City of South Miami Pension Plan Response to your letter. ofMarch 30, 2006 Dear Mr. Wilson: This firm represents the Board of Trustees of the City of South Miami Pension Plan. We have been requested by the administrator of the Plan to respond to the above referenced letter. In order to respond to your inquiries we reviewed the prior and current collective bargaining agreements for the three employee groups and the current plan. document. Our review of these documents concurred with your summary of the conflicting. provisions. We have discussed these items with the Human Resources Department of the city. They advised us that the multiplier numbers have been reconciled by side letter with the PBA and we have requested a copy of that letter. Based on this information we ovine_ that the prior collective baraainiri2 agreement contains the correct multinlip.r nPrr.Pntavpe fnr r,r,lir•P articlpants. Our review of the plan document found - presents som�cnrlflictG .with the current collective bargaining agreements. Section 16 -19 reads as follows.: Sec. 16 -19. Contributions. (a) Each participant shall contribute in each calendar year toward the cost of his pension an amount equal to three (3) percent of his earnings With the exception of police officers, no participant shall make any contributions toward Lawrence F. Wilson, A.S.A. Senior consultant and Actuary Gabriel Roeder Smith & Company July 13, 2006 Page 2 the cost of any past service pension to which he is. entitled under this plan. The employer shall contribute the balance' of the cost, actuarially determined, of providing the'benefits of the plan. The- city's contributions shall be deposited into the pension plan on at least a quarterly basis. Sworn police personnel, including bargaining unit employees, that are now members of the retirement system and any sworn personnel who join, the retirement system in the future shall, effective October 1, 1993, have their contribution increased from, three (3) percent to five (5) percent. Should the city's annual contribution be actuarially determined. to exceed twelve (12), both -the city and the employees will share equally the amount in excess of twelve (12) percent for thatfiscal year. Effective October 1, 1995, the pension. contribution for all general employees, including those employees that are now members of the retirement system, shall be increased from. three- (3) percent to_ ve (5) percent: Effective October 1, 2001,'sworn police officers shall contribute seven and one -had (7 5) percent of earnings. .0' the' total police contribution and city contribution exceeds seventeen (17) percent of covered police payroll for any fiscal year, the excess over seventeen (17) percent shall be divided in half and - shared equally by the city and police members, Police contributions shall be deposited in the pension plan immediately after each pay period Effective October 1, 2001, a minimum of twelve thousand four hundred ninety- eight dollars ($12,498.00) will be paid from the South Miami Police Officers Retirement Trust Fund 'to the city pension plan each year, regardless of the growth or diminution in future Chapter. 185 funds, in partial exchange for the X125 and out benefit improvement. This section was last amended by ordinance number 1761 dated 10/16/01, indicated as follows: (Ord No. 528, 12 -7 -65; Orel No. 1544, § 4, 9- 21 -93; Ord No. 1595, § 5, 11 -7- 95; Orel No. 1761, § 5, 10- 16 -01) Section 3d, Article 37 of the_..LF-SCME agreement _states_that-the,-employee_ contribution shall be 7% commencing the 1" year of the ggeemppj which is 10/1/04. Section 16 -19 above states that the employee contribution is 5 %. This is an obvious conflict, and we have asked the city to advise of the.correct percentage and if required to amend the ordinance. , The agreement further states that corm.' ncement of the second year It}II /OS) should the total actuarially determined contribution exceed 14% then the excess amount shall be shared eaually between the city and emplovees. However_ section Y r)T stPiTPq t at , ' t P , M o 9„T „O Lawrence F. Wilson, A.S.A. Senior consultant and Actuary Gabriel Roeder Smith &.Company July 13, 2006 Page 3 contribution be actuarially determined to exceed 12% then the sharing takes effect. , Again we . have requested 'the city to advise us of the coirect percentage and whether it is the city's contribution or the total contribution that must be exceeded. -The PBA eements contain similar IMEnge in Article 30 of the Lts. & Capts. Agreement and Article 33-of the PO and Sgts. Agreement, both of which a ess pension issues. These agreements cause the following concerns. Botha eements state that effective 10/1/01 em to ee contributions will be 7.5 %, which is consistent with section 16 -19. . However both gjUeements requ re at o e o contribution be actuarially determined to exc=d15% then the city and emlovee s s e equally the excess amount, while section 16- 19 states that should the total- police contribution and city contn`bution exceed 17% of covered police payroll for any fiscal year, the excess over 179/6 shall be divided in half and shared equally by the city and police member. Once again we have a conflict and have asked the city to advise us which percentage is correct. It is our opinion that the current collective bar airing agreement language should be �41 reflected in the ordinance. Therefore, based on our tmdirstanding o a e vie D _� are of the opinion that the multiplier percentages should remain as. stated in' the prior PBA etments and that employee contribution rates should be 7% for gen emp oyee p cxpan s and 7.5% for olice articipants. Further it is our o inion that the sharin of excess contributions should take effect when 'the total contribution exceeds 14% for general employee participants effective 10/1105 and 15% for police participants effective 10/1!01.

Upon review, we have identified som agreements and prior Ordinances. Police O icers 1. The current ' bargaining agreement defines the retirement benefit percentages -in Article 33 Retirement Benefits as follows: For Credited Service: Through September 30, 1993 October 1, 1993 through September 30, 1994 October 1, 1994 through September 30, 1995 October 1, 1995 through September 30, 1996 October 1, 1996 through September 30, 1997 Octol,tr 1, 1997 an"' thereafter . This is a reduced schedule from prior documentation. Percentage —1.60% 1.80% 1.90% 2.25% 2.50% cor The prior collective bargaining agreement provided to us signed July 23, 2002 provides for pension increases in Article 28 Compensation. Specifically, effective October 1, 2001 the future accrual rate is increased to 2.80 9/6, effective October 1, 2002 the future accrual rate is increased to 2.901/o and effective October 1, 2003, the minimum retro accrual rate is '2.0% and the future accrual rate is increased to 3.0 %. These increases are also included in the Summary Plan Description (SPD) dated June 2002. Ms. Haydee Lopez March 30, 2006 Page Two Based upon the above, the retirement benefit percentages in Article 33 Retirement Benefits should be: For Credited Service: Through September 3 0, 1995 October 1, 1995 through September 30, 1996 October 1, 1996 through September 30, 1997 October 1, 1997 through September 30, 2001 October 1, 2001 through September 30, 2002 October 1, 2002 through September 30, 2003 October 1, 2003 and thereafter 7 .

The current bargaining agreement states that Police Officers contribute 7.5% of pay however effective October 1, 2001, should the total contribution exceed -15.0°/x, both the City and Police Officers are to share equally the amount in excess of 15.0 %. Based upon Ordinance No. 30 -01 -1761 signed October 16, 2001, Police Officers contribute 7.5% of pay. Effective October 1, 2001, should the total contribution exceed 17.0°/x, both the City and Police Officers are to share equally the amount in excess of 17,0 %. We note that the prior collective bargaining agreement signed July 23, 2002 and the SPD dated June 2002 required the Police Officers and the City to share equally should the total contribution exceed 15.0% effective October 1, 2001. Based upon the above, we have been utilizing the 17.0% threshold. What should the threshold be for the October 1, 2005 Actuarial Valuation? General Employees Based upon the current collective bargaining agreement, the employee contribution is 7.0% however effective October 1, 2005, should the total contribution exceed 11.0 %, both the City and Employees are to share equally the amount in excess of 14.0 %. Based upon the SPD dated June 2002, the employee contribution was 7.0 %. However, should the City contribution exceed 12.0 %, both the City and Employees were to share equally the amount in excess of 12:0°/x. We understand that it was not the intent of the collective bargaining in place at the time for the employees to contribute more than 7.0% regardless of the City contribution amount. Ms. Haydee Lopez March 30, 2006 Page Three Please confirm that the intent is that the City and General Employees should share equally in the amount in excess of 14.0% for purposes of the October 1, 2005 Actuarial Valuation. .
