The Honorable Board of Supervisors Administration Building 1221 Oak Street, Room 536 Oakland, CA 94612

RE: ADOPTION OF NEW RETIREMENT SYSTEM CONTRIBUTION RATES

Dear Board Members:

RECOMMENDATION

That the Board of Supervisors adjusts the employer and employee contribution rates as recommended by the Board of Retirement effective not later than 90 days following commencement of fiscal year 2010-11, per California Government Code section 31454.

SUMMARY

The Board of Retirement of the Alameda County Employees' Retirement Association (ACERA) is required by law to perform an actuarial valuation of the retirement system and establish appropriate assumptions and contribution rates to the system to ensure that all current and future liabilities can be paid.

The Board of Retirement retained The Segal Company, an actuarial consulting firm, to perform such a valuation. The results of the valuation were adopted by the Board of Retirement at its regu lar meeting on July 15, 201 O. The ag greg ate Employer rate will increase from 16.89% to 18.70% of payroll. The reasons for this change are: (a) lower than expected return on investments and (b) changes in the economic actuarial assumptions, primarily due to a reduction in the annual investment return assumption from 8.0% to 7.9%. These losses were partially offset by gains from: (a) lower than expected salary increases for active members and (b) lower than expected COLA increases for retired members. The detailed Employee, Employer, and District rates are set forth in the attached Charts.

The County of Alameda ("County") received a reimbursement of $5.3 million for the implicit retiree health care subsidy paid by the County for 2009. The $5.3 million together with the unused credit from prior years' transfer have been amortized over 23 years. Effective with the December 31, 2006 valuation, the employer rates for ACMC, Superior Court and First 5 are higher than the rates for the County to reflect that only the County received a reimbursement for the implicit retiree health care SUbsidy.

On an average rate basis, the combined General and Safety member employee contribution rates has increased from 8.57% of payroll to 8.74% of payroll, mainly due to the change in the economic actuarial assumptions.

The ratio of the valuation value of assets to liabilities decreased from 83.9% to 81.2% during the year, primarily as a result of the recognition of a portion of the investment losses through 2009 and changes in the economic actuarial assumptions. The total unrecognized investment losses as of December 31,2009 are $776.9 million (in the previous valuation, this amount was $1,522.4 million). These investment losses will be recognized in the determination of the actuarial value of assets for funding purposes in the next few years, and will offset any investment gains that may occurafterDecember31,2009.

Board of Supervisors Letter re Adoption of Contribution Rates

The December 31, 2009 Actuarial Va luation Report included the review of economic assumptions, which are inflation, investment return, merit and promotional salary increases, and terminal pay assumptions. As a result of this review, the ACERA Board reduced the net investment earnings assumption rate from 8.0% to 7.9%, and the annual inflation assumption from 3.75% to 3.50%. The across-the-board salary increase assumption was increased from 0.25% to 0.50%.

DISCUSSION/FINDINGS

Section 7504 of the Government Code requires that all state and local public retirement systems secure the services of an enrolled actuary and perform a complete valuation of the system at least once every th ree yea rs. Section 31611 of the Governmen! Code requires the Board of Retirement to recommend to the Board of Supervisors any appropriate changes in the rates of contributions of the employer or member.

Contribution levels are recommended by the Actuary and adopted by the Board of Retirement each year.

RESOLUTION TO ADOPT NEW RETIREMENT RATES

Section 31454 of the Government Code states: "The Board of Supervisors shall, not later than ninety days after the beginning of the immediately succeeding fiscal year, adjust the rates of interest, the rates of contributions of members, and county and district appropriations in accordance with the recommendation of the Board, but shall not fix them in amounts as to reduce the individual benefits provided in this chapter. ~ The Actuarial Valuation and Review Report was presented and discussed during a public meeting of the Board of Retirement held July 15, 2010.

The adjustment of the rates for fiscal year 2010-11 must, therefore, occur effective pay period 1019 ending September 4, 2010 for the pay date of September 17, 2010.

FINANCING

Employee contributions are deducted from the employees' salary and therefore, are not a direct charge against the County, except insofar as the salaries relate to a direct charge against the County Fund.

Employer contributions for County employees are an obligation of the County and, therefore, are a direct charge against the County Fund.

Very truly yours,

Catherine E. Walker Acting Chief Executive Officer
