CITY OF
(N a m e 0 f
Agency, all as
Enclosed is the Consulting Actuaries 1 abbreviated summary
in connection with the status under the Retirement System of
Pub 1 i c Age n c y)
required as of June 30, 1950, by the Retirement Law. As indicated in the upper
right area, page 1, of the form, separate s~~aries of valuation results, are
given according to whether the valuation is (I) under your contract as at June 30,
1950, ~dthout amendment, or (II) under the contract modified by the proposed
amendments described, if any. Comparison of the results in the summaries, will
show the cost of respective amendments or groups of amendments, where more than
one are valued together.
No valuation summary is included, however, for the military amendment de-
scribed in Item (10) of enclosed form 591. The irregular effects of the amendment
could not readily be shown on summary form 322c, but separate information about
it will be sent soon.
The following comments are submitted:
1. The State Employees' Retirement Law and the contract under which Agency
participates in the Retirement System, provide that contributions required
of Agency as stated in the contract, are subject to adjustment b,y the
Board of Administration on account of experience under the Retirement
System, as determined by the periodical investigation, valuation, and
determination provided for by t~e Retirement Law.
2. The investigation and valuation as of June 30, 1950, having been completed,
the Board of Administration hereb,y quotes the percentage and amount stated
in Items 33 and 34, respectively, of the summary under (I) the contract
as it was at June 30, 1950, without amendment, as the adjusted contribu-
tions to be made by Agency beginning ~11y 1, 1951. Adjustment will be
made automatically by the next investigation and valuation, for the fact
that 1950-51 contributions have been at the original percentage and amount.
F 326a-l 5-51 llOO
~
.....,
3. The summary no doubt will be largely self-explanatory. It might be stated,
however, that the percentage in Item 33, is to be applied to members'
earned salaries appearing on each payroll, to determine the contribution
required of Agency on account of current service liabilities. The amount
stated in Item 33, for example, results from such application to annual
salaries in Item 3. The amount given in Item 34, is the contribution
required annually for the period stated, on account of prior service liabil-
ities.
4. Assets derived from Agency's contributions and standing to Agency's credit,
together with accumulated interest at June 30, 1950, were credited on the
liabilities, as shown in Items 28, 29, and 30, before the determination of
the contributions.
5. Further explanation of the summary will be given only upon request.
Otherwise, Agency should substitute the current service percentage and
prior service installment in Items 33 and 34, respectively, of the
summary under (I) the contract without amendment, for the percentage and
amount now in use and contribute accordingly to the Retirement System,
beginning with your payroll covering service for the month of July, 1951,
without further communication from here.
6. The Board of Administration is authorized by the state Employees' Retirement
Law, to include each year in the contributions required of Agency, a
reasonable amount to cover the costs of administering the Retirement System,
as it affects persons who are members because of employment by Agency. This
amount will be $4.75 per member for 1951-52, in addition to the contribution
quoted in the Consulting Actuaries' report. An invoice for this will be
sent later.
If you decide to amend your contract to adopt any of the proposed amendments
valued, if indeed any were proposed by your Agency, you 'should send a letter to
the Retirement System to that effect including the contemplated effective date.
We then would furnish the required forms with instructions.
Enclosed is a bill for the compensation stated in the contract executed
between you and the consulting actuaries.
Yours truly,
