Mortality Table:
Number of years for which current market value of assets are adequate to sustain the payment
of expected retirement benefits reflecting no contributions from the City, Members or State:
Note: As required in Section 112.664(c) of the Florida Statutes, the projection of System assets does not include contributions from the
City, Member or State. For this reason, this projection should not be viewed as representative of the amount of time the System can
sustain benefit payments. Under the Government Accounting Standards Board standards which include City, Member and State
contributions, the System is expected to be able to pay all future benefit payments.
For healthy participants during employment, RP 2000Combined HealthyParticipant MortalityTables, with90% BlueCollar
Adjustment / 10% White Collar Adjustment for males and 100% White Collar Adjustment for females. Fully generational
mortality improvements projected to each future decrement date with Scale BB. For healthy participants post
employment, RP 2000 Annuitant Mortality Tables, with 90% Blue Collar Adjustment / 10% White Collar Adjustment for
malesand100%White CollarAdjustmentforfemales. Fullygenerational mortalityimprovements projectedto eachfuture

years / 40% RP‐2000 Annuitant Male Mortality Table with White Collar Adjustment with no setback, without projected
mortality improvements. For disabled female participants, 60% RP‐2000 Disabled Female Mortality Table setforward two
years / 40% RP‐2000 Annuitant Female Mortality Table with White Collar Adjustment with no setback, without projected
mortality improvements.

Actuarial Assumptions and Actuarial Cost Methods Used in the Valuation
as of October 1, 2018
Under this method the excess of the Actuarial Present Value of Projected Benefits of the
group included in the valuation, over the sum of the Smoothed Value of Assets is allocated as
a level percentage of earnings of the group between the valuation date and the assumed
retirement age. This allocation is performed for the group as a whole, not as a sum of
individual allocations. The portion of this Actuarial Present Value allocated to a specific year
is called the Normal Cost. Under this method, actuarial gains (losses) reduce (increase)
future Normal Costs.
The method used for determining the smoothed value of assets phases in the deviation
between the expected and actual return on assets at the rate of 25% per year. The smoothed
value of assets will be further adjusted to the extent necessary to fall within the corridor
whose lower limit is 80% of the fair market value of System assets and whose upper limit is
120% of the fair market value of System assets.

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.

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 30 years, it is 29 years at the end of one year, 28 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.
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

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 30 years, the same 30‐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
