Food Assistance Programs
- Secure an experienced market provider
that can design an appealing, culturally-relevant
experience that reflects the Seaside community!
- Very important to provide nutrition incentive
programs like Market Match, Fresh Rx to make
market affordable for lower-income residents
- Consider location: Important the market is
accessible by foot, bike and public transit
- Marketing and community
outreach/engagement are integral to a successful
market
- It takes 1 year + for successful markets to establish Blue Zones Project Recommendations
LIVING LONGER,
BETTER. Together.

PRESENTATION TO CITY COUNCIL
ESTABLISH SECTION 115 TRUST & ADOPT PENSION FUNDING POLICY DECEMBER 1, 2022
2 Background
City staff and NHA Advisors (“NHA”) delivered a presentation about CalPERS unfunded accrued liability (“UAL”) cost management strategies to City Council on September 1
City Council directed staff to move forward with setting up a Section 115 Trust FYE 2022 – UAL Update
CalPERS initially reported FY 2021-22 returns of -6.1%; recently updated to -7.5% to account for lagging private equity and real asset investment performance City’s UAL projected to increase to $60M; Current UAL of $40M (6/30/2021 CalPERS Actuarial Valuation)
The City’s annual UAL payment will increase in FY 2024-25 and is projected to ramp up until a peak in FY 2031-32

Benefits of a Section 115 Trust
Trust Assets Used to Smooth Out Peak UAL Payments
Assuming $3.00M invested in FY 2022- 23, with $500K annual contributions for the next four years, @ 5.85%*
returns rate, funds could be withdrawn
from the Section 115 Trust during
higher payment years to stabilize net
impact to the General Fund
During fluctuating peak payments from
2028 – 2037, the City could use Section
115 Trust funds to maintain net UAL
payments at $5.59M
Generates $2.86M of net savings
Increased earnings potential vs. current
General Fund investments (especially in
today’s inflationary environment)
Source of projected UAL payments:
CalPERS Pension Outlook Tool (assumes
CalPERS earns -7.5% in FY 2021-22 and
6.8% every year thereafter)
*5.85% is HighMark Capital Management’s 10-year
annualized total return on a Moderate portfolio (passively managed) as of June 30, 2022
4 Section 115 Trust Smoothing Model
NHA and staff developed a Section 115 Trust model that can be updated annually
Will be adjusted for new UAL changes and/or contribution changes based on actual budgetary results/surplus
Used to re-optimize the pension funding strategy in real time Savings Summary:
Gross Savings from Smoothing: $7,855,917
Initial Deposit to Section 115 Trust: ($3,000,000)
Additional Annual Contributions: ($2,000,000)
Net Savings: $2,855,917

5 Section 115 Trust
Potential Savings Based on Various Levels of Initial Deposit A question was asked at the 9/1 City Council meeting about the benefit of depositing more than $3 million
Depositing more will increase potential savings and the City’s ability to smooth payments at a lower level; depositing less will reduce projected savings and the City’s ability to smooth payments
Initial Deposit Smoothing Level Net Savings
$1.00 Million $5.96 Million $1.55 Million
$2.00 Million $5.76 Million $2.21 Million
$3.00 Million $5.59 Million $2.86 Million
$4.00 Million $5.43 Million $3.51 Million
$5.00 Million $5.28 Million $4.11 Million
$6.00 Million $5.13 Million $4.72 Million
*Assumes 5.85% annual investment earnings
**Assumes $500,000 deposits in FY 2023-24 through FY 2026-27 6 Section 115 Trust vs. Additional Discretionary Payments (ADPs) Diversification and Time Horizon:
CalPERS already manages $146M of the City’s pension assets, which are invested fairly aggressively on a longer time horizon (20+ years) The City’s proposed Moderate portfolio has a shorter time horizon (7-15 years) that aligns with withdrawals and diversifies away from CalPERS Budgetary Flexibility:
Section 115 Trust monies can be used in more ways than an ADP (e.g., normal cost contributions, reimbursement, ADPs)
ADPs will continue to be monitored for strategic opportunities Either from Section 115 Trust balances or other reserves/surplus separate from Section 115 Trust assets
7 Section 115 Trust Provider – Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS) Est. 1st Section 115 Trust in 2004
500 Public Agency Clients (150 Cities/Towns)
$4.9B in Section 115 Assets
Partners with HighMark Capital (Investment
Manager) and US Bank (Trustee)
5 portfolio options based on risk tolerance;
both active and passive management options
Annual Fees: 0.60% for assets under $5M
(0.25% for PARS + 0.35% for US Bank/HighMark)
8 Section 115 Trust – Selected Investment Portfolio
Staff met with PARS and Highmark’s
dedicated investment advisor to discuss
the details of how the City’s assets in the
Section 115 Trust will be invested
Staff and Highmark decided that investing
assets in a “Moderate” portfolio would
best suit the City based on the City’s
overall risk tolerance & projected need to
use funds in the Section 115 Trust as soon
as fiscal year 2027-28
The “Moderate” portfolio is the most
commonly selected investment strategy by
other PARS members
Passive investment option chosen to
minimize costs
*Each Investment Objective reflects the associated PARS Diversified Portfolio as of 6/30/2022. A client’s portfolio construction may vary depending on the client’s investment needs, objectives, and restrictions as well as the prevailing market conditions at the time of investment.
9 Pension Funding Policy
A formal Pension Funding Policy is recommended to memorialize the City’s strategy to manage long term pension costs; the policy is viewed as a credit rating positive The City’s Pension Funding Policy outlines several guidelines, including:
The City will prepay its annual UAL payment each July to achieve budgetary savings The City will have a target funded ratio of 90% for its pension plans The City will establish and maintain a Section 115 Trust dedicated to pensions The City will make annual contributions to the Trust equal to 20% of any realized year-end surplus remaining after all other City reserve policies have been met The City will consider ADPs within the context of its annual evaluation of reserve levels, budgetary requirements, funded ratio, and other metrics POBs would only ever be evaluated if interest rates are significantly below the CalPERS discount rate and a significant amount of analysis and risk assessment has been conducted and presented to City Council
10 Action Needed from City Council
1. Adopt the Section 115 Trust administered by PARS, with an initial investment of $3,000,000
2. Appoint the City’s Finance Director, or his/her successor or his/her designee as the City’s Plan Administrator for the Section 115 Trust
3. Authorize the City’s Plan Administrator to execute the Administrative Services Agreement with PARS
4. Adopt the Pension Funding Policy
