2 2018 Powers Ferry Road, Suite 850 Atlanta, GA T March 22, 2016 Board of Trustees City of Jacksonville Disability Program 117 West Duval Street, Suite 330 Jacksonville, FL Dear Board Members: We are pleased to submit this Actuarial Valuation and Review as of October 1, It summarizes the actuarial data used in the valuation, analyzes the preceding year s experience, and establishes the funding requirements for the fiscal year beginning October 1, This report was prepared in accordance with generally accepted actuarial principles and practices at the request of the Board to assist in administering the Disability Program. The census information on which our calculations were based was prepared by the Retirement System Administrative Office and the financial information was provided by the City's Finance Department. That assistance is gratefully acknowledged. Statement by Enrolled Actuary: This actuarial valuation and/or cost determination was prepared and completed by me, or under my direct supervision, and I acknowledge responsibility for the results. To the best of my knowledge, the results are complete and accurate, and in my opinion, the techniques and assumptions used are reasonable and meet the requirements and intent of Part VII, Chapter 112, Florida Statutes. There is no benefit or expense to be provided by the plan and/or paid from the plan s assets for which liabilities or current costs have not been established or otherwise taken into account in the valuation. All known events or trends which may require a material increase in plan costs or required contribution rates have been taken into account in the valuation. The measurements shown in this actuarial valuation may not be applicable for other purposes. 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); and changes in plan provisions or applicable law.

3 The actuarial calculations were directed under my supervision. I am a member of the American Academy of Actuaries and I meet the Qualification Standards of the American Academy of Actuaries to render the actuarial opinion herein. I look forward to reviewing this report at your next meeting and to answering any questions. Sincerely, Segal Consulting, a Member of The Segal Group, Inc. By: Jeffrey S.

5 SECTION 1: Valuation Summary for the City of Jacksonville Disability Program Purpose This report has been prepared by Segal Consulting to present a valuation of the City of Jacksonville Disability Program as of October 1, The valuation was performed to determine whether the assets and contributions are sufficient to provide the prescribed benefits. The contribution requirements presented in this report are based on: The benefit provisions of the Disability Program, as administered by the Board; The characteristics of covered active participants, inactive vested participants, and retired participants and beneficiaries as of October 1, 2015, provided by the Retirement System Administrative Office; The assets of the Plan as of September 30, 2015, provided by the City's Finance Department; Economic assumptions regarding future salary increases and investment earnings; and Other actuarial assumptions, regarding employee terminations, retirement, death, etc. Significant Issues in Valuation Year The following key findings were the result of this actuarial valuation: 1. The Disability Program is funded by a combination of an employer contribution rate of 0.30% of pay and an employee contribution rate of 0.30% of pay. This level of contributions has been determined to be sufficient to meet the amortization schedule requirements of Part VII, Chapter 112, Florida Statutes. As this funding policy provides a reasonable effective amortization period, it has been used as the basis of the recommended contribution calculated in this report. 2. The following assumptions were changed in this valuation: Based on lower inflation expectations and continued expectations of lower real returns, the discount rate was lowered from 7.75% to 7.50%. Based on lower inflation expectations, the long-term payroll growth rate assumption was lowered from 3.00% to 2.75%. As mandated by Part VII, Chapter (5)(a) of Florida Statutes, the payroll growth rate for amortization purposes was 2.50%. Based on plan experience through September 30, 2014 and expectations of future increased life expectancy, the mortality assumption for active participants was changed from the RP-2000 Employee Mortality Table, set forward one year and projected to 2013 with Scale BB to the RP-2014 Employee Mortality Table, set forward four years for males and three years for females, projected generationally with Scale MP-2015; i

6 SECTION 1: Valuation Summary for the City of Jacksonville Disability Program Based on plan experience and expectations of future increased life expectancy, the mortality assumption for beneficiaries was changed from the RP-2000 Annuitant Mortality Table, set forward one year and projected to 2013 with Scale BB to the RP-2014 Healthy Annuitant Mortality Table, set forward four years for males and three years for females, projected generationally with Scale MP-2015; Based on plan experience and expectations of future increased life expectancy, the mortality assumption for disabled retirees was changed from the RP-2000 Disabled Retiree Mortality Table to the RP-2014 Disabled Retiree Mortality Table, set forward four years for both males and females, projected generationally with Scale MP There were no plan changes since the prior valuation. 4. The actuarial valuation report as of October 1, 2015 is based on financial information as of that date. Changes in the value of assets subsequent to that date, to the extent they exist, are not reflected. Unfavorable asset experience will increase the actuarial cost of the Plan, while favorable experience will decrease the actuarial cost of the Plan. ii

8 SECTION 1: Valuation Summary for the City of Jacksonville Disability Program Important Information About Actuarial Valuations An actuarial valuation is a budgeting tool with respect to the financing of future projected obligations of a pension plan. It is an estimated forecast the actual long-term cost of the plan will be determined by the actual benefits and expenses paid and the actual investment experience of the plan. In order to prepare a valuation, Segal Consulting ( Segal ) relies on a number of input items. These include: Plan of benefits Plan provisions define the rules that will be used to determine benefit payments, and those rules, or the interpretation of them, may change over time. Even where they appear precise, outside factors may change how they operate. It is important to keep Segal informed with respect to plan provisions and administrative procedures, and to review the plan summary included in our report to confirm that Segal has correctly interpreted the plan of benefits. Participant data An actuarial valuation for a plan is based on data provided to the actuary by the Retirement System Administrative Office. Segal does not audit such data for completeness or accuracy, other than reviewing it for obvious inconsistencies compared to prior data and other information that appears unreasonable. It is important for Segal to receive the best possible data and to be informed about any known incomplete or inaccurate data. Assets The valuation is based on the market value of assets as of the valuation date, as provided by the City s Finance Department. Actuarial assumptions In preparing an actuarial valuation, Segal projects the benefits to be paid to existing plan participants for the rest of their lives and the lives of their beneficiaries. This projection requires actuarial assumptions as to the probability of death, disability, withdrawal, and retirement of each participant for each year. In addition, the benefits projected to be paid for each of those events in each future year reflect actuarial assumptions as to salary increases and cost-of-living adjustments. The projected benefits are then discounted to a present value, based on the assumed rate of return that is expected to be achieved on the plan s assets. There is a reasonable range for each assumption used in the projection and the results may vary materially based on which assumptions are selected. It is important for any user of an actuarial valuation to understand this concept. Actuarial assumptions are periodically reviewed to ensure that future valuations reflect emerging plan experience. While future changes in actuarial assumptions may have a significant impact on the reported results, that does not mean that the previous assumptions were unreasonable. iv

9 SECTION 1: Valuation Summary for the City of Jacksonville Disability Program The user of Segal s actuarial valuation (or other actuarial calculations) should keep the following in mind: The actuarial valuation is prepared at the request of the Board. Segal is not responsible for the use or misuse of its report, particularly by any other party. An actuarial valuation is a measurement of the plan s assets and liabilities at a specific date. Accordingly, except where otherwise noted, Segal did not perform an analysis of the potential range of future financial measures. The actual long-term cost of the plan will be determined by the actual benefits and expenses paid and the actual investment experience of the plan. If the City is aware of any event or trend that was not considered in this valuation that may materially change the results of the valuation, Segal should be advised, so that we can evaluate it. Segal does not provide investment, legal, accounting, or tax advice. Segal s valuation is based on our understanding of applicable guidance in these areas and of the plan s provisions, but they may be subject to alternative interpretations. The Board should look to their other advisors for expertise in these areas. As Segal Consulting has no discretionary authority with respect to the management or assets of the Plan, it is not a fiduciary in its capacity as actuaries and consultants with respect to the Plan. v

10 SECTION 2: Valuation Results for the City of Jacksonville Disability Program A. PARTICIPANT DATA The Actuarial Valuation and Review considers the number and demographic characteristics of covered participants, including active participants, vested terminated participants, retired participants and beneficiaries. This section presents a summary of significant statistical data on these participant groups. More detailed information for this valuation year and the preceding valuation can be found in Section 3, Exhibits A, and B. Active Participants Plan costs are affected by the age, years of service and payroll of active participants. In this year s valuation, there were 5,625 active participants with an average age of 47.5, average years of service of 10.7 years and average payroll of $51,601. The 5,627 active participants in the prior valuation had an average age of 47.5, average service of 11.0 years and average payroll of $51,463. These graphs show a distribution of active participants by age and by years of service. CHART 1 Distribution of Active Participants by Age as of September 30, 2015 CHART 2 Distribution of Active Participants by Years of Service as of September 30, ,200 1, ,000 1,800 1,600 1,400 1,200 1,

11 SECTION 2: Valuation Results for the City of Jacksonville Disability Program Disabled Participants and Beneficiaries As of September 30, 2015, 36 disabled participants were receiving total monthly benefits of $54,741. For comparison, in the previous valuation, there were 16 disabled participants receiving monthly benefits of $26,382. These graphs show a distribution of the current disabled participants based on their monthly amount and age. CHART 3 Distribution of Disabled Participants by Monthly Amount as of September 30, CHART 4 Distribution of Disabled Participants by Age as of September 30,

12 SECTION 2: Valuation Results for the City of Jacksonville Disability Program B. FINANCIAL INFORMATION Retirement plan funding anticipates that, over the long term, both contributions and net investment earnings (less investment fees and administrative expenses) will be needed to cover benefit payments. Retirement plan assets change as a result of the net impact of these income and expense components. Additional financial information, including a summary of these transactions for the valuation year, is presented in Section 3, Exhibits C, and D. The chart depicts the components of changes in the actuarial value of assets over the last two years. Note: The first bar represents increases in assets during each year while the second bar details the decreases. CHART 5 Comparison of Increases and Decreases in the Actuarial Value of Assets for Years Ended September 30, Benefits paid Net interest and dividends Net contributions $ Millions

13 SECTION 2: Valuation Results for the City of Jacksonville Disability Program However, the Board has approved an asset valuation method that uses market value. Under this valuation method, the full value of market fluctuation is recognized in a single year and, as a result, the asset value and the plan costs are relatively volatile. The Board has the option to adopt an asset "smoothing" method in the future should they decide the current method (using market value) is producing undesirable fluctuations. CHART 6 Determination of Actuarial Value of Assets 1. Actuarial value of assets = Market value of assets $9,594,000 4

14 SECTION 2: Valuation Results for the City of Jacksonville Disability Program The actuarial value (equal to the market value of assets) is a representation of the Plan's financial status. The actuarial asset value is significant because the Plan s liabilities are compared to these assets to determine what portion, if any, remains unfunded. Amortization of the unfunded actuarial accrued liability is an important element in determining the contribution requirement. This chart shows how the actuarial value of assets (equal to the market value of assets) has changed over the past four years. CHART 7 Actuarial Value of Assets (equal to Market Value of Assets) as of September 30, $ Millions

15 SECTION 2: Valuation Results for the City of Jacksonville Disability Program C. ACTUARIAL EXPERIENCE To calculate the required contribution, assumptions are made about future events that affect the amount and timing of benefits to be paid and assets to be accumulated. Each year actual experience is measured against the assumptions. If overall experience is more favorable than anticipated (an actuarial gain), the contribution requirement will decrease from the previous year. On the other hand, the contribution requirement will increase if overall actuarial experience is less favorable than expected (an actuarial loss). Taking account of experience gains or losses in one year without making a change in assumptions reflects the belief that the single year s experience was a short-term development and that, over the long term, experience will return to the original assumptions. For contribution requirements to remain stable, assumptions should approximate experience. If assumptions are changed, the contribution requirement is adjusted to take into account a change in experience anticipated for all future years. At present, the Disability Program s experience is primarily monitored in conjunction with the Defined Benefit sub plan of the City of Jacksonville General Employees Retirement Plan, which constitutes the majority of the membership of the Disability Program. As membership of the Defined Contribution sub plan and the number of participants in pay status under the Disability Program increases, it may become necessary to perform separate experience analysis for the Disability Program. 6

16 SECTION 2: Valuation Results for the City of Jacksonville Disability Program Because actuarial planning is long term, it is useful to see how the assumed investment rate of return has followed actual experience over time. The chart below shows the rate of return on an actuarial basis for the last four years.

17 SECTION 2: Valuation Results for the City of Jacksonville Disability Program D. RECOMMENDED CONTRIBUTION The amount of the annual employer contribution is established as 0.30% of payroll. The calculated employer normal cost is 0.08% of payroll. The remaining 0.22% of payroll will amortize the unfunded actuarial accrued liability over a period of years. This is a reasonable amortization period. The contribution requirements as of October 1, 2015 are based on all of the data described in the previous sections, the actuarial assumptions described in Section 4, and the Plan provisions adopted at the time of preparation of the Actuarial Valuation. They include all changes affecting future costs, adopted benefit changes, actuarial gains and losses and changes in the actuarial assumptions. The chart compares this valuation s recommended contribution with the prior valuation. CHART 9 Recommended Contribution Year Beginning October % of % of Amount Payroll Amount Payroll 1.

26 SECTION 3: Supplemental Information for the City of Jacksonville Disability Program EXHIBIT H Section 415 Limitations Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) specifies the maximum benefits that may be paid to an individual from a defined benefit plan and the maximum amounts that may be allocated each year to an individual s account in a defined contribution plan. A qualified pension plan may not pay benefits in excess of the Section 415 limits. The ultimate penalty for noncompliance is disqualification: active participants could be taxed on their vested benefits and the IRS may seek to tax the income earned on the plan s assets. In particular, Section 415(b) of the IRC limits the maximum annual benefit payable at the Normal Retirement Age to a dollar limit of $160,000 indexed for inflation. That limit is $210,000 for Normal Retirement Age for these purposes is age 62. These are the limits in simplified terms. They must be adjusted based on each participant s circumstances, for such things as age at retirement, form of benefits chosen and after tax contributions. Benefits in excess of the limits may be paid through a qualified governmental excess plan that meets the requirements of Section 415(m). Legal Counsel s review and interpretation of the law and regulations should be sought on any questions in this regard. 17

27 SECTION 3: Supplemental Information for the City of Jacksonville Disability Program EXHIBIT I Definitions of Pension Terms The following list defines certain technical terms for the convenience of the reader: Assumptions or Actuarial Assumptions: Normal Cost: Actuarial Accrued Liability For Actives: Actuarial Accrued Liability For Pensioners: Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability: The estimates on which the cost of the Plan is calculated including: (a) Investment return the rate of investment yield that the Plan will earn over the long-term future; (b) Mortality rates the death rates of employees and pensioners; life expectancy is based on these rates; (c) Retirement rates the rate or probability of retirement at a given age; (d) Withdrawal rates the rates at which employees of various ages are expected to leave employment for reasons other than death, disability, or retirement. The amount of contributions required to fund the benefit allocated to the current year of service. The value of all projected benefit payments for current members less the portion that will be paid by future normal costs. The single-sum value of lifetime benefits to existing pensioners. This sum takes account of life expectancies appropriate to the ages of the pensioners and the interest that the sum is expected to earn before it is entirely paid out in benefits. The extent to which the actuarial accrued liability of the Plan exceeds the assets of the Plan. There is a wide range of approaches to paying off the unfunded actuarial accrued liability, from meeting the interest accrual only to amortizing it over a specific period of time. 18

28 SECTION 3: Supplemental Information for the City of Jacksonville Disability Program Amortization of the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability: Payments made over a period of years equal in value to the Plan s unfunded actuarial accrued liability. Investment Return: The rate of earnings of the Plan from its investments, including interest, dividends and capital gain and loss adjustments, computed as a percentage of the average value of the fund. For actuarial purposes, the investment return often reflects a smoothing of the capital gains and losses to avoid significant swings in the value of assets from one year to the next. 19

35 SECTION 4: Reporting Information for the City of Jacksonville Disability Program EXHIBIT III Actuarial Assumptions and Actuarial Cost Method Rationale for Demographic and Noneconomic Assumptions: Mortality Rates: Pre-retirement: Healthy annuitants: Disabled annuitants: The information and analysis used in selecting each demographic assumption that has a significant effect on this actuarial valuation is shown in the Experience Study Report for the five-year period ended September 30, Experience data is reviewed in conjunction with valuations of the General Employees Retirement Plan, and updates to mortality and investment return have been made this year. Based on professional judgment, no additional assumption changes are warranted at this time. RP-2014 Employee Mortality Table, set forward four years for males and three years for females, projected generationally with Scale MP2015 RP-2014 Healthy Annuitant Mortality Table, set forward four years for males and three years for females, projected generationally with Scale MP2015 RP-2014 Disabled Retiree Mortality Table, set forward four years, projected generationally with Scale MP2015 RP-2014 Healthy Annuitant Mortality Table, set forward four years for males and three years for females, reasonably reflects the healthy annuitant mortality experience of the General Employees Retirement Plan as of the measurement date. The mortality table was then adjusted to future years using generational projection under Scale MP2015 to reflect future mortality improvement. RP-2014 Disabled Retiree Mortality table, set forward four years, reasonably reflects the disabled annuitant mortality experience of the General Employees Retirement Plan as of the measurement date. The mortality table was then adjusted to future years using generational projection under Scale MP2015 to reflect future mortality improvement. 26

Withdrawal** Service COJ Male Withdrawal*** COJ Female Withdrawal*** JEA Male Withdrawal JEA Female Withdrawal **All withdrawal rates are set to 0% after eligibility for retirement. ***COJ withdrawal rates above are increased by 5.00% for ages under 30 27

37 SECTION 4: Reporting Information for the City of Jacksonville Disability Program Retirement Rates: COJ JEA Age Rate (%)* Service Rate (%)** Under & Over *Above rates are increased by 20% for the year in which a participant attains 30 years of service (if age <55) and by 15 % for the year in which a participant attains 32 years of service. The rate is set to 50% for years of service 37 through 39 and to 100% after 40 years of service, regardless of age & Over 100 **The rate is set to 100% for ages with less than 20 years of service and age 70 or older, regardless of service. Unknown Data for Participants: Same as those exhibited by participants with similar known characteristics. If not specified, participants are assumed to be male. Percent Married: 65% for male participants and 50% for female participants Age of Spouse: Females three years younger than males Net Investment Return: 7.50% The net investment return assumption was chosen by the Retirement System s Board of Trustees, with input from the actuary. This assumption is a long-term estimate derived from historical data, current and recent market expectations, and professional judgment. As part of the analysis, a building block approach was used that reflects inflation expectations and anticipated risk premiums for each of the portfolio s asset classes, as well as the Plan s target asset allocation. 28

38 SECTION 4: Reporting Information for the City of Jacksonville Disability Program Salary Increases: Service Rate (%) Inflation Rate 2.75% Payroll Growth Rate: Administrative Expenses Actuarial Value of Assets: Actuarial Cost Method: 2.50% used for amortization of unfunded liability amounts, based on the requirement in the Florida Statutes that the assumption for this purpose may not exceed the average annual growth for the preceding ten years. The Fund s long-term payroll growth assumption is equal to the inflation assumption of 2.75%. Previous year s actual expenses. As no administrative expenses have been charged to the Disability Program in the past year, $0 for October 1, The actuarial value of assets is set equal to the market value of assets Entry Age Normal Actuarial Cost Method. Entry Age is the age at the time the participant commenced employment. Normal Cost and Actuarial Accrued Liability are calculated on an individual basis and are allocated by salary, with Normal Cost determined as if the current benefit accrual rate had always been in effect. Changes in Assumptions: The following assumption changes have been adopted since the October 1, 2012 actuarial valuation: a. Based on lower inflation expectations and continued expectations of lower real returns, the discount rate was lowered from 7.75% to 7.50%; b. Based on lower inflation expectations, the payroll growth rate assumption was lowered from 3.00% to 2.75%; c. As mandated by Part VII, Chapter (5)(a) of Florida Statutes, the payroll growth rate was lowered from 3.00% to 2.50%; 29

39 SECTION 4: Reporting Information for the City of Jacksonville Disability Program d.
