.89 65 1.05 0.90 19.60 21.40 70 1.80 1.56 15.41 17.28 75 80

11.63 8.41
13.56 10.25
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. For disabled retirees, the regular mortality tables are set forward 5 years in ages to reflect impaired longevity. The rates of retirement used to measure the probability of eligible members retiring during the next year were as follows: Number of Years After First Eligibility for Normal Retirement 0 1 2 3 4 5
Probability of Normal Retirement 80 % 40 40 40 40 100
23 Rates of separation from active membership were as shown below (rates do not apply to members eligible to retire and do not include separation on account of death or disability). This assumption measures the probabilities of members remaining in employment.

Miscellaneous and Technical Assumptions
Administrative & Investment Expenses
The investment return assumption is intended to be the return net of investment expense. Annual administrative expenses are assumed to be equal to the average of the expenses over the previous two years. 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 operate during retirement eligibility.
Decrement Timing
Decrements of all types are assumed to occur at the beginning of the 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
For vested separations from service, it is assumed that 0% of members separating will withdraw their contributions and forfeit an employer financed benefit. It was further assumed that the liability at termination is the greater of the vested deferred benefit (if any) or the member’s accumulated contributions.
Incidence of Contributions
Employer contributions are assumed to be made at the end of each calendar quarter. 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
100% of males and 100% of females are assumed to be married for purposes of death-in-service benefits. Male spouses are assumed to be three years older than female spouses for active member valuation purposes.
Normal Form of Benefit
A life annuity with 10 years certain is the normal form of benefit.
Pay Increase Timing
Middle of fiscal year. This is equivalent to assuming that reported pays represent amounts paid to members during the year ended on the valuation date.
Service Credit Accruals
It is assumed that members accrue one year of service credit per year.
25 GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL)
The difference between the Actuarial Present Value of Future Benefits, and the Actuarial Present Value of Future Normal Costs.
Actuarial Assumptions
Assumptions about future plan experience that affect costs or liabilities, such as: mortality, withdrawal, disablement, and retirement; future increases in salary; future rates of investment earnings; future investment and administrative expenses; characteristics of members not specified in the data, such as marital status; characteristics of future members; future elections made by members; and other items.
Actuarial Cost Method
A procedure for allocating the Actuarial Present Value of Future Benefits between the Actuarial Present Value of Future Normal Costs and the Actuarial Accrued Liability.
Actuarial Equivalent
Of equal Actuarial Present Value, determined as of a given date and based on a given set of Actuarial Assumptions.
Actuarial Present Value (APV)
The amount of funds required to provide a payment or series of payments in the future. It is determined by discounting the future payments with an assumed interest rate and with the assumed probability each payment will be made.
Actuarial Present Value of Future Benefits (APVFB)
The Actuarial Present Value of amounts which are expected to be paid at various future times to active members, retired members, beneficiaries receiving benefits, and inactive, nonretired members entitled to either a refund or a future retirement benefit. Expressed another way, it is the value that would have to be invested on the valuation date so that the amount invested plus investment earnings would provide sufficient assets to pay all projected benefits and expenses when due.
Actuarial Valuation
The determination, as of a valuation date, of the Normal Cost, Actuarial Accrued Liability, Actuarial Value of Assets, and related Actuarial Present Values for a plan. An Actuarial Valuation for a governmental retirement system typically also includes calculations of items needed for compliance with GASB No. 67.
Actuarial Value of Assets
The value of the assets as of a given date, used by the actuary for valuation purposes. This may be the market or fair value of plan assets or a smoothed value in order to reduce the year-to-year volatility of calculated results, such as the funded ratio and the actuarially required contribution (ARC).
26 Amortization Method
A method for determining the Amortization Payment. The most common methods used are level dollar and level percentage of payroll. Under the Level Dollar method, the Amortization Payment is one of a stream of payments, all equal, whose Actuarial Present Value is equal to the UAAL. Under the Level Percentage of Pay method, the Amortization Payment is one of a stream of increasing payments, whose Actuarial Present Value is equal to the UAAL. Under the Level Percentage of Pay method, the stream of payments increases at the rate at which total covered payroll of all active members is assumed to increase.
Amortization Payment
That portion of the plan contribution or ARC which is designed to pay interest on and to amortize the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability.
Amortization Period
The period used in calculating the Amortization Payment.
Annual Required Contribution (ARC)
The employer’s periodic required contributions, expressed as a dollar amount or a percentage of covered plan compensation. The ARC consists of the Employer Normal Cost and Amortization Payment.
Closed Amortization Period
A specific number of years that is reduced by one each year, and declines to zero with the passage of time. For example if the amortization period is initially set at 30 years, it is 29 years at the end of one year, 28 years at the end of two years, etc.
Employer Normal Cost
The portion of the Normal Cost to be paid by the employer. This is equal to the Normal Cost less expected member contributions.
Equivalent Single Amortization Period
For plans that do not establish separate amortization bases (separate components of the UAAL), this is the same as the Amortization Period. For plans that do establish separate amortization bases, this is the period over which the UAAL would be amortized if all amortization bases were combined upon the current UAAL 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 valuations. To the extent that actual experience differs from that assumed, Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liabilities emerge which may be larger or smaller than projected. Gains are due to favorable experience, e.g., the assets earn more than projected, salaries do not increase as fast as assumed, members retire later than assumed, etc. Favorable experience means actual results produce actuarial liabilities not as large as projected by the actuarial assumptions. On the other hand, losses are the result of unfavorable experience, i.e., actual results that produce Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liabilities which are larger than projected.
27 Funded Ratio
The ratio of the Actuarial Value of Assets to the Actuarial Accrued Liability.
GASB
Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
GASB No. 27 and GASB No. 67
These are the governmental accounting standards that set the accounting rules for public retirement systems and the employers that sponsor or contribute to them. Statement No. 27 sets the accounting rules for the employers that sponsor or contribute to public retirement systems, while Statement No. 67 sets the rules for the systems themselves.
Normal Cost
The annual cost assigned, under the Actuarial Cost Method, to the current plan year.
Open Amortization Period
An open amortization period is one which is used to determine the Amortization Payment but which does not change over time. In other words, if the initial period is set as 30 years, the same 30-year period is used in determining the Amortization Period each year. In theory, if an Open Amortization Period is used to amortize the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability, the UAAL will never completely disappear, but will become smaller each year, either as a dollar amount or in relation to covered payroll.
Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability
The difference between the Actuarial Accrued Liability and Actuarial Value of Assets.
Valuation Date
The date as of which the Actuarial Present Value of Future Benefits are determined. The benefits expected to be paid in the future are discounted to this date.

SINGLE DISCOUNT RATE GASB Statement No. 67 A single discount rate of 7.50% was used to measure the total pension liability. This single discount rate was based on the expected rate of return on pension plan investments of 7.50%. The projection of cash flows used to determine this single discount rate assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that employer contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between the total actuarially determined contribution rates and the member rate. Based on these assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments (7.50%) was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
Regarding the sensitivity of the net pension liability to changes in the single discount rate, the following presents the plan’s net pension liability, calculated using a single discount rate of 7.50%, as well as what the plan’s net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a single discount rate that is 1-percentage-point lower or 1-percentage-point higher: Sensitivity of the Net Pension Liability to the Single Discount Rate Assumption*

(33,867) (0.43) %
* We have updated the amount shown in the October 1, 2013 Report to reflect the State Contribution received in August 2014.
The required employer contribution has been adjusted for interest on the basis that contributions are made in equal payments at the end of each quarter. The contribution has also been computed under the assumption that the amount to be received from the State on behalf of police officers in 2015 and 2016 will be at least $92,553. If the actual payment from the State falls below this amount, then the Town must increase its contribution by the difference. The actual Employer and State contributions during the year ending September 30, 2014 were $377,272 and $92,553, respectively, for a total of $469,825 The annual required contribution was $465,226 for that year.
2 Revisions in Benefits There were no revisions in benefits since the last valuation. Revisions in Actuarial Assumptions or Methods There were no revisions in actuarial assumptions or methods since the last valuation. Actuarial Experience There was a net actuarial gain of $131,291 for the year which means that actual experience was more favorable than expected. The gain is primarily due to lower than expected salary increases and a recognized investment rate of return that was greater than expected. The return on market value of assets was 10.1% and the return on actuarial value of assets was 8.2%. The actuarial gain caused the employer contribution to decrease by 0.78% of covered payroll. Funded Ratio This year’s funded ratio is 88.0% compared to 85.4% last year. The ratio is equal to the actuarial value of assets divided by the actuarial accrued (past service) liability. Cost of Living Adjustment The cost of living adjustment is not payable to retirees and beneficiaries since there are cumulative net actuarial losses as of September 30, 2014 as shown on page 16. Analysis of Change in Employer Contribution The components of change in the required employer contribution are as follows:
Contribution rate last year Change in assumptions/methods Change in Normal Cost Rate Amortization Payment on UAL Experience gain/loss Change in administrative expense Change in State revenue
22.73 % 0.00 (0.49) 0.59 (0.78) 0.60 (0.35)

Variability of Future Contribution Rates The Actuarial Cost Method used to determine the contribution rate is intended to produce contribution rates which are generally level as a percent of payroll. Even so, when experience differs from the assumptions, as it often does, the employer’s contribution rate can vary significantly from yearto-year. Over time, if the year-to-year gains and losses offset each other, the contribution rate would be expected to return to the current level, but this does not always happen. The Market Value of Assets exceeds the Actuarial Value of Assets by $352,403 as of the valuation date (see Section C). This difference will be gradually recognized over the next several years. In turn, the computed employer contribution rate will decrease by approximately 2% of covered payroll over the same period in the absence of offsetting losses. Relationship to Market Value If Market Value had been the basis for the valuation, the Employer contribution rate would have been 20.22% and the funded ratio would have been 90.9%. In the absence of other gains and losses, the employer contribution rate should decrease to that level over the next several years. Conclusion The remainder of this Report includes detailed actuarial valuation results, pension fund information, miscellaneous information and statistics, and a summary of plan provisions.
4 STATE CONTRIBUTION RESERVE Increments in Chapter revenue over that received in 1998 must first be used to fund the cost of compliance with minimum benefits. As of the valuation date, a few of the minimum benefits have not been met. The definition of compensation should be changed to total cash remuneration.
Also, the minimum service-connected
disability benefit should be changed to the greater of the accrued benefit and 42% of average final compensation with eligibility from the date of hire. The non service-connected disability benefit should provide the accrued benefit as a minimum.

The Accumulated Excess shown in line 7 (if any) is being held in reserve and is subtracted from Plan assets (see Section C of this Report). The Base Amount in line 8 is the amount the employer may take as a credit against its required contribution; however, in no event may the employer take credit for more than the actual amount of Chapter revenue received. The Base Amount will continue to be updated each year based on actual Chapter revenue up to a maximum of $92,553.

10 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: Last Year's UAAL

ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS AND COST METHOD Valuation Methods Actuarial Cost Method - Normal cost and the allocation of benefit values between service rendered before and after the valuation date were determined using an Individual Entry-Age Actuarial Cost Method having the following characteristics: (i) the annual normal cost for each individual active member, payable from the date of employment to the date of retirement, is sufficient to accumulate the value of the member’s benefit at the time of retirement; (ii) each annual normal cost is a constant percentage of the member’s year by year projected covered pay. Actuarial gains/(losses), as they occur, reduce (increase) the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability. Financing of Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liabilities - Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liabilities (full funding credit if assets exceed liabilities) were amortized by level (principal & interest combined) dollar contributions over a reasonable period of future years. Actuarial Value of Assets - The Actuarial Value of Assets phase in the difference between the expected return on actuarial value and actual return on market value of assets at the rate of 20% 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 investment return rate assumed in the valuation is 7.50% per year, compounded annually (net after investment expenses). The Wage Inflation Rate assumed in this valuation was 4.00% 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 assumed real rate of return over wage inflation is defined to be the portion of total investment return that is more than the assumed wage inflation rate. Considering other economic assumptions, the 7.50% investment return rate translates to an assumed real rate of return over wage inflation of 3.50%.
22
The rates of salary increase used for individual members are in accordance with the following table. This assumption is used to project a member’s current salary to the salaries upon which benefits will be based. % Increase in Salary Years of Service All
Merit and Seniority 2.0%
Base (Economic) 4.0%
Total Increase 6.0%
Demographic Assumptions The mortality table was the RP-2000 Combined Healthy Participant Mortality Tables for males and females. Future mortality improvements are projected to all future years from the year 2000 using Scale AA (on a fully generational basis). Probability of Future Life Sample Attained Dying Next Year Expectancy (years) Ages (in 2014) Men Women Men Women 50 0.17 % 0.13 % 34.26 35.63 55 0.28 0.24 29.14 30.66 60 0.54 0.47 24.21 25.89 65 1.05 0.90 19.60 21.40 70 1.80 1.56 15.41 17.28 75 80

11.63 8.41
13.56 10.25
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. For disabled retirees, the regular mortality tables are set forward 5 years in ages to reflect impaired longevity. The rates of retirement used to measure the probability of eligible members retiring during the next year were as follows: Number of Years After First Eligibility for Normal Retirement 0 1 2 3 4 5
Probability of Normal Retirement 80 % 40 40 40 40 100
23 Rates of separation from active membership were as shown below (rates do not apply to members eligible to retire and do not include separation on account of death or disability). This assumption measures the probabilities of members remaining in employment.

Miscellaneous and Technical Assumptions
Administrative & Investment Expenses
The investment return assumption is intended to be the return net of investment expense. Annual administrative expenses are assumed to be equal to the average of the expenses over the previous two years. 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 operate during retirement eligibility.
Decrement Timing
Decrements of all types are assumed to occur at the beginning of the 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
For vested separations from service, it is assumed that 0% of members separating will withdraw their contributions and forfeit an employer financed benefit. It was further assumed that the liability at termination is the greater of the vested deferred benefit (if any) or the member’s accumulated contributions.
Incidence of Contributions
Employer contributions are assumed to be made at the end of each calendar quarter. 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
100% of males and 100% of females are assumed to be married for purposes of death-in-service benefits. Male spouses are assumed to be three years older than female spouses for active member valuation purposes.
Normal Form of Benefit
A life annuity with 10 years certain is the normal form of benefit.
Pay Increase Timing
Middle of fiscal year. This is equivalent to assuming that reported pays represent amounts paid to members during the year ended on the valuation date.
Service Credit Accruals
It is assumed that members accrue one year of service credit per year.
25 GLOSSARY OF TERMS

A procedure for allocating the Actuarial Present Value of Future Benefits between the Actuarial Present Value of Future Normal Costs and the Actuarial Accrued Liability.
Actuarial Equivalent
Of equal Actuarial Present Value, determined as of a given date and based on a given set of Actuarial Assumptions.
Actuarial Present Value (APV)
The amount of funds required to provide a payment or series of payments in the future. It is determined by discounting the future payments with an assumed interest rate and with the assumed probability each payment will be made.
Actuarial Present Value of Future Benefits (APVFB)
The Actuarial Present Value of amounts which are expected to be paid at various future times to active members, retired members, beneficiaries receiving benefits, and inactive, nonretired members entitled to either a refund or a future retirement benefit. Expressed another way, it is the value that would have to be invested on the valuation date so that the amount invested plus investment earnings would provide sufficient assets to pay all projected benefits and expenses when due.
Actuarial Valuation
The determination, as of a valuation date, of the Normal Cost, Actuarial Accrued Liability, Actuarial Value of Assets, and related Actuarial Present Values for a plan. An Actuarial Valuation for a governmental retirement system typically also includes calculations of items needed for compliance with GASB No. 67.
Actuarial Value of Assets
The value of the assets as of a given date, used by the actuary for valuation purposes. This may be the market or fair value of plan assets or a smoothed value in order to reduce the year-to-year volatility of calculated results, such as the funded ratio and the actuarially required contribution (ARC).
26 Amortization Method
A method for determining the Amortization Payment. The most common methods used are level dollar and level percentage of payroll. Under the Level Dollar method, the Amortization Payment is one of a stream of payments, all equal, whose Actuarial Present Value is equal to the UAAL. Under the Level Percentage of Pay method, the Amortization Payment is one of a stream of increasing payments, whose Actuarial Present Value is equal to the UAAL. Under the Level Percentage of Pay method, the stream of payments increases at the rate at which total covered payroll of all active members is assumed to increase.
Amortization Payment
That portion of the plan contribution or ARC which is designed to pay interest on and to amortize the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability.
Amortization Period
The period used in calculating the Amortization Payment.
Annual Required Contribution (ARC)
The employer’s periodic required contributions, expressed as a dollar amount or a percentage of covered plan compensation. The ARC consists of the Employer Normal Cost and Amortization Payment.
Closed Amortization Period
A specific number of years that is reduced by one each year, and declines to zero with the passage of time. For example if the amortization period is initially set at 30 years, it is 29 years at the end of one year, 28 years at the end of two years, etc.
Employer Normal Cost
The portion of the Normal Cost to be paid by the employer. This is equal to the Normal Cost less expected member contributions.
Equivalent Single Amortization Period
For plans that do not establish separate amortization bases (separate components of the UAAL), this is the same as the Amortization Period. For plans that do establish separate amortization bases, this is the period over which the UAAL would be amortized if all amortization bases were combined upon the current UAAL 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 valuations. To the extent that actual experience differs from that assumed, Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liabilities emerge which may be larger or smaller than projected. Gains are due to favorable experience, e.g., the assets earn more than projected, salaries do not increase as fast as assumed, members retire later than assumed, etc. Favorable experience means actual results produce actuarial liabilities not as large as projected by the actuarial assumptions. On the other hand, losses are the result of unfavorable experience, i.e., actual results that produce Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liabilities which are larger than projected.
27 Funded Ratio
The ratio of the Actuarial Value of Assets to the Actuarial Accrued Liability.
GASB
Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
GASB No. 27 and GASB No. 67
These are the governmental accounting standards that set the accounting rules for public retirement systems and the employers that sponsor or contribute to them. Statement No. 27 sets the accounting rules for the employers that sponsor or contribute to public retirement systems, while Statement No. 67 sets the rules for the systems themselves.
Normal Cost
The annual cost assigned, under the Actuarial Cost Method, to the current plan year.
Open Amortization Period
An open amortization period is one which is used to determine the Amortization Payment but which does not change over time. In other words, if the initial period is set as 30 years, the same 30-year period is used in determining the Amortization Period each year. In theory, if an Open Amortization Period is used to amortize the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability, the UAAL will never completely disappear, but will become smaller each year, either as a dollar amount or in relation to covered payroll.
Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability
The difference between the Actuarial Accrued Liability and Actuarial Value of Assets.
Valuation Date
The date as of which the Actuarial Present Value of Future Benefits are determined. The benefits expected to be paid in the future are discounted to this date.

SINGLE DISCOUNT RATE GASB Statement No. 67 A single discount rate of 7.50% was used to measure the total pension liability. This single discount rate was based on the expected rate of return on pension plan investments of 7.50%. The projection of cash flows used to determine this single discount rate assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that employer contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between the total actuarially determined contribution rates and the member rate. Based on these assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments (7.50%) was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
Regarding the sensitivity of the net pension liability to changes in the single discount rate, the following presents the plan’s net pension liability, calculated using a single discount rate of 7.50%, as well as what the plan’s net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a single discount rate that is 1-percentage-point lower or 1-percentage-point higher: Sensitivity of the Net Pension Liability to the Single Discount Rate Assumption*
