SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Meeting Date:12/17/2012
Approve contracts hiring Manning and Napier; and Eagle Capital Management as ]arge cap value money managers for the pension plan,
and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same.
SUMMARY:
The plan's large cap value manager was terminated earlier this year due to poor performance. The funds were
transferred into the Northern Trust Russell 1000 Value IndeX Fund pending the hiring of replacement manager(s).
The plan's Pension Investment Committee determined a preference for a replacement large cap value manager or
managers that would provide above average "downside" protection in declining markets, while providing a
competitive return during "up" markets.
The Committee requested Cap Trust, the plan's investment performance consultant, to conduct a manager search with
this guidance. The screening process and the due diligence review produced a short list of three managers, as follows,
that were interviewed by the Pension Investment Committee.
Eagle Capital Management
Manning and Napier
O'Shaughnessy Asset Management
The Committee elected to hire both Eagle Capital Management and Manning and Napier to fill the large cap value
space. The managers are very different in style, qualitative versus quantitative, and are non�orrelated. Each of the new
managers will get about $30 million to manage with a like amount remaining in the Northern Trust Russell 1000 value
index fund.
Eagle Capital charges an annual management fee of 1°/o on the first $5 million and 0.75% on balances over $5 million,
payable quarterly in arrears. Eagle's process is a very fundamental, "bottoms up" approach, which requires a highly
labor—intensive process (expensive) to identify buying opportunities. Eagle's fee is about average for this style of
manager
Manning and Napier charges an annual management fee of 0.35% payable semi—annually in advance. Mannin�s
process is highly quantitative and computer driven (cheaper) at the level of identifying buying opportunities. Manning
is a very large organization and is able to spread these costs across a larger client basis. Manning's fee is slightly less
than the average for a manager of this style.
The Pension Investment Committee feels that hiring these two large cap value managers, with significantly different
styles and fees, will best achieve the desired down—side protection and competitive up—side returns, �d is in the best
interest of the plan.

the terms of this Agreement. The Investment Manager accepts the appointment and
agrees to manage the Investment Account Assets in accordance with the terms of this

2. Investment Account Assets.
2.1 The Client will appoint an independent custodian or trustee (the "Custodian") and the
Investment Account Assets will be held by the Custodian in a segregated account (the
"Investment Account"). At no time will the Investment Manager have or take direct or
indirect custody of the Investment Account Assets.
2.2 The "Investment Account Assets" will consist of the portfolio of assets entrusted from
time to time to the management of the Investment Manager by the Client under this
Agreement, being:
the cash, stocks, bonds, securities, funds and other investments or property of
any kind whatsoever (reasonably acceptable to the Investment Manager); plus
ii. all investments, reinvestments and proceeds of the sale of those assets,
including (but not limited to) all dividends, interest and earnings on
investments, and all appreciation on and additions to such assets; minus
iii. any ]osses, expenses, withdrawals and distributions,
The Investment Account Assets will not include, and the Investment Manager will not
have responsibility for, any assets of the Client not expressly allocated to the
Investment Account under this Agreement, and the Investment Manager will only be
responsible for such assets for as long as they remain in the Investment Account.

providing an acicnowledged written notice to the Investment Manager. Any additions

retain, exchange or otherwise deal in investments and other assets, subscribe to issues

Attachment number 1 \nPa
4. Fees and Expenses.
4.1 For the Investment Manager's services, the Investment Manager is authorized to
charge the Investment Account quarterly with one quarter of the annual fee at the rate
of 1.0°/o of the assets on the first $5 million and 0.75°/o above $5 million (the
"Management Fee"). The Management Fee will be calculated on the value of the
Investment Account Assets at the end of each quarter and will be payable in arrears;
provided that, to the eXtent that the Client makes a contribution or withdrawal to the
Investment Account of an amount in excess of $10 million dollars or 5% of the value
of the Investment Account Assets (such an amount being the "Prorated Amount") on
any day other than the iirst day of a calendar quarter, the Management Fee payable in
respect of the Prorated Amount will be prorated to reflect the number of days in the
calendar quarter that the Prorated Amount formed part of the Investment Account
Assets.
4.2 Any and all expenses directly relating to the investment of Investment Account Assets
(including, but not limited to, all brokerage, commission and other transaction
charges, custodian fees, interest charges, transfer and registration fees and all taxes,
including any interest and penalties relating to such expenses), which may be levied
or assessed under existing or future laws will, unless otherwise agreed, be charged to
and paid out of the Investment Account Assets. The Client will be responsible for any
such expenses that are not paid out of the Investment Account Assets.
5. Aggregation and Allocation.
5.1 The Investment Manager will have the authority, but not the obligation, to aggregate
purchase or sale orders for the Investment Account Assets with similar orders being
made simultaneously for other accounts managed by Investment Manager, or with
accounts of the affiliates of the Investment Manager, if in the Investment Manager's
reasonable judgment such aggregation will result in an overall economic beneiit to the
Investment Account considering the advantageous selling ar purchase price,
brokerage commission and other expenses.
5.2 The Client acknowledges that the determination of such economic benefit to the
Investment Account Assets by the Investment Manager is subjective and represents
the Investment Manager's evaluation that the Investment Account Assets are
benefited by relatively better purchase or sales prices, lower commission expenses
and beneficial timing of transactions or a combination of these and other factors.
5.3 In accounting for such aggregated order price, commission and other expenses will be
averaged on a per bond or share basis daily.
5.4 It is understood that the Investment Manager performs investment advisory services
for various clients and that other accounts and persons advised by the Investment
Manager may have different investment objectives or considerations to the Investment
Account. As a result, decisions regarding purchases and sales for each management
account are made separately and independently in light of the objectives and purposes
of each account.

performance of its duties with respect to any of its other clients which differ from
action taken with respect to the Investment Account Assets.

6.1 The Investment Manager will have full authority and discretion to select the broker or
dealer who will execute any transaction in respect of the Investment Account. If the
Client directs the Investment Manager to execute transactions through one (or more)

from acceptance of that direction. Nothing shall require the Investment Manager to
accept direction to use a broker designated by the Client.

Manager may talce into account all factors it considers relevant, including, for

market prices and trends, the reputation, experience, and iinancial stability of the
broker or dealer involved and the quality of service provided by the broker or dealer
in other transactions.
6.4 The Investment Manager will not be deemed to have acted unlawfully or to have
breached any duty created by this Agreement solely because it caused the Investment
Account to pay a broker or dealer who provides brokerage and research services to the
Investment Manager a higher commission for carrying out a portfolio investment
transaction than another broker or dealer would have charged for that transaction, if
the Investment Manager determines in good faith that the commission was reasonable
considering the value of the brokerage and research services provided by that broker
or dealer. That good faith determination may consider the needs and interests of all
accounts managed by the Investment Manager.
6.5 Subject to the foregoing, the Investment Manager may elect to trade the securities
through or with any registered brokers or dealers, or through alternate trading
systems, or directly with other holders and may use block transactions or consolidate
for trading purposes the Investment Account's trades with similar trades being

be the broker, dealer, agent, or principal for any of the Investment Account's security
trades without the Investment Manager first notifying the Client in writing.
6.6 The Investment Manager will not be liable for any acts or omissions of any broker or
dealer selected by the Investment Manager, as long as the Investment Manager has

INTENT OF THE PARTIES:
Whereas Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC ("Investment Manager") located at 290 Woodcliff Drive,
Fairport, New York 14450 is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940;
Whereas the Client wishes to engage the services of the Investment Manager as provided in the
Investment Management Agreement between the Client and the Investment Manager below; NOW
THEREFORE, the parties intend that the following Investment Management Agreement govern the
relationships between them:
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT:
Appointment of Investment Manager
The Client appoints the Investment Manager as Client's agent and attorney-in-fact, to manage assets of
the Client which will be delivered to the Custodian for that purpose, together with the proceeds of
investment and reinvestment, (hereinafter referred to as the "AccounY'), with full authority to invest and
reinvest assets of the Account in securities or funds on behalf of the Client. In general, the role of
investment manager includes, but is not limited to, the following: working with the Client to establish
appropriate investment objectives for the portfolio; making asset allocation decisions within the portfolio in
accordance with set objectives; making the day-to-day investment decisions for the portfolio; providing
materials necessary for monitoring results in an accurate and relevant manner. Should the Client itself, or
through a third party service provider, wish to perform services similar to, or impacting on, the Investment
Manager's above listed responsibilities, the interests of the Account will be served by the Client notifying
the Investment Manager in advance, to ensure consistency in the measurement and performance of the
investment management process.
Discretionary Authority
The Client acknowledges and understands that:
The Investment Manager is given a Limited Power of Attorney giving full and exclusive discretionary
authority to invest and reinvest the assets in the Account, and, in that connection, to make determinations
as to which securities are to be bought or sold, where the securities are to be bought or sold and the total
amount of securities to be bought or sold for the Account, without obtaining the consent of or consulting
with the Client, but consistent with Investment Objectives, asset allocation guidelines, funding policy and
method or Special Instructions with respect to the Account as communicated to the Investment Manager
by the Client. The term "securities" as used in this Agreement may include (but not by way of limitation):
stocks, bonds, exchange-traded funds, mutual funds, currency hedging instruments such as forward
currency contracts or options on currencies, securities traded on foreign exchanges, and any other
instrument in the discretion of the Investment Manager are appropriate in connection with managing a
portfolio that may contain both non-U.S. and U.S. holdings for the Client. It is understood that all or a
portion of the Account may be held in cash or cash equivalents.
Unless the Client elects to retain voting powers for the securities held in the Account (to so elect, the
Client should notify the Investment Manager in writing), the Investment Manager shall have the power and
authority to vote according to its sole discretion the proxies for all securities held in the Account including
the right to revoke proxies given by the Client prior to the effective date of this Agreement. Without limiting
the foregoing, the Investment Manager is hereby authorized to consent to, or request any action on the
part of such corporation whose securities are held in the Account, and to participate in reorganizations,
recapitalizations, consolidations, mergers and similar transactions with respect to such stocks or other
securities. The Investment Manager shall not be liable for any actions taken pursuant to the voting power
and authority granted hereunder.
The Investment Manager shall not have the right to transfer out of or deposit into the Account funds or
securities unless such transaction is part of a purchase or sale of securities on Client's behalf, involves a
clearly documented error, or involves an amount or adjustment determined by the Investment Manager to
be payable from the Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Investment Manager shall not
Item # 5
�
Attachment number 2 \nPage 5
1�I
11�ANNING
& NAP �I�
be liable for Client initiated transactions which are outside the authority granted by this Limited Power of
Attorney.
The Custodian for the Account is hereby authorized and empowered to follow the Investment Manager's
instructions in every respect with regard to any such trades, purchases, or sales for the Account. It is
further understood that the Custodian will not be liable for the actions or instructions from the Investment
Manager, provided that the Custodian shall remain fully responsible for the safekeeping of assets in the
Account and for complying with legal requirements applicable to such safekeeping.
Any uninvested cash will be swept into a money market fund offered by the AccounYs Custodian, which
fund has associated with it certain advisory fees and other costs.
Commencement of Services
The Investment Manager will assume no responsibilities under this Agreement or the Investment Advisers
Act of 1940, and no fees shall be due, until the "Commencement Date" has been reached. The
Commencement Date is deemed to be reached when the assets comprising the Account (or a substantial
enough portion of the assets comprising the Account as determined at the discretion of the Investment
Manager) are ready to trade in the sole discretion of the Investment Manager. The Commencement Date
shall not be deemed to have been triggered if the Custodian sweeps cash from the Account in order to
generate interest for the Account, or if the Investment Manager liquidates securities transferred into the
Account by the Client, or if the Investment Manager issues instructions for isolated trades due to
circumstances unrelated to or which precede its general discretionary management of the Account or
which result from the specific direction of the Client. Securities transferred into the Account may, in the
sole discretion of the Investment Manager, be liquidated prior to the Commencement Date. The
Investment Manager shall not, under any circumstances, be liable for opportunity cost or any loss which
results from a reduction in the value of the assets in the Account prior to the Commencement Date.
Fees
The client will pay management fees to the Investment Manager as listed on Schedule A to this
Agreement. Certain securities purchased, including mutual funds and exchange-trade funds, shall also charge
expenses as reflected in the net asset value of the units or shares purchased.
Termination
This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until terminated by either of the parties hereto. Either
party may terminate this Agreement with or without cause. Termination shall occur upon at least thirty (30)
days written notice; and in such event, the Investment Manager shall be paid through the date of
termination.
Upon receipt of such notice of termination, the Investment Manager shall, to the extent practicable,
liquidate all securities in the Account in a timely manner by reducing the Client's holdings to cash or cash
equivalents unless the Client specifically instructs the Investment Manager to do otherwise in the notice of
termination. If the Client grants the Investment Manager authority to invest in shares of investment
companies (the "Sector Funds") for which the Investment Manager acts as investment advisor in the
portfolio, those funds will be liquidated in a timely manner. The Sector Funds cannot be transferred in-kind
should the Investment Manager's services be terminated. The Client has a right to terminate this
Agreement without penalty within 5 business days after the date of execution of this Agreement; provided,
however, that any investment action taken by Investment Manager with respect to the Account prior to the
effective date of such termination shall be at Client's risk.
Representations of the Client
The Client represents and warrants that in entering into this Agreement, he/she has relied only upon
representations and data which have been provided in written materials of the Investment Manager. The
Client further represents and warrants that he/she has reached the age of 21 years and is of sound mind
and has not been adjudicated incompetent.

II�ANNING
& NAP �I�
If the Client is a corporation, foundation, trust or other similar form of entity, the Client represents that the
person executing this Agreement is authorized to do so and upon execution this Agreement constitutes an
enforceable obligation of the Client.
Account Investment Objectives
The Investment Manager will manage the Account according to its understanding of the Client's
investment objectives. The client will communicate any change in investment objectives to the
Investment Manager in writing, provided, however, that no such change will be effective until the
Investment Manager has determined if it is appropriate for the Client. It is the responsibility of the client
to notify the Investment Manager in writing whenever there has been any significant change in the
ClienYs financial needs, goals or status and to provide whatever financial data or documentation is
requested by the Investment Manager in a timely manner. The Investment Manager will be allowed a
reasonable time period to come into compliance with changes in investment objectives so that
prevailing market conditions can be considered.
Use of Recording Devices
In order to protect the interests of all parties, the Investment Manager is authorized in its sole discretion to
record any telephone or other communications relating in any way to the Account.
Disclaimers
The Investment Manager will not be responsible for and is hereby released from any loss or damages in
any form resulting directly or indirectly from the failure of the Client to fulfill any of his/her responsibilities
under this Agreement or to provide the Investment Manager with complete, accurate, and truthful data as
required in this Agreement or as otherwise requested by the Investment Manager. The disclaimers or
limitations of liability of the Investment Manager in this Disclaimers Section and elsewhere in this
Investment Management Agreement (including the last sentences of the following Sections: Discretionary
Authority (subsection: voting power and authority), Commencement of Services and Acknowledgement)
do not constitute a waiver of any right of the Client provided by the Advisers Act of 1940, any other federal
and state securities laws, or ERISA if applicable, and the Client retains all such rights.
Arbitration
All disputes between the Investment Manager and the Client, except for those involving alleged theft or
misappropriation, shall be submitted to arbitration with the American Arbitration Association; and the
results of such shall be binding upon the parties and enforceable in a court of law. Any such arbitration
shall be arbitrated by one person who shall be a businessman not active in the investment advisory
business. This Arbitration Section does not constitute a waiver by the Client of any right provided by the
Advisers Act, or other federal and state securities laws or ERISA, including any right to choose the forum,
whether arbitration or litigation in court, in which to seek resolution of disputes.
ERISA Representations and Warranties
If the Client is a Qualified Retirement Plan (including a Keogh Plan) as defined in the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"):
(A) the Client represents and warrants that the person signing for the Client is a named fiduciary under
the qualified plan with authority to appoint an investment manager for the assets of the qualified plan in
accordance with the provisions of the qualified plan and Section 402(c)(3) of ERISA, that the qualified
plan permits investments of the type to be made pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement and
the Investment Objectives, and that any Special Instructions provided by the Client to the Investment
Manager are consistent with the plan documents and funding and benefit requirements of the plan and the
beneficiaries;
(B) the Client shall provide the Investment Manager with a copy of any portion of the Qualified
Retirement Plan documents which limit or tend to limit in any way the Investment Manager's discretion
over management of the Account;
(C) the Investment Manager represents and warrants that it is, and at all times during the term of this
Agreement shall be, an investment manager as that term is defined in Section 3(38) of ERISA;

Miscellaneous
No assignment of this Agreement shall be made without the written consent of both parties. Any notice or
service of process to be given hereunder shall be sufficient if in writing and addressed to the parties at
their last known address or place of business. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State
of New York (without regard to any principles of conflicts of laws) and applicable federal laws and
regulations; and is binding upon the parties hereto and their respective executors, administrators, heirs
and successors in interest. The site of jurisdiction and venue for any arbitration or court proceeding will
be Monroe County, New York. Neither party shall, except as required by law, governmental order, or in
the preparation for, or in the conduct of, litigation or arbitration, disclose to any third party the fact of

be amended or modified in any way except by a subsequent written agreement executed by the parties.
In the case of joint Account, each owner must subscribe to this Agreement. The Investment Manager is
expressly authorized, in its sole discretion, to rely and to act upon the instructions of a single joint owner;
unless and until written instructions to the contrary, signed by each such joint owner, are received by the
Investment Manager. If any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement shall be construed
to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall be unaffected and shall

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Meeting Date:12/17/2012
Accept the actuary's recommendations for changes to plan actuarial assumptions and methods, per the Experience Investigation
completed by Gabriel Roeder Smith and Company for the five-year period ending December 31, 2011.
SUMMARY:
It is recommended to have a pension plan experience study conducted by an actuarial firm at least every five years to
assure that reasonable and relevant assumptions and methods are in effect to calculate the annual actuarially required
contribution necessary to properly fund the plan. It has been approximately six years since completion of the last
experience study for the Clearwater Employees' Pension Plan.
The Plan's actuaries, Gabriel Roeder Smith and Company (GRS), have completed an Experience Investigation study
far the pension plan (attached) and have provided recommendations of changes to the assumptions and methods used
in the plan's annual actuarial valuation.
The net effect of all proposed changes increases the annual required contribution to the plan by an estimated
$1,665,000, or 2.28% of covered payroll.
These changes include changes to the salary increase assumption, assumed rates of future employee terminations,
assumed rates of future retirements, assumed rates of future disability, assumed mortality rates, and a change in the
investment return assumption, as listed on the attachment. These changes are also described in more detail by the
actuary in the attached Experience Investigation report.
Staff recommends approval of all recommended changes to more accurately determine the pension plan liability and
required funding levels, per the professional advice of the plan's actuaries.

Gabriel, Roeder, Smith & Company is pleased to provide the results of our experience investigation for
the City of Clearwater Employees' Pension Plan. The period covered by this study is January 1,
2007 through December 31, 2011. Based upon the results, certain changes in actuarial assumptions
for valuation purposes are recommended.
The Table of Contents, which immediately follows, sets out the material contained in this report.
This Report was prepared at the request of the Board and is intended for use by the Retirement
System and those designated or approved by the Board. This Report may be provided to parties
other than the Plan only in its entirety and only with the permission of the Board.
The purpose of this Report is to evaluate the assumptions and methods used for the January 1, 2012
Actuarial Valuation, and to describe the �nancial effect of the recommended assumption and
method changes based on our findings. This Report should not be relied on for any purpose other
than the purpose described above.
The study was performed on the basis of participant data and financial information supplied by the
City in connection with the valuations performed during the years studied. We checked for internal
and year-to-year consistency, but did not otherwise audit this data. We are not responsible for the
accuracy or completeness of the information provided by the City.
The enclosed calculations are based upon the Plan provisions as summarized in the January 1, 2012
Actuarial Valuation Report, but also reflecting the amendments passed in the November 6, 2012
referendum (as summarized in our Actuarial Impact Statement dated March 13, 2012).
If you have reason to believe the assumptions used are unreasonable, the Plan provisions are
incorrectly described or referenced, or that important Plan provisions relevant to this study are not
described, you should contact the undersigned prior to relying on this information.

EXPERIENCE INVESTIGATION
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
The five-year period (January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2011) covered by this experience
investigation provided sufficient data to form a basis far recommending updates in the following
demographic and financial assumptions used in the actuarial valuation of the Pension Plan.
Recommended changes in actuarial assumptions resulting from this experience investigation,
including the anticipated impact on City contributions as a dollar amount and a percentage of
expected 2012 covered payroll ($72,791,074) are summarized below. (Note: the amortization period
for the change in accrued liability resulting from the assumption changes was 30 years.)
For comparison purposes, the required City contribution far the fiscal year ending September 30,
2013 (after reflecting the amendments passed in the November 6, 2012 referendum, as
summarized in our Actuarial Impact Statement dated March 13, 2012) is $16,987,91 l, or 23.3�%
of covered payroll. The amendment reduced the required City contribution by $3,925,809, or
5.39% of covered payroll. The funded ratio after reflecting the amendments is 97.6% based on
the current assumptions (versus 94.5% before reflecting the amendments).

shorter service members and lower salary increases for longer service members.

duty members).

Note: The sum of the individual cost impacts does not equal the impact of all changes
combined. This is due to the interaction of Plan provisions and actuarial assumptions with one
another and the effect that one assumption change can have on the impact of another
assumption change.

EXPERIENCE INVESTIGATION RESULTS
The methodology, basic results and conclusions of the five-year experience investigation of the
actuarial assumptions are described below.
Methodology
The expected salaries at the end of each year were obtained by use of the salary scale assumption
(currently 6.0% per year) used in the January 1, 2012 actuarial valuation. The resulting expected
salaries were then compared with the actual salaries reported.
The number of inembers exposed to risk during each period was tabulated (exposure) and the
expected incidence of termination (separation of inembers not eligible for early or normal
retirement), retirement and disability were obtained by use of the termination, retirement and
disability rates employed in the most recent actuarial valuation. The actual number of terminations,
retirees and disabilities was tabulated and compared with those expected.
The published mortality table used as the basis for the rates of mortality used in the most recent
actuarial valuation (RP 2000 Combined Healthy Participant Mortality Table for males and females)
was reviewed in connection with the latest published tables to determine the continued adequacy of
the current mortality assumptions.
Finally, an evaluation of the Plan's investment return assumption was conducted, using forward-
looking capital market assumptions (of expected investment returns and volatilities for various
asset classes) collected from eight different investment consultants.

Basic Results and Conclusions
Rates of Salary Increase
Attachment number 1 \nPage 9
Observed rate of pay increases were higher than expected in the first few years of service and lower
than those expected in later years of service based upon the current assumptions. Compensation
increases during the first year was not included in the analysis, due to large fluctuations in pay and
incomplete data.

Rates of Retirement
The observed number of retirements was lower than that expected under the assumed rates of
retirement used in the January 1, 2012 actuarial valuation. Observed experience indicates that some
hazardous members work beyond age 60 and some non-hazardous members work beyond age 70.

Rates of Mortality
We propose that the assumed healthy mortality rates, which are currently based upon the rates from
the RP 2000 Combined Healthy Participant Mortality Table with separate rates for males and
females, be updated to include future mortality improvements using Scale BB, making the table a
fully generational mortality table.
We also propose that for disability retirees the assumed mortality rates described above be set
forward five years to reflect impaired longevity.

Rates of Employment Termination
The actual number of terminations was lower than the number of expected terminations for
hazardous members and non-hazardous male members, but was higher than the number of expected
terminations for non-hazardous female members. Since experience varies by both age and years of
service, we propose select and ultimate rates of termination, with a three-year select period for
hazardous members and a five-year select period for non-hazardous members. Also, since
experience for non-hazardous members differs between males and females, our proposed rates for
non-hazardous members vary by gender. The current and proposed termination rates are shown in
the following tables. Actual versus expected experience is shown in the Appendix on pages 18-20.

CITY OF CLEARWATER EMPLOYEES' PENSION PLAN
EXPERIENCE INVESTIGATION RESULTS
Investment Return and Wage Growth
Economic assumptions include long-term rates of investment return and inflation (the across-
the-board portion of salary increases). Unlike demographic activities, economic activities do not
lend themselves to analysis solely on the basis of internal historical patterns because both salary
increases and investment return are more affected by external forces; namely inflation (both
wage and price), general productivity changes and the local economic environment which defy
accurate long-term prediction. Estimates of economic activities are generally selected on the
basis of the expectations in an inflation-free environment and then both are increased by some
provision for long-term inflation.
If inflation and/or productivity increases are higher than expected, it will probably result in both
actual rates of salary increases and investment return which exceed the assumed rates. Salaries
increasing faster than expected produce unexpected higher liabilities. Investment return
exceeding the assumed rates (whether due to manager performance, change in the mix of assets,
or general market conditions) results in unanticipated higher assets. To the extent that inflation,
productivity, and other factors have about the same effect on both sides of the balance sheet,
these additional assets and liabilities can offset one another over the long-term.
Wage Inflation. The average rate of increase in National Average Earnings over the past 50
years is higher than the current 3.0% assumption. The difference between the long-term averages
and more recent experience is related to the excess rates of price and wage inflation during the
1970s, which most observers do not expect to see repeated. When the decade of high inflation is
factored out, long term national averages remain just above the current 3.0% assumption.
Investment Return and Spread. The current asset portfolio for the retirement program is a
diversified mix of equity, fiXed income and other investments. Real market returns (the spread
between recognized net investment return and wage inflation) for balanced portfolios have
averaged 3.9% over the past 50 years. Only hindsight will tell whether a particular combination
of economic assumptions is optimaL If future economic patterns are as favorable as in the
1980's and 1990's, this spread would prove to be conservative. If, on the other hand, the
investment markets produce lower real returns, contribution rate increases will become likely at
some future date.

It must be recognized that the investment return assumption is of a long-term nature. Short-term
periods should not overly influence its level. The current assumed rate of return is 7.50°/o gross
of investment related fees. Investment related expenses are approximately 0.52% of assets
which means that the expected net return is approximately 6.98%.
If investment returns fall short of the assumption for an extended number of years, losses will
tend to push up the required contribution. Based on this, it may be more realistic to lower the
assumed rate for purposes of the actuarial valuation. A lower rate will result in a higher
probability of ineeting the assumption and smaller actuaria] losses when the assumption is not
realized.

Investment Return and Wage Growth (Continued)
We recommend a decrease in the annual investment return assumption to 7.00% net of
investment expenses and a decrease in the annual inflation assumption to 2.50%. If the
investment return assumption is lowered to 7.00%, there would still be a 53.8% chance of failing
to meet the assumed return over a 20-year period.
This recommendation should be reviewed again if the asset allocation is changed significantly. It
is also very important for the Board to seek advice of the Plan's investment consultant on this
matter.

Purpose of the Actuarial Valuation
In a defined benefit pension plan, an employer makes a promise to its employees of a lifetime
pension. The amount of the monthly pension is determined by a benefzt fo�mula which is often
based upon a multiplier percentage and the number of years of service and the average final
earnings of the employee.
The employer must design and follow a systematic plan for advance-funding this obligation.
That is accomplished by establishing a pension fund and performing annual actuarial valuations
to measure the liabilities associated with the obligation and to calculate how much the employer
must contribute to the pension fund in order to make good on its promise.
The calculations in the actuarial valuation are performed each year to re-measure the liabilities.
The stakeholders need to know how the plan is doing in its goal of systematically financing the
promised benefits. So it is important to make the actuarial calculations in accordance with the
professional actuarial standards of practice and the accounting standards.
Role of Actuarial Assumptions
The nature of the pension promise and its systematic funding require long term projections of the
employee workforce (using demographic assumptions) and long term projections of the salaries
and investment returns (using economic assumptions). The entire actuarial valuation process
depends on the selection and use of reasonable actuarial assumptions as to future demographics
and future economics. There are many different actuarial assumptions employed in an actuarial
valuation. The primary actuarial assumptions include:
1. Rates of Salary Increases
2. Rates of Retirement
3. Rates of Mortality
4. Rates of Termination of Employment
5. Rates of Disability
6. Rates of Investment Return
The actuary and plan management must be comfortable with the actuarial assumptions. The
assumptions must be reasonable. Without a level of confidence in the reasonableness of the
actuarial assumptions, the stakeholders and users of the valuation results cannot have confidence
in the results. However, there is no way to have confidence in the actuarial assumptions unless
an actuarial experience study is performed to assess the reasonableness of the current
assumptions or to change them to be more in line with past experience and with future
expectations.
For this reason the Board has requested that we undertake an actuarial experience study to
recommend changes to the actuarial assumptions used in the annual actuarial valuation.
