Re: City of South Miami Pension Plan
Dear Haydee:
As requested by Kenneth R. Harrison, Sr., Esq., we have performed an actuarial review of
the attached proposed Ordinance.
Based upon our review, the proposed Ordinance:
1. Allows participants to authorize direct third party payments as a deduction from
benefit payments for certain purposes.
2. Provides for severability.
3. Provides for an effective date.
In our opinion, based upon the actuarial assumptions and methods to be employed in the
October 1, 2004 Actuarial Valuation, the proposed Ordinance is a no cost Ordinance under
State funding requirements.
We are available to respond to any questions concerning the above.
Sincerest regards,
. -
