2 Summary of Fiscal Impact of OPEB Benefit Changes (as of July 1, 2011) Reduced Actuarial Liabilities by 49% From: $2.76 billion To: $1.39 billion Reduction: $1.37 billion Reduced Annual OPEB Cost by 55% From: $212.5 million To: $95.3 million Reduction: $117.2 million 2-2

3 Background MPS provides retiree healthcare and life insurance benefits, which requires: Recognizing a Balance Sheet liability on yearly financial statements/cafr Disclosing actuarial liabilities off the district s balance sheet (As footnoted in the financial statements/cafr) 2-3

4 Definitions There are two ways to evaluate the District s TOTAL retiree benefit obligation: Balance Sheet Liability The balance sheet liability is the cumulative difference between the actuarially determined cost applicable to the fiscal year (Annual OPEB Cost or Expense) and the actual pay-as-you-go contributions. The Annual OPEB Cost represents the annual amount needed to finance: the existing unfunded actuarial liability over a fixed period, such as 30 years, plus the value of benefits earned during the year. Simply stated, accrued unpaid amount Actuarial Liability Actuarial liability is the value of retiree healthcare and life insurance benefits that the District owes to current and future retirees for benefit service earned to date. The difference between the actuarial liability and assets, if any, is disclosed off the balance sheet. Simply stated, total amount owed 2-4

7 Key Valuation Results Balance Sheet Liability ($ Millions) June 30, 2010 June 30, 2011 June 30, 2012 June 30, 2019 Balance Sheet Liability (boy) Annual OPEB Cost (ARC + int./adjs.) Employer Contribution - Pay GO Balance Sheet Liability (eoy) Annual OPEB Cost (Annual Required Contributions ARC + int./adjs.) is still greater than the Annual Pay GO contribution. Therefore the Balance Sheet Liability will continue to grow, but at a lesser rate due to District OPEB changes. 2-7

14 Next Steps and Challenges Despite the plan design changes made, we recommend monitoring and evaluating the future growth in the OPEB actuarial liability and balance sheet liability to determine next steps. Challenges and cost drivers faced by MPS may include: The rate of medical inflation greater than the consumer price index Longevity retirees living longer Utilization members using more healthcare services Growth of retiree population - the ratio of actives to retirees is approaching 1:1 Medicare potential for increased cost shifting to the MPS retiree health plan 2-14
