City of Wilton Manors GE & Police Pension Board of Trustees Minutes -June 5. 2018 Page 4 of6
5. Variability of Future Contributions
• The actuarial value of assets (AVA) exceeds the market value (MV) as of October 1, 2017
by about $800k.
• If the MV had been used instead of the AVA the required city contributions would have
increased by about $37k .
•
6. Key Considerations
• The Plan was closed to new entrants June 12, 2007. At this point about 87% of the
accrued liability is for inactive members.
• The Current Funding Method is Entry Age Normal. Under this funding method the City is
making a long term commitment to continue funding the plan even after the last member retires.
7. Recommendations
• Steps have been taken to improve the funded position of the Plan such as lowering the
investment earnings assumption and gradually lowering the amortization period . We
recommend monitoring the investment return assumption.
Melissa said at some time we will have to lower the 7% assumption as more people retire.
Funded Ratio this year is 67.0% last year it was 64.9%
Melissa & Theora went over some of the other figures and requirements in the valuation with the Board .
There is one more report that needs to be prepared by the actuary and posted to the State Website
60 days after approval of the valuation , which is the 112.665 reporting requirement. Attorney Levinson
said a motion to approve the Valuation and for the actuary to prepare the 112.665 reporting was in order.
Acting Chair Bihus asked for a motion to accept the Valuation as presented . Trustee Balistreri made
the motion to accept/approve the Valuation as presented, seconded by Trustee Bihus.
Approved Unanimously
Acting Chair Bihus asked for a motion to approve the 112.665 reporting requirement that needs to

Approved Unanimously
