City Manager James Mills made the following statement:
The action approved last night by the CRMC Board of Trustees
and today by the Council will have a significant long term
positive impact for the City. 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.

Re: Transfer of TCRS Assets and Liabilities from the City to the Cookeville Regional Medical Center
Dear James:
As requested, we have performed an actuarial analysis to assist the City of Cookeville (830.00) (the "City") and
the Cookeville Regional Medical Center (895.30) (the "Hospital) in their desire to transfer a portion of the TCRS
assets and liabilities from the City to the Hospital. 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.

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

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 2 - Offset City Contributions after June 30, 2000 (Asset Transfer = $35,178,069)
For this scenario, we have used the same methods as outlined in Scenario 1, except we have offset the asset
transfer to reflect the contributions made by the City on behalf of the Hospital after June 30, 2000. 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'

earnings on those contributions from the date the contributions were made up until the transfer date. The
investment earnings were calculated based on the historical rates of investment return provided by TCRS.
