General Employees’ Pension Board
Re: City of Titusville General Employees' Pension Plan Dear Board:
We are pleased to present to the Board this report of the annual actuarial valuation of the City of Titusville General Employees' Pension Plan. Included are the related results for GASB Statements No. 67 and No. 68. The funding valuation was performed to determine whether the assets and contributions are sufficient to provide the prescribed benefits and to develop the appropriate funding requirements for the applicable plan year. The calculation of the liability for GASB results was performed for the purpose of satisfying the requirements of GASB Statements No. 67 and No. 68. Use of the results for other purposes may not be applicable and may produce significantly different results.
The valuations have been conducted in accordance with generally accepted actuarial principles and practices, including the applicable Actuarial Standards of Practice as issued by the Actuarial Standards Board, and reflect laws and regulations issued to date pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 112, Florida Statutes, as well as applicable federal laws and regulations. In our opinion, the assumptions used in the valuations, as adopted by the Board of Trustees, represent reasonable expectations of anticipated plan experience.
The funding percentages and unfunded accrued liability as measured based on the actuarial value of assets will differ from similar measures based on the market value of assets. These measures, as provided, are appropriate for determining the adequacy of future contributions, but may not be appropriate for the purpose of settling a portion or all of its liabilities. Future actuarial measurements may differ significantly from the current measurements presented in this report for a variety of reasons including: changes in applicable laws, changes in plan provisions, changes in assumptions, or plan experience differing from expectations. Due to the limited scope of the valuations, we did not perform an analysis of the potential range of such future measurements.

In conducting the valuations, we have relied on personnel, plan design, and asset information supplied by the City of Titusville, financial reports prepared by the custodian bank, and the actuarial assumptions and methods described in the Actuarial Assumptions section of this report. While we cannot verify the accuracy of all this information, the supplied information was reviewed for consistency and reasonableness. As a result of this review, we have no reason to doubt the substantial accuracy of the information and believe that it has produced appropriate results. This information, along with any adjustments or modifications, is summarized in various sections of this report.
Additionally, we used third-party software to model (calculate) the underlying liabilities and costs. These results are reviewed in the aggregate and for individual sample lives. The output from the software is either used directly or input into internally developed models that apply the funding and accounting rules to generate the results. All internally developed models are reviewed as part of the valuation process. As a result of this review, we believe that the models have produced reasonable results. We do not believe there are any material inconsistencies among assumptions or unreasonable output produced due to the aggregation of assumptions.
The total pension liability, net pension liability, and certain sensitivity information shown in this report are based on an actuarial valuation performed as of October 1, 2020. The total pension liability was rolled-forward from the valuation date to the plan’s fiscal year ending September 30, 2021 using generally accepted actuarial principles. It is our opinion that the assumptions used for this purpose are internally consistent, reasonable, and comply with the requirements under GASB No. 67 and No. 68.
The undersigned are familiar with the immediate and long-term aspects of pension valuations, and meet the Qualification Standards of the American Academy of Actuaries necessary to render the actuarial opinions contained herein. All of the sections of this report are considered an integral part of the actuarial opinions.
To our knowledge, no associate of Foster & Foster, Inc. working on valuations of the program has any direct financial interest or indirect material interest in the City of Titusville, nor does anyone at Foster & Foster, Inc. act as a member of the Board of Trustees of the General Employees' Pension Plan. Thus, there is no relationship existing that might affect our capacity to prepare and certify this actuarial report.
If there are any questions, concerns, or comments about any of the items contained in this report, please contact us at 239-433-5500.

SUMMARY OF REPORT
The regular annual actuarial valuation of the City of Titusville General Employees' Pension Plan, performed as of October 1, 2021, has been completed and the results are presented in this Report. The contribution amounts set forth herein are applicable to the plan/fiscal year ending September 30, 2023.
The contribution requirements, compared with those set forth in the October 1, 2020 actuarial valuation report, are as follows:
Valuation Date | 10/1/2021 | 10/1/2020 |
Applicable to Fiscal Year Ending | 9/30/2023 | 9/30/2022 |
Minimum Required Contribution | $1,859,820 | $1,760,598 |
Member Contributions (Est.) | 386,118 | 369,091 |
City Required Contribution | $1,473,702 | $1,391,507 |
As you can see, the Minimum Required Contribution shows an increase when compared to the results determined in the October 1, 2020 actuarial valuation report. The increase is attributable to a Board- approved change of assumptions. The increase was offset in part by decreases caused by favorable experience and faster-than-expected amortization of the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) due to the City’s contribution policy.
Plan experience was favorable overall on the basis of the plan's actuarial assumptions. The primary source of actuarial gain was an investment return of 9.41% (Actuarial Asset Basis) which exceeded the 7.50% assumption. This gain was offset in part by a loss associated with inactive mortality experience.

Actuarial Assumption/Method Changes

STATEMENT BY ENROLLED ACTUARY
This actuarial valuation 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, and in my opinion, the techniques and assumptions used are reasonable and meet the requirements and intent of Part VII, Chapter 112, Florida Statutes. 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.

ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS AND METHODS
Mortality Rate
Healthy Active Lives:
Female: PubG.H-2010 for Employees.
Male: PubG.H-2010 (Below Median) for Employees, set back one year.
Healthy Retiree Lives:
Female: PubG.H-2010 for Healthy Retirees.
Male: PubG.H-2010 (Below Median) for Healthy Retirees, set back one year.
Beneficiary Lives:
Female: PubG.H-2010 (Below Median) for Healthy Retirees.
Male: PubG.H-2010 for Healthy Retirees, set back one year.
Disabled Lives:
PubG.H-2010 for Disabled Retirees, set forward three years.
All rates are projected generationally with Mortality Improvement Scale MP-2018. We feel this assumption sufficiently accommodates future mortality improvements.
The previously described mortality assumption rates were mandated by Chapter 2015-157, Laws of Florida. This law mandates the use of the assumptions used in either of the two most recent valuations of the Florida Retirement System (FRS). The above rates are those outlined in Milliman’s July 1, 2021 FRS valuation report for non-special-risk employees, with appropriate adjustments made based on plan demographics.
Interest Rate
7.25% (prior year 7.50%) per year compounded annually, net of investment related expenses. This is supported by the target asset allocation of the trust and the expected long-term return by asset class.
City of Titusville General Employees' Pension Plan FOSTER & FOSTER Pg. 17
ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS AND METHODS
Salary Increases
See table later in this section. This is based on the experience study dated August 20, 2018.
For Members eligible for Normal Retirement as of August 26, 2013:
Projected salary at retirement is increased 25% to account for non-regular compensation.
For Members not eligible for Normal Retirement as of August 26, 2013 with at least 10 years of service as of that date:
The projected frozen benefit as of August 26, 2013 includes a 25% load for the final year included in the averaging period.
For Members with less than 10 years of service as of August 26, 2013:
No load is assumed.
Payroll Growth
0.00% for purposes of amortizing the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability. This assumption cannot exceed the ten-year average payroll growth, in compliance with Part VII of Chapter 112, Florida Statutes.
Administrative Expenses
$101,713 annually, based on the average of actual expenses incurred in the prior two fiscal years.
Amortization Method
New UAAL amortization bases are amortized over 15 years.
Retirement Age
See table later in this section. This assumption is based on the experience study dated August 20, 2018.
Early Retirement
See table later in this section. This assumption is based on the experience study dated August 20, 2018.
Disability Rate
See table later in this section (1202 times 50%). This assumption is based on the experience study dated August 20, 2018.
Termination Rate
See table later in this section. This assumption is based on the experience study dated August 20, 2018.
City of Titusville General Employees' Pension Plan FOSTER & FOSTER Pg. 18
ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS AND METHODS
Asset Valuation Method
Each year, the prior Actuarial Value of Assets is brought forward utilizing the historical geometric 4-year average Market Value return. It is possible that over time this technique will produce an insignificant bias above or below Market Value.
Funding Method
Entry Age Normal Actuarial Cost Method. The following loads are applied for determination of the Sponsor funding requirement:
Interest – a half year, based on the current 7.25% (prior year 7.50%) assumption.
Salary – a full year based on the current 5.24% assumption.

GLOSSARY
Actuarial Value of Assets is the asset value used in the valuation to determine contribution requirements. It represents the plan’s Market Value of Assets (see below), with adjustments according to the plan’s Actuarial Asset Method. These adjustments produce a “smoothed” value that is likely to be less volatile from year to year than the Market Value of Assets.
Entry Age Normal Cost Method - Under this method, the normal cost is the sum of the individual normal costs for all active participants. For an active participant, the normal cost is the participant’s normal cost accrual rate, multiplied by the participant’s current compensation.
- The normal cost accrual rate equals:
- the present value of future benefits for the participant, determined as of the participant’s entry age, divided by
- the present value of the compensation expected to be paid to the participant for each year of the participant’s anticipated future service, determined as of the participant’s entry age.
- In calculating the present value of future compensation, the salary scale is applied both retrospectively and prospectively to estimate compensation in years prior to and subsequent to the valuation year based on the compensation used for the valuation.
- The accrued liability is the sum of the individual accrued liabilities for all participants and beneficiaries. A participant’s accrued liability equals the present value, at the participant’s attained age, of future benefits less the present value at the participant’s attained age of the individual normal costs payable in the future. A beneficiary’s accrued liability equals the present value, at the beneficiary’s attained age, of future benefits. The unfunded accrued liability equals the total accrued liability less the actuarial value of assets.
- Under this method, the entry age used for each active participant is the participant’s age at the time he or she would have commenced participation if the plan had always been in existence under current terms, or the age as of which he or she first earns service credits for purposes of benefit accrual under the current terms of the plan.
Market Value of Assets is the fair market value of plan assets as of the valuation date. This amount may be adjusted to produce an Actuarial Value of Assets for plan funding purposes.
Normal (Current Year's) Cost is the current year's cost for benefits yet to be funded. Under the Entry Age Normal cost method, it is determined for each participant as the present value of future benefits, determined as of the Member’s entry age, amortized as a level percentage of compensation over the anticipated number of years of participation, determined as of the entry age.
Present Value of Benefits is the single sum value on the valuation date of all future benefits to be paid to current plan participants.
Total Annual Payroll is the projected annual rate of pay for the fiscal year beginning on the valuation date of all covered Members.
City of Titusville General Employees' Pension Plan FOSTER & FOSTER Pg. 21
GLOSSARY
Total Required Contribution is equal to the Normal Cost plus an amount sufficient to amortize the Unfunded Accrued Liability over no more than 30 years. The required amount is adjusted for interest according to the timing of contributions during the year.
Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) is the difference between the actuarial accrued liability (described above) and the Actuarial Value of Assets. Under the Entry Age Normal Actuarial Cost Method, an actuarial gain or loss, based on actual versus expected UAAL, is determined in conjunction with each valuation of the plan.

DISCUSSION OF RISK
ASOP No. 51, Assessment and Disclosure of Risk Associated with Measuring Pension Obligations and Determining Pension Plan Contributions, states that the actuary should identify risks that, in the actuary’s professional judgment, may reasonably be anticipated to significantly affect the plan’s future financial condition.
Throughout this report, actuarial results are determined using various actuarial assumptions. These results are based on the premise that all future plan experience will align with the plan’s actuarial
assumptions; however, there is no guarantee that actual plan experience will align with the plan’s assumptions. It is possible that actual plan experience will differ from anticipated experience in an unfavorable manner that will negatively impact the plan’s funded position.
Below are examples of ways in which plan experience can deviate from assumptions and the potential impact of that deviation. Typically, this results in an actuarial gain or loss representing the current-year financial impact on the plan’s unfunded liability of the experience differing from assumptions; this gain or loss is amortized over a period of time determined by the plan’s amortization method. When assumptions are selected that adequately reflect plan experience, gains and losses typically offset one another in the long term, resulting in a relatively low impact on the plan’s contribution requirements associated with plan experience. When assumptions are too optimistic, losses can accumulate over time and the plan’s amortization payment could potentially grow to an unmanageable level.
- Investment Return: When the rate of return on the Actuarial Value of Assets falls short of the assumption, this produces a loss representing assumed investment earnings that were not realized. Further, it is unlikely that the plan will experience a scenario that matches the assumed return in each year as capital markets can be volatile from year to year. Therefore, contribution amounts can vary in the future.
- Salary Increases: When a plan participant experiences a salary increase that was greater than assumed, this produces a loss representing the cost of an increase in anticipated plan benefits for the participant as compared to the previous year. The total gain or loss associated with salary increases for the plan is the sum of salary gains and losses for all active participants.
- Demographic Assumptions: Actuarial results take into account various potential events that could happen to a plan participant, such as retirement, termination, disability, and death. Each of these potential events is assigned a liability based on the likelihood of the event and the financial consequence of the event for the plan. Accordingly, actuarial liabilities reflect a blend of financial consequences associated with various possible outcomes (such as retirement at one of various possible ages). Once the outcome is known (e.g. the participant retires) the liability is adjusted to reflect the known outcome. This adjustment produces a gain or loss depending on whether the outcome was more or less favorable than other outcomes that could have occurred.
City of Titusville General Employees' Pension Plan FOSTER & FOSTER Pg. 25
DISCUSSION OF RISK
Impact of Plan Maturity on Risk
For newer pension plans, most of the participants and associated liabilities are related to active members who have not yet reached retirement age. As pension plans continue in operation and active members reach retirement ages, liabilities begin to shift from being primarily related to active members to being shared amongst active and retired members. Plan maturity is a measure of the extent to which this shift has occurred. It is important to understand that plan maturity can have an impact on risk tolerance and the overall risk characteristics of the plan. For example, closed plans with a large amount of retired liability do not have as long of a time horizon to recover from losses (such as losses on investments due to lower than expected investment returns) as plans where the majority of the liability is attributable to active members. For this reason, less tolerance for investment risk may be warranted for highly mature closed plans with a substantial inactive liability. Similarly, mature closed plans paying substantial retirement benefits resulting in a small positive or net negative cash flow can be more sensitive to near term investment volatility, particularly if the size of the fund is shrinking, which can result in less assets being available for investment in the market.
To assist with determining the maturity of the plan, we have provided some relevant metrics in the table following titled “Plan Maturity Measures and Other Risk Metrics”. Highlights of this information are discussed below:
- The Support Ratio, determined as the ratio of active to inactive members, has decreased from 73.7% on October 1, 2011 to 64.4% on October 1, 2021, indicating that the plan has been maturing during the period.
- The Accrued Liability Ratio, determined as the ratio of the Inactive Accrued Liability, which is the liability associated with members who are no longer employed but are due a benefit from the plan, to the Total Accrued Liability, is 74.1%. With a plan of this maturity, losses due to lower than expected investment returns or demographic factors may result in larger increases in contribution requirements than would be needed for a less mature plan. Please note Chapter 112, Florida Statutes, requires that the plan sponsor contributes the minimum required contribution; thus, there is minimal solvency risk to the plan.
- The Funded Ratio, determined as the ratio of the Actuarial Value of Assets to the Total Accrued Liability, has increased from 67.1% on October 1, 2011 to 94.9% on October 1, 2021.
- The Net Cash Flow Ratio, determined as the ratio of the Net Cash Flow (contributions minus benefit payments and administrative expenses) to the Market Value of Assets, decreased from -1.7% on October 1, 2011 to -3.7% on October 1, 2021. The current Net Cash Flow Ratio of-3.7%indicates that contributions are not currently covering the plan's benefit payments and administrative expenses.
It is important to note that the actuary has identified the risks in this section as the most significant risks based on the characteristics of the plan and the nature of the project, however, it is not an exhaustive list of potential risks that could be considered. Additional advanced modeling, as well as the identification of additional risks, can be provided at the request of the audience addressed on page 2 of this report.

NET PENSION LIABILITY OF THE SPONSOR
The components of the Net Pension Liability of the Sponsor on September 30, 2021 were as follows:
Total Pension Liability | $70,734,476 |
Plan Fiduciary Net Position | $(73,155,076) |
Sponsor's Net Pension Liability | $(2,420,600) |
Plan Fiduciary Net Position as a percentage of Total Pension Liability | 103.42% |
Actuarial Assumptions:
The Total Pension Liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of October 1, 2020 updated to September 30, 2021 using the following actuarial assumptions:
Inflation = 2.5%
Salary Increases = Service based
Discount Rate = 7.25%
Investment Rate of Return = 7.25%
Mortality Rate Healthy Active Lives:
Female:
PubG.H-2010 for Employees.
Male:
PubG.H-2010 (Below Median) for Employees, set back one year.
Mortality Rate Healthy Retiree Lives:
Female:
PubG.H-2010 for Healthy Retirees.
Male:
PubG.H-2010 (Below Median) for Healthy Retirees, set back one year.
Mortality Rate Beneficiary Lives:
Female:
PubG.H-2010 (Below Median) for Healthy Retirees.
Male:
PubG.H-2010 for Healthy Retirees, set back one year.
Mortality Rate Disabled Lives:
PubG.H-2010 for Disabled Retirees, set forward three years.
All rates are projected generationally with Mortality Improvement Scale MP-2018. We feel this assumption sufficiently accommodates future mortality improvements.
The previously described mortality assumption rates were mandated by Chapter 2015-157, Laws of Florida. This law mandates the use of the assumptions used in either of the two most recent valuations of the Florida Retirement System (FRS). The above rates are those outlined in Milliman’s July 1, 2020 FRS valuation report for non-special-risk employees, with appropriate adjustments made based on plan demographics.
The most recent actuarial experience study used to review the other significant assumptions was dated August 20, 2018.
The Long-Term Expected Rate of Return on Pension Plan investments can be determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of Pension Plan investment expenses and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
For 2021 the inflation rate assumption of the investment advisor was 2.50%.
These ranges are combined to produce the Long-Term Expected Rate of Return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation.
City of Titusville General Employees' Pension Plan FOSTER & FOSTER Pg. 45
GASB 67
Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included in the Pension Plan's target asset allocation as of September 30, 2021 are summarized in the following table:
Asset Class | Long Term Expected Real Rate of Return (Note1) |
---|---|
All Cap Value Equity | 7.50% |
Broad Growth Equity | 7.50% |
Foreign Equity Securities | 8.50% |
Broad Market Fixed Income | 2.50% |
Global Bond | 3.50% |
Real Estate | 4.50% |
(Note 1) Source: AndCo Consulting
Discount Rate:
The Discount Rate used to measure the Total Pension Liability was 7.25 percent.
The projection of cash flows used to determine the Discount Rate assumed that Plan Member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that Sponsor contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined contribution rates and the Member rate. Based on those assumptions, the Pension Plan's Fiduciary Net Position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the Long-Term Expected Rate of Return on Pension Plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the Total Pension Liability.

Sponsor's Net Pension Liability | $4,846,497 | $ (2,420,600) | $ (8,562,834) |

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(For the Year Ended September 30, 2021)
Plan Administration
The Plan is a single-employer defined benefit pension plan administered by the Plan's Board of Trustees comprised of: three full-time General Employees of the System elected by the Membership, one General Employee appointed by the Board and confirmed by the City Manager, one citizen selected by the Board and appointed by the City Council as a ministerial duty.
Each person employed by the City as a full-time General Employee becomes a member of the Plan as a condition of his employment. All General Employees are therefore eligible for all plan benefits, as provided for in the plan document and by applicable law, except that the City Manager, City Attorney or Asst. City Attorney may notify the Board and the City, within the first 12 months of his employment as City Manager, City Attorney or Asst. City Attorney, of his election to not be a member of the system. In the event of such election, he shall be barred from future membership in the system.
Plan Membership as of October 1, 2020:
Inactive plan Members of Beneficiaries Currently Receiving Benefits | 376 |
Inactive Plan Member Entitled to But Not Yet Receiving Benefits | 172 |
Active Plan Members | 300 |
Total | 848 |
Benefits Provided
The Plan provides retirement, termination, disability and death benefits.
A summary of the benefit provisions can be found in the October 1, 2020 Actuarial Valuation Report for the City of Titusville General Employees' Pension Plan prepared by Foster & Foster Actuaries and Consultants.
Contributions
Members: 2.50% of Salary.
City: Remaining amount necessary tp pay the Normal Cost and fund the accrued, past service liability over 30 years.
Net Pension Liability
The measurement date is September 30, 2021.
The measurement period for the pension expense was October 1, 2020 to September 30, 2021.
The reporting period is October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021.
The Sponsor's Net Pension Liability was measured as of September 30, 2021.
The Total Pension Liability used to calculate the Net Pension Liability was determined as of that date.
Actuarial Assumptions:
The Total Pension Liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of October 1, 2020 updated to September 30, 2021 using the following actuarial assumptions:
Inflation = 2.50%
Salary Increases = Service based
Discount Rate = 7.25%
Investment Rate of Return = 7.25%
City of Titusville General Employees' Pension Plan FOSTER & FOSTER Pg. 50

Mortality Rate Healthy Active Lives:
Female:
PubG.H-2010 for Employees.
Male:
PubG.H-2010 (Below Median) for Employees, set back one year.
Mortality Rate Healthy Retiree Lives:
Female:
PubG.H-2010 for Healthy Retirees.
Male:
PubG.H-2010 (Below Median) for Healthy Retirees, set back one year.
Mortality Rate Beneficiary Lives:
Female:
PubG.H-2010 (Below Median) for Healthy Retirees.
Male:
PubG.H-2010 for Healthy Retirees, set back one year.
Mortality Rate Disabled Lives:
PubG.H-2010 for Disabled Retirees, set forward three years.
All rates are projected generationally with Mortality Improvement Scale MP-2018. We feel this assumption sufficiently accommodates future mortality improvements.
The previously described mortality assumption rates were mandated by Chapter 2015-157, Laws of Florida. This law mandates the use of the assumptions used in either of the two most recent valuations of the Florida Retirement System (FRS). The above rates are those outlined in Milliman’s July 1, 2020 FRS valuation report for non-special-risk employees, with appropriate adjustments made based on plan demographics.
The most recent actuarial experience study used to review the other significant assumptions was dated August 20, 2018.
The Long-Term Expected Rate of Return on Pension Plan investments can be determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of Pension Plan investment expenses and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
For 2021 the inflation rate assumption of the investment advisor was 2.50%.
These ranges are combined to produce the Long-Term Expected Rate of Return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation.
Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included in the Pension Plan's target asset allocation as of September 30, 2021 are summarized in the following table:
Asset Class | Target Allocation | Long Term Expected Real Rate of Return (Note1) |
---|---|---|
All Cap Value Equity | 27.5% | 7.50% |
Broad Growth Equity | 27.5% | 7.50% |
Foreign Equity Securities | 10.0% | 8.50% |
Broad Market Fixed Income | 20.0% | 2.50% |
Global Bond | 5.0% | 3.50% |
Real Estate | 10.0% | 4.50% |
Total | 100.0% | NO DATA |
(Note 1) Source: AndCo Consulting
Discount Rate:
The Discount Rate used to measure the Total Pension Liability was 7.25 percent.
The projection of cash flows used to determine the Discount Rate assumed that Plan Member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that Sponsor contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined contribution rates and the Member rate. Based on those assumptions, the Pension Plan's Fiduciary Net Position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the Long-Term Expected Rate of Return on Pension Plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the Total Pension Liability.
