1:33 am
planters is overwhelmed when they looked at the target fund and the brokerage city is one the goal so really simplify the roster for the average participants that research has shown they go into paralyze and if they're two conservative they're not happy with the donation but to simplify the line up low participation and the low funds has experienced personnel changes and put them under watch and performance is similar to that fund it allows us to eliminate funds that are

1:38 am
>> jen even though the services corridor it's been a long multi process and research project called for back in 2006, the research report was viewed and the engross draft and issued in june of 2012 we've got ann harper here to present this to the board and also have phil on the phone in washington, d.c. testifying to the academy i'd like to mentioned that bill was on the implementation committee for the gadz be standards and great reach for the board.
1:39 am
>> bill can you hear us? >> that's a no. >> (laughter). >> bill try speaking. >> hi can you hear me. >> yes. >> some of us can. >> okay. so we're here to provide an overview of our report and answer questions you may have we have a slightly different format but briefing summarize the report and what it is used for and explain how it is comparing. >> this report is used four only accounting purposes there's a complete diversion from 9 and it reports the information for the gadz by financial statements
1:40 am
all the schedules and notes to the disclosures and the information that needs to be provide by our automatic where are and included schedules for gadz by the 68 the standards informative the city's financial statements so the first reporting diet for the retirement system under the new gadz by standard is june 30th, 2014, whereas for the city they're not required to implement until june 30th, 2015, so the city then has a choice to whether or not use november i'm sorry 2018 or 2015 as their masturbating so the gadz but if clicked in the report if the city elected to have a june 2015 date tha there's one report for
1:41 am
that purchase i've talked about that between the funding and now i'm going to give highlights to the changes and difference in the old gadz by and new gadz by and how they differ first item is really all different terminology under gadz by so you're used to hearing actually accrue ability under gadz by those have been replaced with new terms and total pension liability the net pension liability is the u a l or unfunded address call the fiduciary net position so it's just a terminology change and some of the calculations are a little bit different you have to get used to a new set of verbiage so starting with the total
1:42 am
pension liability when is the accrued liquidate in gadz by criteria is that the systems that have something like your supplemental this differs from the liability we don't include the explicit colonel la for when do recognize a colonel la when their granted we advertise that over 5 years a little bit different of colonel la issue and the pension lobbied you see in the report the june 20th o 30th 2014 the liability from the june 30th information data we
1:43 am
use 2014 data there a little bit different in the timing of the liability that is calculated the net pension liability or the unfunded under gadz by is calculated for all systems needed to use the value of market assets there's no longer the term actual value of assets what talking about gadz by they've thrown that term out and everything is recorded on a value basis that gives me more uniformity another big difference is the annual pension expense that the city is to report on their financial statement and the city the expense is no longer their contribution that was made to the plan for that year there's an independent
1:44 am
calculation and independent of funding that's also the reason why we're giving you a completely separate report for accounting so it's divorced from the funding expense under the new system is more volatile it was the acceptance of the employer contribution and in some years it will be close to the actually contribution and other years far away the main reason for the volatility is because of the timing of what you recognize the losses so some changes are changes in benefits and combadz by says you have to have a faster recommendation for the pieces and investigative losses to recognize the funding
1:45 am
policies calls for 20 years we're www.roanokecountyva.gov the dates you're going to see that apprehension spent be more up and down with the market and especially, since we're volley ball things on a market basis as well pension expense for 2014 is viewed lower than the contribution it was made and the expectation we're showing in the report was one hundred versus the actual contribution of $533 million the difference is mostly due to the good investment return for june 30th in 2014 which was about 17 percent so at this time i ask answer specific questions about the reports or a couple of exhibits i could show you the schedules
1:46 am
to after overview with figures and stuff to our questions. >> opportunity to look at our full report and the exhibits so that's i'll open up for public comment on item 12. >> seeing none, i'll close public comment and i'll open it up for questions by the excision commissioner driscal. >> i'll mark you may have answered the questions i want to clarify another set of schedules we want to push and schedules is different from what the city does the san francisco control that briefed on this great
1:47 am
they've been briefed okay their decision is there a schedule? those schedules and disclosure of more information i noted the discount rate from 7.8 to 7.2 i'm not sure how that occurred those changes will not trigger a change in the contribution rate because i'm asking the cash flow question >> it has not effect on the flow. >> so the difference of the amortization is a good disclosure by doesn't effect the city. >> no. >> with the controllers help do the bond agencies; right you have to explain a myriad of changes we've not had to explain this in particular because we've not been a resort and most
1:48 am
public plans were not recorded i'd like to take you back to who we first started talking about the gadz by respirates requirements that was a test you can use our assumed return and we want you to project how far anti your money will take you in paying benefits and any part of that stream of benefits for every employee at a give point in time that's not payable you'll have to use the municipal bond rate in that he 2012 we are that at an assumed point of return we were 6 points apart the city said they have no interest in getting the investment return fin tuned we
1:49 am
were evangelist this given year this has nothing to do with how i fund a pension but and you report is part of the reason 7.258 in 2013 we closed the funding policy on the on the u a l and the gains and losses and changes that helped to get the interest rate to be higher as the funding rate. >> this is an excellent question the bond rating agencies will be pleased we didn't have a shortfall that required us to have used an assumption less outstanding our assumed rate so those are
1:50 am
excellence results for this year i'm glad we're pursuing this you've brought up the supplemental colonel la my question is the spill cola a prospective base or a illuminate about the supplemental cola. >> it's not a utility on a contingency base they're going to eastern the expected return no cola in the future in reality we know the markets don't have that rate so we will go be paying a supplemental cola that's an assignments so we we grant the supplemental cola that benefit that liability is a loss to the plan it gets amortized over 5 years we're recognizing
1:51 am
elsewhere supplemental colas as they happen. >> under gadsby by you have to value the plan so the utility is removing the second hurdle anothers value but it is volley ball as written in the charter and some should be overturned by a court of law. >> this is referring to all cola plans with the feature. >> i want to i understand eir regardless of the latitude an attractive pay bank but if we get to the one hundred percent pay out that requires a lot of for thought are we're going to wait until itors we talked about funding page 4 as the cola
1:52 am
assumptions based on one hundred percent funding level and 2015 the zero is 2020 and that's the assumption. >> all the assumptions are calculating the gadsby by liability so in our funding evaluations we're assuming zero. >> right. right and so something we can going forward. >> okay. so again it's a large group if it's combined with the basic cola group i'll stop with that. >> commissioner. >> i want to expand an commissioner driscal page 4 the probability so 2020.25 percent so the liability in cola.
1:53 am
>> this isn't the probability but the toll amount that will be paid. >> and actually, i should correct it page 6 is the 2014 assumptions and page 4 were the 2013 so again in 2015 there would be zero and 2020 this would be the basis point costs of colas going forward. >> there's no probability per say. >> that's it there's a probability but we take the probability and multiple it by the 1.5 percent the amount of supplemental cola for the majority of plan members most people get a certain amount so the probability multiples 1.5 percent. >> how would you do the
1:54 am
probability. >> do the reserve math. >> okay. thank you. >> questions seeing none, chair will entertain a motion to accept the report. >> so moved. >> is there a second. >> second. >> decision seeing none, all in favor, say i. it passes unanimously thank you would you, please call item 15 >> item 15 discussion item and review of the campaign and this is - and under the san francisco campaign and conduct code offers of the 710 north are to file the statements of economic interests and leaving the office forms as

1:59 am
where we're going it will be multiple folks for each the consulting. >> and in their case if they have one employer they'll have one entry angela. >> actually, two ann harper and leslie couch individually filing the 7 hundreds representing their relationships with the board. >> i'm trying to understand are we are going we're going to receive one number from them are we seeing every client and portion of their salary how do that work. >> the filing of the individuals they'll have to dloe the same level 0 as commissioners i'm not familiar with the number they'll have to
