HomeMy WebLinkAbout09/16/2016AT OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER September 16, 2016 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager SUBJECT: General Information Notable Items  CalPERS has distributed their annual actuarial reports, which reflect the condition of our plans and unfunded liabilities as of June 30, 2015. These reports also provide the rates we must pay for Fiscal Year (FY) 2017-18 and estimated costs for FY 2018-19. Due to lower than expected return on investments, the City’s unfunded liabilities increased by about $54 million compared to the prior reporting period. As a result, this brings our total unfunded liabilities up to $348 million. The overall funding status has dropped from 73.7% down to 70.3%. Comparatively, last year CalPERS estimated our annual costs would increase by approximately $2.4 million in FY 2017-18 and $2.4 million in FY 2018-19. The most recent report now states our costs will increase by about $3.3 million in FY 2017-18 and an estimated $4.5 million in FY 2018-19. While CalPERS target earnings rate is 7.5%, the actual earnings was 2.4% in FY 2014-15; the estimated earnings is zero (0%) in FY 2015-2016. Please see the attachment for additional information.  As previously mentioned, we received numbers last week that show the adjusted quarterly sales tax received was -9.6% as compared to the same quarter last year.

MEMORANDUM TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager FROM: Nelson K. Smith, Finance Director DATE: September 16, 2016 SUBJECT: PERS Rates for 2017-18 and Updated Funding Status The City recently received its Annual Valuation Report from CalPERS, which includes employer rates for future years and also provides updated information regarding the funding status of the various City retirement plans as of the June 30, 2015 CalPERS actuarial valuation date. CalPERS has made another significant change this year in the way the actuarial reports are prepared as well as how the City will remit funds in the future. The most recent actuarial reports no longer provide full cost employer rates as a percentage of city payroll. CalPERS has decided to separate out the unfunded liability portion of the rates from the “normal cost” portion of the rates. The normal cost portion of the plan funding requirements will continue to be paid on a bi-weekly basis as a percentage of payroll costs. The unfunded liability portion of the plan funding requirements will now be billed annually as a flat dollar cost. The City will pay CalPERS on a monthly basis for the unfunded liability portion. The table below shows the employer unfunded liability costs we are currently paying for each plan, along with our new PERS costs for 2017-18. The CalPERS report also provides “projected costs” for each plan, estimating the future year employer expense for the 2018-19 fiscal year. Unfunded Liability Costs 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 (monthly payment plan) estimated projected Fire $ 2,972,687 $ 3,663,652 $ 4,623,430 Police $ 7,561,905 $ 8,815,778 $10,471,645 Miscellaneous $ 6,887,078 $ 8,289,188 $10,201,156 Total UL Cost – All Plans $17,421,670 $20,768,618 $25,296,231 As you can see the costs are scheduled to go up by $3,346,948 for the 2017-18 budget year, with additional cost increases of $4.5 million in FY 2018-19. These cost escalations are higher than estimated one year ago due to lower earnings on the CalPERS investment portfolio. The next table (below) shows the employer “normal cost” rates we are currently paying for each plan, along with our new PERS rates for 2017-18. The CalPERS report also provides “projected rates” for each plan, estimating the future year employer rates for the 2018-19 fiscal year. Rates 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 (as a % of payroll) Projected Fire 16.580 % 16.120 % 16.1 % Police 19.364 % 18.465 % 18.5 % Miscellaneous 9.186 % 9.122 % 9.1 % These costs are paid as a percent of payroll expenses on a bi-weekly basis and are in addition to the unfunded liability costs shown in the prior table (page 1). As you can see there are slight reductions in the normal cost component for each of the plans; especially the police plan. This can be associated with the lower costs of the statewide PEPRA benefit structure compared to the more robust City benefit structure (3%@50/3%@60). As more employees retire and get replaced with PEPRA plan employees, the normal cost component for the City will continue to go down. The fact remains that total cost to the City for funding retirement obligations (both normal cost plus unfunded costs) continues to go up by significant amounts each year. These cost increases may be offset to some extent by lower “normal cost” rates as more employees come under the reduced pension PEPRA rules, but the overall negative trend is clear for the next several years. Funding Status of the Plans In addition to the new employer rate data, the annual PERS report also provides us with updated funding status of the plans and unfunded liabilities of the plan. The prior year valuation reports showed the City’s unfunded liability for all plans combined at approximately $294 million. The most recent reports (valuation date of June 30, 2015) shows an increase in our unfunded liability of $54 million, bringing the City’s overall unfunded liability up to $348 million. The increase can be attributed to below average earnings on the PERS investments of 2.4% during the 2014-15 fiscal period, compared to the CalPERS target rate of 7.5%. CalPERS has also disclosed their earnings for 2015-16 came in at zero %, which is reflected in their estimated cost increases for Fiscal Year 2018-19. The overall funding status for the three City plans combined has dropped from 73.7% down to 70.3%. cc: Steven Teglia / Chris Huot - Assistant City Managers File name: nks:/s:/nelson/memo-PERS rates for 2017-18 and other info.doc Week of September 19_2016_Work Schedule Page 1 of 3 STREETS DIVISION – WORK SCHEDULE Week of September 19, 2016 – September 23, 2016 Resurfacing/Reconstructing streets in the following areas: Sealing streets in the area south of Brundage Ln between So. “H” St and Union Ave Maintenance Grind and Pave on Chester Ave between 24th St and 30th St Preparing Soranno Ave off of Akers Rd south of Ming Ave for reconstruction Reconstructing 21St St west of Oak St Reconstructing Westwind Dr between Truxtun Ave and 21St St Reconstructing 19th St west of Oak St Reconstructing streets in the area north of Panorama Ln and west of Fairfax Rd Miscellaneous Streets Division projects: Video inspection of City owned Sewer and Storm lines to evaluate condition of pipes Repairing damaged sewer line found during video inspection Miscellaneous concrete repairs throughout the City Concrete Repairs to various Bus Stops throughout City limits Asphalt work in the area of California Ave to Verde St from “A” St to Chester Ave (HUD Area) Installing storm and sewer lines at next phase of Mesa Marin Sports Complex Grading for sidewalk at Mesa Marin Sports Complex Working with the Railroad to repair both crossings on Ashe Rd south of White Ln NOTE: If raining, there will be no street sweeping service and all street cleaning personnel will be assigned to cleaning plugged drains and part circle culverts.
