We are pleased to present to the Board this report of the annual actuarial valuation of

issued by the Actuarial Standards Board, and reflects laws and regulations issued to
date pursuant to the provisions of Chapters 112, and175, Florida Statutes, as well as
applicable federal laws and regulations . In our opinion, the assumptions used in this
valuation, as adopted by the Board of Trustees, represent reasonable expectations of

SUMMARY OF REPORT
The regular annual actuarial valuation of the City of Naples Firefighters' Pension and
Retirement System, performed as of October 1, 2012, has been completed, and the
results are presented in this Report . The contribution amounts set forth herein are
applicable to the City's plan/fiscal year ending September 30, 2014 .
The funding requirements, compared with the amounts developed in the October 1,
2011, actuarial valuation, are as follows :
I The City may use up to $1,668,662 in State Contributions for determining its minimum
funding requirements . For budgeting purposes, the required Sponsor Contribution (City
and State) is 83 .08% of Pensionable Earnings for the fiscal year ending September 30,
2014 . The precise City requirement for the year is this amount, less actual State
Contributions (up to the maximum $1,668,662) .
6
Additionally, there is a receivable City contribution of $8,484 .84 for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2012 . A monthly interest charge of $53 is required for each
complete month after September 30, 2012 until this deposit is made . This interest
charge is based on the 7 .5% valuation assumption for investment return, and is
required by the Division of Retirement for approval of the Annual Report .
Experience since the prior valuation has been more favorable than expected on the
basis of the Plan's actuarial assumptions . The primary source of favorable experience
is attributable to average increases in pensionable compensation that were less than
the assumption by approximately 9% . This gain was partially offset by a 4 .0%
investment return (Actuarial Asset Basis), falling short of the 7 .5% assumption .
In spite of the Plan's net favorable experience during the prior 12 months, the City's
funding requirements have increased, when expressed as a percentage of payroll, due
to the 2 .6% decrease in Total Annual Payroll, combined with a decrease in the payroll
growth assumption from 5 .0% to 4 .1 % . These decreases have the effect of increasing
the required payment for amortization of the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability .
Additionally, the Normal Cost funding rate has increased as a result of an increase in
the average entry age of Plan Participants, and contributed to the overall increased
funding rate, when expressed as a percentage of payroll .
The balance of this Report presents additional details of the actuarial valuation and the
general operation of the Fund . The undersigned would be pleased to meet with the
Board of Trustees in order to discuss the Report and answer any pending questions
concerning its contents .

VALUATION NOTES
Total Annual Payroll is the projected annual rate of pay as of the valuation date of all
covered Members .
Present Value of Benefits is the single sum value on the valuation date of all future
benefits to be paid to current Members, Retirees, Beneficiaries, Disability Retirees
and Vested Terminations .
Normal (Current Year's) Cost 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 .
Individual Entry Aqe Normal Actuarial Cost Method (Level Percent of Compensation) is
the method used to determine required contributions under the Plan . The use of
this method involves the systematic funding of the Normal Cost (described above)
and the Unfunded Accrued (Past Service) Liability . The actuarial accrued liability for
active participants is the difference between the present value of future benefits and
the present value of future Normal Costs . The actuarial accrued liability for inactive
participants is the present value of future benefits .
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 .
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.

Senate Bill 1128 amended Section 112 .63 of the Florida Statutes to require that each
plan report the plan's accrued vested, nonvested, and total benefits, as adopted by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board, using the Florida Retirement System's assumed
rate of return, which is currently 7 .75% . The bill states that this is to promote
comparability of actuarial data between local law plans .
While these calculations are required for compliance purposes, it is the view of Foster &
Foster that utilizing this information to compare local law plans is extremely dangerous .
There are many other assumptions inherent in the actuarial valuation, and they may
differ widely from one plan to another . Additionally, benefit levels, funding policies, asset
allocation, and the age of the plan itself all must be considered when comparing defined
benefit plans .
