Actuarial Impact Statement — Add Executives
Dear Edgard:
We are writing to report on the actuarial impact to the Miami General Employees' and Sanitation
Employees' Retirement Trust ("Trust") of adding Executives who are currently excluded from
membership in the plan.
The employees impacted are summarized in the table below. The average age and service are
as of October 1, 2020. We have prepared the results under two scenarios, the first assumes the
members will be granted all prior service from their date of hire. The second assumes that the
members below will not be granted prior service credit. There are two employees who were
hired prior to October 1, 2010 and will have some elements of the benefit structure in effect on
September 30, 2010.

52

We have shown the impact of adding the additional active members in the attached exhibit.
The methods and assumptions used in our studies are outlined below:
(1) The studies are based on the October 1, 2020 actuarial valuation of the Trust.
(2) The assumed valuation interest rate (investment return) is 7.45% per year.

(3) The increase in the unfunded accrued liability attributed to active members is amortized as a
level percentage of payroll over a 20- year period assuming total payroll will increase by
3.00% per year.
Future actuarial results may differ significantly from the current results presented in this impact
statement due to such factors as 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. Since the potential impact of such factors is outside the scope of a normal actuarial impact
study, an analysis of the range of results is not presented herein.
We note that as we are preparing this report, the world is in the midst of a pandemic. We have
considered available information but do not believe that there is yet sufficient data to warrant
the modification of any of our assumptions prior to the upcoming experience study.
In order to prepare the results in this report, we have utilized appropriate actuarial models that
were developed for this purpose. These models use assumptions about future contingent events
along with recognized actuarial approaches to develop the needed results.
As with any analysis, there are additional risks that the Trust will face. If the market value of
earnings is different than anticipated, the results noted in this letter will differ.
This actuarial study was prepared and completed by myself 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 comply with the requirements and intent of s. 14, Art. X of the State Constitution, with Part
VII, Chapter 112, and s. 112.64, Florida Statutes.

The proposed changes are noted below effective on or after October 1, 2021. These changes
were reflected in the October 1, 2021 valuation for AFSCME 1907 active members.
(1) Member retirement allowance shall not exceed the lesser of 100% of the Member's
average final compensation or an annual allowance of $120,000 as of retirement or
DROP entry based on the normal form of benefit in effect on the date of retirement
for Members eligible to retire as of October 1, 2012.
(2) Effective October 1, 2022, Member retirement allowance shall not exceed the lesser
of 100% of the Member's average final compensation or $100,000 as of retirement
or DROP entry based on the normal form of benefit in effect on the date of retirement
for Members who were not eligible to retire as of October 1, 2012.
The methods and assumptions used in our studies are outlined below:
(1) The studies are based on the October 1, 2021 actuarial valuation of the Trust.
(2) The assumed valuation interest rate (investment return) is 7.45% per year.
