Re: Actuarial Impact Statement for the Delray Beach Police and Firefighters
Retirement System
Dear Sir and Madam:
Please review the enclosed ordinance which would provide a one-time increase in benefits for
those retired before September 30, 1993 and which would also raise the minimum monthly benefit
from .$400 to $500 for those who have at least ten years of service.
It is being proposed that this change in benef'~ would be funded from unrecognized investment
gains. In other words, the actuarial value of assets would be increased by an amount equal to the
present value of benefits attributable to the change. At September 30, 1998, the amount of
unrecognized investment gains was $11,864,387. The value of benefits attributable to the
proposed change is $313,088. Therefore, unrecognized gains would be reduced by $313,088
thereby increasing the actuarial value of assets by a like amount. ;The;;end ~esult:is that the '
change,inbenelitsWOuld ~have ~'effect'on the requiredemployeri~bution:' ~
Enclosed tables show the actuarial impact of this proposal. With the exception just noted, this
Statement has been prepared using the same member data, asset information, and actuarial
assumptions and methods as were used in the October 1, 1998 Actuarial Valuation Report.
