RFP No. 21-025 <br />EXHIBIT B <br />Consider Pension Debt Refinancing and Policy <br />February 2, 2021 <br />Page 3 <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 />Miscellaneous <br />Safety <br />June 30, 2019: <br />A: Market Value of <br />Assets <br />$645,902,345 <br />$787,086,636 <br />B: Accrued Liability <br />$948,084,339 <br />$1,191,809,847 <br />Unfunded Liability, A-B <br />$302,181,994 <br />$404,723,211 <br />Funded Ratio, A/B <br />68.1 % <br />66.0% <br />FY20-21 <br />Normal Cost paid by <br />City <br />12.072% of pensionable <br />wages <br />23.581 % of pensionable <br />wages <br />Normal Cost paid by <br />Employees <br />8.0% Classic <br />6.5% PEPRA <br />12.0% Classic <br />13.0% PEPRA <br />Unfunded Liability <br />Payment <br />$23,390,827 <br />$26,223,726 <br />Discount for <br />Prepayment <br />$778,061 <br />$872,293 <br />Unfunded Liability <br />Funding Source <br />72% General Fund <br />18% Restricted Funds <br />100% General Fund <br />FY21-22 <br />Normal Cost paid by <br />City <br />11.9% of pensionable wages <br />22.93% of pensionable <br />wages <br />Normal Cost paid by <br />Employees <br />8.0% Classic <br />7.0% PEPRA <br />12.0% Classic <br />13.0% PEPRA <br />Unfunded Liability <br />Payment <br />$26,113,041 <br />$30,102,971 <br />Discount for <br />Prepayment <br />$868,611 <br />$1,001,331 <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. <br />
