M. Howard DATE: January 20, 1976 As t:he Council wi11 recall, Dr. Iloward, in a letter dated June 26, 1975, set forth a basis for charges for actuarial services with regard to the pension plan for employees of the City of Clermont for the next two years. (See attached letter from Dr. Howard). Thi,t matter was considered by the Council on July 27, 1975 and referred to the City Manager and Controller for study. On September 18, 1975 the Controller and I met with Dr. Howard to discuss his proposal. There arc many factors involved in determining actuarial service and the factors and service vary from city to city. The City of Clermont has three separate pension funds - Fire, Police and General Employees. In performing an actuarial evaluation for these funds, some of the factors that must be considered include: 1. The total number of employees - 2. The age and length of service of each employee. 3. The classification of each employee 4. Termination and retirement of employees 5. Employees under thirty years of age and less than three years of service" 6. The salaries of the employees and increases during the year 7. Service retirement benefits S. Disability retirement benefits 9. Survivor benefits 10. Maintain a valuation based on investment funds yielding 5% All of these functions must be considered for each employee in order to determine the contribution the city must make in order to maintain the fund. i Dr. Howard has proposed the following fee for the three funds: 1975-76 $625 1976-77 750 Thereafter Refer to schedule Above fee plus travel expenses We contacted a number of other cities regarding their costs, but it was impossible to draw any conclusions regarding comparisons due to the number of factors. Darla 2 City CouncII Dr. Howard has been a professor at the linivorsity of Florida for tiro past twenty years in tilt, College of Business Administration. Ila has been an actuarial consultant to various Florida cities for the past sixtaan years. At present Dr. Howard performs actuarial services for fifteen cities. Ho has also been a consultant to Hercules Chemical Company for seventeen years, Dr. Iloward has been a consultant to Clermont for the past fifteen Years and as such is very familiar with the city's program. The rate for 75-76 is $625.00. This fee is considered to be reasonable based on the value of and need for the service. Dr. Howard is very qualified in this field and the solvoncy of our plan is due in largo part to his expertise. Therefore, it is recommended that the city approve Dr. Howard's proposal for continued service. �RM.All)- ins Attachment cc: City Clerk w/attachment Agenda 1/27/76 Finance Director w/attachment WILLIAM M, HOWARD, PH,D, unwcaarrr u,an.m BA Rll:avll.lI, 14 1111Mn +P-0A +June 26, 10/5 RECEIVED J U N 2 7 1975 lir.

Hopkins, City Manager City of Clermont Clermont, FL 32711 Dear Mr. Hopkins: The purpose of this letter is to set forth a basis for charges for actuarial services with regard to the pension plan for employees of the City of Clermont for the next two years. For the past year or two we have not had a formal basis for determining charges. Changing price levels and other factors have led me to review a number of aspects of the actuarial services which I provide for a number of Florida cities. I have found that my charges have gotten rather seriously out of line -- on the low side -- for some cities, with the result that I am realizing a rather low return on the time I spend on consulting services. The time required for actuarial valuation of a pension plan depends on the number of employees, the number of classifications of employees included in the plan (fire, police and general), the complexity of pension plan benefits (service retirement benefits, disability retire- ment benefits, survivors benefits) and whether or not employee contri- butions are required. On the one hand, your pension plan is complicated by the separate reporting on firemen, policemen and general employees required by Chapters 175 and 185 of the Florida Statutes. On the other hand, the plan provides benefits which require relatively simple calcu- lations and it does not require employee contributions. 1, . A schedule of charges I have prepared produces an annual fee for actuarial services for the City of Clermont of $800'plus travel expense based on 45 employees. This is a rather significant increase over the $487 for which I recently sent you a statement. So I propose that, in addition to travel expense, the fee be increased to $625 for the 1975-76 fiscal year, $750 for the 1976-77 fiscal year and the schedule of charges to which I have referred thereafter. If the price level continues to increase as it has in the recent past, I may revise the schedule before the 1977-78 fiscal year. But I would expect the charge to be the same except for changes in the price level. page two Mr. Hopkins June :16, 1975 If you would like to consider having the plan valued biennially, rather than annually as in the past, with consulting services available continuously, I would be pleased to submit a proposal on that basis. The charge might be one-fourth to one-third less. There are advantages to annual valuation, particularly during periods of rising prices, but seine cities do have their pension plans valued biennially. The charges proposed cover essentially the same actuarial services I have provided in the past: annual actuarial valuation of the pension plan including a report on the results in a form which is useful to City officials and acceptable to the director of the Police and Fire Pension Trust Fund in Tallahassee; an annual visit to Clermont at a mutually convenient time to discuss various aspects of the plan and related matters with City officials; verification of calculated retirement benefits as employees retire; and the usual correspondence and telephone calls occasioned by the normal administration of the plan. The proposed charges do not cover special studies requiring additional calculations or additional written reports that may be requested. The arrangement may be canceled by either party with reasonable notice. Actuarial valuation of the plan is to be based on employee data to be provided by the City of Clermont and on financial data included in the report of the trustee of the plan or the City's annual audit report which includes figures on the assets of the plan. Consulting services provided by professors at the University of Florida are subject to approval by the Board of Regents. I would appreciate learning your opinion on the appropriateness of this proposal and would be glad to answer any questions you might have with regard to it. Sincerely, e, William 14.

A complex benefit structure is one that may include some combination of disability benefits, survivors tenefits, and other types of benefits. An extra charge of one hundred dollars is made if the plan requires con- tributions by employees. " Some municipal pension plans require separate accounting for pens on lia- bilities and costs on account of fire fighters, police officers, and gen- eral employees, though all are members of the same plan and are included in a single report on actuarial valuation. Some cities maintain separate pension plan for two or more groups of em- ployees, and separate reports on actuarial valuation are required for each. 5/ 15/75 TO: City Council FROM: City Manager SUBJECT: Appointment - Building Code Board of Appeals DATE: January 21, 1976 An additional appointment needs to be made to the Building Code Board of Appeals for a three year term.
