Re: 2005 Valuation Report
�I.
Dear Members of the Board:
mil As requested, we have performed an actuarial valuation of the City's Firefighters' Pension
Fund as of January 1, 2005. The major findings of the valuation are contained in this
report. This report reflects the benefit provisions in effect as of the valuation date.
In preparing this report, we relied, without audit, on information (some oral and some in
writing) supplied by the City. We would like to express our appreciation to the City's staff
who gave substantial assistance in supplying the data on which this report is based. This
information includes, but is not limited to, statutory provisions, employee data and financial
information. In our examination of these data, we have found them to be reasonably
consistent and comparable with data used for other purposes. Since the valuation results
41111
are dependent on the integrity of the data supplied, the results can be expected to differ if
the underlying data is incomplete or missing. If any of this information is inaccurate or
incomplete, our work may need to be revised.
On the basis of the foregoing, we hereby certify that, to the best of our knowledge and
belief, this report is complete and accurate and has been prepared in accordance with
generally recognized and accepted actuarial principles and practices which are consistent
with the principles prescribed by the Actuarial Standards Board (ASB) and the Code of
Professional Conduct and Qualification Standards for Public Statements of Actuarial
Opinion of the American Academy of Actuaries.
We further certify that all costs, liabilities, rates of interest, and other factors for the Fund
have been determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions and methods which are
individually reasonable (taking into account the experience of the Fund and reasonable
expectations); and which, in combination, offer our best estimate of anticipated experience
affecting the Fund. Nevertheless, the emerging costs will vary from those presented in this
report to the extent that actual experience differs from that projected by the actuarial
assumptions.

Actuarial computations presented in this report are for purposes of determining the
recommended funding amounts for the Fund. Actuarial computations under Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statements No. 25 and 27 are for purposes of fulfilling
financial accounting requirements. The computations prepared for these two purposes may
differ as disclosed in our report. The calculations in the enclosed report have been made
on a basis consistent with our understanding of the Fund's funding requirements and goals,
and of GASB Statements No. 25 and 27. Determinations for purposes other than meeting
these requirements may be significantly different from the results contained in this report.
Accordingly, additional determinations may be needed for other purposes.
This report has been prepared for the internal use of and is only to be relied upon by the
Fund and its auditors. No portion of this report may be disclosed to any other party without
Milliman's prior written consent. In the event such consent is given, the report must be
sos provided in its entirety, unless prior written consent from Milliman is obtained.
We are members of the American Academy of Actuaries and members of the Society of
Actuaries. Both meet the Qualification Standards of the American Academy of Actuaries to
render the actuarial opinion contained herein.
We respectfully submit the following report, and we look forward to discussing it with you.

Actuarial Valuation of
40 Firefighters' Pension Fund
City of Renton
January 1, 2005
SECTION 1
Scope of the Report
AIM
This report presents the results of an actuarial valuation of the City's Firefighters' Pension
Fund (FPF). Particular attention is given to the cost of providing the "excess benefit", a
benefit under FPF available to active members as of March 1, 1970. On that date, the
Washington Law Enforcement Officers' and Firefighters' System (LEOFF) was established.
Under the terms of governing law, active members of the City's FPF on that date are
entitled to payment from the FPF of the excess of benefits calculated under the FPF law
over those calculated under the LEOFF law. The City's FPF also pays the entire pensions
of those members retired prior to March 1, 1970 and their survivors.
The employer costs given in the report are those that are the responsibility of the City. They
,., exclude those costs payable under the LEOFF system.
The following section of this report gives the conclusions and recommendations resulting
,,, from the valuation of the City's FPF. Section 3 gives a brief description of the implications
of the method employed in carrying out the valuation. It also contains a presentation of the
computations discussed in Section 2. Section 4 gives the disclosure required by the Fund
under Statement No. 25 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and
information for complying with Statement No. 27 for the employer's reporting purposes.
Section 5 shows the projected cash payments the City will be required to pay for its pension
obligations of the FPF.
40.
There are three appendices attached to the report. The actuarial assumptions used in the
valuation are summarized in Appendix A. Appendix B gives a summary of the benefit
AIN provisions of both FPF and LEOFF, as interpreted for the purposes of this study. Appendix C
contains tables showing the distribution of retirees with their monthly pension by age.

Actuarial Valuation of
Firefighters' Pension Fund
City of Renton
January 1, 2005
SECTION 2
Conclusions and Recommendations
The City's obligations under the Firefighters' Pension Fund are limited to the benefits
provided to firefighters retired prior to March 1, 1970, plus payments of excess retirement
benefits to active members as of that date. To meet these obligations, the City may
contribute annually to the Fund the amount raised by levying all or part of a tax of up to
$0.45 (only $0.225 of which can be in excess of the property tax limit pursuant to RCW
84.52.043) per$1,000 of true and fair market value, the maximum provided by law for
maintaining the Fund. Contributions also include donations and income from the state fire
insurance premium collection.
As of January 1, 2005, the actuarial present value of future excess pension benefits to be
provided by the City is $6,254,086. Note that this number is slightly smaller than previously
reported. This is due to a correction made during our review process.
Because the total assets of the Fund exceed the present value of future excess pension
benefits, no further contributions for pension benefits are recommended at this time.
By law, firefighters' medical and long-term care benefits may be paid either from the City's
general revenues or from its Firefighters' Pension Fund. Since the Fund is larger than the
value of the expected FPF pension benefits, a portion of the excess could be used to pay
these benefits. If medical and long-term care benefits or other nonpension expenses are to
be paid from the FPF, we recommend they be limited to $240,000 per year over the next 10
41" years.
As of January 1, 2003, the actuarial present value of excess pension benefits was
determined to be $6,472,000. Due to the passage of time, the expected value as of
January 1, 2005 based upon our 2003 valuation was $6,461,000. The total present value
was 3% lower than expected for reasons summarized in the following chart:
Reason Liability Increase(Decrease)
as a percentage
Demographic Experience 5%
Changes in Benefit Amounts compared to expectations _ -1%
Changes in Economic Assumptions -5%
Changes in Mortality Assumptions -2%
Total -3%
Since our last valuation, both the economic and demographic assumptions have changed.
The demographic assumptions were updated to reflect the latest experience study for the
Law Enforcement Officers' and Firefighters' Retirement System prepared by the Office of
the State Actuary and resulted in a 2% decrease in liabilities.

Based upon our discussion with Michael Wilson, we used a 5.50% assumption for the
investment return, a 4% assumption for wage growth, and a 3% assumption for inflation in
our January 1, 2005 valuation. We used 6%, 5%, and 4%, respectively for these three
assumptions in our January 1, 2003 valuation. The lower assumptions better reflect current
market conditions. As the above chart indicates, these changes resulted in a 5% decrease
in the liabilities because the investment return assumption was decreased by only 50 basis
A" points, while the other assumptions were decreased by 100 basis points.

Under LEOFF, the benefit is adjusted after retirement in proportion to the change in the
Consumer Price Index (CPI). Under FPF, most adjustments are based on the change in
.l salary for the active firefighters in the rank the members held at retirement. Wages have
nearly always increased more rapidly than prices. The pattern is illustrated by the following
table:

In addition to historical data, we reviewed current economic forecasts to find an economic
forecast with a time frame suited to our purposes. We looked at the expected increase in
the CPI used by the Office of the Chief Actuary for the Social Security Administration. In
the 2004 Trustees Report, the ultimate projected annual increase in the CPI under the
intermediate cost assumptions was 2.8%. The reasonable range was stated as 1.8% to
3.8%. The ultimate projected annual growth rate in the U.S. earnings was 3.9% for the
intermediate assumptions, with a range of 3.4% to 4.4%.
For this valuation, we assume wages increase 4.0% per year and CPI increases will be
3.0%, reflecting both historical data and economic forecasts. The actuarial assumptions are
monitored for reasonableness and periodic changes are made when appropriate.
,. Table 1 presents an analysis of the actuarial present value of future pension benefits to be
paid by the FPF. The entire pension benefit of members retiring before the establishment
of the LEOFF System is paid by the City. The City's actuarial accrued liability for members
retiring after establishment of LEOFF is only for excess pension benefits, which can be
substantial.
Table 2 develops the Fund's actuarial deficiency for pension benefits, which is zero.
As long as the Firefighters' Pension Fund provides for benefits to covered members, the
City will be eligible to receive a share of the State's distribution of the fire insurance
premium taxes. We have assumed the fire insurance premium taxes increase at the same
rate as prices, 3.0% per year. We have assumed only fire insurance premiums received
prior to January 1, 2015 are applied to fund the reserves for pension benefits. Premium
income received after that date are assumed to be used for other purposes, such as
payment of medical benefits.
aom All medical benefits are assumed to be paid as incurred from the City's general fund, and no
pre-funding of these obligations is required. The medical benefit obligations are not
included in the GASB disclosures reported in Section 4. GASB No. 26, "Financial Reporting
for Postemployment Healthcare Plans Administered by Defined Benefit Pension Plans",
permits the City to provide historical trend information about the funded status of these
benefits, but disclosure is not required. GASB Statement No. 45, "Accounting and Financial
Reporting by Employers for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions" will require
'm• additional disclosure in future years. The majority of obligations for active members are
paid under the City's insurance program. However, the City has the obligation to provide
these benefits, either through an insurance program or otherwise.

411 SECTION 3
Cost of Pension Benefits
Income from the Firefighters' Pension Fund comes from the following sources, as described
in R.C.W.41.16.050:
so
1. Bequests, fees, gifts, emoluments, or donations.
2. Forty-five percent of all monies received by the state from taxes on fire insurance
premiums, prior to January 1, 2000. Twenty-five percent after January 1, 2000.
so 3. Taxes paid pursuant to the provisions of R.C.W.41.16.060 (see below).
4. Interest on the investments of the Fund.
oaf
5. Contributions by firefighters as provided herein.
The provisions referred to in item (3) require that each municipality levy up to $0.45 (only
$0.225 of which can be in excess of the property tax limit pursuant to RCW 84.52.043) per
$1,000 of assessed valuation, based on reports by a qualified actuary, to maintain the Fund.
At the time that the Law Enforcement Officers' and Firefighters' (LEOFF) System was
installed, the state assumed the major portion of the obligation to provide future retirement
benefits for members still in active service at the date of the inception of LEOFF,
March 1, 1970. Each of the cities maintaining a Firefighters' Pension Fund (FPF) retained
the responsibility for all benefits payable to members (or to their survivors) who retired prior
to that date. In addition, each city retained the responsibility for a portion of the benefits
or payable to members who were active on that date. These members are entitled to benefits
under either the FPF formula or the LEOFF formula, whichever is greater. If the FPF
benefit is greater, the City's FPF must meet the cost of the excess of the FPF benefit over
the LEOFF benefit.
Upon the establishment of LEOFF, the total pension liability of each FPF was expected to
decrease rapidly from year to year because of the closed, diminishing nature of the group of
au retirees and survivors. However, the excess pension benefits paid by each city's FPF have
generally been much larger than anticipated. This is largely due to the way postretirement
adjustments to benefits are calculated.

Firefighters' Pension Fund
City of Renton
January 1, 2005
SECTION 4
Actuarial Information for Accounting Purposes
GASB reporting standards are required for defined benefit pension plans reporting and
disclosures (Statement No. 25). The City has adopted the reporting standards. The
requirements for Statement No. 25 include certain supplementary information to the
financial statements. These include:
(1) A Schedule of Funding Progress, and
(2) A Schedule of Employer Contributions.
The Schedule of Funding Progress compares the amount of Unfunded Actuarial Accrued
Liability (UAAL) from year to year, and measures the progress of the employer's
contributions in reducing this amount. The required Schedule of Employer Contributions
compares the employer contributions required based on the actuarial required contribution,
or ARC, with those employer contributions actually made.
GASB Statement No. 27 is required for pension accounting by state and local governmental
employers. The disclosures include the measurement of an Annual Pension Cost (APC).
For the Fund, the APC is equal to the employer's Annual Required Contributions (ARC), as
actuarially determined by the funding methods and assumptions for pension benefits used
for GASB purposes. If the City is required to make a contribution (APC) and does not make
„p,,, a contribution equal to the ARC, then a Net Pension Obligation (NPO) account would be
established and the APC would reflect adjustments made to the NPO account, as well as
the ARC.
As of December 31, 2004, the City has a negative NPO as a result of the City paying more
than its APC on a cumulative basis. This results in a net asset. It is our understanding that
this asset should be recorded in the government-wide statement of net assets.
For GASB purposes, the ARC must be calculated based on certain parameters required for
disclosure purposes. We have used the Entry Age Normal Cost Method, one of the
"i' acceptable actuarial funding methods under these parameters. Under this method the
projected benefits are allocated on a level basis as a percentage of salary over the earnings
of each individual between entry age and assumed exit age. The amount allocated to each
year is called the Normal Cost and the portion of the Actuarial Present Value of all benefits
not provided for by future Normal Cost payments is called the Actuarial Accrued Liability.
Since all members have already retired, the amount of the Normal Cost is zero. The
,g,, Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) is the Actuarial Accrued Liability minus the
actuarial value of the Fund's assets.

fgh0001.doc
rr 14 0003 FQH 10/14.003.FQH.10.2005.1 /DRW/KIS/nlo
For GASB reporting purposes, Table 3 presents the annual Normal Cost and the ARC as of
the valuation date, assuming the UAAL is amortized as a level dollar amount over a closed
30-year period beginning January 1, 2000 (note at January 1, 2000, the UAAL was
nr amortized over 30 years; at January 1, 2002, over 28 years, etc.). The estimated NPO at
the end of the period December 31, 2005 is based on an assumed employer contribution as
described in the footnote. Actual employer contributions will be different and the
determination of the NPO at the end of the year should be re-determined based on the
so
actual amounts received by the Fund.
The UAAL and the percentage funded by assets are shown in Table 4, the Schedule of
Funding Progress. Amounts shown in Table 5, the Schedule of Employer Contributions and
in Table 6, the Three-Year Trend information should also be updated to reflect actual
employer contributions, including amounts received from the fire insurance premiums.
AM
After the first year, the redetermination of the NPO for future years, as shown in Table 7,
Annual Development of Pension Cost will require the use of an amortization factor. We can
assist the City in this determination at the end of the year. Annual redeterminations of the
NPO are required by GASB No. 27, but only biennial actuarial valuations are needed to
determine the ARC.
