FINANCIAL INFORMATION

PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW

1. Council adopted the Local Roads Safety Plan on August 7, 2024.

2. Council provided staff direction regarding submittal of the HSIP application.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), codified as Section 148 of Title 23, United States Code (23 U.S.C. §148) is one of the core federal-aid programs for funding transportation improvement projects. The purpose of the HSIP program is to achieve a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads, including non-State-owned public roads and roads on tribal land.

HSIP funds are eligible for work on any public road or publicly owned bicycle or pedestrian pathway or trail, or on tribal lands for general use of tribal members, that improves the safety for its users. There are twenty-eight project categories identified as eligible as listed under 23 U.S.C. §148(a)(4)(B). No funding priority is assigned to the list.

The California Local HSIP program may place further restrictions on the eligibility of individual project categories to meet the most critical needs on California local roadways. It is the intent of the HSIP program that the HSIP funds be expended on safety projects that can be designed and constructed expeditiously. Projects must not require the acquisition of significant rights of way (not more than 10% of the construction cost), nor must they require extensive environmental review and mitigation.

For a project to be eligible for HSIP funding, a specific safety problem must be identified, and the proposed countermeasure(s) must substantially address the condition. All proposed projects must lead to and complete the construction of safety improvements.

Staff identified Kern Street / 10th Avenue as a candidate HSIP project. Improvements that were considered at this location included one of the following countermeasures:
• Traffic Signal installation
• Roundabout/traffic circle
• Installation of safety devices such as LED enhance stop signs, safety lighting, warning signs, and enhanced visibility striping.

After determining that traffic signal warrants were not met, staff further analyzed the remaining countermeasures during the application process and determined that the countermeasure that provided the best benefit to cost ratio was installation of safety devices including Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons, realignment of 10th Avenue east of Kern Street, and intersection improvements including high visibility crosswalks, new ADA compliant ramps, updated striping, and application of a speed table/elevated pedestrian crossing. The application was submitted on September 9, 2024, based on this alternative.

Staff was notified on February 26, 2025, that $1,066,320 in HSIP funding has been allocated to the project. The project will likely be constructed in Summer of 2027.

3. For state funded HSIP projects, please note:
a. The funding allocation process for HSIP projects with state HSIP funding is different from projects in other programs such as ATP/STIP and SB1. The funding allocation for HSIP projects is processed through Caltrans DLA, not the CTC. b. The funding allocation request is Phase specific, i.e. Preliminary Engineering (PE), Right of Way (ROW) or Construction (CON).

For more guidance on implementing State-funded HSIP projects, please visit https://dot.ca.gov/programs/local-assistance/fed-and-state-programs/highwaysafety-improvement-program/state-funded-hsip.

4. The delivery of the HSIP Cycle 12 projects must meet the below milestones:
a. The PE phase (if applicable) must be allocated by 12/31/2025; b. The Construction (CON) phase must be allocated by 3/31/2028 (6 months may be added for projects with consultant for PE).

For HSIP project delivery requests and status of the projects, please visit https://dot.ca.gov/programs/local-assistance/fed-and-state-programs/highwaysafety-improvement-program/delivery-requirements-status-approved-projects.

5. It is the agency’s responsibility to review their project scope throughout the project delivery process and confirm that HSIP funding is used to fund the approved eligible scope as defined in your HSIP application. In case that any scope or cost change is needed, please contact your DLAE.

6. Prior to engaging in any Architectural and Engineering (A&E) contract procurement(s), agencies should reference Chapter 10 (Consultant Selection) of the Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM), located at https://dot.ca.gov/programs/localassistance/guidelines-and-procedures/local-assistance-procedures-manual-lapm.

If you have any questions about your project, please feel free to contact me at 559- 981-7312, or at [email protected].

Sincerely,
Colleen Vidinoff
District Local Assistance Engineer

PROPERTY TAX
 An ad valorem tax imposed on real property and tangible personal property  Maximum 1% rate (Article XIIIA) of assessed value, plus voter approved rates to fund debt
 Assessed value capped at 1975-76 base year plus CPI or 2%/year, whichever is less  Property that declines in value is reassessed to the lower market value.  Reassessed to current full value upon change in ownership (with certain exemptions)
 Allocation: shared among cities, counties and school districts according to state law.

PROPERTY TAX; IN LIEU OF VEHICLE

LICENSE FEES
 Californians have paid the vehicle license fee (VLF), also called the “motor vehicle in-lieu tax,” with their vehicle registrations since 1935. The California Constitution requires the proceeds of the 0.65% VLF to go to cities and counties only and prohibits the Legislature from directing that the funds be used to pay for new state mandates on local government after 2010.
 Prior to 2004, Vehicle License Fee (VLF) revenues were collected and allocated statewide among cities and counties (per capita for cities)
 Significant financial transactions were legislated in 2003-04 and 2004-05 in order for the State to cope with severe fiscal problems. There were three main components: the Sales Tax Triple Flip, Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) III, and the property tax swap of motor vehicle license fees (VLF).
 In essence, the VLF swap monies can be considered a subset of property taxes collected by the city.

WHERE YOUR

PROPERTY TAX
GOES

TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAXES (TOT)
 The Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) is a tax of 12% of the rent charged to transient guests in hotels/motels, including properties rented through home sharing services like Airbnb.
 The TOT is commonly known as a “bed tax”.
 Approved increase from 8% to 12% by Kingsburg voters (75.56%) November 4, 2008.

LICENSES AND FEES
Includes several regulatory collections made each year. - Business Licenses (regular and Business Improvement District) - Park Reservations
- Recreation Program Fees (Pool Programs, Rentals, etc.) - Planning and Zoning Fees (Site Plan Review, Conditional Uses) - Building Permit Fees (including plumbing, electric, PV, etc.) - Plan Check & Engineering Fees
- State mandated fee collection (construction demo, ADA, energy)

SUMMARY & OUTLOOK
 Most revenues trending in-line with projections (Measure E Sales Tax slightly down, Property taxes & Permit Fees trending higher)
 Fuel Sales remain a large portion of Bradley Burns revenues; projections over the next several years include reductions due to increased sales of EVs.  Property taxes showing steady increases over the past 5 years due to new housing, higher values when houses sold (less volatile revenue source).  Development-based permitting remains steady but is dependent upon economic activity (both residential and commercial).
 Economists expect consumer demand to remain subdued in 2025. Unknown impacts of possible tariffs, inflation and overall costs. Locally, biggest impact is how that may impact sales tax receipts.

Employer Contributions
Normal Cost
(% of Payroll)
 Normal Cost is percentage of salaries
 Designed to cover current employees cost of future retirement.  Unfunded Actuarial Liability (UAL)
 Market value of plan assets is less than the present value of accrued benefits (i.e. liability).

Total Contribution
UAL Amortization Payment
($ Amount)
Normal Costs (Payroll of Active Employees)
Employee Contributions (Normal Costs):

1. Implemented Pension Reform: All PEPRA Employees are required to pay 50% of their normal cost per law. For FY24, employee contribution rates increased 1% for MISC. and .75% for Public Safety (PEPRA employees only).

2. Police CLASSIC members are currently paying 12% of their contribution. This is the highest allowed amount without additional concessions through MOU negotiations. Safety Police normal cost per FY23 valuation is 32.05% of payroll, meaning employees pay ~37% of normal contribution rate (city pays

20.05% or 63%).

3. Fire CLASSIC members are currently paying 12% of their contribution. This is the highest allowed amount without additional concessions through future MOU negotiations. Safety Fire normal cost per FY23 valuation is 32.05% of payroll, meaning employees pay ~37% of normal contribution rate (city pays 20.05% or 63%).

4. Misc. CLASSIC members contribute ~7% of normal cost rate. MISC normal cost per FY23 valuation is ~18.87% of payroll; meaning employees pay ~37% of normal contribution rate (city pays 11.94% or 63%).
- These numbers have been shifting toward more contributions from the employer, the split had been closer to 40/60.

Unfunded Accrued Liability
UAL Annual Payment
o Calculated annually by CalPERS; difference between the accrued liability and asset values.
o Changes each year based upon actuarial factors
• Investment Return
• Mortality Rates
• Number of Retirees
o The primary drivers of UAL are increased life expectancy, investment loss, inflation, retroactive benefit design enhancements, and salary increases. o Mortgage balance with a moving target.
o Annual payments made in July of each year or monthly. Lump sum prepayment saves one month of interest (3.4%).
• Staff evaluated the possibility of making monthly payments and to keep higher balances in city investments (based upon current interest rate returns), and it still is most economical to make a lump sum payment.

5 YEAR PAYMENTS - UAL ONLY
For reference, the city’s FY17/18 payment was $428,028 in UAL payments. The FY25/26 payment of $866,241 represents a 102.38% increase in 8 years.

Council Policy of 70% of surplus funding to be allocated to the UAL Fund
CalPERS Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) Fund (70%)
• Fund will be used to help pay down existing pension
liability. Council can decide to use the fund to help
stabilize future budgets, provide additional payments to lower long-term liability, or to invest in a 115 Trust.

Employee Cost Sharing
• Safety employees pay 12% of their share (9% is normal cost)
• Offsets a portion of employer costs
• Provides internal equity between bargaining groups of overall contribution percentages (CLASSIC)
Prepay UAL in July each year (lump sum)
• ~$25k savings in FY25
• ~$29K savings in FY26
Steps to Address
Additional Discretionary Payments – similar to making an additional mortgage payment on your home
Made Additional Discretionary Payment (ADP) for UAL:
• $850,000 in Oct. 2019
• $750,000 in Dec. 2021
➢Payments made from UAL waterfall account.
➢Payment made to long-term plans (largest savings)
➢$1.6M total ADPs provides estimated interest savings totaling $1.8M (including payments) over the life of required payments.
16 Next Steps…
• Await Updated June 30, 2024, Actuarial Documents (Aug. 2025). Once finalized, fiscal year performance returns are used to set contribution levels for the State of California and school districts in the 2025-26 fiscal year and for contracting counties, cities, and special districts in the 2026-27 fiscal year. • Continue to monitor CalPERS returns.
• CalPERS FY 2023-24 estimated 9.3% total fund annual investment rate of return.
• Continue to examine and potentially utilize ADPs and fund savings to offset rising contributions to avoid alterations to existing services/staffing levels.

Miscellaneous Plan of the City of Kingsburg
CalPERS ID: 1210886769
Rate Plan belonging to the Miscellaneous Risk Pool Page 3 Introduction
This report presents the results of the June 30, 2023,actuarial valuation of the Miscellaneous Plan of the City of Kingsburg of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS). This actuarial valuation sets the minimum required contributions for fiscal year (FY) 2025-26.

Purpose of Section 1
This Section 1 report for the Miscellaneous Plan of the City of Kingsburg of CalPERS was prepared by the Actuarial Office using data as of June 30, 2023. The purpose of the valuation is to:
• Set forth the assets and accrued liabilities of this rate plan as of June 30, 2023; • Determine the minimum required employer contributions for this rate plan for FY July 1, 2025,through June 30, 2026; • Determine the required member contribution rate for FY July 1, 2025,through June 30, 2026, for employees subject to the California Public Employees' Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA); and • Provide actuarial information as of June 30, 2023, to the CalPERS Board of Administration (board) and other interested parties.

The pension funding information presented in this report should not be used in financi al reports subject to Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68 for a Cost Sharing Employer Defined Benefit Pension Plan. A separate accounting valuation report for such purposes is available on the CalPERS website (www.calpers.ca.gov).

The measurements shown in this actuarial valuation may not be applicable for other purposes. The agency should contact a CalPERS actuary before disseminating any portion of this report for any reason that is not explicitly described above.

Future actuarial measurements may differ significantly from the current measurements presented in this report due to such factors as the following: plan experience differing from that anticipated by the economic or demographic assumptions; changes in economic or demographic assumptions; changes in actuarial policies; changes in plan provisions or applicable law; and differences between the required contributions determined by the valuation and the actual contributions made by the agency.

Assessment and Disclosure of Risk
This report includes the following risk disclosures consistent with the guidance of Actuarial Standards of Practice No. 51 and recommended by the California Actuarial Advisory Panel (CAAP) in the Model Disclosure Elements document:
• A “Scenario Test,” projecting future results under different investment income returns. • A “Sensitivity Analysis,” showing the impact on current valuation results using alternative discount rates of 5.8% and

7.8%.
• A “Sensitivity Analysis,” showing the impact on current valuation results assuming rates of mortality are 10% lower or 10% higher than our current post-retirement mortality assumptions adopted in 2021. • Plan maturity measures indicating how sensitive a plan may be to the risks noted above.

Rate Plan belonging to the Miscellaneous Risk Pool Page 5 Changes Since the Prior Year’s Valuation
Benefits
The standard actuarial practice at CalPERS is to recognize mandated legislative benefit changes in the first annual valuation following the effective date of the legislation. For pooled rate plans, voluntary benefit changes by plan amendment are generally included in the first valuation with a valuation date on or after the effective date of the amendment.

Please refer to the Plan’s Major Benefit Options in this report and Appendix B of the Section 2 Report for a summary of the plan provisions used in this valuation.

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
There are no significant changes to the actuarial methods or assumptions for the June 30, 2023,actuarial valuation.

New Disclosure Items
In December 2021, the Actuarial Standards Board issued a revision of Actuarial Standard of Practice No. 4 (ASOP 4) requiring actuaries to disclose a low-default-risk obligation measure (LDROM) of the benefits earned. This information is shown in a new exhibit, Funded Status – Low-Default-Risk Basis.

Subsequent Events
This actuarial valuation report reflects fund investment return through June 30, 2023,as well as statutory changes, regulatory changes and board actions through January 2024.

During the time period between the valuation date and the publication of this report, inflation has been higher than the expected inflation of 2.3% per annum. Since inflation influences cost-of-living increases for retirees and beneficiaries and active member pay increases, higher inflation is likely to put at least some upward pressure on contribution requirements and downward pressure on the funded status in the June 30, 2024, valuation. The actual impact of higher inflation on future valuation results will depend on, among other factors, how long higher inflation persists.

The 2023 annual benefit limit under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 415(b) and annual compensation limits under IRC section 401(a)(17) and Government Code section 7522.10 were used for this valuation and are assumed to increase 2.3% per year based on the price inflation assumption. The actual 2024 limits, determined in October 2023, are not reflected.

On April 16, 2024, the board took action to modify the Funding Risk Mitigation Policy to remove the automatic change to the discount rate when the investment return exceeds various thresholds. Rather than an automatic change to the discount rate, a board discussion would be placed on the calendar. The 95th percentile return in the Future Investment Return Scenarios exhibit in this report has not been modified and still reflects the projected contribution requirements associated with a reduction i n the discount rate.

To the best of our knowledge, there have been no other subsequent events that could materially affect current or future certifications rendered in this report.

CalPERS Actuarial Valuation - June 30, 2023
Miscellaneous Plan of the City of Kingsburg
CalPERS ID: 1210886769
Rate Plan belonging to the Miscellaneous Risk Pool Page 7 Determination of Required Contributions
Contributions to fund the plan are determined by an actuarial valuation performed each year. The valuation employs complex calculations based on a set of actuarial assumptions and methods. See Appendix A in Section 2 for information on the assumptions and methods used in this valuation. The valuation incorporates all plan experience through the valuation date and sets required contributions for the fiscal year that begins two years after the valuation date.

Contribution Components
Two components comprise required contributions:
• Normal Cost—expressed as a percentage of pensionable payroll • Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) Contribution — expressed as a dollar amount Normal Costrepresents the value of benefits allocated to the upcoming year for active employees. If all plan experience exactly matched the actuarial assumptions, normal cost would be sufficient to fully fund all benefits. The employer and employees each pay a share of the normal cost with contributions payable as part of the regular payroll reporting process. The contribution rate for Classic members is set by statute based on benefit formula whereas for PEPRA members it is based on 50% of the total normal cost.

When plan experience differs from the actuarial assumptions, unfunded accrued liability (UAL) emerges. The new UAL may be positive or negative. If the total UAL is positive (i.e., accrued liability exceeds assets), the employer is required to make contributions to pay off the UAL over time. This is called the Unfunded Accrued Liability Contribution component. There is an option to prepay this amount during July of each fiscal year, otherwise it is paid monthly.

In measuring the UAL each year, plan experience is split by source. Common sources of UAL include investment experience different than expected, non-investment experience different than expected, assumption changes and benefit changes. Each source of UAL (positive or negative) forms a base that is amortized, or paid off, over a specified period of time in accordance with the CalPERS Actuarial Amortization Policy. The Unfunded Accrued Liability Contribution is the sum of the payments on all bases. See the Schedule of Amortization Bases section of this report for an inventory of existing bases and Appendix A in Section 2 for more information on the amortization policy.

All of the results presented in this Section 1 report, except those shown on this page, correspond to rate plan 1347. In many cases, employers have additional rate plans within the same risk pool. For cost analysis and budgeting it is useful to consid er contributions for these rate plans as a whole rather than individually. The estimated contribution amounts and rates for all of the employer’s rate plans in the Miscellaneous Risk Pool are shown below and assume that the total employer payroll within the Miscellaneous Risk Pool will grow according to the overall payroll growth assumption of 2.80% per year for three years. Classic members who are projected to terminate employment are assumed to be replaced by PEPRA members.

Allocation of Plan’s Share of Pool’s Experience
It is the policy of CalPERS to ensure equity within the risk pools by allocating the pool’s experience gains/losses and assum ption changes in a manner that treats each employer equitably and maintains benefit security for the members of the System while minimizing substantial variations in employer contributions. The pool’s experience gains/losses and impact of assumption/method changes is allocated to the plan as follows:

1. Plan’s Accrued Liability $12,833,612

2. Projected UAL Balance at 6/30/2023 2,983,421

Miscellaneous Plan of the City of Kingsburg
CalPERS ID: 1210886769
Rate Plan belonging to the Miscellaneous Risk Pool Page 12 Funded Status – Funding Policy Basis
The table below provides information on the current funded status of the plan under the funding policy. The funded status for this purpose is based on the market value of assets relative to the funding target produced by the entry age actuarial cost method and actuarial assumptions adopted by the board. The actuarial cost method allocates the total expected cost of a member’s projected benefit (Present Value of Benefits) to individual years of service (the Normal Cost). The value of the projected benefit that is not allocated to future service is referred to as the Accrued Liability and is the plan’s funding target on the valua tion date.

The Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) equals the funding target minus the assets. The UAL is an ab solute measure of funded status and can be viewed as employer debt. The funded ratio equals the assets divided by the funding target. The funded ratio is a relative measure of the funded status and allows for comparisons between plans of different sizes.

A funded ratio of 100% (UAL of $0) implies that the funding of the plan is on target and that future contributions equal to the normal cost of the active plan members will be sufficient to fully fund all retirement benefits if future experience matches the actuarial assumptions. A funded ratio of less than 100% (positive UAL) implies that in addition to normal costs, payments tow ard the UAL will be required. Plans with a funded ratio greater than 100% have a negative UAL (or surplus) but are required under current law to continue contributing the normal cost in most cases, preserving the surplus for future contingencies.

Calculations for the funding target reflect the expected long-term investment return of 6.8%. If it were known on the valuation date that future investment returns will average something greater/less than the expected return, calculated normal costs and accrued liabilities provided in this report would be less/greater than the results shown. Therefore, for example, if actual average future returns are less than the expected return, calculated normal costs and UAL contributions will not be sufficient to ful ly fund all retirement benefits. Under this scenario, required future normal cost contributions will need to increase from those provided in this report, and the plan will develop unfunded liabilities that will also add to required future contributions. For illustra tive purposes, funded statuses based on a 1% lower and higher average future investment return (discount rate) are as follows:

The Risk Analysis section of the report provides additional information regarding the sensitivity of valuation results to the expected investment return and other factors. Also provided in that section are measures of funded sta tus that are appropriate for assessing the sufficiency of plan assets to cover estimated termination liabilities.

Rate Plan belonging to the Miscellaneous Risk Pool Page 13 Additional Employer Contributions
The minimum required employer contribution towards the Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) for this rate plan for FY 2025-26 is $278,932. CalPERS allows agencies to make additional discretionary payments (ADPs) at any time. These optional payments serve to reduce the UAL and future required contributions and can result in significant long -term savings. Agencies can also use ADPs to stabilize annual contributions as a fixed dollar amount, percent of payroll or percent of revenue.

Provided below are select ADP options for consideration. Making such an ADP during FY 2025-26 does not require an ADP be made in any future year, nor does it change the remaining amortization period of any portion of unfunded liability. For information on permanent changes to amortization periods, see Amortization Schedule and Alternatives . Agencies considering making an ADP should contact CalPERS for additional information.

A payment made earlier or later in the fiscal year would have to be less or more than the amount show n to have the same effect on the UAL amortization.

The calculations above are based on the projected UAL as of June 30, 2025,as determined in the June 30, 2023, actuarial valuation. New unfunded liabilities can emerge in future years due to assumption or method changes, changes in plan provisions, and actuarial experience different than assumed. Making an ADP illustrated above for the indicated number of years will not result in a plan that is exactly 100% funded in the indicated number of years. Valuation results will vary from one year to the next and can diverge significantly from projections over a period of several years.

The table below shows the required and projected employer contributions (before cost sharing) for the next six fiscal years. The projection assumes that all actuarial assumptions will be realized and that no further changes to assumptions, contributions, benefits, or funding will occur during the projection period. In particular, the investment return beginning with FY 2023-24 is assumed to be 6.80% per year, net of investment and administrative expenses. Future contribution requirements may differ significantly from those shown below. The actual long-term cost of the plan will depend on the actual benefits and expenses paid and the actual investment experience of the fund.

UAL Payment $278,932 $302,000 $320,000 $363,000 $371,000 $378,000 For ongoing plans, investment gains and losses are amortized using a 5-year ramp up. For more information, please see Amortization of Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability in Appendix A of the Section 2 Report. This method phases in the impact of the change in UAL over a 5-year period in order to reduce employer cost volatility from year to year. As a result of this methodology, dramatic changes in the required employer contributions in any one year are less likely. However, required contributions can change gradually and significantly over the next five years. In years when there is a large investment loss, the relatively small amortization payments during the ramp up period could result in contributions that are less than interest on the UAL (i.e. negative amortization) while the contribution impact of the increase in the UAL is phased in.

For projected contributions under alternate investment return scenarios, please see the Future Investment Return Scenarios exhibit. Our online pension plan projection tool, Pension Outlook, is available in the Employers section of the CalPERS website.

Pension Outlook can help plan and budget pension costs under various scenarios.

CalPERS Actuarial Valuation - June 30, 2023
Miscellaneous Plan of the City of Kingsburg
CalPERS ID: 1210886769
Rate Plan belonging to the Miscellaneous Risk Pool Page 15 Schedule of Amortization Bases
Below is the schedule of the plan’s amortization bases. Note that there is a two-year lag between the valuation date and the start of the contribution year. • The assets, liabilities and funded status of the plan are measured as of the valuation date: June 30, 2023. • The required employer contributions determined by the valuation are for the fiscal year beginning two years after the valuation date: FY 2025-26.

This two-year lag is necessary due to the amount of time needed to extract and test the membership and financial data, and the need to provide public agencies with their required employer contribution well in advance of the start of the fiscal year.

The Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) is used to determine the employer contribution and therefore must be rolled forward two years from the valuation date to the first day of the fiscal year for which the contribution is being determined. The UAL is rolled forward each year by subtracting the expected payment on the UAL for the fiscal year and adjusting for interest. The expected payment on the UAL for FY 2023-24 is based on the actuarial valuation two years ago, adjusted for additional discretionary payments made on or before April 30, 2024, if necessary, and the expected payment for FY 2024-25 is based on the actuarial valuation one year ago.

Miscellaneous Plan of the City of Kingsburg
CalPERS ID: 1210886769
Rate Plan belonging to the Miscellaneous Risk Pool Page 17 Amortization Schedule and Alternatives
The amortization schedule on the previous page(s) shows the minimum contributions required according to the CalPERS amortization policy. Many agencies have expressed a desire for a more stable pattern of payments or have indicated interest in paying off the unfunded accrued liabilities more quickly than required. As such, we have provided alternative amortization schedules to help analyze the current amortization schedule and illustrate the potential savings of accelerating unfunded lia bility payments.

Shown on the following page are future year amortization payments based on 1) the current amortization schedule reflecting the individual bases and remaining periods shown on the previous page, and 2) alternative “fresh start” amortization schedules using two sample periods that would both result in interest savings relative to the current amortization schedule. To initiate a fresh start, please contact a CalPERS actuary.

The current amortization schedule typically contains both positive and negative bases. Positive bases result from plan changes, assumption changes, method changes or plan experience that increase unfunded liability. Negative bases result from plan changes, assumption changes, method changes, or plan experience that decrease unfunded liability. The combination of positive and negative bases within an amortization schedule can result in unusual or problematic circumstances in future year s, such as:
• When a negative payment would be required on a positive unfunded actuarial liability; or • When the payment would completely amortize the total unfunded liability in a very short time period, and results in a large change in the employer contribution requirement.

In any year when one of the above scenarios occurs, the actuary will consider corrective action such as replacing the existing unfunded liability bases with a single “fresh start” base and amortizing it over an appropriate period.

The current amortization schedule on the following page may appear to show that, based on the current amortization bases, one of the above scenarios will occur at some point in the future. It is impossible to know today whether such a scenario will in fact arise since there will be additional bases added to the amortization schedule in each future year. Should such a scenario ari se in any future year, the actuary will take appropriate action based on guidelines in the CalPERS Actuarial Amortization Policy.

Rate Plan belonging to the Miscellaneous Risk Pool Page 21 Future Investment Return Scenarios
Analysis using the investment return scenarios from the Asset Liability Management process completed in 2021 was performed to determine the effects of various future investment returns on required employer contributions. The projections below refle ct the impact of the CalPERS Funding Risk Mitigation Policy. The projections also assume that all other actuarial assumptions will be realized and that no further changes in assumptions, contributions, benefits, or funding will occur.

The first table shows projected contribution requirements if the fund were to earn either 3.0% or 10.8% annually. These alter nate investment returns were chosen because 90% of long-term average returns are expected to fall between them over the 20-year period ending June 30, 2043.

Discount Rate 6.75% 6.70% 6.65% 6.60% 6.55%
Normal Cost Rate 12.2% 12.4% 12.7% 12.9% 13.2%
UAL Contribution $294,000 $295,000 $312,000 $285,000 $244,000 Required contributions outside of this range are also possible. In particular, whereas it is unlikely that investment returns will average less than 3.0% or greater than 10.8% over a 20-year period, the likelihood of a single investment return less than 3.0% or greater than 10.8% in any given year is much greater. The following analysis illustrates the effect of an extreme, single year investment return.

The portfolio has an expected volatility (or standard deviation) of 12.0% per year. Accordingly, in any given year there is a 16% probability that the annual return will be -5.2% or less and a 2.5% probability that the annual return will be -17.2% or less. These returns represent one and two standard deviations below the expected return of 6.8%.

The following table shows the effect of one and two standard deviation investment losses in FY 2023-24 on the FY 2026-27 contribution requirements. Note that a single-year investment gain or loss decreases or increases the required UAL contribution amount incrementally for each of the next five years, not just one, due to the 5-year ramp in the amortization policy. However, the contribution requirements beyond the first year are also impacted by investment returns beyond the first year. Historical ly, significant downturns in the market are often followed by higher than average returns. Such investment gains would offset the impact of these single year negative returns in years beyond FY 2026-27.

• Without investment gains (returns higher than 6.8%) in FY 2024-25 or later, projected contributions rates would continue to rise over the next four years due to the continued phase-in of the impact of the illustrated investment loss in FY 2023-24.
• The Pension Outlook Tool can be used to model projected contributions for these scenarios beyond FY 2026-27 as well as to model other investment return scenarios .

The discount rate assumption is calculated as the sum of the assumed real rate of return and the assumed annual price inflation, currently 4.5% and 2.3%, respectively. Changing either the price inflation assumption or the real rate of return assumption will change the discount rate. The sensitivity of the valuation results to the discount rate assumption depends on which component of the discount rate is changed. Shown below are various valuation results as of June 30, 2023, assuming alternate discount rates by changing the two components independently. Results are shown using the current discount rate of

6.8% as well as alternate discount rates of 5.8% and 7.8%. The rates of 5.8% and 7.8% were selected since they il lustrate the impact of a 1.0% increase or decrease to the 6.8% assumption.

Rate Plan belonging to the Miscellaneous Risk Pool Page 23 Maturity Measures
As pension plans mature they become more sensitive to risks .Understanding plan maturity and how it affects the ability of a pension plan sponsor to tolerate risk is important in understanding how the pension plan is impacted by investment return volatility, other economic variables and changes in longevity or other demographic assumptions.

Since it is the employer that bears the risk, it is appropriate to perform this analysis on a pension plan level considering all rate plans. The following measures are for one rate plan only. One way to look at the maturity level of CalPERS and its plans is to look at the ratio of a plan’s retiree liability to its total liability. A pension plan in its infancy will have a ve ry low ratio of retiree liability to total liability. As the plan matures, the ratio increases. A mature plan will often have a ratio above 60%-65%.

Ratio of Retiree Accrued Liability to
Total Accrued Liability June 30, 2022 June 30, 2023

1. Retiree Accrued Liability $8,558,327 $8,593,304

2. Total Accrued Liability $12,243,907 $12,833,612

3. Ratio of Retiree AL to Total AL [(1) ÷ (2)] 70% 67%
Another measure of the maturity level of CalPERS and its plans is the ratio of actives to retirees, also called the support ratio. A pension plan in its infancy will have a very high ratio of active to retired members. As the plan matures and members retire, the ratio declines. A mature plan will often have a ratio near or below one.

To calculate the support ratio for the rate plan, retirees and beneficiaries receiving a continuance are each counted as one, even though they may have only worked a portion of their careers as an active member of this rate plan. For this reason, the support ratio, while intuitive, may be less informative than the ratio of retiree liability to total accrued liability above.

For comparison, the support ratio for all CalPERS public agency plans as of June 30, 2022, was 0.77 and was calculated consistently with how it is for the individual rate plan. Note that to calculate the support ratio for all public agency plan s, a retiree with service from more than one CalPERS agency is counted as a retiree more than once.

Rate Plan belonging to the Miscellaneous Risk Pool Page 24 Maturity Measures (continued)
The actuarial calculations supplied in this communication are based on various assumptions about long -term demographic and economic behavior. Unless these assumptions (e.g., terminations, deaths, disabilities, retirements, salary increases, investment return) are exactly realized each year, there will be differences on a year-to-year basis. The year-to-year differences between actual experience and the assumptions are called actuarial gains and losses and serve to lower or raise required employer contributions from one year to the next. Therefore, employer contributions will inevitably fluctuate, especially due to the ups and downs of investment returns.

Asset Volatility Ratio
Shown in the table below is the asset volatility ratio (AVR), which is the ratio of market value of assets to payroll. Plans that have a higher AVR experience more volatile employer contributions (as a percentage of payroll) due to investment return. For example, a plan with an AVR of 8 may experience twice the contribution volatility due to investment return volatility than a plan with an AVR of 4. It should be noted that this ratio is a measure of the current situation. It increases over time but generally tends to stabilize as a plan matures.

Liability Volatility Ratio
Also shown in the table below is the liability volatility ratio (LVR), which is the ratio of accrued liability to payroll. Plans that have a higher LVR experience more volatile employer contributions (as a percentage of payroll) due to changes in liability. For example, a plan with an LVR of 8 is expected to have twice the contribution volatility of a plan with an LVR of 4 when there is a change in accrued liability, such as when there is a change in actuarial assumptions. It should be noted that this ratio indicates a longer-term potential for contribution volatility, since the AVR, described above, will tend to move closer to the LVR as the funded ratio approaches 100%.

CalPERS Actuarial Valuation - June 30, 2023
Miscellaneous Plan of the City of Kingsburg
CalPERS ID: 1210886769
Rate Plan belonging to the Miscellaneous Risk Pool Page 25 Funded Status – Termination Basis
The funded status measured on a termination basis is an estimate of the financial position of the plan had the contract with CalPERS been terminated as of June 30, 2023. The accrued liability on a termination basis (termination liability) is calculated differently from the plan’s ongoing funding liability. For the termination liability calculation, both compensation and servi ce are frozen as of the valuation date and no future pay increases or service accruals are assumed. This measure of funded status is not appropriate for assessing the need for future employer contributions in the case of an ongoing plan, that is, for an empl oyer that continues to provide CalPERS retirement benefits to active employees. Unlike the actuarial cost method used for ongoing plans, the termination liability is the present value of the benefits earned through the valuation date.

A more conservative investment policy and asset allocation strategy was adopted by the board for the Terminated Agency Pool.

The Terminated Agency Pool has limited funding sources since no future employer contributions will be made. Therefore, expected benefit payments are secured by risk-free assets and benefit security for members is increased while limiting the funding risk.

However, this asset allocation has a lower expected rate of return than the remainder of the PERF and consequently, a lower discount rate assumption. The lower discount rate for the Terminated Agency Pool results in higher liabilities for terminated plans.

The discount rate used for actual termination valuations is a weighted average of the 10-year and 30-year Treasury yields where the weights are based on matching asset and liability durations as of the termination date. The discount rates used in the following analysis is based on 20-year Treasury bonds, which is a good proxy for most plans. The discount rate upon contract termination will depend on actual Treasury rates on the date of termination, which varies over time, as shown below.

Valuation 20-Year Valuation 20-Year
Date Treasury Rate Date Treasury Rate
06/30/2014 3.08% 06/30/2019 2.31%
06/30/2015 2.83% 06/30/2020 1.18%
06/30/2016 1.86% 06/30/2021 2.00%
06/30/2017 2.61% 06/30/2022 3.38%
06/30/2018 2.91% 06/30/2023 4.06%
As Treasury rates are variable, the table below shows a range for the termination liability using discount rates 1% below and above the 20-year Treasury rate on the valuation date. The price inflation assumption is the 20-year Treasury breakeven inflation rate, that is, the difference between the 20-year inflation indexed bond and the 20-year fixed-rate bond.

The Market Value of Assets (MVA) also varies with interest rates and will fluctuate depending on other market conditions on the date of termination. Since it is not possible to approximate how the MVA will change in different interest rate environments, the results below use the MVA as of the valuation date.

Discount Rate: 3.06%
Price Inflation: 2.50%
Discount Rate: 5.06%

3. Unfunded Termination Liability [(1) – (2)] $11,227,482 $5,915,937

4. Funded Ratio [(2) ÷ (1)] 46.1% 61.8%
1 The termination liabilities calculated above include a 5% contingency load. The contingency load and other actuarial assumptions can be found in Appendix A of the Section 2 report.

In order to terminate the plan, first contact our Pension Contract Services unit to initiate a Resolution of Intent to Terminate. The completed Resolution will allow a CalPERS actuary to provide a preliminary termination valuation with a more up -to-date estimate of the plan’s assets and liabilities. Before beginning this process, please consult with a CalPERS actuary.

Miscellaneous Plan of the City of Kingsburg

Rate Plan belonging to the Miscellaneous Risk Pool Page 26 Funded Status – Low-Default-Risk Basis
Actuarial Standard of Practice (ASOP) No. 4, Measuring Pension Obligations and Determining Pension Plan Costs or Contributions, requires the disclosure of a low-default-risk obligation measure (LDROM) of benefit costs accrued as of the valuation date using a discount rate based on the yields of high quality fixed income securities wi th cash flows that replicate expected benefit payments. Conceptually, this measure represents the level at which financial markets would value the accrued plan costs, and would be approximately equal to the cost of a portfolio of low-default-risk bonds with similar financial characteristics to accrued plan costs.

As permitted in ASOP No. 4, the Actuarial Office uses the Entry Age Actuarial Cost Method to calculate the LDROM. This methodology is in line with the measure of “benefit entitlements” calculated by the Bureau of Economic Analysis and used by the Federal Reserve to report the indebtedness due to pensions of plan sponsors and, conversely, the household wealth due to pensions of plan members.

As shown below, the discount rate used for the LDROM is 4.82%, which is the Standard FTSE Pension Liability Index1 discount rate as of June 30, 2023, net of assumed administrative expenses.

Selected Measures on a Low-Default-Risk Basis June 30, 2023 Discount Rate 4.82%

1. Accrued Liability2 – Low-Default-Risk Basis (LDROM)
a) Active Members $4,530,261
b) Transferred Members 1,180,096
c) Separated Members 270,369
d) Members and Beneficiaries Receiving Payments 10,572,184 e) Total $16,552,910

2. Market Value of Assets (MVA) 9,589,834

3. Unfunded Accrued Liability – Low-Default-Risk Basis [(1e) – (2)] $6,963,076

4. Unfunded Accrued Liability – Funding Policy Basis 3,243,778

5. Present Value of Unearned Investment Risk Premium [(3) – (4)] $3,719,298 The difference between the unfunded liabilities on a low-default-risk basis and on the funding policy basis represents the present value of the investment risk premium that must be earned in future years to keep future contributions for currently accrued p lan costs at the levels anticipated by the funding policy.

Benefit security for members of the plan relies on a combination of the assets in the plan, the investment income generated from those assets, and the ability of the plan sponsor to make necessary future contributions. If future returns fall short of 6.8%, benefit security could be at risk without higher than currently anticipated future contributions.

The funded status on a low-default-risk basis is not appropriate for assessing the sufficiency of plan assets to cover the cost of settling the plan’s benefit obligations (see Funded Status – Termination Basis), nor is it appropriate for assessing the need for future contributions (see Funded Status – Funding Policy Basis). 1 This index is based on a yield curve of hypothetical AA-rated zero coupon corporate bonds whose maturities range from 6 months to 30 years. The index represents the single discount rate that w ould produce the same present value as discounting a standardized set of liability cash flow s for a fully open pension plan using the yield curve. The liability cash flows are reasonably consistent with the pattern of benefits expected to be paid from the entire Public Employees’ Retirement Fund for current and former plan members. A different index, hence a different discount rate, may be needed to measure the LDROM for a subset of the fund, such as a single rate plan or a group of retirees. 2 If plan assets w ere invested entirely in the AA fixed income securities used to determine the discount rate of 4.82%, the CalPERS discount rate could, at various times, be below 4.5% or 5.25%, and some automatic annual retiree COLAs could be suspended (Gov. Code sections 21329 and 21335). Since there is currently no proposal to adopt an asset allocation entirely comprised of fixed income securities, the automatic COLAs have been fully valued in the measures above based on the assumptions used for plan funding. Removing future COLAs from the measurement w ould understate the statutory obligation.

Rate Plan belonging to the Miscellaneous Risk Pool Page 3 Introduction
This report presents the results of the June 30, 2023,actuarial valuation of the PEPRA Miscellaneous Plan of the City of Kingsburg of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS). This actuarial valuation sets the minimum required contributions for fiscal year (FY) 2025-26.

Purpose of Section 1
This Section 1 report for the PEPRA Miscellaneous Plan of the City of Kingsburg of CalPERS was prepared by the Actuarial Office using data as of June 30, 2023. The purpose of the valuation is to:
• Set forth the assets and accrued liabilities of this rate plan as of June 30, 2023; • Determine the minimum required employer contributions for this rate plan for FY July 1, 2025,through June 30, 2026; • Determine the required member contribution rate for FY July 1, 2025,through June 30, 2026, for employees subject to the California Public Employees' Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA); and • Provide actuarial information as of June 30, 2023, to the CalPERS Board of Administration (board) and other interested parties.

The pension funding information presented in this report should not be used in financial reports subject to Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68 for a Cost Sharing Employer Defined Benefit Pension Plan. A separate accounting valuation report for such purposes is available on the CalPERS website (www.calpers.ca.gov).

The measurements shown in this actuarial valuation may not be applicable for other purposes. The agency should contact a CalPERS actuary before disseminating any portion of this report for any reason that is not explicitly described above.

Future actuarial measurements may differ significantly from the current measurements presented in this report due to such factors as the following: plan experience differing from that anticipated by the economic or demographic assumptions; changes in economic or demographic assumptions; changes in actuarial policies; changes in plan provisions or applicable law; and differences between the required contributions determined by the valuation and the actual contributions made by the agency.

Assessment and Disclosure of Risk
This report includes the following risk disclosures consistent with the guidance of Actuarial Standards of Practice No. 51 and recommended by the California Actuarial Advisory Panel (CAAP) in the Model Disclosure Elements document:
• A “Scenario Test,” projecting future results under different investment income returns. • A “Sensitivity Analysis,” showing the impact on current valuation results using alternative discount rates of 5.8% and

7.8%.
• A “Sensitivity Analysis,” showing the impact on current valuation results assuming rates of mortality are 10% lower or 10% higher than our current post-retirement mortality assumptions adopted in 2021. • Plan maturity measures indicating how sensitive a plan may be to the risks noted above.

The standard actuarial practice at CalPERS is to recognize mandated legislative benefit changes in the first annual valuation following the effective date of the legislation. For pooled rate plans, voluntary benefit changes by plan amendment are generally included in the first valuation with a valuation date on or after the effective date of the amendment.

Please refer to the Plan’s Major Benefit Options in this report and Appendix B of the Section 2 Report for a summary of the plan provisions used in this valuation.

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
There are no significant changes to the actuarial methods or assumptions for the June 30, 2023,actuarial valuation.

New Disclosure Items
In December 2021, the Actuarial Standards Board issued a revision of Actuarial Standard of Practice No. 4 (ASOP 4) requiring actuaries to disclose a low-default-risk obligation measure (LDROM) of the benefits earned. This information is shown in a new exhibit, Funded Status – Low-Default-Risk Basis.

Subsequent Events
This actuarial valuation report reflects fund investment return through June 30, 2023,as well as statutory changes, regulatory changes and board actions through January 2024.

During the time period between the valuation date and the publication of this report, inflation has been higher than the expected inflation of 2.3% per annum. Since inflation influences cost-of-living increases for retirees and beneficiaries and active member pay increases, higher inflation is likely to put at least some upward pressure on contribution requirements a nd downward pressure on the funded status in the June 30, 2024, valuation. The actual impact of higher inflation on future valuation results will depend on, among other factors, how long higher inflation persists.

The 2023 annual benefit limit under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 415(b) and annual compensation limits under IRC section 401(a)(17) and Government Code section 7522.10 were used for this valuation and are assumed to increase 2.3% per year based on the price inflation assumption. The actual 2024 limits, determined in October 2023, are not reflected.

On April 16, 2024, the board took action to modify the Funding Risk Mitigation Policy to remove the automatic change to the discount rate when the investment return exceeds various thresholds. Rather than an automatic change to the discount rate, a board discussion would be placed on the calendar. The 95th percentile return in the Future Investment Return Scenarios exhibit in this report has not been modified and still reflects the projected contribution requirements associated with a reduction in the discount rate.

To the best of our knowledge, there have been no other subsequent events that could materially affect current or future certifications rendered in this report.

CalPERS Actuarial Valuation - June 30, 2023
PEPRA Miscellaneous Plan of the City of Kingsburg
CalPERS ID: 1210886769
Rate Plan belonging to the Miscellaneous Risk Pool Page 7 Determination of Required Contributions
Contributions to fund the plan are determined by an actuarial valuation performed each year. The valuation employs complex calculations based on a set of actuarial assumptions and methods. See Appendix A in Section 2 for information on the assumptions and methods used in this valuation. The valuation incorporates all plan experience through the valuation date and sets required contributions for the fiscal year that begins two years after the valuation date.

Contribution Components
Two components comprise required contributions:
• Normal Cost—expressed as a percentage of pensionable payroll • Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) Contribution — expressed as a dollar amount Normal Costrepresents the value of benefits allocated to the upcoming year for active employees. If all plan experience exactly matched the actuarial assumptions, normal cost would be sufficient to fully fund all benefits. The employer and employees each pay a share of the normal cost with contributions payable as part of the regular payroll reporting process. The contribution rate for Classic members is set by statute based on benefit formula whereas for PEPRA members it is based on 50% of the total normal cost.

When plan experience differs from the actuarial assumptions, unfunded accrued liability (UAL) emerges. The new UAL may be positive or negative. If the total UAL is positive (i.e., accrued liability exceeds assets), the employer is required to make contributions to pay off the UAL over time. This is called the Unfunded Accrued Liability Contribution component. There is an option to prepay this amount during July of each fiscal year, otherwise it is paid monthly.

In measuring the UAL each year, plan experience is split by source. Common sources of UAL include investment experience different than expected, non-investment experience different than expected, assumption changes and benefit changes. Each source of UAL (positive or negative) forms a base that is amortized, or paid off, over a specified period of time in accordance with the CalPERS Actuarial Amortization Policy. The Unfunded Accrued Liability Contribution is the sum of the payments on all bases. See the Schedule of Amortization Bases section of this report for an inventory of existing bases and Appendix A in Section 2 for more information on the amortization policy.

The required member contributions in this report do not reflect any cost sharing arrangement between the agency and the employees.

The California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA) established new benefit formulas, final compensation period, and contribution requirements for “new” employees (generally those first hired into a CalPERS-covered position on or after January 1, 2013). In accordance with Government Code Section 7522.30(b), “new members … shall have an initial contribution rate of at least 50% of the normal cost rate.” The normal cost rate for the plan is dependent on the benefit levels, actuarial assumptions and demographics of the risk pool, particularly members’ entry age. Should the total normal cost rate of the plan change by more than 1% from the base total normal cost rate established for the plan, the new member rate shall be 50% of the new normal cost rate rounded to the nearest quarter percent.

The table below shows the determination of the PEPRA member contribution rates effective July 1, 2025, based on 50% of the total normal cost rate as of the June 30, 2023, valuation.

PEPRA Miscellaneous Plan of the City of Kingsburg
CalPERS ID: 1210886769
Rate Plan belonging to the Miscellaneous Risk Pool Page 12 Funded Status – Funding Policy Basis
The table below provides information on the current funded status of the plan under the funding policy. The funded status for this purpose is based on the market value of assets relative to the funding target produced by the entry age actuarial cost method and actuarial assumptions adopted by the board. The actuarial cost method allocates the total expected cost of a member’s projected benefit (Present Value of Benefits) to individual years of service (the Normal Cost). The value of the projected benefit that is not allocated to future service is referred to as the Accrued Liability and is the plan’s funding target on the valuation date.

The Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) equals the funding target minus the assets. The UAL is an absolute measure of funded status and can be viewed as employer debt. The funded ratio equals the assets divided by the funding target. The funded ratio is a relative measure of the funded status and allows for comparisons between plans of different sizes.

A funded ratio of 100% (UAL of $0) implies that the funding of the plan is on target and that future contributions equal to the normal cost of the active plan members will be sufficient to fully fund all retirement benefits if future experience matches the actuarial assumptions. A funded ratio of less than 100% (positive UAL) implies that in addition to normal costs, payments toward the UAL will be required. Plans with a funded ratio greater than 100% have a negative UAL (or surplus) but are required under current law to continue contributing the normal cost in most cases, preserving the surplus for future contingencies.

Calculations for the funding target reflect the expected long-term investment return of 6.8%. If it were known on the valuation date that future investment returns will average something greater/less than the expected return, calculated normal costs and accrued liabilities provided in this report would be less/greater than the results shown. Therefore, for example, if actual a verage future returns are less than the expected return, calculated normal costs and UAL contributions will not be sufficient to fully fund all retirement benefits. Under this scenario, required future normal cost contributions will need to increase from those provided in this report, and the plan will develop unfunded liabilities that will also add to required future contributions. For illustrative purposes, funded statuses based on a 1% lower and higher average future investment return (discount rate) are as follows:

The Risk Analysis section of the report provides additional information regarding the sensitivity of valuation results to the expected investment return and other factors. Also provided in that section are measures of funded status that are appropriate for assessing the sufficiency of plan assets to cover estimated termination liabilities.

Rate Plan belonging to the Miscellaneous Risk Pool Page 13 Additional Employer Contributions
The minimum required employer contribution towards the Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) for this rate plan for FY 2025-26 is $7,456. CalPERS allows agencies to make additional discretionary payments (ADPs) at any time. These optional payments serve to reduce the UAL and future required contributions and can result in significant long -term savings. Agencies can also use ADPs to stabilize annual contributions as a fixed dollar amount, percent of payroll or percent of revenue.

Provided below are select ADP options for consideration. Making such an ADP during FY 2025-26 does not require an ADP be made in any future year, nor does it change the remaining amortization period of any portion of unfunded liability. For information on permanent changes to amortization periods, see Amortization Schedule and Alternatives . Agencies considering making an ADP should contact CalPERS for additional information.

With no ADP the UAL is projected to increase over the following year. If the minimum UAL payment were split between interest and principal, the principal portion would be negative. This situation is referred to as negative amortization. If only the minimum required contribution is made, contributions are not expected to exceed interest on the UAL until FY 2026-27, as shown in the Amortization Schedule and Alternatives section of the report (see columns labeled Current Amortization Schedule).

The calculations above are based on the projected UAL as of June 30, 2025,as determined in the June 30, 2023, actuarial valuation. New unfunded liabilities can emerge in future years due to assumption or method changes, changes in plan provisions, and actuarial experience different than assumed. Making an ADP illustrated above for the indicated number of year s will not result in a plan that is exactly 100% funded in the indicated number of years.

The table below shows the required and projected employer contributions (before cost sharing) for the next six fiscal years. The projection assumes that all actuarial assumptions will be realized and that no further changes to assumptions, contributions, benefits, or funding will occur during the projection period. In particular, the investment return beginning with FY 2023-24 is assumed to be 6.80% per year, net of investment and administrative expenses. Future contribution requirements may differ significantly from those shown below. The actual long-term cost of the plan will depend on the actual benefits and expenses paid and the actual investment experience of the fund.

UAL Payment $7,456 $9,800 $12,000 $15,000 $15,000 $15,000 For ongoing plans, investment gains and losses are amortized using a 5-year ramp up. For more information, please see Amortization of Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability in Appendix A of the Section 2 Report. This method phases in the impact of the change in UAL over a 5-year period in order to reduce employer cost volatility from year to year. As a result of this methodology, dramatic changes in the required employer contributions in any one year are less likely. However, required contributions can change gradually and significantly over the next five years. In years when there is a large investment loss, the relatively small amortization payments during the ramp up period could result in contributions that are less than interest on the UAL (i.e. negative amortization) while the contribution impact of the increase in the UAL is phased in.

The required contribution for FY 2025-26 is less than interest on the UAL, a situation referred to as negative amortization, as explained in the Additional Employer Contributions section earlier in this report. If only the minimum required contribution is made, contributions are not expected to exceed interest on the UAL until FY 2026-27, as shown in the Amortization Schedule and Alternatives section of the report (see columns labelled “Current Amortization Schedule”).

For projected contributions under alternate investment return scenarios, please see the Future Investment Return Scenarios exhibit. Our online pension plan projection tool, Pension Outlook, is available in the Employers section of the CalPERS website.

Pension Outlook can help plan and budget pension costs under various scenarios.

Rate Plan belonging to the Miscellaneous Risk Pool Page 15 Schedule of Amortization Bases
Below is the schedule of the plan’s amortization bases. Note that there is a two-year lag between the valuation date and the start of the contribution year. • The assets, liabilities and funded status of the plan are measured as of the valuation date: June 30, 2023. • The required employer contributions determined by the valuation are for the fiscal year beginning two years after the val uation date: FY 2025-26.

This two-year lag is necessary due to the amount of time needed to extract and test the membership and financial data, and the need to provide public agencies with their required employer contribution well in advance of the start of the fiscal year.

The Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) is used to determine the employer contribution and therefore must be rolled forward two years from the valuation date to the first day of the fiscal year for which the contribution is being determined. The UAL is rolled forward each year by subtracting the expected payment on the UAL for the fiscal year and adjusting for interest. The expected payment on the UAL for FY 2023-24 is based on the actuarial valuation two years ago, adjusted for additional discretionary payments made on or before April 30, 2024, if necessary, and the expected payment for FY 2024-25 is based on the actuarial valuation one year ago.

CalPERS ID: 1210886769
Rate Plan belonging to the Miscellaneous Risk Pool Page 16 Amortization Schedule and Alternatives
The amortization schedule on the previous page(s) shows the minimum contributions required according to the CalPERS amortization policy. Many agencies have expressed a desire for a more stable pattern of payments or have indicated interest in paying off the unfunded accrued liabilities more quickly than required. As such, we have provided alternative amortization schedules to help analyze the current amortization schedule and illustrate the potential savings of accelerating unfunded liability payments.

Shown on the following page are future year amortization payments based on 1) the current amortization schedule reflecting th e individual bases and remaining periods shown on the previous page, and 2) alternative “fresh start” amortization schedules using two sample periods that would both result in interest savings relative to the current amortization schedule. To initiate a fresh start, please contact a CalPERS actuary.

The current amortization schedule typically contains both pos itive and negative bases. Positive bases result from plan changes, assumption changes, method changes or plan experience that increase unfunded liability. Negative bases result from plan changes, assumption changes, method changes, or plan experience that decrease unfunded liability. The combination of positive and negative bases within an amortization schedule can result in unusual or problematic circumstances in future year s, such as:
• When a negative payment would be required on a positive unfunded actuarial liability; or • When the payment would completely amortize the total unfunded liability in a very short time period, and results in a large change in the employer contribution requirement.

In any year when one of the above scenarios occurs, the actuary will consider corrective action such as replacing the existing unfunded liability bases with a single “fresh start” base and amortizing it over an appropriate period.

The current amortization schedule on the following page may appear to show that, based on the current amortization bases, one of the above scenarios will occur at some point in the future. It is impossible to know today whether such a scenario will in fact arise since there will be additional bases added to the amortization schedule in each future year. Should such a scenario arise in any future year, the actuary will take appropriate action based on guidelines in the CalPERS Actuarial Amortization Policy.

Rate Plan belonging to the Miscellaneous Risk Pool Page 20 Future Investment Return Scenarios
Analysis using the investment return scenarios from the Asset Liability Management process completed in 2021 was performed to determine the effects of various future investment returns on required employer contributions. The projections below refle ct the impact of the CalPERS Funding Risk Mitigation Policy. The projections also assume that all other actuarial assumptions will be realized and that no further changes in assumptions, contributions, benefits, or funding will occur.

The first table shows projected contribution requirements if the fund were to earn either 3.0% or 10.8% annually. These alter nate investment returns were chosen because 90% of long-term average returns are expected to fall between them over the 20-year period ending June 30, 2043.

through FY 2042-43

3.0% (5th percentile)
Discount Rate 6.80% 6.80% 6.80% 6.80% 6.80%
Normal Cost Rate 8.0% 8.0% 8.0% 8.0% 8.0%
UAL Contribution $11,000 $15,000 $20,000 $24,000 $28,000

10.8% (95th percentile)
Discount Rate 6.75% 6.70% 6.65% 6.60% 6.55%
Normal Cost Rate 8.2% 8.4% 8.6% 8.3% 8.5%
UAL Contribution $9,100 $9,900 $9,800 $0 $0
Required contributions outside of this range are also possible. In particular, whereas it is unlikely that investment returns will average less than 3.0% or greater than 10.8% over a 20-year period, the likelihood of a single investment return less than 3.0% or greater than 10.8% in any given year is much greater. The following analysis illustrates the effect of an extreme, single year investment return.

The portfolio has an expected volatility (or standard deviation) of 12.0% per year. Accordingly, in any given year there is a 16% probability that the annual return will be -5.2% or less and a 2.5% probability that the annual return will be -17.2% or less. These returns represent one and two standard deviations below the expected return of 6.8%.

The following table shows the effect of one and two standard deviation investment losses in FY 2023-24 on the FY 2026-27 contribution requirements. Note that a single-year investment gain or loss decreases or increases the required UAL contribution amount incrementally for each of the next five years, not just one, due to the 5-year ramp in the amortization policy. However, the contribution requirements beyond the first year are also impacted by investment returns beyond the first year. Historically, significant downturns in the market are often followed by higher than average returns. Such investment gains would offset the impact of these single year negative returns in years beyond FY 2026-27.

• Without investment gains (returns higher than 6.8%) in FY 2024-25 or later, projected contributions rates would continue to rise over the next four years due to the continued phase-in of the impact of the illustrated investment loss in FY 2023-24.
• The Pension Outlook Tool can be used to model projected contributions for these scenarios beyond FY 2026-27 as well as to model other investment return scenarios .

Rate Plan belonging to the Miscellaneous Risk Pool Page 21 Discount Rate Sensitivity
The discount rate assumption is calculated as the sum of the assumed real rate of return and the assumed annual price inflation, currently 4.5% and 2.3%, respectively. Changing either the price inflation assumption or the real rate of return assumption will change the discount rate. The sensitivity of the valuation results to the discount rate assumption depends on which component of the discount rate is changed. Shown below are various valuation results as of June 30, 2023, assuming alternate discount rates by changing the two components independently. Results are shown using the current discount rate of

6.8% as well as alternate discount rates of 5.8% and 7.8%. The rates of 5.8% and 7.8% were selected since they illustrate the impact of a 1.0% increase or decrease to the 6.8% assumption.

Rate Plan belonging to the Miscellaneous Risk Pool Page 22 Maturity Measures
As pension plans mature they become more sensitive to risks .Understanding plan maturity and how it affects the ability of a pension plan sponsor to tolerate risk is important in understanding how the pension plan is impacted by investment return volatility, other economic variables and changes in longevity or other demographic assumptions.

Since it is the employer that bears the risk, it is appropriate to perform this analysis on a pension plan level considering all rate plans. The following measures are for one rate plan only. One way to look at the maturity level of CalPERS and its plans is to look at the ratio of a plan’s retiree liability to its total liability. A pension plan in its infancy will have a ve ry low ratio of retiree liability to total liability. As the plan matures, the ratio increases. A mature plan will often have a ratio above 60%-65%.

Ratio of Retiree Accrued Liability to
Total Accrued Liability June 30, 2022 June 30, 2023

1. Retiree Accrued Liability $0 $0

2. Total Accrued Liability $797,447 $1,080,342

3. Ratio of Retiree AL to Total AL [(1) ÷ (2)] 0% 0%
Another measure of the maturity level of CalPERS and its plans is the ratio of actives to retirees, also called the support ratio. A pension plan in its infancy will have a very high ratio of active to retired members. As the plan matures and members retire, the ratio declines. A mature plan will often have a ratio near or below one.

To calculate the support ratio for the rate plan, retirees and beneficiaries receiving a continuance are each counted as one, even though they may have only worked a portion of their careers as an active member of this rate plan. For this reason, the support ratio, while intuitive, may be less informative than the ratio of retiree liability to total accrued liability above.

For comparison, the support ratio for all CalPERS public agency plans as of June 30, 2022, was 0.77 and was calculated consistently with how it is for the individual rate plan. Note that to calculate the support ratio for all public agency plan s, a retiree with service from more than one CalPERS agency is counted as a retiree more than once.

The actuarial calculations supplied in this communication are based on various assumptions about long -term demographic and economic behavior. Unless these assumptions (e.g., terminations, deaths, disabilities, retirements, salary increases, investment return) are exactly realized each year, there will be differences on a year-to-year basis. The year-to-year differences between actual experience and the assumptions are called actuarial gains and losses and serve to lower or raise required empl oyer contributions from one year to the next. Therefore, employer contributions will inevitably fluctuate, especially due to the u ps and downs of investment returns.

Asset Volatility Ratio
Shown in the table below is the asset volatility ratio (AVR), which is the ratio of market value of assets to payroll. Plans that have a higher AVR experience more volatile employer contributions (as a percentage of payroll) due to investment return. For example, a plan with an AVR of 8 may experience twice the contribution volatility due to investment return volatility than a plan with an AVR of 4. It should be noted that this ratio is a measure of the current situation. It increases over time but generally tends to stabilize as a plan matures.

Liability Volatility Ratio
Also shown in the table below is the liability volatility ratio (LVR), which is the ratio of accrued liability to payroll. Pl ans that have a higher LVR experience more volatile employer contributions (as a percentage of payroll) due to changes in liability. For example, a plan with an LVR of 8 is expected to have twice the contribution volatility of a plan with an LVR of 4 when there is a change in accrued liability, such as when there is a change in actuarial assumptions. It should be noted that this ratio indicates a longer-term potential for contribution volatility, since the AVR, described above, will tend to move closer to the LVR as the funded ratio approaches 100%.

PEPRA Miscellaneous Plan of the City of Kingsburg
CalPERS ID: 1210886769
Rate Plan belonging to the Miscellaneous Risk Pool Page 24 Funded Status – Termination Basis
The funded status measured on a termination basis is an estimate of the financial position of the plan had the contract with CalPERS been terminated as of June 30, 2023. The accrued liability on a termination basis (termination liability) is calculated differently from the plan’s ongoing funding liability. For the termination liability calculation, both compensation and servi ce are frozen as of the valuation date and no future pay increases or service accruals are assumed. This measure of funded status is not appropriate for assessing the need for future employer contributions in the case of an ongoing plan, that is, for an empl oyer that continues to provide CalPERS retirement benefits to active employees. Unlike the actuarial cost method used for ongoing plans, the termination liability is the present value of the benefits earned through the valuation date.

A more conservative investment policy and asset allocation strategy was adopted by the board for the Terminated Agency Pool.

The Terminated Agency Pool has limited funding sources since no future employer contributions will be made. Therefore, expected benefit payments are secured by risk-free assets and benefit security for members is increased while limiting the funding risk.

However, this asset allocation has a lower expected rate of return than the remainder of the PERF and consequently, a lower discount rate assumption. The lower discount rate for the Terminated Agency Pool results in higher liabilities for terminated plans.

The discount rate used for actual termination valuations is a weighted average of the 10-year and 30-year Treasury yields where the weights are based on matching asset and liability durations as of the termination date. The discount rates used in the following analysis is based on 20-year Treasury bonds, which is a good proxy for most plans. The discount rate upon contract termination will depend on actual Treasury rates on the date of termination, which varies over time, as shown below.

Valuation 20-Year Valuation 20-Year
Date Treasury Rate Date Treasury Rate
06/30/2014 3.08% 06/30/2019 2.31%
06/30/2015 2.83% 06/30/2020 1.18%
06/30/2016 1.86% 06/30/2021 2.00%
06/30/2017 2.61% 06/30/2022 3.38%
06/30/2018 2.91% 06/30/2023 4.06%
As Treasury rates are variable, the table below shows a range for the termination liability using discount rates 1% below and above the 20-year Treasury rate on the valuation date. The price inflation assumption is the 20-year Treasury breakeven inflation rate, that is, the difference between the 20-year inflation indexed bond and the 20-year fixed-rate bond.

The Market Value of Assets (MVA) also varies with interest rates and will fluctuate depending on other market conditions on the date of termination. Since it is not possible to approximate how the MVA will change in different interest rate environments, the results below use the MVA as of the valuation date.

Discount Rate: 3.06%

Rate Plan belonging to the Miscellaneous Risk Pool Page 25 Funded Status – Low-Default-Risk Basis
Actuarial Standard of Practice (ASOP) No. 4, Measuring Pension Obligations and Determining Pension Plan Costs or Contributions, requires the disclosure of a low-default-risk obligation measure (LDROM) of benefit costs accrued as of the valuation date using a discount rate based on the yields of high quality fixed income securities with cash flows that replica te expected benefit payments. Conceptually, this measure represents the level at which financial markets would value the accrued plan costs, and would be approximately equal to the cost of a portfolio of low-default-risk bonds with similar financial characteristics to accrued plan costs.

As permitted in ASOP No. 4, the Actuarial Office uses the Entry Age Actuarial Cost Method to calculate the LDROM. This methodology is in line with the measure of “benefit entitlements” calculated by the Bureau of Economic Analysis and used by the Federal Reserve to report the indebtedness due to pensions of plan sponsors and, conversely, the household wealth due to pensions of plan members.

As shown below, the discount rate used for the LDROM is 4.82%, which is the Standard FTSE Pension Liability Index1 discount rate as of June 30, 2023, net of assumed administrative expenses.

3. Unfunded Accrued Liability – Low-Default-Risk Basis [(1e) – (2)] $770,674

4. Unfunded Accrued Liability – Funding Policy Basis 131,625

5. Present Value of Unearned Investment Risk Premium [(3) – (4)] $639,049 The difference between the unfunded liabilities on a low-default-risk basis and on the funding policy basis represents the present value of the investment risk premium that must be earned in future years to keep future contributions for currently accrued p lan costs at the levels anticipated by the funding policy.

Benefit security for members of the plan relies on a combination of the assets in the plan, the investment income generated from those assets, and the ability of the plan sponsor to make necessary future contributions. If future returns fall short of 6.8%, benefit security could be at risk without higher than currently anticipated future contributions.

The funded status on a low-default-risk basis is not appropriate for assessing the sufficiency of plan assets to cover the cost of settling the plan’s benefit obligations (see Funded Status – Termination Basis), nor is it appropriate for assessing the need for future contributions (see Funded Status – Funding Policy Basis). 1 This index is based on a yield curve of hypothetical AA-rated zero coupon corporate bonds whose maturities range from 6 months to 30 years. The index represents the single discount rate that w ould produce the same present value as discounting a standardized set of liability cash flow s for a fully open pension plan using the yield curve. The liability cash flows are reasonably consistent with the pattern of benefits expected to be paid from the entire Public Employees’ Retirement Fund for current and former plan members. A different index, hence a different discount rate, may be needed to measure the LDROM for a subset of the fund, such as a single rate plan or a group of retirees. 2 If plan assets w ere invested entirely in the AA fixed income securities used to determine the discount rate of 4.82%, the CalPERS discount rate could, at various times, be below 4.5% or 5.25%, and some automatic annual retiree COLAs could be suspended (Gov. Code sections 21329 and 21335). Since there is currently no proposal to adopt an asset allocation entirely comprised of fixed income securities, the automatic COLAs have been fully valued in the measures above based on the assumptions used for plan funding. Removing future COLAs from the measurement w ould understate the statutory obligation.

Introduction
This report presents the results of the June 30, 2023,actuarial valuation of the Safety Fire Plan of the City of Kingsburg of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS). This actuarial valuation sets the minimum required contributions for fiscal year (FY) 2025-26.

Purpose of Section 1
This Section 1 report for the Safety Fire Plan of the City of Kingsburg of CalPERS was prepared by the Actuarial Office using data as of June 30, 2023. The purpose of the valuation is to:
• Set forth the assets and accrued liabilities of this rate plan as of June 30, 2023; • Determine the minimum required employer contributions for this rate plan for FY July 1, 2025,through June 30, 2026; • Determine the required member contribution rate for FY July 1, 2025,through June 30, 2026, for employees subject to the California Public Employees' Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA); and • Provide actuarial information as of June 30, 2023, to the CalPERS Board of Administration (board) and other interested parties.

The pension funding information presented in this report should not be used in financi al reports subject to Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68 for a Cost Sharing Employer Defined Benefit Pension Plan. A separate accounting valuation report for such purposes is available on the CalPERS website (www.calpers.ca.gov).

The measurements shown in this actuarial valuation may not be applicable for other purposes. The agency should contact a CalPERS actuary before disseminating any portion of this report for any reason that is not explicitly described above.

Future actuarial measurements may differ significantly from the current measurements presented in this report due to such factors as the following: plan experience differing from that anticipated by the economic or demographic assumptions; changes in economic or demographic assumptions; changes in actuarial policies; changes in plan provisions or applicable law; and differences between the required contributions determined by the valuation and the actual contributions made by the agency.

Assessment and Disclosure of Risk
This report includes the following risk disclosures consistent with the guidance of Actuarial Standards of Practice No. 51 and recommended by the California Actuarial Advisory Panel (CAAP) in the Model Disclosure Elements document:
• A “Scenario Test,” projecting future results under different investment income returns. • A “Sensitivity Analysis,” showing the impact on current valuation results using alternative discount rates of 5.8% and

7.8%.
• A “Sensitivity Analysis,” showing the impact on current valuation results assuming rates of mortality are 10% lower or 10% higher than our current post-retirement mortality assumptions adopted in 2021. • Plan maturity measures indicating how sensitive a plan may be to the risks noted above.

Changes Since the Prior Year’s Valuation
Benefits
The standard actuarial practice at CalPERS is to recognize mandated legislative benefit changes in the first annual valuation following the effective date of the legislation. For pooled rate plans, voluntary benefit changes by plan amendment are generally included in the first valuation with a valuation date on or after the effective date of the amendment.

Please refer to the Plan’s Major Benefit Options in this report and Appendix B of the Section 2 Report for a summary of the plan provisions used in this valuation.

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
There are no significant changes to the actuarial methods or assumptions for the June 30, 2023,actuarial valuation.

New Disclosure Items
In December 2021, the Actuarial Standards Board issued a revision of Actuarial Standard of Practice No. 4 (ASOP 4) requiring actuaries to disclose a low-default-risk obligation measure (LDROM) of the benefits earned. This information is shown in a new exhibit, Funded Status – Low-Default-Risk Basis.

Subsequent Events
This actuarial valuation report reflects fund investment return through June 30, 2023,as well as statutory changes, regulatory changes and board actions through January 2024.

During the time period between the valuation date and the publication of this report, inflation has been higher than the expected inflation of 2.3% per annum. Since inflation influences cost-of-living increases for retirees and beneficiaries and active member pay increases, higher inflation is likely to put at least some upward pressure on contribution requirements and downward pressure on the funded status in the June 30, 2024, valuation. The actual impact of higher inflation on future valuation results will depend on, among other factors, how long higher inflation persists.

The 2023 annual benefit limit under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 415(b) and annual compensation limits under IRC section 401(a)(17) and Government Code section 7522.10 were used for this valuation and are assumed to increase 2.3% per year based on the price inflation assumption. The actual 2024 limits, determined in October 2023, are not reflected.

On April 16, 2024, the board took action to modify the Funding Risk Mitigation Policy to remove the automatic change to the discount rate when the investment return exceeds various thresholds. Rather than an automatic change to the discount rate, a board discussion would be placed on the calendar. The 95th percentile return in the Future Investment Return Scenarios exhibit in this report has not been modified and still reflects the projected contribution requirements associated with a reduction i n the discount rate.

To the best of our knowledge, there have been no other subsequent events that could materially affect current or future certifications rendered in this report.

Determination of Required Contributions
Contributions to fund the plan are determined by an actuarial valuation performed each year. The valuation employs complex calculations based on a set of actuarial assumptions and methods. See Appendix A in Section 2 for information on the assumptions and methods used in this valuation. The valuation incorporates all plan experience through the valuation date and sets required contributions for the fiscal year that begins two years after the valuation date.

Contribution Components
Two components comprise required contributions:
• Normal Cost—expressed as a percentage of pensionable payroll • Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) Contribution — expressed as a dollar amount Normal Costrepresents the value of benefits allocated to the upcoming year for active employees. If all plan experience exactly matched the actuarial assumptions, normal cost would be sufficient to fully fund all benefits. The employer and employees each pay a share of the normal cost with contributions payable as part of the regular payroll reporting process. The contribution rate for Classic members is set by statute based on benefit formula whereas for PEPRA members it is based on 50% of the total normal cost.

When plan experience differs from the actuarial assumptions, unfunded accrued liability (UAL) emerges. The new UAL may be positive or negative. If the total UAL is positive (i.e., accrued liability exceeds assets), the employer is required to make contributions to pay off the UAL over time. This is called the Unfunded Accrued Liability Contribution component. There is an option to prepay this amount during July of each fiscal year, otherwise it is paid monthly.

In measuring the UAL each year, plan experience is split by source. Common sources of UAL include investment experience different than expected, non-investment experience different than expected, assumption changes and benefit changes. Each source of UAL (positive or negative) forms a base that is amortized, or paid off, over a specified period of time in accordance with the CalPERS Actuarial Amortization Policy. The Unfunded Accrued Liability Contribution is the sum of the payments on all bases. See the Schedule of Amortization Bases section of this report for an inventory of existing bases and Appendix A in Section 2 for more information on the amortization policy.

Other Pooled Safety Risk Pool Rate Plans
All of the results presented in this Section 1 report, except those shown on this page, correspond to rate plan 1348. In many cases, employers have additional rate plans within the same risk pool. For cost analysis and budgeting it is useful to consid er contributions for these rate plans as a whole rather than individually. The estimated contribution amounts and rates for all of the employer’s rate plans in the Safety Risk Pool are shown below and assume that the total employer payroll within the Safety Risk Pool will grow according to the overall payroll growth assumption of 2.80% per year for three years. Classic members who are projected to terminate employment are assumed to be replaced by PEPRA members.

Allocation of Plan’s Share of Pool’s Experience
It is the policy of CalPERS to ensure equity within the risk pools by allocating the pool’s experience gains/losses and assum ption changes in a manner that treats each employer equitably and maintains benefit security for the members of the System while minimizing substantial variations in employer contributions. The pool’s experience gains/losses and impact of assumption/method changes is allocated to the plan as follows:

1. Plan’s Accrued Liability $6,359,041

2. Projected UAL Balance at 6/30/2023 1,485,735

Funded Status – Funding Policy Basis
The table below provides information on the current funded status of the plan under the funding policy. The funded status for this purpose is based on the market value of assets relative to the funding target produced by the entry age actuarial cost method and actuarial assumptions adopted by the board. The actuarial cost method allocates the total expected cost of a member’s projected benefit (Present Value of Benefits) to individual years of service (the Normal Cost). The value of the projected benefit that is not allocated to future service is referred to as the Accrued Liability and is the plan’s funding target on the valuation date.

The Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) equals the funding target minus the assets. The UAL is an absolute measure of funded status and can be viewed as employer debt. The funded ratio equals the assets divided by the funding target. The funded ratio is a relative measure of the funded status and allows for comparisons between plans of different sizes.

A funded ratio of 100% (UAL of $0) implies that the funding of the plan is on target and that future contributions equal to the normal cost of the active plan members will be sufficient to fully fund all retirement benefits if future experience matches the actuarial assumptions. A funded ratio of less than 100% (positive UAL) implies that in addition to normal costs, payments toward the UAL will be required. Plans with a funded ratio greater than 100% have a negative UAL (or surplus) but are required under current law to continue contributing the normal cost in most cases, preserving the surplus for future contingencies.

Calculations for the funding target reflect the expected long-term investment return of 6.8%. If it were known on the valuation date that future investment returns will average something greater/less than the expected return, calculated normal costs and accrued liabilities provided in this report would be less/greater than the results shown. Therefore, for example, if actual a verage future returns are less than the expected return, calculated normal costs and UAL contributions will not be sufficient to fully fund all retirement benefits. Under this scenario, required future normal cost contributions will need to increase from those provided in this report, and the plan will develop unfunded liabilities that will also add to required future contributions. For illustrative purposes, funded statuses based on a 1% lower and higher average future investment return (discount rate) are as follows:

The Risk Analysis section of the report provides additional information regarding the sensitivity of valuation results to the expected investment return and other factors. Also provided in that section are measures of funded status that are appropriate for assessing the sufficiency of plan assets to cover estimated termination liabilities.

Additional Employer Contributions
The minimum required employer contribution towards the Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) for this rate plan for FY 2025-26 is $169,104. CalPERS allows agencies to make additional discretionary payments (ADPs) at any time. These optional payments serve to reduce the UAL and future required contributions and can result in significant long -term savings. Agencies can also use ADPs to stabilize annual contributions as a fixed dollar amount, percent of payroll or percent of revenue.

Provided below are select ADP options for consideration. Making such an ADP during FY 2025-26 does not require an ADP be made in any future year, nor does it change the remaining amortization period of any portion of unfunded liability. For information on permanent changes to amortization periods, see Amortization Schedule and Alternatives . Agencies considering making an ADP should contact CalPERS for additional information.

A payment made earlier or later in the fiscal year w ould have to be less or more than the amount show n to have the same effect on the UAL amortization.

The calculations above are based on the projected UAL as of June 30, 2025,as determined in the June 30, 2023, actuarial valuation. New unfunded liabilities can emerge in future years due to assumption or method changes, changes in plan provisions, and actuarial experience different than assumed. Making an ADP illustrated above for the indicated number of year s will not result in a plan that is exactly 100% funded in the indicated number of years. Valuation results will vary from one year to the next and can diverge significantly from projections over a period of several years.

Projected Employer Contributions
The table below shows the required and projected employer contributions (before cost sharing) for the next six fiscal years. The projection assumes that all actuarial assumptions will be realized and that no further changes to assumptions, contributions, benefits, or funding will occur during the projection period. In particular, the investment return beginning with FY 2023-24 is assumed to be 6.80% per year, net of investment and administrative expenses. Future contribution requirements may differ significantly from those shown below. The actual long-term cost of the plan will depend on the actual benefits and expenses paid and the actual investment experience of the fund.

UAL Payment $169,104 $181,000 $192,000 $213,000 $218,000 $222,000 For ongoing plans, investment gains and losses are amortized using a 5-year ramp up. For more information, please see Amortization of Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability in Appendix A of the Section 2 Report. This method phases in the impact of the change in UAL over a 5-year period in order to reduce employer cost volatility from year to year. As a result of this methodology, dramatic changes in the required employer contributions in any one year are less likely. However, required contributions can change gradually and significantly over the next five years. In years when there is a large investment loss, the relatively small amortization payments during the ramp up period could result in contributions that are less than interest on the UAL (i.e. negative amortization) while the contribution impact of the increase in the UAL is phased in.

For projected contributions under alternate investment return scenarios, please see the Future Investment Return Scenarios exhibit. Our online pension plan projection tool, Pension Outlook, is available in the Employers section of the CalPERS website.

Pension Outlook can help plan and budget pension costs under various scenarios.

Schedule of Amortization Bases
Below is the schedule of the plan’s amortization bases. Note that there is a two-year lag between the valuation date and the start of the contribution year. • The assets, liabilities and funded status of the plan are measured as of the valuation date: June 30, 2023. • The required employer contributions determined by the valuation are for the fiscal year beginning two years after the valuation date: FY 2025-26.

This two-year lag is necessary due to the amount of time needed to extract and test the membership and financial data, and the need to provide public agencies with their required employer contribution well in advance of the start of the fiscal year.

The Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) is used to determine the employer contribution and therefore must be rolled forward two years from the valuation date to the first day of the fiscal year for which the contribution is being determined. The UAL is rolled forward each year by subtracting the expected payment on the UAL for the fiscal year and adjusting for interest. The expected payment on the UAL for FY 2023-24 is based on the actuarial valuation two years ago, adjusted for additional discretionary payments made on or before April 30, 2024, if necessary, and the expected payment for FY 2024-25 is based on the actuarial valuation one year ago.

Amortization Schedule and Alternatives
The amortization schedule on the previous page(s) shows the minimum contributions required according to the CalPERS amortization policy. Many agencies have expressed a desire for a more stable pattern of payments or have indicated interest in paying off the unfunded accrued liabilities more quickly than required. As such, we have provided alternative amortization schedules to help analyze the current amortization schedule and illustrate the potential savings of accelerating unfunded lia bility payments.

Shown on the following page are future year amortization payments based on 1) the current amortization schedule reflecting the individual bases and remaining periods shown on the previous page, and 2) alternative “fresh start” amortization schedules using two sample periods that would both result in interest savings relative to the current amortization schedule. To initiate a fresh start, please contact a CalPERS actuary.

The current amortization schedule typically contains both positive and negative bases. Positive bases result from plan changes, assumption changes, method changes or plan experience that increase unfunded liability. Negative bases result from plan changes, assumption changes, method changes, or plan experience that decrease unfunded liability. The combination of positive and negative bases within an amortization schedule can result in unusual or problematic circumstances in future years, such as:
• When a negative payment would be required on a positive unfunded actuarial liability; or • When the payment would completely amortize the total unfunded liability in a very short time period, and results in a large change in the employer contribution requirement.

In any year when one of the above scenarios occurs, the actuary will consider corrective action such as replacing the existin g unfunded liability bases with a single “fresh start” base and amortizing it over an appropriate period.

The current amortization schedule on the following page may appear to show that, based on the current amortization bases, one of the above scenarios will occur at some point in the future. It is impossible to know today whether such a scenario will in fact arise since there will be additional bases added to the amortization schedule in each future year. Should such a scenario ari se in any future year, the actuary will take appropriate action based on guidelines in the CalPERS Actuarial Amortization Policy.

Future Investment Return Scenarios
Analysis using the investment return scenarios from the Asset Liability Management process completed in 2021 was performed to determine the effects of various future investment returns on required employer contributions. The projections below reflect the impact of the CalPERS Funding Risk Mitigation Policy. The projections also assume that all other actuarial assumptions will be realized and that no further changes in assumptions, contributions, benefits, or funding will occur.

The first table shows projected contribution requirements if the fund were to earn either 3.0% or 10.8% annually. These alter nate investment returns were chosen because 90% of long-term average returns are expected to fall between them over the 20-year period ending June 30, 2043.

Normal Cost Rate 23.5% 23.9% 24.3% 24.7% 25.1%
UAL Contribution $177,000 $180,000 $189,000 $177,000 $0 Required contributions outside of this range are also possible. In particular, whereas it is unlikely that investment returns will average less than 3.0% or greater than 10.8% over a 20-year period, the likelihood of a single investment return less than 3.0% or greater than 10.8% in any given year is much greater. The following analysis illustrates the effect of an extreme, single year investment return.

The portfolio has an expected volatility (or standard deviation) of 12.0% per year. Accordingly, in any given year there is a 16% probability that the annual return will be -5.2% or less and a 2.5% probability that the annual return will be -17.2% or less. These returns represent one and two standard deviations below the expected return of 6.8%.

The following table shows the effect of one and two standard deviation investment losses in FY 2023-24 on the FY 2026-27 contribution requirements. Note that a single-year investment gain or loss decreases or increases the required UAL contribution amount incrementally for each of the next five years, not just one, due to the 5-year ramp in the amortization policy. However, the contribution requirements beyond the first year are also impacted by investment returns beyond the first year. Historically, significant downturns in the market are often followed by higher than average returns. Such investment gains would offset the impact of these single year negative returns in years beyond FY 2026-27.

• Without investment gains (returns higher than 6.8%) in FY 2024-25 or later, projected contributions rates would continue to rise over the next four years due to the continued phase-in of the impact of the illustrated investment loss in FY 2023-24.
• The Pension Outlook Tool can be used to model projected contributions for these scenarios beyond FY 2026-27 as well as to model other investment return scenarios .

Discount Rate Sensitivity
The discount rate assumption is calculated as the sum of the assumed real rate of return and the assumed annual price inflation, currently 4.5% and 2.3%, respectively. Changing either the price inflation assumption or the real rate of return assumption will change the discount rate. The sensitivity of the valuation results to the discount rate assumption depends on which component of the discount rate is changed. Shown below are various valuation results as of June 30, 2023, assuming alternate discount rates by changing the two components independently. Results are shown using the current discount rate of

6.8% as well as alternate discount rates of 5.8% and 7.8%. The rates of 5.8% and 7.8% were selected since they illustrate the impact of a 1.0% increase or decrease to the 6.8% assumption.

Maturity Measures
As pension plans mature they become more sensitive to risks .Understanding plan maturity and how it affects the ability of a pension plan sponsor to tolerate risk is important in understanding how the pension plan is impacted by investment return volatility, other economic variables and changes in longevity or other demographic assumptions.

Since it is the employer that bears the risk, it is appropriate to perform this analysis on a pension plan level considering all rate plans. The following measures are for one rate plan only. One way to look at the maturity level of CalPERS and its plans is to look at the ratio of a plan’s retiree liability to its total liability. A pension plan in its infancy will have a very low ra tio of retiree liability to total liability. As the plan matures, the ratio increases. A mature plan will often have a ratio above 60%-65%.

Ratio of Retiree Accrued Liability to
Total Accrued Liability June 30, 2022 June 30, 2023

1. Retiree Accrued Liability $3,188,372 $3,190,775

2. Total Accrued Liability $5,974,190 $6,359,041

3. Ratio of Retiree AL to Total AL [(1) ÷ (2)] 53% 50%
Another measure of the maturity level of CalPERS and its plans is the ratio of actives to retirees, also called the support ratio. A pension plan in its infancy will have a very high ratio of active to retired members. As the plan matures and members retire, the ratio declines. A mature plan will often have a ratio near or below one.

To calculate the support ratio for the rate plan, retirees and beneficiaries receiving a continuance are each counted as one, even though they may have only worked a portion of their careers as an active member of this rate plan. For this reason, the suppo rt ratio, while intuitive, may be less informative than the ratio of retiree liability to total accrued liability above.

For comparison, the support ratio for all CalPERS public agency plans as of June 30, 2022, was 0.77 and was calculated consistently with how it is for the individual rate plan. Note that to calculate the support ratio for all public agency plans, a retiree with service from more than one CalPERS agency is counted as a retiree more than once.

Maturity Measures (continued)
The actuarial calculations supplied in this communication are based on various assumptions about long -term demographic and economic behavior. Unless these assumptions (e.g., terminations, deaths, disabilities, retirements, salary increases, investment return) are exactly realized each year, there will be differences on a year-to-year basis. The year-to-year differences between actual experience and the assumptions are called actuarial gains and losses and serve to lower or raise required employer contributions from one year to the next. Therefore, employer contributions will inevitably fluctuate, especially due to the ups and downs of investment returns.

Asset Volatility Ratio
Shown in the table below is the asset volatility ratio (AVR), which is the ratio of market value of assets to payroll. Plans that have a higher AVR experience more volatile employer contributions (as a percentage of payroll) due to investment return. For example, a plan with an AVR of 8 may experience twice the contribution volatility due to investment return volatility than a plan with an AVR of 4. It should be noted that this ratio is a measure of the current situation. It increases over time but generall y tends to stabilize as a plan matures.

Liability Volatility Ratio
Also shown in the table below is the liability volatility ratio (LVR), which is the ratio of accrued liability to payroll. Pl ans that have a higher LVR experience more volatile employer contributions (as a percentage of payroll) due to changes in liability. For example, a plan with an LVR of 8 is expected to have twice the contribution volatility of a plan with an LVR of 4 when there is a change in accrued liability, such as when there is a change in actuarial assumptions. It should be noted that this ratio indicates a longer-term potential for contribution volatility, since the AVR, described above, will tend to move closer to the LVR as the funded ratio approaches 100%.

Funded Status – Termination Basis
The funded status measured on a termination basis is an estimate of the financial position of the plan had the contract with CalPERS been terminated as of June 30, 2023. The accrued liability on a termination basis (termination liability) is calculated differently from the plan’s ongoing funding liability. For the termination liability calculation, both compensation and service are frozen as of the valuation date and no future pay increases or service accruals are assumed. This measure of funded status is not appropriate for assessing the need for future employer contributions in the case of an ongoing plan, that is, for an employer that continues to provide CalPERS retirement benefits to active employees. Unlike the actuarial cost method used for ongoing plans, the termination liability is the present value of the benefits earned through the valuation date.

A more conservative investment policy and asset allocation strategy was adopted by the board for the Terminated Agency Pool.

The Terminated Agency Pool has limited funding sources since no future employer contributions will be made. Therefore, expected benefit payments are secured by risk-free assets and benefit security for members is increased while limiting the funding risk.

However, this asset allocation has a lower expected rate of return than the remainder of the PERF and consequently, a lower discount rate assumption. The lower discount rate for the Terminated Agency Pool results in higher liabilities for terminated plans.

The discount rate used for actual termination valuations is a weighted average of the 10-year and 30-year Treasury yields where the weights are based on matching asset and liability durations as of the termination date. The discount rates used in the fo llowing analysis is based on 20-year Treasury bonds, which is a good proxy for most plans. The discount rate upon contract termination will depend on actual Treasury rates on the date of termination, which varies over time, as shown below.

Valuation 20-Year Valuation 20-Year
Date Treasury Rate Date Treasury Rate
06/30/2014 3.08% 06/30/2019 2.31%
06/30/2015 2.83% 06/30/2020 1.18%
06/30/2016 1.86% 06/30/2021 2.00%
06/30/2017 2.61% 06/30/2022 3.38%
06/30/2018 2.91% 06/30/2023 4.06%
As Treasury rates are variable, the table below shows a range for the termination liability using discount rates 1% below and above the 20-year Treasury rate on the valuation date. The price inflation assumption is the 20-year Treasury breakeven inflation rate, that is, the difference between the 20-year inflation indexed bond and the 20-year fixed-rate bond.

The Market Value of Assets (MVA) also varies with interest rates and will fluctuate depending on other market conditions on the date of termination. Since it is not possible to approximate how the MVA will change in different interest rate environments, the results below use the MVA as of the valuation date.

In order to terminate the plan, first contact our Pension Contract Services unit to initiate a Resolution of Intent to Terminate. The completed Resolution will allow a CalPERS actuary to provide a preliminary termination valuation with a more up -to-date estimate of the plan’s assets and liabilities. Before beginning this process, please consult with a CalPERS actuary.

Funded Status – Low-Default-Risk Basis
Actuarial Standard of Practice (ASOP) No. 4, Measuring Pension Obligations and Determining Pension Plan Costs or Contributions, requires the disclosure of a low-default-risk obligation measure (LDROM) of benefit costs accrued as of the valuation date using a discount rate based on the yields of high quality fixed income securities with cash flows that replica te expected benefit payments. Conceptually, this measure represents the level at which financial markets would value the accrued plan costs, and would be approximately equal to the cost of a portfolio of low-default-risk bonds with similar financial characteristics to accrued plan costs.

As permitted in ASOP No. 4, the Actuarial Office uses the Entry Age Actuarial Cost Method to calculate the LDROM. This methodology is in line with the measure of “benefit entitlements” calculated by the Bureau of Economic Analysis and used by the Federal Reserve to report the indebtedness due to pensions of plan sponsors and, conversely, the household wealth due to pensions of plan members.

As shown below, the discount rate used for the LDROM is 4.82%, which is the Standard FTSE Pension Liability Index1 discount rate as of June 30, 2023, net of assumed administrative expenses.

Selected Measures on a Low-Default-Risk Basis June 30, 2023 Discount Rate 4.82%

1. Accrued Liability2 – Low-Default-Risk Basis (LDROM)
a) Active Members $1,889,643
b) Transferred Members 2,524,517
c) Separated Members 48,902
d) Members and Beneficiaries Receiving Payments 3,977,209 e) Total $8,440,271

2. Market Value of Assets (MVA) 4,758,706

3. Unfunded Accrued Liability – Low-Default-Risk Basis [(1e) – (2)] $3,681,565

4. Unfunded Accrued Liability – Funding Policy Basis 1,600,335

5. Present Value of Unearned Investment Risk Premium [(3) – (4)] $2,081,230 The difference between the unfunded liabilities on a low-default-risk basis and on the funding policy basis represents the present value of the investment risk premium that must be earned in future years to keep future contributions for currently accrued p lan costs at the levels anticipated by the funding policy.

Benefit security for members of the plan relies on a combination of the assets in the plan, the investment income generated from those assets, and the ability of the plan sponsor to make necessary future contributions. If future returns fall short of 6.8%, benefit security could be at risk without higher than currently anticipated future contributions.

The funded status on a low-default-risk basis is not appropriate for assessing the sufficiency of plan assets to cover the cost of settling the plan’s benefit obligations (see Funded Status – Termination Basis), nor is it appropriate for assessing the need for future contributions (see Funded Status – Funding Policy Basis). 1 This index is based on a yield curve of hypothetical AA-rated zero coupon corporate bonds whose maturities range from 6 months to 30 years. The index represents the single discount rate that w ould produce the same present value as discounting a standardized set of liability cash flow s for a fully open pension plan using the yield curve. The liability cash flows are reasonably consistent with the pattern of benefits expected to be paid from the entire Public Employees’ Retirement Fund for current and former plan members. A different index, hence a different discount rate, may be needed to measure the LDROM for a subset of the fund, such as a single rate plan or a group of retirees. 2 If plan assets w ere invested entirely in the AA fixed income securities used to determine the discount rate of 4.82%, the CalPERS discount rate could, at various times, be below 4.5% or 5.25%, and some automatic annual retiree COLAs could be suspended (Gov. Code sections 21329 and 21335). Since there is currently no proposal to adopt an asset allocation entirely comprised of fixed income securities, the automatic COLAs have been fully valued in the measures above based on the assumptions used for plan funding. Removing future COLAs from the measurement w ould understate the statutory obligation.

Introduction
This report presents the results of the June 30, 2023,actuarial valuation of the PEPRA Safety Fire Plan of the City of Kingsburg of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS). This actuarial valuation sets the minimum required contributions for fiscal year (FY) 2025-26.

Purpose of Section 1
This Section 1 report for the PEPRA Safety Fire Plan of the City of Kingsburg of CalPERS was prepared by the Actuarial Office using data as of June 30, 2023. The purpose of the valuation is to:
• Set forth the assets and accrued liabilities of this rate plan as of June 30, 2023; • Determine the minimum required employer contributions for this rate plan for FY July 1, 2025,through June 30, 2026; • Determine the required member contribution rate for FY July 1, 2025,through June 30, 2026, for employees subject to the California Public Employees' Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA); and • Provide actuarial information as of June 30, 2023, to the CalPERS Board of Administration (board) and other interested parties.

The pension funding information presented in this report should not be used in financial reports subject to Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68 for a Cost Sharing Employer Defined Benefit Pension Plan. A separate accounting valuation report for such purposes is available on the CalPERS website (www.calpers.ca.gov).

The measurements shown in this actuarial valuation may not be applicable for other purposes. The agency should contact a CalPERS actuary before disseminating any portion of this report for any reason that is not explicitly described above.

Future actuarial measurements may differ significantly from the current measurements presented in this report due to such factors as the following: plan experience differing from that anticipated by the economic or demographic assumptions; changes in economic or demographic assumptions; changes in actuarial policies; changes in plan provisions or applicable law; and differences between the required contributions determined by the valuation and the actual contributions made by the agency.

Assessment and Disclosure of Risk
This report includes the following risk disclosures consistent with the guidance of Actuarial Standards of Practice No. 51 and recommended by the California Actuarial Advisory Panel (CAAP) in the Model Disclosure Elements document:
• A “Scenario Test,” projecting future results under different investment income returns. • A “Sensitivity Analysis,” showing the impact on current valuation results using alternative discount rates of 5.8% and

7.8%.
• A “Sensitivity Analysis,” showing the impact on current valuation results assuming rates of mortality are 10% lower or 10% higher than our current post-retirement mortality assumptions adopted in 2021. • Plan maturity measures indicating how sensitive a plan may be to the risks noted above.

Changes Since the Prior Year’s Valuation
Benefits
The standard actuarial practice at CalPERS is to recognize mandated legislative benefit changes in the first annual valuation following the effective date of the legislation. For pooled rate plans, voluntary benefit changes by plan amendment are generally included in the first valuation with a valuation date on or after the effective date of the amendment.

Please refer to the Plan’s Major Benefit Options in this report and Appendix B of the Section 2 Report for a summary of the plan provisions used in this valuation.

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
There are no significant changes to the actuarial methods or assumptions for the June 30, 2023,actuarial valuation.

New Disclosure Items
In December 2021, the Actuarial Standards Board issued a revision of Actuarial Standard of Practice No. 4 (ASOP 4) requiring actuaries to disclose a low-default-risk obligation measure (LDROM) of the benefits earned. This information is shown in a new exhibit, Funded Status – Low-Default-Risk Basis.

Subsequent Events
This actuarial valuation report reflects fund investment return through June 30, 2023,as well as statutory changes, regulatory changes and board actions through January 2024.

During the time period between the valuation date and the publication of this report, inflation has been higher than the expected inflation of 2.3% per annum. Since inflation influences cost-of-living increases for retirees and beneficiaries and active member pay increases, higher inflation is likely to put at least some upward pressure on contribution requirements a nd downward pressure on the funded status in the June 30, 2024, valuation. The actual impact of higher inflation on future valuation results will depend on, among other factors, how long higher inflation persists.

The 2023 annual benefit limit under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 415(b) and annual compensation limits under IRC section 401(a)(17) and Government Code section 7522.10 were used for this valuation and are assumed to increase 2.3% per year based on the price inflation assumption. The actual 2024 limits, determined in October 2023, are not reflected.

On April 16, 2024, the board took action to modify the Funding Risk Mitigation Policy to remove the automatic change to the discount rate when the investment return exceeds various thresholds. Rather than an automatic change to the discount rate, a board discussion would be placed on the calendar. The 95th percentile return in the Future Investment Return Scenarios exhibit in this report has not been modified and still reflects the projected contribution requirements associated with a reduction in the discount rate.

To the best of our knowledge, there have been no other subsequent events that could materially affect current or future certifications rendered in this report.

Determination of Required Contributions
Contributions to fund the plan are determined by an actuarial valuation performed each year. The valuation employs complex calculations based on a set of actuarial assumptions and methods. See Appendix A in Section 2 for information on the assumptions and methods used in this valuation. The valuation incorporates all plan experience through the valuation date and sets required contributions for the fiscal year that begins two years after the valuation date.

Contribution Components
Two components comprise required contributions:
• Normal Cost—expressed as a percentage of pensionable payroll • Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) Contribution — expressed as a dollar amount Normal Costrepresents the value of benefits allocated to the upcoming year for active employees. If all plan experience exactly matched the actuarial assumptions, normal cost would be sufficient to fully fund all benefits. The employer and employees each pay a share of the normal cost with contributions payable as part of the regular payroll reporting process. The contribution rate for Classic members is set by statute based on benefit formula whereas for PEPRA members it is based on 50% of the total normal cost.

When plan experience differs from the actuarial assumptions, unfunded accrued liability (UAL) emerges. The new UAL may be positive or negative. If the total UAL is positive (i.e., accrued liability exceeds assets), the employer is required to make contributions to pay off the UAL over time. This is called the Unfunded Accrued Liability Contribution component. There is an option to prepay this amount during July of each fiscal year, otherwise it is paid monthly.

In measuring the UAL each year, plan experience is split by source. Common sources of UAL include investment experience different than expected, non-investment experience different than expected, assumption changes and benefit changes. Each source of UAL (positive or negative) forms a base that is amortized, or paid off, over a specified perio d of time in accordance with the CalPERS Actuarial Amortization Policy. The Unfunded Accrued Liability Contribution is the sum of the payments on all bases. See the Schedule of Amortization Bases section of this report for an inventory of existing bases and Appendix A in Section 2 for more information on the amortization policy.

Member Contribution Rates
The required member contributions in this report do not reflect any cost sharing arrangement between the agency and the employees.

The California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA) established new benefit formulas, final compensation period, and contribution requirements for “new” employees (generally those first hired into a CalPERS-covered position on or after January 1, 2013). In accordance with Government Code Section 7522.30(b), “new members … shall have an initial contribution rate of at least 50% of the normal cost rate.” The normal cost rate for the plan is dependent on the benefit levels, actuarial assumptions and demographics of the risk pool, particularly members’ entry age. Should the total normal cost rate of the plan change by more than 1% from the base total normal cost rate established for the plan, the new member rate shall be 50% of the new normal cost rate rounded to the nearest quarter percent.

The table below shows the determination of the PEPRA member contribution rates effective July 1, 2025, based on 50% of the total normal cost rate as of the June 30, 2023, valuation.

Other Pooled Safety Risk Pool Rate Plans
All of the results presented in this Section 1 report, except those shown on this page, correspond to rate plan 25614. In many cases, employers have additional rate plans within the same risk pool. For cost analysis and budgeting it is useful to consid er contributions for these rate plans as a whole rather than individually. The estimated contribution amounts and rates for all of the employer’s rate plans in the Safety Risk Pool are shown below and assume that the total employer payroll within the Safety Risk Pool will grow according to the overall payroll growth assumption of 2.80% per year for three years. Classic members who are projected to terminate employment are assumed to be replaced by PEPRA members.

Funded Status – Funding Policy Basis
The table below provides information on the current funded status of the plan under the funding policy. The funded status for this purpose is based on the market value of assets relative to the funding target produced by the entry age actuarial cost method and actuarial assumptions adopted by the board. The actuarial cost method allocates the total expected cost of a member’s projected benefit (Present Value of Benefits) to individual years of service (the Normal Cost). The value of the projected benefit that is not allocated to future service is referred to as the Accrued Liability and is the plan’s funding target on the valuation date.

The Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) equals the funding target minus the assets. The UAL is an absolute measure of funded status and can be viewed as employer debt. The funded ratio equals the assets divided by the funding target. The funded ratio is a relative measure of the funded status and allows for comparisons between plans of different sizes.

A funded ratio of 100% (UAL of $0) implies that the funding of the plan is on target and that future contributions equal to the normal cost of the active plan members will be sufficient to fully fund all retirement benefits if future experience matches the actuarial assumptions. A funded ratio of less than 100% (positive UAL) implies that in addition to normal costs, payments toward the UAL will be required. Plans with a funded ratio greater than 100% have a negative UAL (or surplus) but are required under current law to continue contributing the normal cost in most cases, preserving the surplus for future contingencies.

Calculations for the funding target reflect the expected long-term investment return of 6.8%. If it were known on the valuation date that future investment returns will average something greater/less than the expected return, calculated normal costs and accrued liabilities provided in this report would be less/greater than the results shown. Therefore, for example, if actual a verage future returns are less than the expected return, calculated normal costs and UAL contributions will not be sufficient to fully fund all retirement benefits. Under this scenario, required future normal cost contributions will need to increase from those provided in this report, and the plan will develop unfunded liabilities that will also add to required future contributions. For illustrative purposes, funded statuses based on a 1% lower and higher average future investment return (discount rate) are as follows:

The Risk Analysis section of the report provides additional information regarding the sensitivity of valuation results to the expected investment return and other factors. Also provided in that section are measures of funded status that are appropriate for assessing the sufficiency of plan assets to cover estimated termination liabilities.

Additional Employer Contributions
The minimum required employer contribution towards the Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) for this rate plan for FY 2025-26 is $11,243. CalPERS allows agencies to make additional discretionary payments (ADPs) at any time. These optional payments serve to reduce the UAL and future required contributions and can result in significant long -term savings. Agencies can also use ADPs to stabilize annual contributions as a fixed dollar amount, percent of payroll or percent of revenue.

Provided below are select ADP options for consideration. Making such an ADP during FY 2025-26 does not require an ADP be made in any future year, nor does it change the remaining amortization period of any portion of unfunded liability. For information on permanent changes to amortization periods, see Amortization Schedule and Alternatives . Agencies considering making an ADP should contact CalPERS for additional information.

With no ADP the UAL is projected to increase over the following year. If the minimum UAL payment were split between interest and principal, the principal portion would be negative. This situation is referred to as negative amortization. If only the minimum required contribution is made, contributions are not expected to exceed interest on the UAL until FY 2027-28, as shown in the Amortization Schedule and Alternatives section of the report (see columns labeled Current Amortization Schedule).

The calculations above are based on the projected UAL as of June 30, 2025,as determined in the June 30, 2023, actuarial valuation. New unfunded liabilities can emerge in future years due to assumption or method changes, changes in plan provisions, and actuarial experience different than assumed. Making an ADP illustrated above for the indicated number of year s will not result in a plan that is exactly 100% funded in the indicated number of years. Valuation results will vary from one year to the next and can diverge significantly from projections over a period of several years.

Projected Employer Contributions
The table below shows the required and projected employer contributions (before cost sharing) for the next six fiscal years. The projection assumes that all actuarial assumptions will be realized and that no further changes to assumptions, contributions, benefits, or funding will occur during the projection period. In particular, the investment return beginning with FY 2023-24 is assumed to be 6.80% per year, net of investment and administrative expenses. Future contribution requirements may differ significantly from those shown below. The actual long-term cost of the plan will depend on the actual benefits and expenses paid and the actual investment experience of the fund.

UAL Payment $11,243 $15,000 $19,000 $23,000 $23,000 $23,000 For ongoing plans, investment gains and losses are amortized using a 5-year ramp up. For more information, please see Amortization of Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability in Appendix A of the Section 2 Report. This method phases in the impact of the change in UAL over a 5-year period in order to reduce employer cost volatility from year to year. As a result of this methodology, dramatic changes in the required employer contributions in any one year are less likely. However, required contributions can change gradually and significantly over the next five years. In years when there is a large investment loss, the relatively small amortization payments during the ramp up period could result in contributions that are less than interest on the UAL (i.e. negative amortization) while the contribution impact of the increase in the UAL is phased in.

The required contribution for FY 2025-26 is less than interest on the UAL, a situation referred to as negative amortization, as explained in the Additional Employer Contributions section earlier in this report. If only the minimum required contribution is made, contributions are not expected to exceed interest on the UAL until FY 2027-28, as shown in the Amortization Schedule and Alternatives section of the report (see columns labelled “Current Amortization Schedule”).

For projected contributions under alternate investment return scenarios, please see the Future Investment Return Scenarios exhibit. Our online pension plan projection tool, Pension Outlook, is available in the Employers section of the CalPERS website.

Pension Outlook can help plan and budget pension costs under various scenarios.

Schedule of Amortization Bases
Below is the schedule of the plan’s amortization bases. Note that there is a two-year lag between the valuation date and the start of the contribution year. • The assets, liabilities and funded status of the plan are measured as of the valuation date: June 30, 2023. • The required employer contributions determined by the valuation are for the fiscal year beginning two years after the valuati on date: FY 2025-26.

This two-year lag is necessary due to the amount of time needed to extract and test the membership and financial data, and the need to provide public agencies with their required employer contribution well in advance of the start of the fiscal year.

The Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) is used to determine the employer contribution and therefore must be rolled forward two years from the valuation date to the first day of the fiscal year for which the contribution is being determined. The UAL is rolled forward each year by subtracting the expected payment on the UAL for the fiscal year and adjusting for interest. The expected payment on the UAL for FY 2023-24 is based on the actuarial valuation two years ago, adjusted for additional discretionary payments made on or before April 30, 2024, if necessary, and the expected payment for FY 2024-25 is based on the actuarial valuation one year ago.

Amortization Schedule and Alternatives
The amortization schedule on the previous page(s) shows the minimum contributions required according to the CalPERS amortization policy. Many agencies have expressed a desire for a more stable pattern of payments or have indicated interest in paying off the unfunded accrued liabilities more quickly than required. As such, we have provided alternative amortization schedules to help analyze the current amortization schedule and illustrate the potential savings of accelerating unfunded liability payments.

Shown on the following page are future year amortization payments based on 1) the current amortization schedule reflecting th e individual bases and remaining periods shown on the previous page, and 2) alternative “fresh start” amortization schedules using two sample periods that would both result in interest savings relative to the current amortization schedule. To initiate a fresh start, please contact a CalPERS actuary.

The current amortization schedule typically contains both pos itive and negative bases. Positive bases result from plan changes, assumption changes, method changes or plan experience that increase unfunded liability. Negative bases result from plan changes, assumption changes, method changes, or plan experience that decrease unfunded liability. The combination of positive and negative bases within an amortization schedule can result in unusual or problematic circumstances in future year s, such as:
• When a negative payment would be required on a positive unfunded actuarial liability; or • When the payment would completely amortize the total unfunded liability in a very short time period, and results in a large change in the employer contribution requirement.

In any year when one of the above scenarios occurs, the actuary will consider corrective action such as replacing the existing unfunded liability bases with a single “fresh start” base and amortizing it over an appropriate period.

The current amortization schedule on the following page may appear to show that, based on the current amortization bases, one of the above scenarios will occur at some point in the future. It is impossible to know today whether such a scenario will in fact arise since there will be additional bases added to the amortization schedule in each future year. Should such a scenario arise in any future year, the actuary will take appropriate action based on guidelines in the CalPERS Actuarial Amortization Policy.

Future Investment Return Scenarios
Analysis using the investment return scenarios from the Asset Liability Management process completed in 2021 was performed to determine the effects of various future investment returns on required employer contributions. The projections below refle ct the impact of the CalPERS Funding Risk Mitigation Policy. The projections also assume that all other actuarial assumptions will be realized and that no further changes in assumptions, contributions, benefits, or funding will occur.

The first table shows projected contribution requirements if the fund were to earn either 3.0% or 10.8% annually. These alter nate investment returns were chosen because 90% of long-term average returns are expected to fall between them over the 20-year period ending June 30, 2043.

through FY 2042-43

Normal Cost Rate 14.0% 14.0% 14.0% 14.0% 14.0%
UAL Contribution $16,000 $23,000 $30,000 $35,000 $42,000

10.8% (95th percentile)
Discount Rate 6.75% 6.70% 6.65% 6.60% 6.55%
Normal Cost Rate 14.4% 14.2% 14.6% 14.9% 14.8%
UAL Contribution $14,000 $16,000 $16,000 $0 $0
Required contributions outside of this range are also possible. In particular, whereas it is unlikely that investment returns will average less than 3.0% or greater than 10.8% over a 20-year period, the likelihood of a single investment return less than 3.0% or greater than 10.8% in any given year is much greater. The following analysis illustrates the effect of an extreme, single year investment return.

The portfolio has an expected volatility (or standard deviation) of 12.0% per year. Accordingly, in any given year there is a 16% probability that the annual return will be -5.2% or less and a 2.5% probability that the annual return will be -17.2% or less. These returns represent one and two standard deviations below the expected return of 6.8%.

The following table shows the effect of one and two standard deviation investment losses in FY 2023-24 on the FY 2026-27 contribution requirements. Note that a single-year investment gain or loss decreases or increases the required UAL contribution amount incrementally for each of the next five years, not just one, due to the 5-year ramp in the amortization policy. However, the contribution requirements beyond the first year are also impacted by investment returns beyond the first year. Historically, significant downturns in the market are often followed by higher than average returns. Such investment gains would offset the impact of these single year negative returns in years beyond FY 2026-27.

• Without investment gains (returns higher than 6.8%) in FY 2024-25 or later, projected contributions rates would continue to rise over the next four years due to the continued phase-in of the impact of the illustrated investment loss in FY 2023-24.
• The Pension Outlook Tool can be used to model projected contributions for these scenarios beyond FY 2026-27 as well as to model other investment return scenarios .

Discount Rate Sensitivity
The discount rate assumption is calculated as the sum of the assumed real rate of return and the assumed annual price inflation, currently 4.5% and 2.3%, respectively. Changing either the price inflation assumption or the real rate of return assumption will change the discount rate. The sensitivity of the valuation results to the discount rate assumption depends on which component of the discount rate is changed. Shown below are various valuation results as of June 30, 2023, assuming alternate discount rates by changing the two components independently. Results are shown using the current discount rate of

6.8% as well as alternate discount rates of 5.8% and 7.8%. The rates of 5.8% and 7.8% were selected since they illustrate the impact of a 1.0% increase or decrease to the 6.8% assumption.

Maturity Measures
As pension plans mature they become more sensitive to risks .Understanding plan maturity and how it affects the ability of a pension plan sponsor to tolerate risk is important in understanding how the pension plan is impacted by investment return volatility, other economic variables and changes in longevity or other demographic assumptions.

Since it is the employer that bears the risk, it is appropriate to perform this analysis on a pension plan level considering all rate plans. The following measures are for one rate plan only. One way to look at the maturity level of CalPERS and its plans is to look at the ratio of a plan’s retiree liability to its total liability. A pension plan in its infancy will have a ve ry low ratio of retiree liability to total liability. As the plan matures, the ratio increases. A mature plan will often have a ratio above 60%-65%.

Ratio of Retiree Accrued Liability to
Total Accrued Liability June 30, 2022 June 30, 2023

1. Retiree Accrued Liability $0 $0

2. Total Accrued Liability $1,146,990 $1,516,788

3. Ratio of Retiree AL to Total AL [(1) ÷ (2)] 0% 0%
Another measure of the maturity level of CalPERS and its plans is the ratio of actives to retirees, also called the support ratio. A pension plan in its infancy will have a very high ratio of active to retired members. As the plan matures and members retire, the ratio declines. A mature plan will often have a ratio near or below one.

To calculate the support ratio for the rate plan, retirees and beneficiaries receiving a continuance are each counted as one, even though they may have only worked a portion of their careers as an active member of this rate plan. For this reason, the support ratio, while intuitive, may be less informative than the ratio of retiree liability to total accrued liability above.

For comparison, the support ratio for all CalPERS public agency plans as of June 30, 2022, was 0.77 and was calculated consistently with how it is for the individual rate plan. Note that to calculate the support ratio for all public agency plan s, a retiree with service from more than one CalPERS agency is counted as a retiree more than once.

Maturity Measures (continued)
The actuarial calculations supplied in this communication are based on various assumptions about long -term demographic and economic behavior. Unless these assumptions (e.g., terminations, deaths, disabilities, retirements, salary increases, investment return) are exactly realized each year, there will be differences on a year-to-year basis. The year-to-year differences between actual experience and the assumptions are called actuarial gains and losses and serve to lower or raise re quired employer contributions from one year to the next. Therefore, employer contributions will inevitably fluctuate, especially due to the u ps and downs of investment returns.

Asset Volatility Ratio
Shown in the table below is the asset volatility ratio (AVR), which is the ratio of market value of assets to payroll. Plans that have a higher AVR experience more volatile employer contributions (as a percentage of payroll) due to investment return. For example, a plan with an AVR of 8 may experience twice the contribution volatility due to investment return volatility than a plan with an AVR of 4. It should be noted that this ratio is a measure of the current situation. It increases over time but generally tends to stabilize as a plan matures.

Liability Volatility Ratio
Also shown in the table below is the liability volatility ratio (LVR), which is the ratio of accrued liability to payroll. Pl ans that have a higher LVR experience more volatile employer contributions (as a percentage of payroll) due to changes i n liability. For example, a plan with an LVR of 8 is expected to have twice the contribution volatility of a plan with an LVR of 4 when there is a change in accrued liability, such as when there is a change in actuarial assumptions. It should be noted that this ratio indicates a longer-term potential for contribution volatility, since the AVR, described above, will tend to move closer to the LVR as the funded ratio approaches 100%.

Funded Status – Termination Basis
The funded status measured on a termination basis is an estimate of the financial position of the plan had the contract with CalPERS been terminated as of June 30, 2023. The accrued liability on a termination basis (termination liability) is calculated differently from the plan’s ongoing funding liability. For the termination liability calculation, both compensation and servi ce are frozen as of the valuation date and no future pay increases or service accruals are assumed. This measure of funded status is not appropriate for assessing the need for future employer contributions in the case of an ongoing plan, that is, for an empl oyer that continues to provide CalPERS retirement benefits to active employees. Unlike the actuarial cost method used for ongoing plans, the termination liability is the present value of the benefits earned through the valuation date.

A more conservative investment policy and asset allocation strategy was adopted by the board for the Terminated Agency Pool.

The Terminated Agency Pool has limited funding sources since no future employer contributions will be made. Therefore, expected benefit payments are secured by risk-free assets and benefit security for members is increased while limiting the funding risk.

However, this asset allocation has a lower expected rate of return than the remainder of the PERF and consequently, a lower discount rate assumption. The lower discount rate for the Terminated Agency Pool results in higher liabilities for terminated plans.

The discount rate used for actual termination valuations is a weighted average of the 10-year and 30-year Treasury yields where the weights are based on matching asset and liability durations as of the term ination date. The discount rates used in the following analysis is based on 20-year Treasury bonds, which is a good proxy for most plans. The discount rate upon contract termination will depend on actual Treasury rates on the date of termination, which varies over time, as shown below.

Valuation 20-Year Valuation 20-Year
Date Treasury Rate Date Treasury Rate
06/30/2014 3.08% 06/30/2019 2.31%
06/30/2015 2.83% 06/30/2020 1.18%
06/30/2016 1.86% 06/30/2021 2.00%
06/30/2017 2.61% 06/30/2022 3.38%
06/30/2018 2.91% 06/30/2023 4.06%
As Treasury rates are variable, the table below shows a range for the termination liability using discount rates 1% below and above the 20-year Treasury rate on the valuation date. The price inflation assumption is the 20-year Treasury breakeven inflation rate, that is, the difference between the 20-year inflation indexed bond and the 20-year fixed-rate bond.

The Market Value of Assets (MVA) also varies with interest rates and will fluctuate depending on other market conditions on the date of termination. Since it is not possible to approximate how the MVA will change in different interest rate environments, the results below use the MVA as of the valuation date.

In order to terminate the plan, first contact our Pension Contract Services unit to initiate a Resolution of Intent to Terminate. The completed Resolution will allow a CalPERS actuary to provide a preliminary termination valuation with a more up -to-date estimate of the plan’s assets and liabilities. Before beginning this process, please consult with a CalPERS actuary.

Funded Status – Low-Default-Risk Basis
Actuarial Standard of Practice (ASOP) No. 4, Measuring Pension Obligations and Determining Pension Plan Costs or Contributions, requires the disclosure of a low-default-risk obligation measure (LDROM) of benefit costs accrued as of the valuation date using a discount rate based on the yields of high quality fixed income securities with cash flo ws that replicate expected benefit payments. Conceptually, this measure represents the level at which financial markets would value the accrued plan costs, and would be approximately equal to the cost of a portfolio of low-default-risk bonds with similar financial characteristics to accrued plan costs.

As permitted in ASOP No. 4, the Actuarial Office uses the Entry Age Actuarial Cost Method to calculate the LDROM. This methodology is in line with the measure of “benefit entitlements” calculated by the Bureau of Economic Analysis and used by the Federal Reserve to report the indebtedness due to pensions of plan sponsors and, conversely, the household wealth due to pensions of plan members.

As shown below, the discount rate used for the LDROM is 4.82%, which is the Standard FTSE Pension Liability Index1 discount rate as of June 30, 2023, net of assumed administrative expenses.

3. Unfunded Accrued Liability – Low-Default-Risk Basis [(1e) – (2)] $1,166,949

4. Unfunded Accrued Liability – Funding Policy Basis 204,434

5. Present Value of Unearned Investment Risk Premium [(3) – (4)] $962,515 The difference between the unfunded liabilities on a low-default-risk basis and on the funding policy basis represents the present value of the investment risk premium that must be earned in future years to keep future contributions for currently accrued p lan costs at the levels anticipated by the funding policy.

Benefit security for members of the plan relies on a combination of the assets in the plan, the investment income generated from those assets, and the ability of the plan sponsor to make necessary future contributions. If future returns fall short of 6.8%, benefit security could be at risk without higher than currently anticipated future contributions.

The funded status on a low-default-risk basis is not appropriate for assessing the sufficiency of plan assets to cover the cost of settling the plan’s benefit obligations (see Funded Status – Termination Basis), nor is it appropriate for assessing the need for future contributions (see Funded Status – Funding Policy Basis). 1 This index is based on a yield curve of hypothetical AA-rated zero coupon corporate bonds whose maturities range from 6 months to 30 years. The index represents the single discount rate that w ould produce the same present value as discounting a standardized set of liability cash flow s for a fully open pension plan using the yield curve. The liability cash flows are reasonably consistent with the pattern of benefits expected to be paid from the entire Public Employees’ Retirement Fund for current and former plan members. A different index, hence a different discount rate, may be needed to measure the LDROM for a subset of the fund, such as a single rate plan or a group of retirees. 2 If plan assets w ere invested entirely in the AA fixed income securities used to determine the discount rate of 4.82%, the CalPERS discount rate could, at various times, be below 4.5% or 5.25%, and some automatic annual retiree COLAs could be suspended (Gov. Code sections 21329 and 21335). Since there is currently no proposal to adopt an asset allocation entirely comprised of fixed income securities, the automatic COLAs have been fully valued in the measures above based on the assumptions used for plan funding. Removing future COLAs from the measurement w ould understate the statutory obligation.
