Re: Village of Tequesta Public Safety Officers Pension Trust Fund
Supplemental Actuarial Valuation Report
Dear Kerry:
As requested,we have prepared the enclosed 30-year projections showing the financial impact on the
Village of Tequesta Public Safety Officers Pension Trust Fund of the proposed Plan changes detailed
below.
■ Scenario 1(Updated Baseline)—These are the updated baseline results, reflecting the benefit
changes adopted in the most recent collective bargaining agreement for police officers. The Pension
Plan would be re-opened for police officers. The 12 current police officers who currently participate
in the 401(a) Plan would not receive credit for service earned prior to entering the Pension Plan. The
benefit multiplier for new members would be equal to 2%for the first three years of service, 2.35%
for the next three years of service,and 2.75%for each year of service thereafter. The member
contribution rate for these members would be 6%of pensionable earnings.
■ Scenario 2—Same as Scenario 1 except the benefit muttiplier would be equal to 2.75%for each
year of service.
■ Scenario 3—Same as Scenario 2 except the 12 police officers who currently participate in the
401(a) Plan would receive credit for both future service and service earned prior to entering the
Pension Plan. The 401(a) Plan balances for these 12 police officers would be transferred to the
Pension Plan. This transfer amount would be equal to the Village contributions to the 401(a) Plan
for these 12 members plus the contributions these members would have paid to the Pension Plan,
including interest. We have estimated the transfer amount to be$269,284. Under this scenario,
we have assumed the Plan would be eligible to receive future annual Chapter 185 revenue. We
have assumed that the full amount of annual Chapter 185 revenue($157,450 was allocated for
FYE 2017)would be used as an offset to the Village required contribution, but this would be
subject to negotiations between the Union and the Village.
■ Scenario 4—Same as Scenario 3 except we assume the Plan would also receive the annual Chapter
185 revenue that was allocated, but not received,for FYE 2014—2017. The unreceived Chapter
185 revenue for these years totaled$471,094. We have assumed that this full amount of
previously unreceived Chapter 185 revenue would be used as an offset to the Village required
contributions.

Under all scenarios,the remaining benefits for these police officers are assumed to be the same as the
current Pension Plan provisions for police officers.
Under each of these scenarios,we have assumed that all 12 police officers would transfer to the Pension
Plan. If there are any police officers that do not transfer to the Pension Plan,the Division of Retirement
would need to determine if the Chapter 185 revenue would still be available to the Plan. We recommend
that this be confirmed in writing before any final decision is made.
Additionally, under all scenarios,the calculations do not include an allocation of the accumulated unused
balance of Chapter 185 money of$333,315. The use of this reserve is subject to negotiations between the
Union and the Village. The funds can be used for share accounts,to offset the Village's contribution,or
other uses defined by the parties.
It is important to note that potential effects on other benefit plans were not considered in this study. This
study does not reflect the Village's savings in the 401(a) Plan for police officers who would join the Pension
Plan.
Under Scenario 3,the required Village contributions would decrease as compared to the updated baseline
results. The decrease is based on the Plan receiving future Chapter 185 revenue. The Village required
contribution for FYE 2018 would also be reduced by the Chapter 185 revenue received in August 2018.
Under Scenario 4,the required Village contributions would decrease as compared to the updated baseline
results. The net required Village contributions are projected to be$0 for the fiscal years ending 2019
through 2022. The decrease is based on the Plan receiving future Chapter 185 revenue as well as the
previously unreceived Chapter 185 revenue for FYE 2014—2017. We have assumed that the previously
unreceived Chapter 185 revenue of$471,094 would be applied as an offset each year starting in FYE 2019
to reduce the required Village contribution to$0 until the balance is fully used. The Village required
contribution for FYE 2018 would also be reduced by the Chapter 185 revenue received in August 2018.
We have assumed that Chapter 185 revenue would remain level at$157,450 for the fiscal years ending
2017 through 2019 then increase by 2.5%each future year. Administrative expenses are also assumed
to increase by 2.5%each future year.
The projections are deterministic, meaning throughout the projection period, Plan experience is
expected to match the assumptions used during all future years beginning with the fiscal year ending
September 30, 2018, including the assumed investment return of 7.25%each year.

report is intended to be interpreted as a recommendation in favor of the changes,or in opposition to
them. Except as otherwise noted, potential effects on other benefit plans were not considered.
The calculations in this report are based upon data provided by the Village covering the 12 police officers
currently in the 401(a) Plan as well as information furnished by the Plan Administrator for the October 1,
2017 Actuarial Valuation concerning Plan benefits,financial transactions, plan provisions and active
members,terminated members, retirees and beneficiaries. We reviewed this information for internal and
year-to-year consistency, but did not audit the data. We are not responsible for the accuracy or
completeness of the information provided by the Plan Administrator.
The calculations are based upon assumptions regarding future events,which may or may not materialize.
They are also based on the assumptions, methods,and plan provisions outlined in this report. 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; 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. 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 should contact the author of the report prior to relying on
information in the report.

Lori,
This is a matter that the Pension Board has been working on with the Village since the end of March. Below is the
background on this matter.
The recent collective bargaining agreement has a provision that the officers hired on or after February 1, 2013 who are
in the 401(k) plan have the option to move into the Tequesta Public Safety Officers Pension Trust Fund,the defined
benefit program, and begin to accrue future service.
Upon receiving the information that up to 11 new officers will be moving into the plan,the actuary and I began working
together to determine whether there is a possibility that the Pension Fund could again become eligible for the 185
money. If the Village's Police Pension Plan can participate again,there is also at least an argument to be made that the
Pension Fund is eligible for the 185 money that was missed during the years that the plan was not compliant. It is
unknown how that would turn out, but the Municipal Police and Fire office is still holding those funds.
The Pension Fund asked the actuary to calculate the cost impact of coming into compliance with the requirements of
Chapter 185 of the Florida Statutes. See the attached report.The report concludes that if the Pension Plan comes into
compliance with Chapter 185 and is eligible to receive the excise premium tax revenue sharing again,there will be a cost
savings to the Village. Whether the Plan is in compliance will need to be determined by the State, but at a minimum will
require:
• The plan to be reopened beginning February 1, 2013;
• To provide those members with a 2.75% multiplier; and
• To dissolve the 401(a) plan and deposit those assets into the defined benefit plan.
We are not sure of the impact if less than all of the officers opt to become pension fund members.
I have confirmation that the Union is interested in pursuing a determination from the State. Confirmation of interest is
needed from the Village to go forward as this would require a change to the already settled collective bargaining
agreement. Should the Village agree to move forward, 1 would draft an amendment to the Plan that would bring the
Plan into compliance and then submit it to the state for a ruling on whether the Plan is once again compliant with
Chapter 185.
This may be the one opportunity for the Village to once again participate in receiving the 185 money, so the actuary and
I brought this forward to the Pension Fund. We did not want this potential income opportunity to pass by without
notice.

Good morning Bonni,
Ray Korkowski was in my office this morning inquiring as to why the pension board agenda item was not on tonight's
workshop agenda. I don't know where the breakdown took place, but this was the first I have heard of this request.
With that said,the Mayor has agreed to place this on the 7/12 agenda as a Presentation (no action to be taken) so
Council can determine how it wishes to proceed further. Ray sent me the attached report for inclusion, however, if you
can provide me with a memo on where you stand working with the State on obtaining the 185 back it could only help
your case. I am on a tight deadline so I will need this memo today, please.
Thank you,
Lori McWilliams
