REGULAR AGENDA – PART II
502) Quarterly Investment Return Report from Mariner
Jack Evatt and David West of Mariner presented the quarterly investment report for the period ending
December 31, 2025. David West noted that he is in the process of transitioning out of the firm after 40
years, and that Jack Evatt would lead client services going forward.
Mr. Evatt reviewed the Q4 2025 economic environment and noted generally strong conditions
supported by Federal Reserve rate cuts and broader equity market performance, alongside emerging
inflationary pressures and uncertainty in future rate direction. He reported that the fund returned 2.34%
for the quarter, in line with its benchmark and outperforming most peer plans, with continued strong
long-term results. Mr. Evatt noted that investment performance across asset classes met expectations
overall, with strength in fixed income, while the Board continues to exit its private real estate holdings,
including one near full liquidation and another that experienced a modest loss due to a forced property
sale.
Discussion followed on concerns about the office sector, the timing of real estate redemptions, and the
6
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES BOARD OF TRUSTEES REGULAR MEETING – APRIL 9, 2026 PAGE 3 OF 2 historical role of real estate in the portfolio. The Board also recognized that its current real estate
allocation target is outdated and may warrant a broader asset allocation review given the plan’s
improved funded status and reduced need for risk.
MOTION TO DIRECT THE INVESTMENT CONSULTANTS TO CONDUCT AN ASSET ALLOCATION STUDY
AND PRESENT FINDINGS AT THE NEXT MEETING. MOTION BY BOARD MEMBER BLAKE. SECONDED BY
VICE CHAIR FAREED.
VOTE: BLAKE (AYE); FAIR (AYE); FURNO (AYE); FAREED (AYE); SANTORO (AYE)
MOTION CARRIED: 5-0
Discussion followed on the City’s contribution levels and City Manager Kevin Sweet confirmed planned
contributions above the actuarial minimum for FY 2026 and FY 2027 and noted broader fiscal pressures.
The Board emphasized the importance of planning for scenarios involving reduced contributions.
Mr. Evatt provided a brief update on the Crescent private debt funds and noted both were largely
wound down, have performed strongly since inception, and present no current concerns. The Board also
recognized David West on the occasion of his final meeting and thanked him for his longstanding service
and contributions to the fund’s success.
REPORTS
City Manager Kevin Sweet addressed the Board to provide an update on ongoing efforts to improve the
competitiveness of the defined benefit plan for sworn officers and other eligible employees. He outlined
a two-phase approach undertaken in response to recruitment and retention challenges in the police
department, the first phase having addressed compensation and the second focused on retirement
benefit provisions.
City Manager Sweet noted five proposed benefit scenarios were being studied, including: (1) increasing
the maximum benefit accrual cap; (2) increasing pensionable overtime hours from 150 to 300; (3)
establishing normal retirement eligibility upon 30 years of service regardless of age; (4) creating a
Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP); and (5) adding an automatic 2% annual cost-of-living
adjustment (COLA) commencing three years after retirement. City Manager Sweet noted that three
hybrid scenarios combining elements of the above had also been requested and further noted that the
actuarial consultant, GRS, was expected to deliver an updated 30-year projection — based on October 1,
2025 actual data — on May 8, 2026, in advance of the Board's next meeting on May 13, 2026.
Brief discussion followed on the role of the Board as an advisory body.

Asset Allocation Analysis

Overview of the Asset Allocation Process

12
Asset Allocations and Investment Policies
Developing an investment strategy is based on a number of different decisions:
What is the target return of the Plan?
What asset classes should be considered for potential investment?
What strategic (long-term) weights should be assigned to each asset class?
What are the appropriate allocation ranges (+/-)around the strategic weight of each asset class?
What are the most appropriate managers/vehicles to implement and retain for each asset class?
While manager and investment vehicle selection is an important part of implementing and maintaining an investment strategy, majority of a
portfolio’s variability over time is determined by the selection of asset classes and strategic (long-term) weights.

Limitation of Asset Allocation Models
Limitations of Asset Allocation Models:
The model output is based on the capital market assumptions; accurately predicting the expected return, standard deviation, and
correlation coefficients for each asset class is very difficult.
Many asset classes have historically exhibited non-normal return distributions (fat-tails and/or skewness); models generally assume
normal distributions.
Correlation coefficients change over time and may potentially overestimate the diversification benefits of combining asset classes
(particularly during periods of market stress).
Alternative asset classes introduce risk factors that are not captured in their standard deviation.
The return, risk, and correlation forecasts utilized in this report were developed by Mariner Capital Market Assumptions (CMA). These projections
are based on its expectations over the next 10 to 15 years.

Introduction to Asset Allocation Modeling
Mean/variance optimization using forecast capital market assumptions:
Asset Allocation model inputs include:
Expected Return:The arithmetic average expected return (mean) of each asset class
Expected Risk:The variability (standard deviation) of each asset class around its mean return
Correlation:The degree of co-movement (correlation coefficient) of each asset class relative to other asset classes
Understanding asset allocation model limitations:
Output is based on forecasts (guesses) of each capital market assumption. Accurately predicting the expected return, expected risk (standard deviation), and
correlation coefficients for each asset class is not a science, it’s an economic methodology that varies by organization and forecast timeframe.
Assumes asset class returns are normally distributed (bell-shape curve). However, many asset classes exhibit non-normal (kurtosis - fat-tails and/or
skewness) return distributions.
Assumes correlations between asset class pairs are static. However, since correlation coefficients can and do change over time, diversification and/or stability
benefits of combining different asset classes may be overstated. Even historically stable correlation relationships may break down during periods of market
stress.
Alternative asset classes introduce a variety of important risk factors that are not captured in their standard deviation measures.
Despite its shortcomings, asset allocation modeling provides a foundational framework for making sound portfolio decisions.

Arithmetic vs. Geometric Returns
Arithmetic vs. Geometric Returns
Arithmetic Returns:The simple average of annual returns
Geometric Returns: The average of annual returns compounded over multiple periods
The larger the volatility, the greater the dispersion is between an arithmetic and geometric return

Understanding How Correlation Fits into the Process
A statistical measure of co-movement withing a range between +1 and -1.
It is important to remember that correlations are not consistant through time.
+1 = Perfect positive correlation. Assets move in tandem in the same
direction.
0 = No correlation. Assets move independently of one another -
essentially no distinguishable pattern, more random.
-1 = Perfect negative correlation. Assets move in opposite directions -
one goes up, the other goes down and vice versa.
Where the magic happens: How asset class pairs move relative to one another

Other Investment Risks
Beyond Variability - Other Risks Are Always Present
Business:Underlying operational volatility/uncertainty
Call:Debt security called prior to maturity
Credit:Bond Issuer defaults on interest/principal payment
Currency/Exchange Rate:Change in price of one currency against another
Fiduciary:Potential non-arm's length transactions
Headline:Manager makes the headlines or negative press
Inflationary:Value of a security is eroded by inflation
Interest Rate:Bonds decline in value when rates rise
Investment Manager:Changes in investment style or management team
Leverage:Amplifies losses
Liquidity:Lock-up terms or gates during market stress
Social/Political/Legislative:Investment landscape changes
Systemic/Market:Correlations go to "1" (like 2008)
Valuation:Some assets are difficult to price

Glossary of Terms
Allocation Ranges:the range a specific asset class’ allocation must fall between.
Arithmetic Mean:the average of annual returns.
Asset Allocation:the process of determining how investment fund should be distributed
among asset classes to optimize the balance between risk and reward based on investment
needs.
Asset Classes:a grouping of investments that exhibit similar characteristics and behave
similarly in the marketplace. Examples include equities, fixed income, cash equivalent or money
market instruments, and alternatives.
Capital Market Assumptions:expected returns, standard deviations, and correlation
estimates that represent the long-term risk/return forecasts for various asset classes.
Correlation:statistical measurement of the relationship between two variables. Possible
correlations range from +1 to -1. A zero correlation indicates that there is no relationship
between the variables. A correlation of -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation and +1
indicates a perfect positive correlation.
Diversification:the process of owning different investments that tend to perform well at
different times in order to reduce the effects of volatility in a portfolio, and also increase the
potential for increasing returns.
Efficient Frontier:a representation of potential portfolios that offer the highest expected return
for a specific level of risk (standard deviation).
Expected Return:the arithmetic average (mean) of each asset class.
Geometric Mean:the average of annual returns compounded over multiple periods.
Kurtosis:indicates the peakedness of a distribution. For normal distribution, Kurtosis is 3.
Monte Carlo Simulation:a model used to predict the probability of different outcomes and
used to understand the impact of risk and uncertainty in prediction and forecasting models.
Optimized Portfolio:a portfolio that lies along the efficient frontier and is determined by target
risk/return objectives. The underlying exposures are dependent on forecasted asset class
expectations.
Risk Tolerance:the degree of uncertainty that an investor can handle in regard to a negative
change in the value of the portfolio.
Skewness:reflects the degree of asymmetry of a distribution. If the distribution has a longer
left tail, the function has negative skewness. Otherwise, it has positive skewness. A normal
distribution is symmetric with skewness 0.
Sharpe Ratio:In this report, a reward-to-variability ratio and a measure of the return per unit of
risk in an investment asset or a trading strategy. This is based on methodology used by
Morningstar, whose software was used to create these charts. This definition differs from the
ratio that Dr. William Sharpe created in that the risk-free rate has not been deducted in
Morningstar’s calculations.
Standard Deviation:A measure of the dispersion of a set of data from its mean. Calculated by
the square-root of the variance.
Target Return:the specific return the investor is modeling to reach, usually sent in place by
the actuary.
Time Horizon:the total length of time that an investor expects to hold a security or a portfolio
before it is liquidated.
Volatility:the amount and frequency an investment fluctates in value.

Any return data presented is provided solely for historical and informational purposes. The results shown represent past performance and do not represent expected future performance. Past
performance does not guarantee future results. We do not provide any representation or guarantee that your goals will be achieved. Unless otherwise indicated, returns stated are net of fees,
which may include: investment management fees, taxes and other expenses. There may be instances where certain returns are shown gross of fees (i.e., before the aforementioned fees are
deducted) and would be noted as such. It is important to note that any accounts being used as a “proxy” are strictly for illustrative purposes. An investor should not expect the same results from
the actual strategy or strategies under consideration. When client-specific performance is shown, Mariner uses time-weighted calculations, which are founded on standards recommended by the

CAPITAL MARKET ASSUMPTIONS, MODELING, AND FORECASTS
This study uses assumptions from proprietary, internally developed capital market assumptions created by Mariner (the “CMAs”). The CMAs represent forward-looking estimates of expected
asset class returns, volatility, correlations, inflation, and other economic variables over specified time horizons. These assumptions are based on quantitative models, historical data, and
professional judgment.
This analysis does not constitute a guarantee of investment performance or future outcomes. It is intended as a strategic planning tool to support decision-making and should be evaluated in
conjunction with other information and professional advice. Recipients are encouraged to review the assumptions and consider alternative scenarios as appropriate.
The CMAs are strictly hypothetical in nature. They do not reflect the performance of any actual client portfolios and do not guarantee or accurately predict future market behavior or asset class
returns. Actual investment results and economic conditions will differ, potentially materially, from those reflected in the assumptions. Results illustrated in this Study may differ materially from
actual outcomes.
Forecasts, projections, probability analyses, and scenario results presented herein are derived from the CMAs and other modeling inputs and are intended solely to illustrate potential long-term
investment outcomes, risk exposures, and other considerations under specified assumptions. Such outputs are inherently uncertain, are not forecasts of actual results, and are highly sensitive to
changes in assumptions, inputs, and economic conditions. Small variations in underlying parameters may produce materially different outcomes.
Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including market volatility, interest rate movements, inflation variability, policy changes, demographic experience,
and structural economic shifts. Model results may also be affected by data quality, simulation methodology, rebalancing assumptions, and programming limitations.

Dear Council Members:
We are pleased to present our October 1, 2025 Actuarial Valuation for the City of Winter Springs
Retirement Plan (Plan). The purpose of this report is to indicate appropriate contribution levels,
comment on the actuarial stability of the Plan and to satisfy State requirements. The City has retained
Gabriel, Roeder, Smith and Company (GRS) to prepare an annual actuarial valuation under Section
3.02 of the Plan.
This report consists of this cover letter, executive summary, risk assessment and Low-Default-Risk
Obligation Measure followed by detailed Tables I through XVI, the State Required Exhibit on Table XVII
and Glossary on Table XVIII. The Tables contain basic Plan cost figures plus significant details on the
benefits, liabilities and experience of the Plan. We suggest you thoroughly review the report at your
convenience and contact us with any questions that may arise.
The findings in this report are based on data or asset information through September 30, 2025. The
valuation was based upon information furnished by the City concerning Plan benefit, plan provision
and active members, terminated members, retirees and beneficiaries. We received financial
information concerning Plan assets as of September 30, 2025 from the City.
We do not audit the Member census data and asset information that is provided to us; however, we
perform certain reasonableness checks. The City is responsible for the accuracy of the data.
In our opinion the benefits provided for under the current Plan will be sufficiently funded through the
payment of the amount as indicated in this and future Actuarial Valuation reports. This valuation
assumed the continuing ability of the plan sponsor to make the contributions necessary to fund this
plan. A determination regarding whether or not the plan sponsor is actually able to do so is outside
our scope of expertise and was not performed. We will continue to update you on the future
payment requirements for the Plan through our actuarial reports. These reports will also continue to
monitor the future experience of the Plan.
We have assessed that the contribution rate calculated under the current funding policy is a
reasonable Actuarially Determined Employer Contribution (ADEC) and it is consistent with the plan
accumulating adequate assets to make benefit payments when due.

The actuarial assumptions used in this Actuarial Valuation are as adopted by the Plan. The economic
and demographic actuarial assumptions are based upon the results of an Experience Study for the
period October 1, 2016 – September 30, 2022. The mortality assumptions are as prescribed by
statute. Each assumption represents an estimate of future Plan experience. All actuarial assumptions
used in this report are reasonable for the purposes of this valuation. The combined effect of the
assumptions is expected to have no significant bias (i.e. not significantly optimistic or pessimistic). All
actuarial assumptions and methods used in the valuation follow the guidance in the applicable
Actuarial Standards of Practice.
If all actuarial assumptions are met and if all future minimum required contributions are paid, Plan
assets will be sufficient to pay all Plan benefits, future contributions are expected to remain relatively
stable or decrease as a percent of payroll and the funded status is expected to improve. Plan
minimum required contributions are determined in compliance with the requirements of the Florida
Protection of Public Employee Retirement Benefits Act with normal cost determined as a level percent
of covered payroll and a level dollar amortization payment using an initial closed amortization period
of 25 years for newly created bases effective October 1, 2023.
The Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) may not be appropriate for assessing the sufficiency
of Plan assets to meet the estimated cost of settling benefit obligations but may be appropriate for
assessing the need for or the amount of future contributions. The UAAL would be different if it
reflected the market value of assets rather than the smoothed value of assets.
The GASB Net Pension Liability and Plan Fiduciary Net Position as a Percentage of Total Pension
Liability may not be appropriate for assessing the sufficiency of Plan assets to meet the estimated cost
of settling benefit obligations but may be appropriate for assessing the need for or the amount of
future contributions.
The Funded Ratio shown in Table II and Table XVI is for informational purposes and may not be
appropriate for assessing the sufficiency of Plan assets to meet the estimated cost of settling benefit
obligations but may be appropriate for assessing the need for or the amount of future contributions.
This report should not be relied on for any purpose other than the purpose described in the primary
communication. Determinations of the financial results associated with the benefits described in this
report in a manner other than the intended purpose may produce significantly different results.
This report was prepared using ProVal’s valuation model, a software product of Winklevoss
Technologies. We are relying on the ProVal model. We performed tests of the ProVal model with this
assignment and made a reasonable attempt to understand the developer’s intended purpose of,
general operation of, major sensitivities and dependencies within, and key strengths and limitations of
the ProVal model. In our professional judgment, the ProVal valuation model has the capability to

provide results that are consistent with the purposes of the valuation and has no material limitations
or known weaknesses.
This report has been prepared by actuaries who have substantial experience valuing public employee
retirement plans. To the best of our knowledge the information contained in this report is accurate
and fairly presents the actuarial position of the 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.
This report was prepared at the request of the City and is intended for use by the City and those
designated or approved by the City. This report may be provided to parties other than the City only in
its entirety and only with the permission of the City. GRS is not responsible for unauthorized use of
this report.
The signing actuaries are independent of the Plan sponsor.
The undersigned are Members of the American Academy of Actuaries and meet the qualification
standards of the American Academy of Actuaries to render the actuarial opinions contained in this
report. We are available to respond to any questions with regards to matters covered in this report.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Retirement Plan Costs
Our Actuarial Valuation develops the required minimum Plan payment for the Plan Year October 1,
2026 – September 30, 2027 under the Florida Protection of Public Employee Retirement Benefits Act.
The minimum payment consists of payment of annual normal costs including amortization of the
components of the unfunded actuarial accrued liability over various periods as prescribed by law. The
minimum payment is $1,070,408 (24.7%). The figure in parentheses is the Plan cost expressed as a
percentage of projected covered annual payroll for fiscal year October 1, 2026 – September 30, 2027
($4,333,635).
This total cost is to be met by member and City contributions. We anticipate member contributions
will be $216,682 (5.0% of projected covered payroll for fiscal year ending September 30, 2027). The
resulting minimum required City contribution is $853,726 (19.7%).
We recommend the City continue to contribute not less than the dollar amount of minimum required
contribution due to the closing of the Plan to future general employees.
Changes in Actuarial Assumptions, Methods and Plan Provisions
The Plan provisions were updated to reflect the plan restatement to comply with the current
operation of the Plan. These changes did not affect the funding calculations. The remaining Plan
provisions are unchanged from our October 1, 2024 Actuarial Valuation. The Plan provisions are
outlined on Table IX.
The mortality assumption is updated to use the mortality assumption used by the Florida Retirement
System (FRS) as required under F.S., Chapter 2015-157 based upon the July 1, 2025 FRS Actuarial
Valuation. The disability rates are updated based upon the July 1, 2025 FRS Actuarial Valuation. The
remaining actuarial assumptions and methods are unchanged from our October 1, 2024 Actuarial
Valuation. The actuarial assumptions and methods are outlined on Table X.
Comparison of October 1, 2024 and October 1, 2025 Valuation Results
Table II of our report provides information of a comparative nature. The left columns of the Table
indicate the costs as calculated for October 1, 2024. The center columns indicate the costs as
calculated for October 1, 2025, prior to the update in actuarial assumptions. The right columns
indicate the costs as calculated for October 1, 2025, after the update in actuarial assumptions.
Comparing the left and center columns of Table II shows the effect of Plan experience during the year.
The number of active participants decreased by approximately 12% while covered payroll increased
by approximately 2%. Total Plan membership decreased by approximately 2%. Total normal cost,
unfunded actuarial accrued liability and net City minimum funding requirement all decreased both as
a dollar amount and as a percentage of covered payroll.
46
City of Winter Springs Retirement Plan 5
Comparing the center and right columns of Table II shows the effect of the update of the actuarial
assumptions. Total normal cost, unfunded actuarial accrued liability and net City minimum funding
requirement all increased both as a dollar amount and as a percentage of projected pensionable payroll.
The Plan assets exceed the value of vested accrued benefits this year, resulting in a Vested Benefit
Security Ratio (VBSR) of 108.0% (110.3% before the update in actuarial assumptions) which is an
increase from 104.6% as of the October 1, 2024 Actuarial Valuation. The VBSR is measured on a
market value of assets basis.
Plan Experience
The Plan experienced an actuarial gain in the amount of $2,276,390 this year. This indicates actual
overall Plan experience was more favorable than expected.
Table XV (salary, turnover and investment yield) provides figures on recent Plan experience. Salary
experience indicates actual salary increases averaged approximately 6.1% for General and Forensic
Employees and 17.6% for Police Officers for Plan Year ended September 30, 2025 when compared to
the assumed salary increase of 5.1% and 4.8%, respectively. Salary increases were generally an
offsetting source of actuarial loss for General and Forensic Employees and for Police Officers. The
three, five and ten-year average annual salary increases are 11.8%, 10.4% and 7.9% for General and
Forensic Employees, respectively – 12.8%, 11.1% and 7.9% for Police Officers, respectively.
Employee turnover this year was 310% of the assumed turnover for General and Forensic Employees
and 160% of the assumed turnover for Police Officers. Employee turnover was generally a source of
actuarial gain for General and Forensic Employees and for Police Officers. The three, five and ten-year
average annual turnover is 140%, 160% and 200%, respectively for General and Forensic Employees -
160%, 150% and 200%, respectively for Police Officers.
The smoothed value investment return of 11.11% was above the investment return assumption of
6.75%. Smoothed value investment return was an additional source of actuarial gain during the year.
The three, five and ten-year average annual smoothed value investment returns are 8.53%, 8.75% and
9.0%, respectively. The one, three, five and ten-year average annual market value returns are 11.44%,
15.23%, 10.89% and 10.0%, respectively.
Funded Ratio
The smoothed value funded ratio is 92.8% as of October 1, 2025 (94.8% before the update in actuarial
assumptions) compared to 90.8% as of October 1, 2024. The smoothed value funded ratio is equal to
the actuarial value of assets divided by the actuarial accrued liability.
If the market value of assets had been used instead, the funded ratio would have been 102.0% as of
October 1, 2025 (104.2% before the update in actuarial assumptions) and 99.1% as of October 1,
2024.

City of Winter Springs Retirement Plan 6
Conclusion and Recommendations
The Market Value of Assets is more than the Actuarial Value of Assets by $7,596,985 as of the
valuation date. This difference will be gradually recognized in the absence of future gains/losses. In
turn, the actuarially determined contribution rate will decrease.
The remainder of this report includes detailed actuarial valuation results, information relating to the
pension fund, financial accounting information, miscellaneous employee data and a summary of plan
provisions and actuarial assumptions and methods.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH MEASURING THE ACCRUED LIABILITY
AND ACTUARIALLY DETERMINED CONTRIBUTION
The determination of the accrued liability and the actuarially determined contribution requires the
use of assumptions regarding future economic and demographic experience. Risk measures, as
illustrated in this report, are intended to aid in the understanding of the effects of future experience
differing from the assumptions used in the course of the actuarial valuation. Risk measures may also
help with illustrating the potential volatility in the accrued liability and the actuarially determined
contribution that result from the differences between actual experience and the actuarial
assumptions.
Future actuarial measurements may differ significantly from the current measurements presented in
this report due to such factors as the following: Plan experience differing from that anticipated by the
economic or demographic assumptions; changes in economic or demographic assumptions due to
changing conditions; increases or decreases expected as part of the natural operation of the
methodology used for these measurements (such as the end of an amortization period, or additional
cost or contribution requirements based on the Plan’s funded status); and changes in Plan provisions
or applicable law. The scope of an actuarial valuation does not include an analysis of the potential
range of such future measurements.
Examples of risk that may reasonably be anticipated to significantly affect the Plan’s future financial
condition include:
1. Investment risk – actual investment returns may differ from expected returns;
2. Asset / Liability mismatch – changes in asset values may not match changes in liabilities,
thereby altering the gap between the accrued liability and assets and consequently altering
the funded status and the actuarially determined contribution requirements;
3. Contribution risk – actual contributions may differ from expected future contributions. For
example, actual contributions may not be made in accordance with the Plan’s funding policy
or material changes may occur in the anticipated number of covered employees, covered
payroll or other relevant contribution base;
4. Salary and Payroll risk – actual salaries and total payroll may differ from expected, resulting in
actual future accrued liability and the actuarially determined contributions differing from
expected;
5. Longevity risk – members may live longer or shorter than expected and receive pensions for a
period of time other than assumed;
6. Other demographic risks – members may terminate, retire or become disabled at times or
with benefits other than assumed resulting in actual future accrued liability and the actuarially
determined contributions differing from expected.
The effects of certain trends in experience can generally be anticipated. For example if the
investment return since the most recent actuarial valuation is less (or more) than the assumed rate,
the actuarially determined contribution can be expected to increase (or decrease). Likewise if
49
City of Winter Springs Retirement Plan 8
longevity is improving (or worsening), increases (or decreases) in the actuarially determined
contribution can be anticipated.
The actuarially determined contribution rate shown on page four of the report may be considered as a
minimum contribution rate that complies with the Plan’s funding policy. The timely receipt of the
actuarially determined contributions is critical to support the financial health of the Plan. Users of this
report should be aware that contributions made at the actuarially determined rate do not necessarily
guarantee benefit security.
Plan Maturity Measures
Risks facing a pension plan evolve over time. A young plan with virtually no investments and paying
few benefits may experience little investment risk. An older plan with a large number of members in
pay status and a significant trust fund may be much more exposed to investment risk. Generally
accepted plan maturity measures include the following:
2024 2025
Ratio of market value of assets to payroll 19.15 19.96
Ratio of actuarial accrued liability to payroll 19.33 19.57
Ratio of actives to retirees and beneficiaries 0.34 0.29
Ratio of net cash flow to market value of assets -4.2% -4.5%
Duration of the actuarial accrued liability 11.36 11.41
Ratio of Market Value of Assets to Payroll
The relationship between assets and payroll is a useful indicator of the potential volatility of the
actuarially determined contribution. For example, if the market value of assets is 2.0 times the
payroll, a return on assets 5% different than assumed would equal 10% of payroll. A higher (lower) or
increasing (decreasing) level of this maturity measure generally indicates higher (lower) or increasing
(decreasing) volatility in the actuarially determined contribution as a percentage of payroll.
Ratio of Actuarial Accrued Liability to Payroll
The relationship between actuarial accrued liability and payroll is a useful indicator of the potential
volatility of the actuarially determined contributions for a fully funded plan. A funding policy targeting
a funded ratio of 100% is expected to result in the ratio of assets to payroll and the ratio of liability to
payroll converging over time.
The ratio of actuarial accrued liability to payroll may also be used as a measure of sensitivity of the
liability itself. For example, if the actuarial accrued liability is 2.5 times payroll, a change in actuarial
accrued liability 2% other than assumed would equal 5% of payroll. A higher (lower) or increasing
(decreasing) level of this maturity measure generally indicates a higher (lower) or increasing
(decreasing) volatility in actuarial accrued liability (and also the actuarially determined contribution)
as a percentage of payroll.
50
City of Winter Springs Retirement Plan 9
Ratio of Actives to Retirees and Beneficiaries
A young plan with many active members and few retirees will have a high ratio of active to retirees. A
mature open plan may have close to the same number of actives to retirees resulting in a ratio near
1.0. A super-mature or closed plan may have significantly more retirees than actives resulting in a
ratio below 1.0.
Ratio of Net Cash Flow to Market Value of Assets
A positive net cash flow means contributions exceed benefits and expenses. A negative cash flow
means existing funds are being used to make payments. A certain amount of negative net cash flow is
generally expected to occur when benefits are prefunded through a qualified trust. Large negative
net cash flows as a percent of assets may indicate a super-mature plan or a need for additional
contributions.
Duration of Actuarial Accrued Liability
The duration of the actuarial accrued liability may be used to approximate the sensitivity to a 1%
change in the assumed rate of return. For example, a duration of 10 indicates the actuarial accrued
liability would increase approximately 10% if the assumed rate of return were lowered 1%.
Additional Risk Assessment
Additional risk assessment is outside the scope of the annual actuarial valuation. Additional
assessment may include scenario tests, sensitivity tests, stochastic modeling, stress tests and a
comparison of the present value of accrued benefits at low-risk discount rates with the actuarial
accrued liability.

LOW-DEFAULT-RISK OBLIGATION MEASURE
Actuarial Standards of Practice No. 4 (ASOP No. 4) was revised and reissued in December 2021 by the
Actuarial Standards Board (ASB). It includes a new calculation called a low-default-risk obligation
measure (LDROM) to be prepared and issued annually for defined benefit pension plans. The
transmittal memorandum for ASOP No. 4 includes the following explanation:
“The ASB believes that the calculation and disclosure of this measure provides appropriate, useful
information for the intended user regarding the funded status of a pension plan. The calculation and
disclosure of this additional measure is not intended to suggest that this is the “right” liability measure
for a pension plan. However, the ASB does believe that this additional disclosure provides a more
complete assessment of a plan’s funded status and provides additional information regarding the
security of benefits that members have earned as of the measurement date.”
The following information has been prepared in compliance with this new requirement. Unless
otherwise noted, the measurement date, actuarial cost methods, and assumptions used are the same
as for the funding valuation covered in this actuarial valuation report.
A. Low-default-risk Obligation Measure of benefits earned as of the measurement date:
$101,593,500
B. Discount rate used to calculate the LDROM: 4.90% based on Bond Buyer “20-Bond GO Index” as
of September 25, 2025 *
C. Other significant assumptions that differ from those used for the funding valuation: None
D. Actuarial cost method used to calculate the LDROM: Entry Age Normal
E. Valuation procedures to value any significant plan provisions that are difficult to measure using
traditional valuation procedures, and that differ from the procedures used in the funding
valuation: None
F. Commentary to help the intended user understand the significance of the LDROM with respect to
the funded status of the plan, plan contributions, and the security of participant benefits: The
LDROM is a market-based measurement of the pension obligation. It estimates the amount the
plan would need to invest in low default risk securities. This measure may not be appropriate
for assessing the need for or amount of future contributions. This measure may not be
appropriate for assessing the sufficiency of plan assets to cover the estimated cost of settling
the plan’s benefit obligation.
The difference between the two measures (Valuation and LDROM) is one illustration of the savings
the sponsor anticipates by taking on the risk in a diversified portfolio.
* The “20-Bond GO Index” is based on 20 general obligation municipal bonds maturing in 20 years
with mixed quality. In describing this index, the Bond Buyer website notes that the bonds’ average
credit quality is roughly equivalent to Moody’s Investors Service’s Aa2 rating and Standard &Poor’s
Corp.’s AA.

Accounting Disclosure Exhibit
A discount rate of 6.75% was used to measure the TPL effective with measurement date September 30, 2024.
This discount rate was based on the expected rate of return on Plan investments of 6.75%. The projection of
cash flows used to determine this discount rate assumed member contributions will be made at the current
member contribution rate and City contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between
actuarially determined contribution rates and the member contribution rate. Based upon these assumptions,
the Plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future expected benefit
payments of current Plan members. Therefore, the long‐term expected rate of return on Plan investments was
applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the TPL.

Under this method, the actuarial present value of vested accrued benefits is an amount calculated to be the
sum of the present values of each individual's vested accrued or earned benefit under the Plan as of the
valuation date. Each individual's calculation is based on pay and service as of the valuation date.
The investment return, salary increases, withdrawal and retirement rates were updated based on the most
recent experience study performed for the six years ending September 30, 2022. The mortality rates are based
upon the July 1, 2025 FRS Actuarial Valuation, as required under F.S., Chapter 2015‐157.
Actuarial Assumptions and Actuarial Cost Methods
Used in the Valuation
Normal Retirement, Termination, Disability, and Death Benefits: Entry Age Normal Cost
Vested Normal Retirement, Termination, Disability, and Death Benefits: Unit Credit Cost
Under this method the normal cost for each active employee is the amount which is calculated to be a level
percentage of pay that would be required annually from his entry age to his assumed retirement age to fund his
estimated benefits, assuming the Plan had always been in effect. The normal cost for the Plan is the sum of
such amounts for all employees. The actuarial accrued liability as of any valuation date for each active
employee or inactive employee who is eligible to receive benefits under the Plan is the excess of the actuarial
present value of estimated future benefits over the actuarial present value of current and future normal costs.
The unfunded actuarial accrued liability as of any valuation date is the excess of the actuarial accrued liability
over the assets of the Plan.

Projected Retirement Benefits
The above projected payout of Plan benefits during the next ten years is based on assumptions involving all
decrements. Actual payouts may differ from the above estimates depending upon the death, salary and
retirement experience of the Plan. However, since the projected payment is recomputed each valuation date,
there is an automatic correction to the extent that actual experience varies from expected experience.

This Actuarial Valuation and/or cost determination was prepared and completed by us or under our direct supervision, and we
acknowledge responsibility for the results. To the best of our knowledge, the results are complete and accurate, and in our
opinion, the techniques and assumptions used are reasonable and meet the requirements and intent of Part VII, Chapter 112,
Florida Statutes. 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 other wise provided for in the valuation. All known events or trends which may
require material increase in Plan costs or required contribution rates have been taken into account in the valuation.
Amortization balances are written down in proportion to amortization payments.
City of Winter Springs Retirement Plan 5496
Table XVIII
Glossary
Actuarial Accrued Liability. 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 of Future Benefits. 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, non‐retired 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.
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.

Glossary
Amortization Payment. That portion of the plan contribution 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 . The employer’s periodic required contributions, expressed as a dollar
amount or a percentage of covered plan compensation. The annual required contribution consists of
the Employer Normal Cost and Amortization Payment plus interest adjustment.
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 25
years, it is 24 years at the end of one year, 23 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. Losses are the result of unfavorable experience, i.e., actual
results that produce Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liabilities which are larger than projected.
Funded Ratio. The ratio of the Actuarial Value of Assets to the Actuarial Accrued Liability.
GASB. Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
City of Winter Springs Retirement Plan 5698

(Cont'd)
Glossary
GASB No. 67 and GASB No. 68. These are the governmental accounting standards that set the
accounting rules for public retirement plans and the employers that sponsor or contribute to them.
Statement No. 67 sets the accounting rules for the plans themselves, while Statement No. 68 sets the
accounting rules for the employers that sponsor or contribute to public retirement plans.
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 25 years, the same 25‐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.
Vested Benefit Security Ratio.The ratio of the Market Value of Assets to the Actuarial Present Value
of Vested Accrued Benefits.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As requested, we have completed updated thirty (30) year projections illustrating the financial impact of
proposed changes to the benefit provisions of the City of Winter Springs Retirement Plan (Plan). This reflects
an updated valuation date from October 1, 2024 to October 1, 2025.
Background – Currently the Plan provides:
a maximum of 30 years of Accrual Service
compensation includes up to one hundred fifty (150) hours of overtime pay in a plan year for hourly
employees
normal retirement eligibility upon attainment of age sixty-five (65)
no Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP)
no automatic cost of living adjustments (COLA)
Proposed Changes – We understand the City wishes to determine the effect on future City contributions of
the following proposed changes:
Scenario 1 – Increase the maximum accrued benefit from 30 years of Accrual Service to 99% of
Average Final Compensation
Scenario 2 – Increase maximum hours of pensionable overtime from 150 to 300 hours per plan year
for hourly employees
Scenario 3 – Add a normal retirement eligibility provision of completion of thirty (30) years of service,
regardless of age, without benefit reduction
Scenario 4 – Create a DROP with a maximum participation period of three (3) years, a fixed annual
interest credit of 4% and participation upon eligibility for normal retirement or unreduced early
retirement (attainment of age 55 and completion of 15 years of service)
Scenario 5 – Add an automatic annual COLA of 2.0% commencing three (3) years after benefit
commencement for future retirees who retire under early or normal retirement eligibility
Scenario 6 – Combine Scenario 1, 2 and 3
Scenario 7 – Combine Scenario 1, 2, 3 and 4
Scenario 8 – Combine Scenario 1, 2, 3 and 5
Results – The following table shows the projected cumulative and average annual minimum required net City
cost over the next one (1), five (5), ten (10) and thirty (30) years for the baseline (current Plan) and for the
proposed benefit changes described above. We have also shown the present value of the thirty (30) year net
City cost for the current Plan and proposed Plan as of October 1, 2025 based on the current assumed
investment return of 6.75%.

In addition, the following projection assumptions have been included:
•The administrative expenses are assumed to be 1.19% of expected payroll for each future year (the
same level as of October 1, 2025)
•Future Forensic Professionals and Police Officers are assumed to be hired each year at a rate sufficient
to maintain a constant active Forensic Professional / Police Officer headcount – stationary
population. New Forensic Professionals / Police Officers are assumed to have the same average
demographic characteristics (age, gender, salary – adjusted each year for inflation) as those Forensic
Professionals / Police Officers hired over the past five (5) years.
Projections are deterministic - throughout the projection period Plan experience is expected to match the
assumptions (asset value reported as of October 1, 2025).
Other Considerations – Under Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement Number 68, we
understand the full cost of benefit changes must be recognized immediately in the Pension Expense (for
accounting, not funding).
107
City of Winter Springs Retirement Plan 4
Risk Assessment – Risk assessment may include scenario tests, sensitivity, or stress tests, stochastic modeling
and a comparison of the present value of benefits at low-risk discount rates. We are prepared to perform
such assessment to aid in the decision making process. Please refer to the October 1, 2025 Actuarial
Valuation Report dated May 4, 2026 for additional discussion regarding the risks associated with measuring
the accrued liability and the minimum funding payment.
This Actuarial Projection Study is intended to describe the financial effect of the proposed provision changes
on the Plan from a neutral perspective and is not intended as a recommendation in favor of the changes nor
in opposition to the changes.
If all actuarial assumptions are met and if all future minimum required contributions are paid, Plan assets will
be sufficient to pay all Plan benefits, future contributions are expected to remain relatively stable as a percent
of payroll and the funded status is expected to improve. Plan minimum required contributions are
determined in compliance with the requirements of the Florida Protection of Public Employee Retirement
Benefits Act with normal cost determined as a level percent of covered payroll and with a level dollar
amortization payment using a closed amortization period of 25 years.
We have assessed that the contribution rate calculated under the current funding policy is a reasonable
Actuarially Determined Employer Contribution (ADEC) and it is consistent with the plan accumulating
adequate assets to make benefit payments when due.
All actuarial assumptions used in this Actuarial Study are reasonable for the purposes of this study. The
combined effect of the assumptions is expected to have no significant bias (i.e. not significantly optimistic or
pessimistic). All actuarial assumptions and methods used in the study follow the guidance in the applicable
Actuarial Standards of Practice.
The Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) may not be appropriate for assessing the sufficiency of Plan
assets to meet the estimated cost of settling benefit obligations but may be appropriate for assessing the
need for or the amount of future contributions. The UAAL would be different if it reflected the market value
of assets rather than the smoothed actuarial value of assets.
These calculations are based upon assumptions regarding future events. However, the Plan’s long term costs
will be determined by actual future events, which may differ materially from the assumptions made. These
calculations are also based upon present and proposed Plan provisions that are outlined or referenced in this
Actuarial Study.
If you have reason to believe the assumptions used are unreasonable, the Plan provisions are incorrectly
described or referenced, important Plan provisions relevant to this Actuarial Projection Study are not
described or that conditions have changed since the calculations were made, you should contact the
undersigned prior to relying on information in this Actuarial Projection Study.
If you have reason to believe that the information provided in this Actuarial Projection Study is inaccurate,
or is in any way incomplete, or if you need further information in order to make an informed decision on the
subject matter of this report, please contact the undersigned prior to making such decision.
Future actuarial measurements may differ significantly from the current measurements presented in this
report due to such factors as the following: Plan experience differing from that anticipated by the economic
108
City of Winter Springs Retirement Plan 5
or demographic assumptions; changes in economic or demographic assumptions; increases or decreases
expected as part of the natural operation of the methodology used for these measurements (such as the end
of an amortization period or additional cost or contribution requirements based on the Plan’s funded status);
and changes in Plan provisions or applicable law. Due to the limited scope of the actuary’s assignment, the
actuary did not perform an analysis of the potential range of such future measurements.
This report should not be relied on for any purpose other than the purpose described in the primary
communication. Determinations of the financial results associated with the benefits described in this report
in a manner other than the intended purpose may produce significantly different results.
This Actuarial Study was prepared using ProVal’s valuation model, a software product of Winklevoss
Technologies. We are relying on the ProVal model. We performed tests of the ProVal model with this
assignment and made a reasonable attempt to understand the developer’s intended purpose of, general
operation of, major sensitivities and dependencies within, and key strengths and limitations of the ProVal
model. In our professional judgment, the ProVal valuation model has the capability to provide results that
are consistent with the purposes of the valuation and has no material limitations or known weaknesses.
This Actuarial Study 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 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.
This Actuarial Study was prepared at the request of the City and is intended for use by the City and those
designated or approved by the City. This Actuarial Study may be provided to parties other than the City only

1. Mortality assumption was:
Firefighter, Police Officer and Forensic Professional participants:
Under this method the normal costfor each active employee is the amount whichis calculated to be a
level percentage of pay that would be requiredannually fromhis entry age to his assumedretirement
age to fund his estimated benefits, assuming the Plan had always been in effect. The normal cost for
the Plan is the sum of such amounts for all employees. The actuarial accrued liability as of any
valuationdate foreachactive employee orinactive employee who iseligible to receive benefits under
the Plan is the excess of the actuarial present value of estimated future benefits over the actuarial
present value of current and future normal costs. The unfunded actuarial accrued liability as of any
valuation date is the excess of the actuarial accrued liability over the assets of the Plan.
Vested Normal Retirement, Termination, Disability, and Death Benefits: Unit Credit
Under this method, the actuarial present value of vested accrued benefits is an amount calculated to
be the sum of the present valuesof each individual's vestedaccrued orearned benefitunder the Plan
as of the valuation date. Each individual's calculation is based on pay and service as of the valuation
date.
The investment return, salary increases, withdrawal and retirement rates were updated based on the
most recent experience study performed for the six years ending September 30, 2022. The mortality
rates are based upon the July 1, 2025 FRS Actuarial Valuation, as required under F.S., Chapter 2015-157.

GLOSSARY
Actuarial Accrued Liability 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 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
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, non-retired 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.
135
City of Winter Springs Retirement Plan 32
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 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
The employer’s periodic required contributions, expressed as a dollar
amount or a percentage of covered plan compensation. The annual
required contribution consists of the Employer Normal Cost and
Amortization Payment plus interest adjustment.
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 25 years, it is 24 years at the end of one year, 23 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. Losses are the result of unfavorable experience, i.e., actual
results that produce Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liabilities which are
larger than projected.
136
City of Winter Springs Retirement Plan 33
Funded Ratio The ratio of the Actuarial Value of Assets to the Actuarial Accrued
Liability.
GASB Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
GASB No. 67 and
GASB No. 68
These are the governmental accounting standards that set the
accounting rules for public retirement plans and the employers that
sponsor or contribute to them. Statement No. 67 sets the accounting
rules for the plans themselves, while Statement No. 68 sets the
accounting rules for the employers that sponsor or contribute to public
retirement plans.
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 25 years, the same 25-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.
Vested Benefit Security
Ratio
The ratio of the Market Value of Assets to the Actuarial Present Value of
Vested Accrued Benefits.
