Board of Trustees of the
Village of North Palm Beach
General Retirement Fund
North Palm Beach, Florida
Dear Board Members:
The results of the October 1, 2013 Actuarial Valuation of the Village of North Palm Beach General
Retirement Fund are presented in this report.
This report was prepared at the request of the Board and is intended for use by the Retirement Fund and
those designated or approved by the Board. This report may be provided to parties other than the Fund only
in its entirety and only with the permission of the Board.
The purpose of the valuation is to measure the Fund's funding progress, to determine the employer
contribution rate for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2015 and to determine the actuarial information
for Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 25 and No. 27.
This report should not be relied on for any purpose other than the purpose described above.
The findings in this report are based on data or other information through September 30, 2013. 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 valuation was based upon information furnished by the Village concerning Retirement Plan benefits,
financial transactions, plan provisions and active members, terminated members, retirees and beneficiaries.
We checked for internal 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 Village.
This report was prepared using certain assumptions prescribed by the Board as described in Section B.
The undersigned actuaries are members of the American Academy of Actuaries and meet the Qualification
Standards of the American Academy of Actuaries to render the actuarial opinions contained herein. The
signing actuaries are independent of the plan sponsor.
This report has been prepared by actuaries who have substantial experience valuing public employee
retirement Funds. To the best of our knowledge the information contained in this report is accurate and
fairly presents the actuarial position of the Retirement 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.

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.
Respectfully submitted,

DISCUSSION OF VALUATION RESULTS
Comparison of Required Employer Contributions
A comparison of the required employer contribution developed in this year's and last year's actuarial
valuations is as follows:
The contribution has been adjusted for interest on the basis that employer contributions are made in
equal payments on a bi- weekly basis. The required contribution dollar amounts shown above are estimates
only. The actual contribution should be based on the required percentage multiplied by actual payroll for
the fiscal year.
The actual employer contribution during the year ending September 30, 2013 was $579,118 or
19.86% of payroll based on a payroll amount of $2,916,002. The minimum required contribution was
19.86% of payroll.
Revisions in Benefits
There were no changes in benefit provisions since the prior valuation.
Revisions in Actuarial Assumptions or Methods
There were no changes in actuarial assumptions or methods since the prior valuation.
The Actuarial Standard of Practice (ASOP) No. 35 Disclosure Section 4.1.1 states "The disclosure
of the mortality assumption should contain sufficient detail to permit another qualified actuary to understand
the provision made for future mortality improvement. If the actuary assumes zero mortality improvement

the fiscal year.
The actual employer contribution during the year ending September 30, 2013 was $579,118 or
19.86% of payroll based on a payroll amount of $2,916,002. The minimum required contribution was
19.86% of payroll.
Revisions in Benefits
There were no changes in benefit provisions since the prior valuation.
Revisions in Actuarial Assumptions or Methods
There were no changes in actuarial assumptions or methods since the prior valuation.
The Actuarial Standard of Practice (ASOP) No. 35 Disclosure Section 4.1.1 states "The disclosure
of the mortality assumption should contain sufficient detail to permit another qualified actuary to understand
the provision made for future mortality improvement. If the actuary assumes zero mortality improvement
GRS
2
after the measurement date, the actuary should state that no provision was made for future mortality
improvement." The mortality assumption currently does not reflect future mortality improvements beyond
2010. We recommend the mortality assumption be revised to include a provision for mortality
improvements after 2010. Detail on this assumption can be found in the Actuarial Assumptions and
Actuarial Cost Method section.
Actuarial Experience
There was an actuarial gain of $557,380 for the year which means that actual experience was more
favorable than expected. The gain was primarily due to lower than expected salary increases (2.5% versus
5.5% assumed), more terminations than expected, and fewer retirements than expected. There was also a
small gain due to the recognized asset return (on the smoothed actuarial value of assets) of 7.6% versus the
assumed return of 7.5 %. The return on market value was 11.5 %. The net actuarial gain for the year
translates into a decrease in annual employer contribution rate of 2.62% of covered payroll.
Analysis of Change in Employer Contributions
The components of change in the required contribution are as follows:
Contribution rate last year
20.82 %
Change in actuarial assumptions
0.00
Payment on unfunded liability
1.33
Experience gain/loss
(2.62)
Change in administrative expense
0.01
Contribution rate this year 19.54
Funded Ratio
The funded ratio this year is 78.8% compared to 71.6% last year. The ratio is equal to the actuarial
value of assets divided by the actuarial accrued (past service) liability.
Variability of Future Contribution Rates
It is important to keep in mind that under the asset smoothing method, the difference between
actual and expected return is recognized over five years. As of September 30, 2013, the market value of
GRS
3
assets exceeds the actuarial value by $397,192. Once all the gains and losses through September 30, 2013
are fully recognized in the actuarial value of assets, the contribution rate will decrease by roughly 1.9% of
payroll unless there are further gains and losses.
If we were not using an asset smoothing method, the contribution rate would have been 17.7 %,
and the funded ratio would have been 82.0 %.
Another potential area of variability has to do with the annual payment on the unfunded accrued
liability (UAL). This payment is computed as a level percent of covered payroll under the assumption that
covered payroll will rise by 4% per year. According to the Florida Administrative Code, this payroll
growth assumption may not exceed the average growth over the last ten years which was (2.35) %.
Therefore, the UAL is being amortized as a level dollar amount.
Conclusion
The remainder of this Report includes detailed actuarial valuation results, financial information,
miscellaneous information and statistics, and a summary of plan provisions.

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 has been computed as follows:
A. Employer Normal Cost as a
Percentage of Covered Payroll
1. Last Valuation 14.80 %
2. Current Valuation 12.28
3. Difference: 1 - 2 2.52

ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS AND COST METHOD
Valuation Methods
Actuarial Cost Method — Normal cost and the allocation of benefit values between service rendered
before and after the valuation date were determined using the Frozen Entry-Age Actuarial Cost Method.
The excess of the Actuarial Present Value of Projected Benefits of the group included in the valuation,
over the sum of the Actuarial Value of Assets, the Unfunded Frozen Actuarial Accrued Liability and the
Actuarial Present Value of Future Member Contribution (if any) is allocated as a level percentage of
earnings of the group between the valuation date and the assumed retirement age. This allocation is
performed for the group as a whole, not as a sum of individual allocations. The portion of this Actuarial
Present Value allocated to a specific year is called the Employer Normal Cost.
Under this method, actuarial gains (losses) reduce (increase) future Normal Costs.
Financing of Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liabilities - Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liabilities (full
funding credit if assets exceed liabilities) were amortized by level (principal & interest combined)
percent -of- payroll contributions over a reasonable period of future years.
Actuarial Value of Assets - The Actuarial Value of Assets phases in the difference between the expected
return on the actuarial value of assets and the actual return on the market of assets at the rate of 20% per
year. The Actuarial Value of Assets is further adjusted to the extent necessary to fall within the corridor
whose lower limit is 80% of the Market Value of plan assets and whose upper limit is 120% of the
Market Value of plan assets. During periods when investment performance exceeds the assumed rate,
Actuarial Value of Assets will tend to be less than Market Value. During periods when investment
performance is less than assumed rate, Actuarial Value of Assets will tend to be greater than Market
Value.
Valuation Assumptions
The actuarial assumptions used in the valuation are shown in this Section.
Economic Assumptions
The investment return rate assumed in the valuation is 7.5% per year, compounded annually (net after
investment expenses).
The Wage Inflation Rate assumed in this valuation was 4% per year. The Wage Inflation Rate is
defined to be the portion of total pay increases for an individual that are due to macro economic forces
including productivity, price inflation, and labor market conditions. The wage inflation rate does not
include pay changes related to individual merit and seniority effects.
The assumed real rate of return over wage inflation is defined to be the portion of total investment
return that is more than the assumed wage inflation rate. Considering other economic assumptions, the
7.5% investment return rate translates to an assumed real rate of return over wage inflation of 3.5 %.
The active member population is assumed to remain constant. For purposes of financing the unfunded
liabilities, total payroll is assumed to grow at 4% per year. According to the Florida Administrative Code,
this payroll growth assumption may not exceed the average growth over the last ten years. The most
recent ten year average is (2.35) %. Therefore, the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability is being
GRS
18
amortized as a level dollar amount.
The payroll growth assumption used to project total covered payroll to the following fiscal year is 4%
per year.
The rate of salary increase for individual members is assumed to be 5.5% per year. This assumption is
used to project a member's current salary to salaries upon which benefits will be based.
Demographic Assumptions
The mortality table was the RP 2000 Combined Healthy Participant Mortality Tables for males and
females projected to 2010. The provision for projecting future mortality improvements through 2010 is
being made by using Scale AA. There is no allowance for mortality improvements after 2010.
This assumption is used to measure the probabilities of each benefit payment being made after retirement.
For active members, the probabilities of dying before retirement were based upon the same mortality table
as members dying after retirement. For disabled retirees, the regular mortality tables are set forward 5 years
in ages to reflect impaired longevity.
As noted in the Discussion of Valuation Results section, we recommend that the mortality assumption be
revised to reflect a provision for mortality improvements after 2010. Sample values of the current and
proposed life expectancies are shown in the tables below.

Miscellaneous and Technical Assumptions
Administrative & Investment The investment return assumption is intended to be the return net of
Expenses investment expenses. Annual administrative expenses are assumed to
be equal to the average of the prior two years' expenses. Assumed
administrative expenses are added to the Normal Cost.
Benefit Service Exact fractional service is used to determine the amount of benefit
payable.
Decrement Operation Mortality operates during retirement eligibility.
Decrement Timing Decrements of all types are assumed to occur at the beginning of the
year.
Eligibility Testing Eligibility for benefits is determined using the age nearest birthday and
service nearest whole year on the anniversary of the valuation date.
Forfeitures For vested separations from service, it is assumed that 0% of members
separating will withdraw their contributions and forfeit an employer
financed benefit. It was further assumed that the liability at
termination is the greater of the vested deferred benefit (if any) or the
member's accumulated contributions.
Incidence of Contributions Employer contributions are assumed to be made at the end of each
biweekly pay period. Member contributions are assumed to be
received continuously throughout the year based upon the computed
percent of payroll shown in this report, and the actual payroll payable
at the time contributions are made.
Marriage Assumption 100% of males and 100% of females are assumed to be married for
purposes of death -in- service benefits. Male spouses are assumed to be
three years older than female spouses for active member valuation
purposes.
Normal Form of Benefit A life annuity is the normal form of benefit.
Pay Increase Timing Middle of fiscal year. This is equivalent to assuming that reported pays
represent amounts paid to members during the year ended on the
valuation date.
Cost of Living Increase 3% per year for members hired before February 1, 1982, members
hired after September 30, 2000, or those hired before October 1, 2000
who elected to contribute an additional 2 %.
Service Credit Accruals It is assumed that members accrue one year of service credit per year.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Actuarial Accrued Liability The difference between the Actuarial Present Value of Future Benefits, and the
(AAL) Actuarial Present Value of Future Normal Costs.
Actuarial Assumptions Assumptions about future plan experience that affect costs or liabilities, such as:
mortality, withdrawal, disablement, and retirement; future increases in salary;
future rates of investment earnings; future investment and administrative
expenses; characteristics of members not specified in the data, such as marital
status; characteristics of future members; future elections made by members; and
other items.
Actuarial Cost Method A procedure for allocating the Actuarial Present Value of Future Benefits between
the Actuarial Present Value of Future Normal Costs and the Actuarial Accrued
Liability.
Actuarial Equivalent Of equal Actuarial Present Value, determined as of a given date and based on a
given set of Actuarial Assumptions.
Actuarial Present Value (APT) The amount of funds required to provide a payment or series of payments in the
future. It is determined by discounting the future payments with an assumed
interest rate and with the assumed probability each payment will be made.
Actuarial Present Value of The Actuarial Present Value of amounts which are expected to be paid at various
Future Benefits (APVFB) future times to active members, retired members, beneficiaries receiving benefits,
and inactive, nonretired members entitled to either a refund or a future retirement
benefit. Expressed another way, it is the value that would have to be invested on
the valuation date so that the amount invested plus investment earnings would
provide sufficient assets to pay all projected benefits and expenses when due.
Actuarial Valuation The determination, as of a valuation date, of the Normal Cost, Actuarial Accrued
Liability, Actuarial Value of Assets, and related Actuarial Present Values for a
plan. An Actuarial Valuation for a governmental retirement system typically also
includes calculations of items needed for compliance with GASB No. 25, such as
the Funded Ratio and the Annual Required Contribution (ARC).
Actuarial Value of Assets The value of the assets as of a given date, used by the actuary for valuation
purposes. This may be the market or fair value of plan assets or a smoothed
value in order to reduce the year -to -year volatility of calculated results, such as
the funded ratio and the actuarially required contribution (ARC).
Amortization Method A method for determining the Amortization Payment. The most common methods
used are level dollar and level percentage of payroll. Under the Level Dollar
method, the Amortization Payment is one of a stream of payments, all equal,
whose Actuarial Present Value is equal to the UAAL. Under the Level Percentage
of Pay method, the Amortization Payment is one of a stream of increasing
payments, whose Actuarial Present Value is equal to the UAAL. Under the Level
Percentage of Pay method, the stream of payments increases at the rate at which
total covered payroll of all active members is assumed to increase.
22
Amortization Payment That portion of the plan contribution or ARC which is designed to pay interest on
and to amortize the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability.
Amortization Period The period used in calculating the Amortization Payment.
Annual Required Contribution The employer's periodic required contributions, expressed as a dollar amount or
(ARC) a percentage of covered plan compensation, determined under GASB No. 25.
The ARC consists of the Employer Normal Cost and Amortization Payment.
Closed Amortization Period A specific number of years that is reduced by one each year, and declines to zero
with the passage of time. For example if the amortization period is initially set at
30 years, it is 29 years at the end of one year, 28 years at the end of two years, etc.
Employer Normal Cost The portion of the Normal Cost to be paid by the employer. This is equal to the
Normal Cost less expected member contributions.
Equivalent Single Amortization For plans that do not establish separate amortization bases (separate components
Period of the UAAL), this is the same as the Amortization Period. For plans that do
establish separate amortization bases, this is the period over which the UAAL
would be amortized if all amortization bases were combined upon the current
UAAL payment.
Experience Gain/Loss A measure of the difference between the normal cost rate from last year and the
normal cost rate from this year.
Frozen Entry Age Actuarial A method under which the excess of the Actuarial Present Value of Projected
Cost Method Benefits of the group included in the valuation, over the sum of the Actuarial
Value of Assets, the Unfunded Frozen Actuarial Accrued Liability and the
Actuarial Present Value of Future Member Contributions (if any) is allocated as a
level percentage of earnings of the group between the valuation date and the
assumed retirement age. This allocation is performed for the group as a whole,
not as a sum of individual allocations. The portion of this Actuarial Present Value
allocated to a specific year is called the Employer Normal Cost. Under this
method, actuarial gains (losses) reduce (increase) future Normal Costs.
Frozen Actuarial Accrued The portion of the Actuarial Present Value of Projected Benefits which is
Liability separated as of a valuation date and frozen under the Actuarial Cost Method being
used. This separated portion is the sum of an initial Unfunded Actuarial Accrued
Liability and any increments or decrements in the Actuarial Accrued Liability
established subsequently as a result of changes in pension plan benefits, Actuarial
Assumptions or methods.
Funded Ratio The ratio of the Actuarial Value of Assets to the Actuarial Accrued Liability.
GASB Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
GASB No. 25 and These are the governmental accounting standards that set the accounting rules for
GASB No. 27 public retirement systems and the employers that sponsor or contribute to them.
Statement No. 27 sets the accounting rules for the employers that sponsor or
contribute to public retirement systems, while Statement No. 25 sets the rules for
the systems themselves.
23
Normal Cost The annual cost assigned, under the Actuarial Cost Method, to the current plan
year.
Open Amortization Period An open amortization period is one which is used to determine the Amortization
Payment but which does not change over time. In other words, if the initial period
is set as 30 years, the same 30 -year period is used in determining the
Amortization Period each year. In theory, if an Open Amortization Period is used
to amortize the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability, the UAAL will never
completely disappear, but will become smaller each year, either as a dollar
amount or in relation to covered payroll.
Unfunded Actuarial Accrued The difference between the Actuarial Accrued Liability and Actuarial Value of
Liability Assets.
Valuation Date The date as of which the Actuarial Present Value of Future Benefits are
determined. The benefits expected to be paid in the future are discounted to this
date.
