DEFINITIONS
 PVB - Present Value of all Projected
Benefits:
 The value now of amounts due to be
paid in the future
 Discounted value (at valuation date -
6/30/20), of all future expected benefit
payments based on various (actuarial)
assumptions

 Current Normal Cost (NC):
 Portion of PVB allocated to (or “earned” during) current year  Value of employee and employer current service benefit  Actuarial Liability (AAL):
 Discounted value (at valuation date) of benefits earned through valuation date [value of past service benefit]
 Portion of PVB “earned” at measurement

April 20, 2022 2

DEFINITIONS

 Target- Have money in the bank to cover Actuarial Liability (past service)  Unfunded Liability (UAAL or UAL) - Money short of target at valuation date  If all actuarial assumptions were always exactly met, then the plan assets would always equal AAL
 Any difference is the unfunded (or overfunded) AAL
 Every year, the actuary calculates the difference between the expected UAAL and Actual UAAL. This is a new layer or amortization base
 Each new layer gets amortized (paid off) over a period of time as part of the contribution [rate]

April 20, 2022 3

HOW WE GOT HERE
 Investment Losses

 CalPERS Contribution Policy

 Enhanced Benefits

 Demographics

April 20, 2022 4

HOW WE GOT HERE – INVESTMENT RETURN

Returns (after 2001) shown are gross returns, unreduced for administrative expenses, from CalPERS valuation reports, when available. The discount rate is based on expected returns net of administrative expenses. 20-Year and 30-Year
average return rates on
6/30/21 are 6.9% and

8.3%, respectively

April 20, 2022 5

HOW WE GOT HERE – OLD CONTRIBUTION POLICY
 Effective with 2003 valuations:
 Slow (15 year) recognition of investment losses into funded status  Rolling 30 year amortization of all (primarily investment) losses

 Designed to:
 First smooth rates and
 Second pay off UAL

 Mitigated contribution volatility

April 20, 2022 6

HOW WE GOT HERE – ENHANCED BENEFITS
 At CalPERS, Enhanced Benefits implemented using all (future & prior) service  Typically not negotiated with cost sharing
 City of Riverside
Tier 1 Tier 2 PEPRA
 Miscellaneous 2.7%@55 FAE1 2.7%@55 FAE3 2%@62 FAE3
 Safety Police 3%@50 FAE1 3%@50 FAE3 2.7%@57 FAE3
 Safety Fire 3%@50 FAE1 3%@55 FAE3 2.7%@57 FAE3
 Note:
 FAE1 is highest one year (typically final) average earnings  FAE3 is highest three years (typically final three) average earnings  PEPRA tier implemented for new employees hired after 1/1/13  Employee pays half of total normal cost
 2022 Compensation limit
 Social Security participants: $134,974
 Non-Social Security participants: $161,969

April 20, 2022 7

HOW WE GOT HERE – ENHANCED BENEFITS
 Available CalPERS Benefit formulas. City of Riverside formulas shown in red.  For any retirement age, chart shows benefit multiplier (% FAE per year of service) Retirement Age

April 20, 2022 9

HOW WE GOT HERE – DEMOGRAPHIC
 Around the State
 Large retiree liability compared to actives
 State average: 56% for Miscellaneous, 65% for Safety
 Declining active population and increasing number of retirees  Higher percentage of retiree liability increases contribution volatility

 City of Riverside percentage of liability belonging to retirees:
 Miscellaneous 62%
 Safety 65%

April 20, 2022 10

CALPERS CHANGES
 April 2013: CalPERS adopted new contribution policy
 No asset smoothing or rolling amortization
 February 2018: New amortization policy for 2021/22 contributions  Fixed dollar (level) 20-year amortization rather than % pay (escalating)  5-year ramp up (not down) for investment gains and losses  CalPERS Board changed the discount rate to 7%, still phasing in to rates:

Rate Initial Impact Full Impact
 6/30/16 valuation 7.375% 18/19 22/23
 6/30/17 valuation 7.25% 19/20 23/24
 6/30/18 valuation 7.00% 20/21 24/25
 In the November 2021 meeting, CalPERS Board adopted new  Discount rate and investment allocation
 Discount rate: 6.8% for 6/30/2020. UAL impact matches investment gain amortization (5-year ramp-up)
 Asset allocation has higher investment risk than current portfolio  Experience study (Demographic assumptions)

April 20, 2022 11

CALPERS CHANGES
 Risk Mitigation Strategy
 Move to more conservative investments over time to reduce volatility  Only when investment return is better than expected
 Lower discount rate in concert
 Essentially use ≈50% of investment gains to pay for cost increases  Likely get to 6.0% discount rate over 20+ years
 Risk mitigation suspended from 6/30/16 to 6/30/18 valuation  Did not trigger for 6/30/19 or 6/30/20 valuations
 First trigger for 6/30/21 valuation – 6.8% discount rate

April 20, 2022 12

CALPERS CHANGES

April 20, 2022 13

POB
 City issued Pension Obligation Bonds (POB) in 2004, 2017, and 2020:

Initial POB Balance 6/30/21 Pay-off Date
2004 POB $89,540,000 $20,445,000 8/1/2023
2017 POB 31,960,000 20, 040,000 8/1/2027
2020 POB 432,165,000 428,795,000 8/1/2045

 POB issued (borrowed) to pay off a portion of the unfunded liability  Pension Plan unfunded liability goes down
 City still owes money to bond holders
 POB debt remains a debt related to pension plan
 Similar to if an individual borrows to pay off a portion of a home loan  POB is an arbitrage between:
 Interest paid to bond holders and
 Interest POB proceeds earn in CalPERS (expected, but not guaranteed)

ACTUARIAL CERTIFICATION
This report presents analysis of the City of Riverside’s CalPERS pension plans. The purpose of this report is to provide the City:
 Historical perspective on the plan investment returns, assets, funded status and contributions.  Projections of likely future contributions and the impact of investment volatility

The calculations and projections in this report are based on information contained in the City’s June 30, 2020 and earlier CalPERS actuarial valuation reports. We reviewed this information for reasonableness, but do not make any representation on the accuracy of the CalPERS reports.

Future investment returns and volatility are based on Bartel Associates Capital Market model which results in long term returns summarized on pages 25 and 53.

Future results may differ from our projections due to differences in actual experience as well as changes in plan provisions, CalPERS actuarial assumptions or methodology. Other than variations in investment return, this study does not analyze these.

To the best of our knowledge, this report is complete and accurate and has been conducted using generally accepted actuarial principles and practices. As members of the American Academy of Actuaries meeting the Academy Qualification Standards, we certify the actuarial results and opinions herein.

Respectfully submitted,

Doug Pryor, ASA, EA, MAAA
Vice President
Bartel Associates, LLC

Bianca Lin, FSA, EA, FCA, MAAA
