CALPERS Actuarial Valuations

These reports provide information regarding the City's pension contributions for all three (3) tiers and the funded status of the pension plan. The main purpose of the actuarial valuation is to determine the appropriate member and employer contribution rates needed to pay for the guaranteed basic pension benefit in the future. The reports includes the liabilities of the plan (the cost of paying current and future pension benefits) and compares them to the assets (the contributions and investment earnings in the pension fund).
