Distribution of Annual Actuarial Valuation of Members for Glendale Police Covered By the PSPRS The Board received a copy of the June 30, 2013 Annual Actuarial Valuation Report of Glendale Police covered by the PSPRS. The purpose of the valuation is to measure the funding progress of the plan and to establish contribution rates for the 2014-2015 fiscal year. Jim Brown was asked to comment on the Actuarial. Mr. Brown noted that the Actuarial information is provided to the Board to look through and to determine how the funds are performing for the PSPRS Retirement fund. Ultimately the area of most interest will be what the contribution rate would be for 2015. The total contribution rate determined by the actuarial is 30.67%. The breakdown of that for fiscal year 2014-2015 would be 11.05% for the contributing member with the organization picking up the additional percentage. Mr. Brown directed the Board to view Page F4 which lays out what the membership contributions will be even into the next fiscal year. He noted that as far as what the total contributions will be in the future, we will need to look at the Actuarial information for next year and figure out what the difference will be between 11.65% and what the organization would pay. All that information is in the packet for review and Mr. Brown advised that if there were any questions he will certainly endeavor to get answers. 1 Local Police Board Meeting 1/22/14 Review and Approval of Application for Enrollment into the Deferred Retirement Option Plan ("D.R.O.P.")—Willie A.
