Subject to re -opener resolution being approved tonight, the City of South Miami and the
Florida State Lodge, Fraternal Order of Police, Inc., and the Dade County Police Benevolent
Association, Inc. (hereinafter "Unions"), have entered into new Collective Bargaining
Agreements ("Agreements"). The purpose and intention of the Agreements is to continue to
attempt to meet Florida's minimum benefit requirements pursuant to Fla. Stat. Ch. 185.
The South Miami Pension Plan does not currently provide all the required state minimum
benefits for Police officers (which includes sergeants, lieutenants and captains), required under
F.S. 99-1, to be funded by excess state contributions. The Police officers are desirous of obtaining
a portion of the remaining minimum benefits required under F.S. 99-1 for police officers under
the South Miami Pension Plan; and in order to receive the additional required minimum benefits
for Police officers each additional required minimum benefit has an additional cost (i.e. price tag).
Per the Agreements, the Unions and City of South Miami have agreed to use excess state
funds in the City of South Miami Police Officers' Retirement Trust Fund to purchase new
minimum normal and early retirement dates. The cost to purchase the new minimum benefit
for normal and early retirement dates shall be borne and funded solely by the City of South
Miami Police Officers' Retirement Trust Fund.
The annual cost to purchase the minimum benefit for the new normal retirement
eligibility date is estimated to be $52,117.00; and the annual cost to purchase the new
minimum benefit for the new early retirement eligibility date is estimated to be $4,433.00. An
actuarial impact statement will be prepared in accordance with state law which will set forth
the exact actuarial cost. The actual amount to be borne and funded solely by the City of South

Re: Minimum Required Benefits
Dear Edemir:
P:954.527.1616 j F:954.525.0083 1 www.grsconsulting.com
As requested, we have performed an Actuarial Study to determine the effect on the
minimum required annual contribution requirements (price tags) of the additional
remaining minimum benefits required under F.S. Chapter185 for Police Officers under the
South Miami Pension Plan (Plan).
Background -The Plan does not currently provide all the required state minimum benefits
to be funded by excess state contributions. Our Study identifies the benefits required and
includes the key financial results - price tags - for each additional minimum benefit.
Excess State funds are defined as monies received from the State that exceed the base
amounts (1997 generally paid in 1998) plus the cost of any improvements including minimum
benefits to be paid with the excess state contributions. Under our understanding of current
State interpretations, the payment under Chapter 185 is measured to determine the base
amount, and hence, to determine whether excess state funds are available.
The Chapter Fund has a reserve for unused State funds of $328,882 as of September 30,
2017. The source of this reserve is State payments in excess of the base amount plus
minimum benefits already purchased ($37,780 = $12,498 +$25,282). This reserve will
reduce the annual cost - price tags - of minimum benefits by $25,619.
Based upon the State payment received for fiscal 2018, future excess State payments
available to the fund are projected to equal $50,170 ($110,419 — $37,780 — $22,469). Thus,
the Police Officers have a projected $75,789 ($50,170 + $25,619) to apply towards the
annual cost - price tags - of minimum benefits.
Results -The attached Exhibit sets out the required minimum benefits as well as the
incremental annual costs for each, both as a dollar amount and as a percentage of projected
Police Officer payroll ($2,970,815).

Other Considerations - Please note we have prepared our Actuarial Study based upon our
understanding of F.S., 99-1.
In addition, adoption of one or more of the changes may not equal the sum of the price tags
due to any synergy among the benefits.
Under Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement Number 68, we
understand the cost of benefit changes must be recognized immediately in pension expense
(accounting not funding). Therefore, the pension expense would be expected to increase
the first year and then would be expected to return to lower levels in fiscal years following
initial recognition of any benefit change.
Actuarial Assumptions and Methods, Financial Data and Member Census Data - The
actuarial assumptions and methods, financial data and member census data employed for
purposes of our Study are the same actuarial assumptions and methods, financial data and
member census data used for the October 1, 2017 Actuarial Valuation with the following
exceptions:
➢ Normal Retirement —The probability of retirement forages 55 — 59 are assumed
to be 25% per annum.
➢ Service -Connected and Non -Service Connected Disability —75% of disabilities are
assumed to be service connected and 25% of disabilities are assumed to be non -
service connected.
This Actuarial Study is intended to describe the estimated future financial effects of the
proposed benefit changes on the Plan and is not intended as a recommendation in favor of
the change nor in opposition to the change.
These calculations are based upon assumptions regarding future events. However, the
Plan's long term costs will be determined by actual future events, which may differ
materially from the assumptions made.
If you have reason to believe the assumptions used are unreasonable, the Plan provisions
are incorrectly described or referenced, important Plan provisions relevant to this Actuarial
Study are not described or that conditions have changed since the calculations were made,
you should contact the undersigned prior to relying on information in this Actuarial Study. If
you have reason to believe that the information provided in this Actuarial Study is
inaccurate, or is in any way incomplete, or if you need further information in order to make
an informed decision on the subject matter of this report, please contact the undersigned
prior to making such decision.
Future actuarial measurements may differ significantly from the current measurements

presented in this report due to such factors as the following: plan experience differing from
that anticipated by the economic or demographic assumptions; changes in economic or
demographic assumptions; increases or decreases expected as part of the natural operation
of the methodology used for these measurements (such as the end of an amortization
period or additional cost or contribution requirements based on the plan's funded status);
and changes in plan provisions or applicable law. Due to the limited scope of the actuary's
assignment, the actuary did not perform an analysis of the potential range of such future
measurements.
This report should not be relied on for any purpose other than the purpose described in the
primary communication. Determinations of the financial results associated with the
benefits described in this report in a manner other than the intended purpose may produce
significantly different results.
This report has been prepared by actuaries who have substantial experience valuing public
employee retirement systems. To the best of our knowledge and belief the information
contained in this report is accurate and fairly presents the actuarial position of the South
Miami Pension Plan as of the valuation date. All calculations have been made in conformity
with generally accepted actuarial principles and practices, with the Actuarial Standards of
Practice issued by the Actuarial Standards Board and with applicable statutes.
The undersigned is independent of the Plan Sponsor.
The undersigned is a Member of the American Academy of Actuaries and meets the
Qualification Standards of the American Academy of Actuaries to render the actuarial

We look forward to discussing our findings with the interested parties and assisting in
implementation including preparation of the Actuarial Impact Statement for filing with the
State for any benefits adopted.

of ten (10) years of Credited Service or completion of twenty-five (25) years of
Credited Service.
➢ Early Retirement Eligibility —Attainment of age 50 and completion of fifteen (15)
years of Credited Service.
Proposed Ordinance —The proposed Ordinance provides:
Police Officers Only

of ten (10) years of Credited Service or completion of twenty-five (25) years of
Credited Service.
➢ Early Retirement Eligibility —Attainment of age 50 and completion often (10) years

Ms. Edemir K. Estrada

Cost —The total impact of the proposed Ordinance results in an expected increase in the
State Annual Required Contribution of $41,448. This increases the total State annual
required contribution due from $37,780 to $79,228.
Filing Requirements— We have prepared the Actuarial Impact Statement for filing with the
State of Florida. Please note that this Statement must be signed and dated on behalf of the
Board of Trustees. Copies of the Ordinance upon passage at first reading along with the
signed and dated Actuarial Impact Statement are generally required to be filed with the
State at the following address:
Mr. Douglas E. Beckendorf, A.S.A.
Bureau of Local Retirement Services
Division of Retirement
Building 8
Post Office Box 9000
Tallahassee, Florida 32315-9000
We understand the State requires funding any increases in costs no later than the fiscal
year next following the effective date of the Ordinance.
Please forward a copy of the Ordinance upon passage at second reading to update our files.
Actuarial assumptions and methods, Plan Provisions, financial data and member census
data —The actuarial assumptions and methods, financial data and member census data
employed for purposes of our Actuarial Impact Statement are the same actuarial
assumptions and methods, financial data and member census data utilized for the October
1, 2018 Actuarial Impact Statement dated October 24, 2019 with the following exception:
&RS
➢ The probability of normal retirement forages 55 — 59 for Police Officers are
assumed to be 25% per annum.
The Plan provisions employed for purposes of our Actuarial Impact Statement are the same
Plan provisions utilized in the October 1, 2018 Actuarial Impact Statement dated October
24, 2019 with the exception of the proposed changes described above.
Other Considerations— Under Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
Statement Number 68, we understand the full cost of benefit changes must be recognized
immediately in pension expense (accounting not funding).
Risk Assessment— Risk assessment may include scenario tests, sensitivity, or stress tests,
stochastic modeling and a comparison of the present value of benefits at low -risk discount
rates. We are prepared to perform such assessment to aid the City in the decision making

process. Please refer to the October 1, 2018 Actuarial Valuation Report dated May 8, 2019
for additional discussion regarding the risks associated with measuring the accrued lability
and the minimum funding payment.
This Actuarial Impact Statement is intended to describe the estimated future financial
effects of the proposed benefit changes on the Plan and is not intended as a
recommendation in favor of the benefit changes nor in opposition to the benefit changes.
If all actuarial assumptions are met and if all current and future minimum required
contributions are paid, Plan assets will be sufficient to pay all Plan benefits, future
contributions are expected to remain relatively stable as a percent of payroll and the funded
status is expected to improve. Plan minimum required contributions are determined in
compliance with the requirements of the Florida Protection of Public Employee Retirement
Benefits Act and Police Officers Retirement Chapter 185 with normal cost determined as a
level percent of covered payroll and a level percent amortization payment using an initial
amortization period of 25 years.
The Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) may not be appropriate for assessing the
sufficiency of Plan assets to meet the estimated cost of settling benefit obligations but may
be appropriate for assessing the need for or the amount of future contributions. The UAAL
would be different if it reflected the market value of assets rather than the smoothed value
of assets.
These calculations are based upon assumptions regarding future events. However, the
Plan's long term costs will be determined by actual future events, which may differ
materially from the assumptions made. These calculations are also based upon present and
proposed Plan provisions that are outlined or referenced in this Actuarial Impact Statement.
If you have reason to believe the assumptions used are unreasonable, the Plan provisions
are incorrectly described or referenced, important Plan provisions relevant to this Actuarial
Impact Statement are not described or that conditions have changed since the calculations
were made, you should contact the undersigned prior to relying on information in this
Actuarial Impact Statement.
If you have reason to believe that the information provided in this Actuarial Impact
Statement is inaccurate, or is in anyway incomplete, or if you need further information in
order to make an informed decision on the subject matter of this report, please contact the
undersigned prior to making such decision.

L. Cost Methods
Normal Retirement, Termination, Disability and Pre -Retirement Death Benefit:
Entry -Age -Actuarial Cost Method
Under this method the normal cost for each active employee is the amount which is calculated to be a level
percentage of pay that would be required annually from his date of hire to his retirement age to fund his estimated
benefits, assuming the Plan had always been in effect. The normal cost for the Plan is the sum of the individual
normal costs for all active employees. The actuarial accrued liability as of any valuation date for each active
employee or inactive employee who is eligible to receive benefits under the Plan is the excess of the actuarial
present value of estimated future benefits over the actuarial present value of current and future normal costs. The
unfunded actuarial accrued liability as of any valuation date is the excess of the actuarial accrued liability over the
smoothed value of assets of the Plan.
