Re: Proposed Ordinance No.2011-004
Dear Cathy:
We have reviewed this proposed ordinance to determine whether its passage would have any actuarial impact
on the Police and Firefighters Pension Plan. The Plan provides that upon entry into the DROP the member
contributions to the Plan,including those picked up by the City, shall cease and instead of being paid to the
Plan, such contributions shall be paid to the member. The amendment would eliminate the contributions to the
member after entry into the DROP.
It is our opinion that this ordinance would have no actuarial impact on the Plan. There would be no change in
the amount of benefits paid or in the amount of revenue to the Plan.
While the ordinance would have no actuarial impact,it is still necessary for a copy of this letter and the
proposed ordinance to be sent to the Division of Retirement before second reading of the ordinance.
We welcome your questions and comments.
Sincerely yours,
J. Stephen Palmquist,ASA
Senior Consultant and Actuary
