Advantages

• More realistic assumptions given the characteristics of the FPRS

• Minimizes the volatility and the gap between actuarial value of assets and market value of assets

• Mitigates the risk of creating future unfunded liabilities

• Does not eliminate market or inflation risk

Recommendation

• Execution of the Amended and Restated Contribution Agreement with the FPRS, and;

• Adoption of a Resolution authorizing the issuance of not to exceed the lesser of (i) $50 million of (II) the amount required to achieve a funding level for the FPRS of 85 percent based on the new actuarial assumptions and approving and authorizing the execution all the bond documents.
