Memo
To: Members of the Tequesta General Employees Pension Trust Fund
From: Meriene Reid, H.R. Manager
Dane: April 21, 2008
Re: Request for Feedback on Raising the Pension Multiplier
At the meeting of the Pension Board on August 6, 2007, a motion was passed to
recommend an increase of the pension multiplier from 2% to 2.2%. It was further requested
that this decision be shared with the employees in the General pension fund, to get their
feedback for presentation to the Council. A copy of the section of the Minutes is attached for
your information.
What is a multiplier?
A multiplier is a percentage of wages. It is a key number in determining what the annual
• pension will be. The current multiplier of 2% means that the formula for calculating an
employee's retirement amount is 2% x years of service x the employee's 5-year average. A
change to 2.2% will result in an increase of each person's pension by 10%.
Please note that the change would affect the employee contribution if it is not funded by the
Village. It is estimated that each employee's contribution rate would have to increase by
about 1.5% of compensation.
Please respond by Thursday, Apri124„ 2008, indicating whether or not you are interested in
having the multiplier raised by completing the sections below and returning to the Human
resources department. NOTE: This is not a mandate to the Board to raise the
multiplier, but simply to indicatie your inben~t in the various options provided below.
NAME DEPARTMENT
I wish to have the multiplier remain at 2%
I wish to have the multiplier moved to 2.2% regardless of who funds the increase.
wish to have the multiplier moved to 2.2%, only if there is no additional cost to me.

Your memo looks good to me. If the employees have to pay for the increased multiplier, their contribution rate would have
to increase by about 1.5% of compensation. The exact amount would have to be determined.

that the motion be restated so it was clear what the board was asking. The
maker of the motion, Secretary Mangum, stated he was asking Human
Resource Director Reid to go to the union and tell them the Board wanted an
answer yes or no to the question will they waive that right and do so with all
expediency. The Board's request was that the union waive that right. Board
Member Hansen seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous 3-0 vote.
Human Resource Director Reid commented there had also been a question
regarding raising the multiplier, and she was going to send that out to the union as
well, requesting their feedback on this matter, moving from 2% to 2.2%, which this
board had previously discussed and asked that she discuss this with the members;
however, she had held off discussing it with the members to see if they wanted to
raise it until the union considered it. Perhaps at this time she could send both items
to the union, telling them they had two matters-waiving their right, and requesting
feedback on raising the pension multiplier. Board Member Hansen expressed his
opinion this would be a negotiation matter. Chair Harding agreed, stating the issues
• should not be mixed; the one issue should be totally clear and when it was resolved
the other could be raised. Chair Harding asked if the multiplier issue could be
discussed with staff to get their feedback and then take it to the union; she did not
want to go to the union with a second subject right now, because she thought the
matter of paying interest on contributions should be kept very clear. Ms. Reid
stated she would only take that item to the union at this time; because the union
represented some of the staff she did not recommend going to staff with the second
issue at this time.
VIII. CONSENT AGENDA
Board Member Hansen made a motion to approve the consent agenda with
Item 10 pulled for discussion. Secretary Mangum seconded the motion,
which carried by unanimous 3-0 vote.
Therefore, the following items were approved on the consent agenda:

Mr. Palmquist commented The multiplier was now 2%, and to figure the retirement benefit
for an employee the formula was 2% x years of service x the employee's 5-year average pay
= retirement amount; fora 20-year employee it would be 2% x 20 years = 40%, so their
pension would be 40% of pay for the rest of their life. The task assigned to him was raising
the 2% in increments of,1, up to 2.5%. The figures used were from the last actuarial report,
as of 10-1-2005, since the board only had an actuarial report done every other year. The
present value of future benefits for those in the plan October 1, 2006; for each .1 % increase
the present value rose approximately $83,000-$84,000. The difference in each .1 % increment
was approximately $9,000 annually. If the multiplier were raised to 2.5%, that would mean
a 25% increase in everyone's pension. The increases would be the same whether the Village
or the employees paid for the increase. Mr. Palmquist confirmed the pensions would be
higher, the present value of future benefits would be higher, and annual cost would be higher,
and when people retired more would come out of the pension. The extra money coming in
would be enough to pay for the extra benefits.
Board Member Hansen questioned what would happen if ten people retired at the same time,
if money was taken out at a greater rate. Mr. Palmquist explained that would not be an issue
because all pension plans in Florida were funded on the basis of pre-funding, building
enough money during an employee's career so that by retirement no more money would have
to be put into the fund. Also, the different multipliers would all beretroactive-if someone
had six yeazs of service, that extra percentage would count all the way back to the date of
hire. Boazd member Reid asked what the multiplier for Public Safety was; the response was
3%. Mr. Palmquist advised looking at the Village's competitors for employees, one ofwhich
would be all governmental entities covered by the Florida Retirement System--county and
school board-their multiplier was 1.6% but they also had other very valuable features the
Village did not have, employees under FRS did not have to contribute out of their pay and
retirees received a 3% COLA every yeaz. Boazd Member Reid commented she could send an
email to other towns to ask the amount of their multiplier.
Chair Harding asked if additional funding would be needed to pay catch-up to make this
retroactive. Mr. Palmquist explained that would be up to the Village Council with the
board's recommendation, and explained any time there was a change to the plan with
employees paying the whole thing there was a fairness issue: younger employees would not
like the plan amended and then a long term employee retiring the very next day and having a
windfall included in their benefits, so they might want people with significant amounts of
service to put in a little extra because they wouldn't have had to pay for that extra benefit
over past years. Board Member Hansen asked if pension plans were becoming more scarce
• in the business world, which Mr. Palmquist confirmed, except for mega-companies. Mr.
Palmquist advised if the board increased the multiplier they would be going against the trend
in the private sector, but in the public sector it was just the opposite. Mr. Palmquist

confirmed the plan would increase $9,000 for each . l %, which would come from payroll.
Attorney Jensen asked about unfunded liability, to which Mr. Palmquist responded even
raising the multiplier to 2.5%, the funded ratio accrued liability would still be over 100%.
Boazd Member Reid asked why an actuarial report was only done every other year and the
upside of having an annual evaluation. Mr. Palmquist advised keeping in mind he had a
vested interest in that annual reports meant more revenue to his company, but that aside,
approximately 90% of governmental plans had annual evaluations-it was just a more up to
date tracking method, a better handle on funding progress in the plan, and the board by going
over the actuarial report every yeaz became more familiaz with the terminology. Attorney
Jensen stated she did not have a vested interest in whether an annual actuarial evaluation was
done, but expressed her opinion that it was really important to have one annually because in
the bad years it kept from having really bad surprises. `The downside was there was a cost.
Mr. Palmquist was requested to provide the cost of doing the evaluation annually, which he
stated he would provide in writing.
• Boazd member Hansen asked what precipitated raising the multiplier. Attorney Jensen
reminded the boazd they had made a motion requesting Mr. Palmquist to figure the cost of
raising the multiplier. Pension Coordinator McWilliams advised it was requested at a staff
meeting by the Village Manager, who requested it be looked into. Chair Harding asked if
this could be an option or if every employee would have to do it. Mr. Palmquist advised it
could be anoption byoffering aone-time opportunity to pay more to get a higher multiplier.
Anyone electing not to do it would stay where they were, with all new hires paying the higher
amount so there would be a dwindling number of people at the lower benefit. It would be
hard for a young family to pay more, but a few years down the road they would wish they had
gone to the higher amount. The next step would be to fmd out which employees were
interested and re-doing the figures. In comparing pension benefits with other towns, the
Village was low in benefits, especially compared to those with FRS because although their
multiplier was low, the employees not having to pay and the annual COLA increase for
retirees were very valuable. Mr. Palmquist described the fairness concept again. Board
member Hansen commented in the example given by Mr. Palmquist of a 20-yeaz employee
only getting 40% of salary was not much. Mr. Palmquist agreed, but noted they would also
get Social Security, which typically provided 30%-40%. The number of long-term
employees in this plan was discussed: there might be one in the 10-year category. How to
proceed with this matter was discussed. Mr. Palmquist advised this was the time to make a
change when most employees in the plan were not long term, so that it was a less expensive
proposition. Secretary Mangum asked for more clarification on the amount of Social
• Security; Mr. Palmquist advised the government changed the rules in 1983--it was a lower
percentage for higher paid people and a higher percentage for lower paid people.

Board Member Hansen suggested passing on to the Village Council a recommendation to
increase the multiplier to 2.2%. Chair Harding commented she saw no reason the Village
Council would object since this would be paid entirely by the employees. Mr. Palmquist
advised he had seen cases where the elected officials objected even with the employees
paying for the increase because there was no guarantee the municipality would never have to
pay. Chair Harding asked if the recommendation could be backed up with a report that most
likely the Village would never have to pay. Mr. Palmquist responded a statement could be
included in the amendment that the increase would be recalculated every five years to see if it
was still adequate, so that the municipality would not be asked to make up the difference.
Attorney Jensen advised this request did not come from the employees and asked if the board
wanted to send this back to staff to see if they were interested. Discussion ensued. Board
member Reid indicated she would be the person on staff who would contact staff to see who
was interested in this. Secretary Mangum commented he was all for increasing retirement
benefits but there would be disparity because younger employees might not feel they could
afford it while those closer to retirement would jump at it, and recommended not more than
• 2.25%.
MOTION:
Board Member Hansen made a motion to make a recommendation to increase the
employees' portion of contribution to the pension fund, with no ezpense to the
municipality, to 2.2% multiplier, and take that decision and present it to the employees
involved to get a consensus to be part of that and if there was positive feedback to
present it to the Village Council. Board Member Reid seconded the motion, which
carried by unanimous 4-0 vote.
Mr. Palmquist confirmed that the next actuarial report would be as of October 1, 2007 and he
would provide the board with the cost of providing that report annually.
Presentation By Monitor
Dave West, Bogdahn Consulting, LLC, explained his report was as of June 30, which had
been a good period; more recently the stock market had experienced turmoil, but this fund
had no issues to report and her not held any shares of American Home Mortgage. Mr. West
reviewed the figures and advised that $34,000 in investment gains had been added for the
quarter. The return yeaz to date was 10.48%, above the target return of 8%. Fixed income
and equity returns were reviewed. One quarter had been low during the year due to the
stocks that were in the portfolio at that time. Boazd Member Hansen asked the cost of doing
• business, to which Mr. West responded that Mr. Palmquist would be integrating all of the
cost in his actuarial report and would address that question, that Bogdahn Consulting looked
at the investment portion, taking inflows and outflows and time weighting them for the

Re: Proposed changes to General Employees Pension Trust Fund
Dear Betty:
Enclosed is the Supplemental Actuarial Valuation Report which shows the financial effect of
incrementally increasing the Benefit Multiplier by one-tenth of a percent, from 2.0% to 2.5% for
• Tequesta General Erployees' Pension Trust Fund.
This report is intended to describe the financial effect of the proposed plan changes. No
statement in this report is intended to be interpreted as a recommendation in favor of the
changes, or in opposition to them.
The calculations are based upon assumptions regarding future events, which may or may not
materialize. They are also based upon present and proposed plan provisions that are outlined in
the report. If you have reason to believe that the assumptions that were used are
unreasonable, that the plan provisions are incorrectly described, that important plan provisions
relevant to this proposal are not described, or that conditions have changed since the
calculations were made, you ~houla contact the author of this report prior to relying on
information in the report.
If you have reason to believe that the information provided in this report 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 author of the report prior to making such
decision.
In the event that more than one plan change is being considered, it is very important to
remember that the results of separate actuarial valuations cannot generally be added together
to produce a correct estimate of the combined effect of all of the changes. The total can be
considerably greater than the sum of the darts due to the interaction of various plan provisions
with each other, and with ttie assumptions that must be used.
