February 13, 2018 Bal Harbour Pension Board/Committee Bal Harbour Village 655 96th Street Bal Harbour Village, FL 33154 Board/Committee Members: The results of the October 1, 2017 Annual Actuarial Valuation of the Bal Harbour Village General Employees’ Pension Plan are presented in this report. The computed contribution rate shown on page 1 may be considered as a minimum contribution rate that complies with the Board’s funding policy. Users of this report should be aware that contributions made at that rate do not guarantee benefit security. Given the importance of benefit security to any retirement system, we suggest that contributions to the Plan in excess of those presented in this report be considered. The contribution rate in this report is determined using the actuarial assumptions and methods disclosed in Section A of this report. This report includes risk metrics in Section B but does not include a more robust assessment of the risks of future experience not meeting the actuarial assumptions. Additional assessments of risks were outside the scope of this assignment. We encourage a review and assessment of investment and other significant risks that may have a material effect on the Plan’s financial condition. This report was prepared at the request of the Board and is intended for use by the Retirement Plan and those designated or approved by the Board. This report may be provided to parties other than the Plan only in its entirety and only with the permission of the Board. GRS is not responsible for unauthorized use of this report. The purposes of the valuation are to measure the Plan’s funding progress and to determine the employer contribution rate for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019. This report should not be relied on for any purpose other than the purposes described herein. Determinations of financial results associated with the benefits described in this report, for purposes other than those identified above may be significantly different. The findings in this report are based on data or other information through September 30, 2017. 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; increases or decreases expected as part of the natural operation of the methodology used for these measurements (such as the end of an amortization period or additional cost or contribution requirements based on the plan’s funded status); and changes in plan provisions or applicable law. The scope of an actuarial valuation does not include an analysis of the potential range of such future measurements. This valuation assumed the continuing ability of the plan sponsor to make the contributions necessary to fund this plan. A determination regarding whether or not the plan sponsor is actually able to do so is outside our scope of expertise and was not performed.
Bal Harbour Pension Board/Committee February 13, 2018 Page 2
The valuation was based upon information furnished by the Plan Administrator concerning Plan benefits, financial transactions, plan provisions and active members, terminated members, retirees and beneficiaries. We checked for internal reasonability and year-to-year consistency, but did not otherwise audit the data. We are not responsible for the accuracy or completeness of the information provided by the Plan Administrator. In addition, this report was prepared using certain assumptions prescribed by the Board and prescribed by the Florida Statutes as described in the section of this report entitled Actuarial Assumptions and Cost Method. The prescribed assumptions are the assumed mortality rates detailed in the Actuarial Assumptions and Cost Method section in accordance with Florida House Bill 1309 (codified in Chapter 2015-157). This report has been prepared by actuaries who have substantial experience valuing public employee retirement systems. To the best of our knowledge the information contained in this report is accurate and fairly presents the actuarial position of the Bal Harbour Village General Employees’ Pension Plan as of the valuation date. All calculations have been made in conformity with generally accepted actuarial principles and practices, with the Actuarial Standards of Practice issued by the Actuarial Standards Board and with applicable statutes. James J. Rizzo and Piotr Krekora are members of the American Academy of Actuaries. These actuaries meet the Academy’s Qualification Standards to render the actuarial opinions contained herein. The signing actuaries are independent of the plan sponsor. Gabriel, Roeder, Smith & Company will be pleased to review this valuation report with the Board of Trustees and to answer any questions pertaining to the valuation.

Statement by Enrolled Actuary This actuarial valuation and/or cost determination was prepared and completed by me or under my direct supervision, and I acknowledge responsibility for the results. To the best of my knowledge, the results are complete and accurate. In my opinion, the techniques and assumptions used are reasonable, meet the requirements and intent of Part VII, Chapter 112, Florida Statutes, and are based on generally accepted actuarial principles and practices. There is no benefit or expense to be provided by the plan and/or paid from the plan's assets for which liabilities or current costs have not been established or otherwise taken into account in the valuation. All known events or trends which may require a material increase in plan costs or required contribution rates have been taken into account in the valuation.

DISCUSSION OF VALUATION RESULTS

DISCUSSION OF VALUATION RESULTS
Comparison of Actuarially Determined Contribution
The following is a comparison of required contributions developed in this year's and the last actuarial valuations:
Actuarially Determined Contribution $ 957,499 $ 793,089 $ 164,410As % of Expected Payroll 55.68 % 57.24 % (1.56) %
Based on 10/01/17
(Decrease)Valuation Valuation
IncreaseBased on 10/01/16
For FYE 9/30/2019 For FYE 9/30/2018
Minimum Required Contribution
As can be seen in the preceding chart, the Village contribution necessary to support the current benefits for the General Employees is $957,499 for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2018. Please note that the Actuarially Determined Contribution for that fiscal year is assumed to be deposited during the first quarter of the contribution year, consistent with the recent practice. The contribution shown above may be considered as a minimum contribution that complies with the Board’s funding policy and the State Statute. Users of this report should be aware that contributions made at that rate do not guarantee benefit security. Given the importance of benefit security to any retirement system, we suggest that contributions to the System in excess of those presented in this report be considered.
Revisions in Funding Policy
There were no revisions in funding policy for the current year.
Revisions in Benefits
There were no revisions in benefits for the current year.
Revisions in Actuarial Assumptions or Methods
The expected rate of return on plan assets has been lowered from 6.25% to 6.00% annually. This is closer to the mainstream consensus of the 50th percentile expectations of compound returns for the mid-term, using this plan’s current asset allocations. Major national investment consulting and forecasting firms are not as optimistic about returns over the next 10 years (or more) as they had been in the past. This change increased the required contribution by $72,066 or 4.19% of pay.
Actuarial Experience
For the current year, the Plan experienced an actuarial loss. Actuarial gains occur in a year whenever the experience of the plan is more favorable than was assumed. For example, if investment performance were better than the level being assumed in the actuarial valuation and costing process, then an actuarial gain results and would have the effect of lowering the Actuarially Determined Contribution for the year. Actuarial
Bal Harbour Village General Employees’ Pension Plan A-2
gains occur whenever more employees terminate employment than were assumed would terminate or when fewer than expected employees are to actually retire from the Village. Actuarial losses occur in a year whenever the experience of the plan is less favorable than was assumed. In the examples given above, if the reverse were to occur, then actuarial losses would result. As another example, if salaries increased in one year higher than was assumed, an actuarial loss would occur.
The actuarial valuation cost method which determines the Actuarially Determined Contribution is designed to produce contribution requirements which remain level as a percent of payroll whenever the experience of the plan matches the actuarial assumptions used. Contribution requirements are also level whenever actuarial losses exactly offset actuarial gains.
The plan experienced a net actuarial loss this year, primarily due to an increase in the number of active members. Furthermore, salaries for continuing employees increased on average at 7.0% which is higher than the assumed average 5.1%. The liability losses were partially offset by an investment gain due to the rate of return on valuation asset exceeding the expected return (7.3% actual vs. 6.25% assumed).
Analysis of Change in Actuarially Determined Contribution
The Actuarially Determined Contribution expressed as a percent of payroll is less than determined in the prior valuation. The components of change in the Determined Contribution are as follows:
Contribution rate last year 57.24 %
Payment on UAAL prior to changes (if any) (6.68)
Experience (gain)/loss 2.21
Change in administrative expense (0.67)
Change in normal cost before expenses (0.61)
Revision in benefits 0.00
Revision in assumptions/methods 4.19
Contribution rate this year 55.68
It is worth noting that the payment to amortize the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability before recognizing this year’s experience decreased when expressed as a percent of payroll. However, this is a result of an increase in the valuation payroll without significant change in the dollar amount.
The remainder of this Report includes detailed actuarial valuation results, financial information, miscellaneous information and statistics, and a summary of plan provisions.
Excess Benefit Plan
Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 415 limits benefits payable by the Plan to an annual amount actuarially adjusted based on the age of the retiree at the date of distribution and the form of benefit. Contribution requirements and liabilities reported herein are based on the benefits that are limited according to those restrictions. The Village has created the Excess Benefit Plan to avoid reductions in the benefits otherwise payable to participants. The Excess Benefit Plan will pay the difference between the total benefit contractually promised to a member and the limit imposed on the pension fund by IRC Section 415. The Excess Benefit Plan will be paying a significant portion of the total annual benefit payable to now-retired Village Manager in accordance with IRC Section 415 and the Plan’s Ordinance. This portion, which is a liability of the Village, is the subject of separate Actuarial Valuation Report. No other employees are currently subject to the IRC Section 415 limits.

FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE PLAN
The purpose of this portion of the Report is to provide certain measures which indicate the financial position of the program. Measures presented below illustrate short-term and long term position of the plan.
The various percentages listed in this Section as of a single valuation date are not overly significant standing alone. What is more significant is the trend of the rates over a period of years. It is also important to keep in mind that each time there are revised benefits or assumptions, actuarial liabilities are created or diminished. Any newly created liabilities are financed systematically over a period of future years. All actuarially computed values in this analysis are based on the actuarial assumptions utilized in the respective years' actuarial valuations.
Short Term Position
The ultimate test of financial soundness is the program's ability to pay all promised benefits when due. The program's progress in accumulating assets to pay all promised benefits can be measured by comparing the market value of assets with:
1. Accumulated contributions of active members of the program,
2. The actuarial present value (APV) of projected benefits payable to those already receiving benefits and tovested terminations, and
3. The employer financed portion of the actuarial present value of accrued benefits payable to activeparticipants. This amount is based on benefits earned to date without future credited service or salaryincreases.
The total of the first two items should generally be fully covered by assets. The portion of the third item covered by assets should increase over time. Increases in benefits will, of course, adversely affect the trend in the years when such increases are first reflected in the actuarial values.

Increases in benefits will, of course, adversely affect the trend in the years when such increases are first reflected in the actuarial values. Although different actuarial assumptions would be used in the event of a termination of the program, this test shows how much of the benefits accrued to date might be covered by assets in the event of a plan freeze with all active members future careers modeled using the valuation assumptions.
Bal Harbour Village General Employees’ Pension Plan B-7
Long Term Position Over the longer term, the solvency of an ongoing plan can be measured by comparing the Actuarial Value of Assets to an amount known as the Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL) under the Entry Age Actuarial Cost Method. This item has often been called the "past service liability" but it should not be used to assess a settlement value. Its derivation differs from the short term solvency value derivation in several ways, but mainly due to the fact that future salary increases are included in the AAL. As in the case of the short term solvency values, the AAL is affected immediately by any revisions in benefits or assumptions. The accumulation of assets to equal the AAL can be considered a long range funding goal.

ACTUARIAL GAINS AND LOSSES
The assumptions used to anticipate mortality, employment turnover, investment income, expenses, salary increases, and other factors have been based on long range trends and expectations. Actual experience can vary from these expectations. The variance is measured by the gain and loss for the period involved. If significant long term experience reveals consistent deviation from what has been expected and that deviation is expected to continue, the assumptions should be modified. The net actuarial gain (loss) for the past year is computed as follows:
1. Last Year's UAAL $4,411,584
2. Last Year's Employer Normal Cost 332,943
3. Last Year's Actual City Contibution 745,601
4. Interest at the assumed rate on:
a. 1 and 2 for one year 296,533
b. 3 from dates paid 43,058
c. a - b 253,475
5. This Year's Expected UAAL
1 + 2 - 3 + 4c 4,252,401
6. This Year's Actual UAAL (before any
changes in benefits or assumptions) 4,676,268
7. Net Actuarial Gain (Loss): (5) - (6) (423,867)

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Actuarial Accrued Liability
The difference between (i) the actuarial present value of future plan benefits, and (ii) the actuarial present value of future normal cost. Sometimes referred to as “accrued liability” or “past service liability.”
Accrued Service The service credited under the plan which was rendered before the date of the
actuarial valuation. Actuarial Assumptions Estimates of future plan experience with respect to rates of mortality, disability,
turnover, retirement, rate or rates of investment income and salary increases. Decrement assumptions (rates of mortality, disability, turnover and retirement) are generally based on past experience, often modified for projected changes in conditions. Economic assumptions (salary increases and investment income) consist of an underlying rate in an inflation-free environment plus a provision for a long-term average rate of inflation.
Actuarial Cost Method
A mathematical budgeting procedure for allocating the dollar amount of the “actuarial present value of future plan benefits” between the actuarial present value of future normal cost and the actuarial accrued liability. Sometimes referred to as the “actuarial funding method.”
Actuarial Equivalent A single amount or series of amounts of equal value to another single amount or

ACTUARIAL VALUE OF ASSETS
As of October 1, 2017
Valuation assets are calculated using a smoothed market value over a period of five (5) years, as prescribed under Internal Revenue Procedure 2000-40. The asset value determined under this method will be adjusted to be no greater than 120% and no less than 80% of the fair market value. Under this method, the actuarial value of assets is equal to the market value of assets less a decreasing fraction (1/nth per year, where n equals the number of years in the smoothing period) of the gain or loss for each of the preceding 4 years. Under this method, a gain or loss for a year is determined by calculating the difference between the expected market value of the assets at the valuation date and the actual market value of the assets at the valuation date. The expected value of the assets for the year is the market value of the assets at the valuation date for the prior year brought forward with interest at the valuation interest rate to the valuation date for the current year plus contributions minus disbursements (i.e., benefits paid and expenses), all adjusted with interest at the valuation rate to the valuation date for the current year. If the expected value is less than the market value, the difference is a gain. Conversely, if the expected value is greater than the market value, the difference is a loss. Calculation of Valuation Assets is shown on the following page.

INVESTMENT RATE OF RETURN The investment rate of return has been calculated on the following bases:
Basis 1 - Market Value: Interest, dividends, realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) divided by the beginning market value of the fund, adjusted for cash flow during the year.
Basis 2 - Actuarial Value: Investment earnings recognized in the Actuarial Value of Assets divided by the weighted average of the Actuarial Value of Assets during the year.
Rates of return for years ended prior to September 30, 2000 are based on the combined assets of the General Employees and Police Officers’ Pension Plan.
