<br />Each year, CalPERS provides the City with an updated actuarial valuation report for its
<br />plans, including the updated calculation of the unfunded liability and the required
<br />contributions for the following year. The City typically receives the annual reports 12-15
<br />months after the fiscal year end. For example, the City received the report for the year
<br />ended June 30, 2019 in July 2020, which includes the required contributions for FY21-
<br />22. A snapshot of relevant data follows, and the total unfunded liability at June 30, 2019,
<br />for the Miscellaneous and Safety plans combined was $706,905,205.

<br />CalPERS announced its investment return for the year ended June 30, 2020 was 4.7%,
<br />which is less than the CalPERS 7% assumption. Therefore, we expect the unfunded
<br />liability to grow, and the required contribution to increase for FY22-23.
<br />The following chart summarizes CalPERS assumed rate of return, and actual investment
<br />returns over the last 20 years. The average investment return over 20 years has been
<br />5.8%, which is less than the current assumption of 7%. When actual CalPERS investment
<br />returns are less than assumed, the required contributions increase.
