The potential to reduce the City's annual TCRS contribution by almost half will save us literally millions of dollars. The process to complete the transfer started more than three years ago and was truly a team effort. I want to recognize those that have assisted in getting this done. First, thanks to the previous City Manager, Mike Davidson for determining that there was an issue. Thanks to the Depaftment of the Treasury for acknowledging that there was an issue and for providing us with a path to correct it. I very much appreciate CRMC CEO Paul Korth for working with us from staft to finish. I want to stress that the Medical Center had no knowledge that the City was making TCRS contributions for hospital employees. Once he was made aware, Mr. Korth agreed completely that this was something that needed to be fixed. Thanks to our attorneys Dan and Danny Rader. We have sought their Council many times during this process. I particularly want to thank them for assisting us in drafting the required legislation to amend the state statutes so we could complete the transfer. Also, thanks to Representative Ryan Williams and Senator Paul Bailey for shepherding the legislation through the General Assembly. Special thanks to Finance Director Brenda Imel for her advice and assistance. Finally, thanks to the CRMC Board of Trustees for agreeing to complete the transfer, City Attorney Dan Rader requested that the following be entered into the record: Mr. Mills picked up the ball from former City Manager Mike Davidson and ran with it full speed ahead. If he had not taken the initiative by putting on the finishing touches and keeping the process on track, we would not be where we are today. This is going to have a significant financial impact on the future of the City.

This transfer pertains to TCRS assets and liabilities associated with plan members that are currently included in the City's actuarial valuation but were part of the Hospital prior to the Hospital becoming a separate entity within TCRS. We have calculated the effect this transfer would have on the Actuarially Determined Contribution (ADC) rates for the City and the Hospital. This letter provides a summary of the background and assumptions and then presents the results under three different scenarios. Background and Assumptions During the plan year ending June 30, 2000, the Hospital became a separate entity within TCRS. Prior to that time, the Hospital employees participated in the City's plan within TCRS. The City currently retains the TCRS assets and liabilities related to the prior years of service that Hospital employees earned while participating in the City's plan. Out of the total headcount of 1,,594 members in the City's plan as of June 30,2O2O,753 were identified as current or former employees of the Hospital based on data records provided by TCRS and the City Below is a breakdown of the results as of June 30,2O2O: Total Accrued Headcount Liability Hospital Records (based on files from TCRS and the City) 753 $45,739,985 Other Emplovee Records 841" LO7.526.840 Total for City of Cookeville !,594 $153,266,825 We have not audited the data records provided by TCRS and the City for identifying the Hospital records. Obviously, any changes in this data could significantly affect the results shown in this letter. 53Ol Vlrgtnts w.y, $ulto 4OO . Brentwood. TN 3?027' wsw-findlsy.cofli James Mills June L4,2021- Page Two of $45,739,985 related Based on the information above, our analysis assumes that the entire Accrued Liability "Normal Cost" (cost of to the Hospital records is transferred from the City to the Hospital along with any future benefits growing due to future salary increases). The next determination is the amount of assets that are assumed to be transferred from the City to the Hospital. Since the City and Hospital were both contributing to the City's plan prior to June 30, 2000, a portion of the $45.7 million Accrued Liability above was alreadyfunded by contributions made bythe Hospital during Hospital have not been tracked thetime period the service was beingearned. These contributions made bythe benefit separately within TCRS (which would also have required the separate tracking of Hospital-related payments and investment earnings since June 30, 2OOO), so a method of estimating the appropriate asset as described in transfer must be used. We have included results underthree different asset transfer amounts the three scenarios below. Other estimation methods could also be considered' actuarial valuation The contribution rates and results contained in this letter are based on the June 30,2O2O to June (the most recent valuation available for TCRS), but we have rolled forward the asset transfer amounts gO,2121,to provide a more accurate estimate of the current transfer amount. This roll forward adjustment 2O2O Io reflects the estimated investment and transaction experience over the period from June 30, provided by TCRS based June 30, 2O2L as provided by TCRS. The estimated investment return of 21-99% was return or loss assumed on actual investment performance through May 7, 2O21with no further investment methodology will vary from after that date. While the results as of a different date or under different estimation the results provided within this letter, we believe the estimates in this letter provide a reasonable basisfor analyzing the potential effect of the transfer. scenario 1 - No ffiset for city contributions (Asset Transfer = $45,567'269) value of assets and the The City's entire ptan was 88.73% funded as of June 30,2O2O (based on the actuarial records within Accrued Liability). For this scenario, we have assumed that the Accrued Liability for the Hospital the the City's plan is also 88.73% funded as of June 30,2O2O with no further adjustments to reflect contributions made by the City on behalf of the Hospital from June 30, 2OOO to June 30, 2020' Effect on ADC Rate (ADC) rates for this As of the June 30, 2O20 valuation, the effect on the Actuarially Determined Contribution scenario is shown below: ADC Rate Prior ADC Rate After to Transfer Transfer Change 21-.55o/o L 18.35% (3.2O%) City Plan Hospital Plan 3.05% 6.53o/o 3.48% James Mills June 1,4,2O2t Page Three Amount of Asset Transfer For this scenario, we estimate the City would transfer $45,567,269 (on a market value of assets basis) to the Hospital as of June 30,2021-as shown below: l-.

The actual history of contributlons made by the City on behalf of the Hospital is not available, but we have an estimated history that TCRS provided. One of the key assumptions used in this estimated history is that the percentage of the Accrued Liability attributed to the Hospital records was assumed to always be equal to the current June 30, 2020 percentage. That is, the Hospital records were assumed to always represent 29.84o/o of Ihe City's Accrued Liability (29.84% = $45,739,985 / $153,266,825 from the Background section of this letteO' Effect on ADC Rate As of the June 30, 2O2O valuation, the effect on the Actuarially Determined Contribution (ADC) rates for this scenario is shown below: ADC Rate Prior ADC RatE AftEr to Transfer Transfer Change City Plan 2t.55o/o L 1"4.!lo/o (7.44Vo) Hospital Plan 3.05% 1"L.t4% 8.O9% James Mills June L4,2O2L Page Four Amount of Asset Transfer For this scenario, we estimate the City would transfer $35,178,069 (on a market value of assets basis) to the Hospital as of June 30,2O2t as shown below: 1.
