Information
SUBJECT:
Fiscal Year 2018/19 Financial Update through April 2019
RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for information only.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
All funds show a positive outlook and are either trending on target with expectations, or
exceeding expectations, at this point in the fiscal year.
In the General Fund (see Attachment A), revenues collected through April totaled $32.5
million or 83.4% of the budget amount of $38.9 million. Year-to-date expenditures through
April totaled $31.1 million or 74.1% of the budget amount of $42.0 million.
In the Highway Fund (see Attachment B), revenues collected through April totaled $3.1
million or 75.0% of the budget amount of $4.1 million. Year-to-date expenditures through
April totaled $2.5 million or 53.6% of the budget amount of $4.6 million.
In the Community Center Fund (see Attachments C-1, C-2 and C-3), revenues collected
through April totaled $5.6 million or 84.6% of the budget amount of $6.7 million. Year-to-
date expenditures through April totaled $4.9 million or 74.0% of the budget amount of $6.6
million.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
GENERAL FUND
Attachment A shows General Fund revenues and expenditures through April, as well as
year-end estimates for each category. The estimated year-end projections in the General
Fund are as follows:
Revenues $39,468,312
Less:
Expenditures ($39,690,617)
Estimated Decrease in Fund Balance ($222,305)*
*The estimated decrease in fund balance is due to the planned, budgeted transfer of
General Fund one-time surplus funds earned in FY 2017/18 to the Capital Fund for future
capital projects per the Town's adopted financial policies.
General Fund Revenues
Local sales tax collections in the General Fund total $16.7 million or 85.7% of the
budget amount of $19.4 million. These revenues are estimated to come in over
budget by about $564,000 or 2.9%, due largely to construction sales tax. Please
see Attachment E for a monthly tracking of General Fund local sales tax
collections, including construction, utility and bed tax collections.
License and permit revenues total $1.9 million or 89.4% of the budget amount of
$2.1 million. These revenues are estimated to come in over budget by about
$58,000 or 2.7%, due largely to residential building permits.
State shared revenues total $9.7 million or 83.1% of the budget amount of $11.7
million, and are projected to come in on budget at this time.
Charges for services revenues total $2.1 million or 87.4% of the budget amount of
$2.4 million. These revenues are estimated to come in over budget by about
$127,000 or 5.3%. This anticipated overage is attributable to farebox revenues,
recreation user fees, plan review fees, and zoning & subdivision fees.
Federal grant revenues total $283,604 or 47.6% of the budget amount of $596,162.
These revenues are estimated to come in under budget by about $223,000 or
37.3%. This is due to previous Counter Narcotics Alliance task force
officers returning to the Town's Police Department operations, as well as capacity
included for grant-funded vehicles, which will roll over into next fiscal year.
Corresponding capital savings for the vehicles are factored into the year-
expenditure estimates for the Police Department.
State grant revenues total $62,924 or 53.0% of the budget amount of $118,800.
These revenues are estimated to come in under budget by about $44,000 or
36.9%, due mainly to budgeted funding for transit van cameras, of which the Town
ended up receiving last fiscal year. The corresponding budgeted expenditure for
the cameras has been removed from the year-end estimates for the Transit
Division in the Public Works Department.
Other intergovernmental revenues total $1.1 million or 60.3% of the budget amount
of $1.8 million. These revenues are estimated to come in under budget by about
$404,000 or 22.4%. Of this amount, $228,000 is attributable to the discontinued
school resource officer contract with Pusch Ridge Christian Academy, as well as
capacity that was included for a potential school resource officer at Leman
Academy. This variance is offset by a corresponding reduction in estimated
personnel expenditures for the Police Department. The remaining amount is
attributable to Transit reimbursements from the IGA with the Regional
Transportation Authority.
Interest income revenues total $358,172 or 238.8% of the budget amount of
$150,000. These revenues are estimated to come in over budget by about
$249,000 or 166.2%, based on estimates provided by the Town’s investment
management firm.
Miscellaneous revenues total $163,403 or 53.3% of the budget amount of
$306,750. These revenues are expected to come in over budget by about $22,000
or 7.2%, due to sale of assets.
Estimated transfers into the General Fund now include a $200,000 transfer from
the Highway Fund. Per the FY 19/20 Adopted Budget, some previous Highway
Fund expenditures will be re-allocated to the General Fund. This $200,000 transfer
reflects excess Highway Fund reserves that will be transferred into the General
Fund to be used towards these re-allocated costs.
Please note that the remaining fund balance from the Bed Tax Fund of $617,856 is
now reflected in the beginning fund balance for the General Fund.
General Fund Expenditures
General Fund expenditures are estimated to come in under budget by about $2.3
million or 5.5%. Of this amount, about $600,000 is due to estimated personnel
savings and about $1,000,000 is attributable to estimated operations &
maintenance (O&M) savings. Roughly $260,000 of the O&M savings is due to
completion of the sales tax rebate agreement for the Oro Valley Marketplace, while
$125,000 is due to the rollover of the Tohono Chul Park pavilion funding into next
fiscal year. The remaining amount is attributable to savings in areas such as
utilities, fleet maintenance, elections and outside professional services, as well as
overall judicious and prudent budget management by departments. Capital outlay
is expected to come in under budget by about $118,000. The remainder of
expenditure savings ($550,000) is due to the budgeted transfer to the Highway
Fund, which will not occur in FY 18/19. Please reference the revenue discussion
above regarding transfers and re-allocated Highway Fund costs per the FY 19/20
Adopted Budget.
The General Fund is expected to end the fiscal year with a total fund balance of about
$16.4 million, or 39.0% of budgeted expenditures.
HIGHWAY FUND
Highway Fund Revenues
State shared highway user funds total $2.9 million or 88.6% of the budget amount
of $3.3 million. These revenues are estimated to come in over budget by about
$328,000 or 10.0%, per the League of Arizona Cities and Towns. This is due to a
one-time allocation called for in state statute, as well as partial elimination of the
annual HURF sweep to fund Department of Public Safety operations.
The subsidy transfer from the General Fund will not occur in FY 18/19. This is a
result of the additional HURF funding, as well as the planned re-allocation of
certain Highway Fund costs to the General Fund beginning FY 19/20, referenced in
the General Fund discussion above.
State grant revenues are estimated to come in under budget by about $21,000 or
12.5%. This is due to vacant roadway construction positions that, when filled,
would have been billed to PAG and the RTA for reimbursement. This variance is
offset by a corresponding reduction in personnel expenditures.
License and permit revenues are estimated to come in under budget by $17,000 or
34.9%, based on year to date collections.
Interest income revenues are estimated to come in over budget by about $23,000
or 46.2%, based on estimates provided by the Town’s investment management
firm.
Highway Fund Expenditures
Highway Fund expenditures are estimated to come in under budget by about
$312,000 or 6.8%. The $250,000 Tangerine/1st Avenue Safety CIP project will roll
over into next fiscal year. Savings of about $135,000 are expected on the Sun City
street lights CIP project. Personnel savings are projected at $88,000, while O&M
savings are projected at about $39,000. These amounts are offset by a $200,000
transfer to the General Fund that will take place in FY 18/19. Please reference the
earlier discussions above regarding re-allocated Highway Fund costs for FY 19/20.
The Highway Fund is expected to end the fiscal year with a fund balance of about
$523,000.
COMMUNITY CENTER FUND
Attachment C-1 shows the consolidated financial status of the Community Center Fund
with all revenues and expenditures from Troon and Town-managed operations.
Attachment C-2 shows the monthly line item detail for the Troon-managed operations,
specifically revenues and expenditures associated with the golf, food and
beverage operations. The totals in the revenue and expenditure categories in Attachment
C-2 tie to the Contracted Operating Revenues and Expenditures in Attachment C-1.
Attachment C-3 shows the revenues and expenditures for the Troon-managed food and
beverage operations only.
Community Center Fund Revenues
Revenues in the Community Center Fund total $5.6 million or 84.6% of the budget
amount of $6.7 million. Contracted operating revenues from Troon total $2.8 million
and Town operating revenues total $795,062. Local sales tax revenues from the
dedicated half-cent sales tax total $2.0 million or 85.3% of the budget amount of
$2.4 million.
Local sales tax revenues are estimated to come in over budget by about $54,000
or 2.3%, due primarily to restaurant/bar collections.
Town operating revenues are estimated to come in under budget by about
$152,000 or 13.3%. This is due to tennis revenues, which were budgeted as
recreation program revenues pending final contract outcome. These revenues
instead post as monthly rental payments to the Town. Please reference the
offsetting savings in the expenditure discussion below.
Contracted operating revenues from Troon are estimated to come in over budget
by about $59,000 or 1.9%, due to golf revenues.
Community Center Fund Expenditures
Expenditures in the Community Center Fund total $4.9 million or 74.0% of the
budget amount of $6.6 million, and are estimated to come in under budget by
roughly $295,000. This variance is largely due to contract payments that were
budgeted for tennis operations. As mentioned in the revenue discussion above,
tennis operations are instead accounted for as monthly rental payments to the
Town. The remaining expenditure variance is due to estimated personnel savings
and contracted expenditure savings. The construction of two new pickleball courts
at the Community Center is factored into the year-end estimate for capital outlay.
The Community Center Fund is projected to end the fiscal year with a fund balance of
approximately $273,000.
All revenue and expenditure estimates are subject to change.
Please see Attachments A and B for additional details on the General Fund and Highway
Fund. See Attachments C-1, C-2 and C-3 for additional details on the Community Center
Fund. See Attachment D for a fiscal year-to-date consolidated summary of all Town
Funds. See Attachment E for a breakdown of monthly local sales tax collections for the
General Fund.

Requested by: J.J. Johnston
Submitted By:J.J. Johnston, Community and Economic Development
Department:Community and Economic Development
SUBJECT:
Resolution No. (R)19-26, authorizing and approving an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the Town of
Oro Valley and Pima County for biotechnology development collaboration for Oro Valley Innovation Labs (OVIL)
funding and transition to a University of Arizona Center for Innovation
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Town of Oro Valley wishes to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with Pima County for
biotechnology development collaboration, an action that will secure matching funding by the County upon approval.
The IGA was approved by the Board of Supervisors on June 3, 2019.
The Oro Valley Innovation Labs (OVIL) Incubator/Accelerator project can begin construction of approximately 4,000
square feet of lab and office space in late 2019 if fundraising targets are met, and the IGA is approved. The OVIL
will serve as both an incubator and accelerator to help support the formation and development of bioscience
start-up companies in Oro Valley.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
The Town of Oro Valley has been supportive of the local efforts to establish an incubator/accelerator in Innovation
Park for several years. In the current fiscal year, the Town Council included $10,000 toward the project, and the
recently approved budget includes an additional $50,000. Pima County has agreed to match the Town's
investment, which they will remit to Oro Valley for distribution to OVIL. With these investments, OVIL meets their
funding target and projects a construction start in the fall. In addition, the University of Arizona's Campus Park
Corporation recently approved a proposal to provide the support and management of the facility, tying it into their
three other incubator/accelerator facilities as a start-up ecosystem.
Additional background information can be found in the attached Memorandum dated May 28, 2019 from C.H.
Huckelberry, Pima County Administrator, to the Board of Supervisors.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Town budgeted $10,000 in Fiscal Year 2018-2019 and $50,000 in Fiscal Year 2019-2020 for the OVIL project,
which will be matched by Pima County if the IGA is approved.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I MOVE to (adopt or deny) Resolution No. (R)19-26, authorizing and approving an Intergovernmental Agreement
between the Town of Oro Valley and Pima County for Oro Valley Innovation Labs (OVIL) funding and potential
transition to a University of Arizona Center for Innovation.

SUBJECT:
RESOLUTION NO. (R)19-30, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO DIRECT THE TOWN MANAGER OR
HER DESIGNEE TO NEGOTIATE AN AGREEMENT WITH TUCSON ELECTRIC POWER TO INSTALL SOLAR
SHADE STRUCTURES IN THE NARANJA PARK PARKING LOT
RECOMMENDATION:
Town staff recommends approval.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Tucson Electric Power (TEP) approached the Town of Oro Valley regarding a potential partnership regarding the
installation of a solar carport project, which would be installed in the Naranja Park parking lot at no cost to the
Town. The intention of the project is to enhance park users' experiences by providing shade during summer
months, shelter from inclement weather throughout the year, and provide continued lighting for safety.
TEP is proposing structures comparable to the size of existing structures at Town Hall, which are smaller in size
compared to installations at schools, such as Copper Creek Elementary School which needs to accommodate for
busses. Although this project has not yet been designed, it would cover approximately half or 90 of the existing
paved parking spots at the main Naranja Park parking lot. Due to the geography and topography of the existing
parking lot, it is anticipated there would be little impact to surrounding residents.
Town staff has reached out to homeowner associations and residents adjacent to the park via email and social
media for input regarding this proposed solar shade project.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
The proposed Naranja Park Solar Carport project is a partnership between the Town of Oro Valley and Tucson
Electric Power (TEP) to bring covered parking structures with solar panels to Naranja Park. This project is similar to
other solar carports seen in the region, including the parking lots at Oro Valley Town Hall. Panels will face west,
with a 5-10 degree tilt. According to the Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy, "a common
misconception about solar photovoltaic (PV) panels is that they inherently cause or create "too much" glare, posing
a nuisance to neighbors and a safety risk for pilots. While solar PV systems can produce glare, light absorption -
rather than reflection - is central to the function of solar PV panels."
The proposed structures are smaller than the structures typically seen at schools, which are much larger to
accommodate school busses. The photograph in Attachment 1 depicts a comparable structure to what is being
proposed. The structures will provide about 90 covered spaces, and will be placed in the areas of Naranja Park
outlined in red in the photo of Attachment 2. The nearest home is approximately 1,200 feet away (about four
football fields). Also of note, Copper Creek Elementary School currently has the larger type of solar shade
structures installed on its campus just east of the park..
This project would yield benefits for both Oro Valley residents and TEP. Covered parking at Naranja Park would
enhance the park user’s experience by providing shade during hot summer months, shelter from inclement weather
throughout the rest of the year, and continued nighttime safety with LED lighting underneath the panels. This project
will also assist TEP in fulfilling its commitment to provide 30% renewable energy by 2030 as the energy generated
by the solar panels will feed back into the grid and become part of TEP’s renewable energy portfolio, providing
additional clean renewable energy to the Town of Oro Valley and the greater Tucson region in general.
Tucson Electric Power will fully fund, design, build, own, operate and maintain the solar carports for a term of 20-25
years. All of this work will be completed with no cost to the Town. Pending approval, it is anticipated the project
would begin in August 2019, with planning and engineering drawings. Actual construction should last no more than
two months, with project completion in December 2019. TEP will work closely with the Town throughout the entire
process, ensuring minimal disruption for park users.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There will be a slight positive revenue impact to the Town, as TEP will still be required to pay permitting fees for
processing; however, all infrastructure and facilities will be designed and installed by TEP at no cost to the Town.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I MOVE to (approve or deny) Resolution No. (R)19-30, directing the Town Manager or her designee to negotiate an
agreement with Tucson Electric Power for use of the Town's Naranja Park property with the intention of installing
solar shade structures within the parking lot.

SUBJECT:
RESOLUTION NO. (R)19-28, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING ADOPTING THE PUBLIC
SAFETY PERSONNEL RETIREMENT SYSTEM (PSPRS) PENSION FUNDING POLICY AND ACCEPTING THE
TOWN'S SHARE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES UNDER THE PSPRS ACTUARIAL VALUATION REPORT
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval, and the Budget and Finance Commission are scheduled to meet on June 18, 2019 to
review and discuss the policy and may provide their recommendations.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The State of Arizona House Bill 2097 was passed into law on April 3, 2018, requiring the Town Council to adopt a
pension funding policy for the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS) before July 1, 2019, and
annually each year thereafter. This bill was codified into Arizona Revised Statutes section 38-863.01 and requires
the Town to adopt a pension funding policy to communicate how the Town will maintain stability of the Town's
required contributions, how and when the Town's funding requirements will be met, and defining the Town's funded
ratio target under PSPRS and when it will be met. The Town is also required to formally accept the Town's share of
the assets and liabilities based on the PSPRS actuarial report and post the pension funding policy on its website.
While the Town's sworn police personnel are members of the PSPRS plan, PSPRS also administers the Correction
Officers Retirement Plan (CORP). Three (3) police dispatch personnel are currently active members of the CORP
plan. As such, the draft pension funding policy, attached hereto, also incorporates the funding requirements for the
CORP plan. The attached draft policy was completed using a template created by the League of Arizona Cities and
Towns for the benefit of all municipal agencies required to comply with this State law.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
Annually, PSPRS and CORP provide the Town with an actuarial report that includes the Town's assets, liabilities,
unfunded actuarial liability, funding ratio, and the projected minimum contributions required for the upcoming fiscal
year.
The PSPRS and CORP actuarial reports from June 30, 2018, (please see attached) reflect an overall funded ratio
of 59.9% for police and 45.4% for dispatchers. The Town's unfunded liabilities were $22.8 million for police and $1.6
million for dispatchers.
Town and employee annual contribution rates vary depending upon the employee's hire date. The Town's FY
2019/20 contribution rates for PSPRS beginning July 1, 2019, are 38.59% or 34.05%, and employee rates are
7.65% or 9.94%. The adopted FY 2019/20 budget includes approximately $3 million for the Town's contribution to
PSPRS. Roughly $2 million of that total is the Town's contribution specifically toward paying down the unfunded
liability, currently estimated at $22.8 million. The adopted budget also includes an additional $500,000 lump sum
contribution toward this liability for FY 19/20.
The Town's FY 2019/20 contribution rate for CORP beginning July 1, 2019, is 59.94%, and the employee rate is
7.96%. The adopted FY 2019/20 budget includes approximately $119,000 for the Town's contribution to CORP.
Approximately $106,000 of that total is the contribution specifically toward paying down the unfunded liability,
currently estimated at $1.6 million.
Based on the actuarial analysis, it is anticipated that the unfunded liabilities for both plans will be paid in 18 years,
or by June 30, 2036, as amortized in both actuarial reports.
To comply with the new statutory requirement, staff recommends continuing to pay the annual required minimum
contributions each year, which include a portion of the amortized unfunded component to reach 100% funded status
by 2036, plus any additional lump sums dependent on funding availability and Council approval, and formally
accept the Town's share of the assets and liabilities included in the actuarial reports. The attached recommended
policy is consistent with that recommendation, and is based upon a model PSPRS policy drafted by the Arizona
League of Cities and Towns that also includes a requirement to review and adopt the policy annually. This provides
the Town Council with flexibility to reconsider its level of effort toward the retirement of the PSPRS liability based
upon Town resources and demands.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The FY 2019/20 adopted budget includes approximately $3 million to fund the annual minimum required Town
contributions, plus a lump sum amount of $500,000 for the PSPRS plan. The adopted budget also includes
approximately $119,000 to fund the annual minimum required Town contributions for the CORP plan.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I MOVE to (approve/deny) Resolution No. (R)19-28, adopting the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System
(PSPRS) Pension Funding Policy and accepting the Town's share of assets and liabilities under the PSPRS
actuarial valuation report.

Town of Oro Valley
Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS)
Pension Funding Policy
The intent of this policy is to clearly communicate the Town Council’s pension funding objectives ,
its commitment to employees and the sound financial management of the Town of Oro Valley,
and maintain compliance with new statutory requirements of A.R.S. 38-863.01. The Council shall
annually assess the status of the Town’s PSPRS trust fund annually, and take formal action to
update this policy in concert with the final annual budget approval. This policy shall also apply to
the Town’s participation in the Correction Officer Retirement Plan (CORP).
Several terms are used throughout this policy and are defined as follows :
Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) – Is the difference between trust assets and
the estimated future cost of pensions earned by employees. This UAAL results from actual
results (interest earnings, member mortality, disability rates, etc.) being different from the
assumptions used in previous actuarial valuations.
Annual Required Contribution (ARC) – Is the annual amount required to pay into the
pension funds, as determined through annual actuarial valuations. It is comprised of two
primary components: normal pension cost – which is the estimated cost of pension benefit s
earned by employees in the current year; and, amortization of UAAL – which is the cost
needed to cover the unfunded portion of pensions earned by employees in previou s years.
The UAAL is collected over a period of time referred to as the amortization period. The ARC is
a percentage of the current payroll.
Funded Ratio – Is a ratio of fund assets to actuarial accrued liability. The higher the ratio the
better funded the pension is with 100% being fully funded.
Intergenerational equity – Is a concept used to describe the policy expectation that no
generation is burdened by substantially more or less pension costs than past or future
generations.
The Town’s sworn police employees who are regularly assigned hazardous duty participate in the
Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS). Selected individuals who serve as
dispatchers in the Oro Valley Police Department participate in the CORP plan, which is also
administered by the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System.
Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS)
PSPRS is administered as an agent multiple-employer pension plan. An agent multiple-employer
plan has two main functions: 1) to comingle assets of all plans under its administration, thus
achieving economy of scale for more cost efficient investments, and invest those assets for the
benefit of all members under its administration and 2) serve as the statewide uniform
administrator for the distribution of benefits.
2
Under an agent multiple-employer plan, each agency participating in the plan has an individual
trust fund reflecting that agencies ’ assets and liabilities. Under this plan all contributions are
deposited to and distributions are made from that fund’s assets, each fund has its own funded
ratio and contribution rate, and each fund has a unique annu al actuarial valuation. The Town of
Oro Valley has one trust fund for police employees . The Town also contributes to the Correction
Officer Retirement Plan (CORP), administered by the Public Safety Personnel Retirement
System, on behalf of selected individuals who serve as dispatchers in the Oro Valley Police
Department. CORP maintains one trust fund for dispatchers.
Council formally accepts the assets, liabilities, and current funding ratio of the Town’s PSPRS
and CORP trust funds from the June 30, 2018 actuarial valuations specified below.
Trust Fund Assets
Accrued
Liability
Unfunded
Actuarial Accrued

Ratio
Oro Valley Police $34,172,618 $57,022,056 $22,849,438 59.9%
Oro Valley Dispatchers $ 1,337,558 $ 2,945,307 $ 1,607,749 45.4%
PSPRS and CORP Funding Goal
Pensions that are less than fully funded place the cost of service provided in earlier periods
(amortization of UAAL) on the current taxpayers. Fully funded pension plans are the best way to
achieve taxpayer and member intergenerational equity.
The Council’s PSPRS and CORP funding ratio goal is 100% (fully funded) by June 30,
2036. Council establishes this goal for the following reasons:
• The PSPRS and CORP trust funds represent only the Town of Oro Valley’s liability
• The fluctuating cost of an UAAL causes strain on the Town’s budget, affecting the Town’s
ability to provide services
• A fully funded pension is the best way to achieve taxpayer and member intergenerational
equity
Council has determined that in order to achieve the 100% funding ratio goal, the following actions
will be taken:
• Maintain ARC payment from operating revenues – Council is committed to maintaining the
full ARC payment (normal cost and UAAL amortization) from operating funds. The
estimated combined ARC for FY19/20 is estimated at $3.0 million for PSPRS and at
$119,000 for CORP and shall be paid from operating funds.
• Retain 20-year amortization of unfunded liability rather than extend to 30 years as allowed
by statute.
• Review Local board practices annually.
• Apply adopted financial policies dedicating surplus funds at year -end toward reducing the
unfunded liability.
3
• Project additional payments toward unfunded liability debt, on top of the employer
contribution, based on funding availability. For FY19/20, this shall include a lump sum of
$500,000 for PSPRS.
It is hereby the Town Council’s intent to achieve its goal of 100% funding by June 30, 2036, in
accordance with the amortization timeline set forth by the PSPRS and CORP June 30, 2018

Re: Oro Valley Police Dept.
The results of the June 30, 2018 annual actuarial valuation of members covered by the Arizona Public
Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS) are presented in this report.
This report was prepared at the request of the Board and is intended for use by the Retirement System
and those designated or approved by the Board. This report may be provided to parties other than the
System only in its entirety and only with the permission of the Board. GRS is not responsible for
unauthorized use of this report.
The purpose of the valuation was to measure the Retirement System's funding progress and to determine
the employer contribution for the 2019-2020 fiscal year. The funding objective is stated in Article 4,
Chapter 5, Title 38, Section 843B of the Arizona Revised Statutes. In addition, this consolidated report
provides summary information for PSPRS participating employers. This report should not be relied on for
any purpose other than the purposes described herein. Determinations of financial results, associated
with the benefits described in this report, for purposes other than those identified above may be
significantly different.
The computed contribution rate shown on page A-2 should be considered as a minimum contribution rate
that complies with the Board’s funding policy and Arizona Statutes. Users of this report should be aware
that contributions made at that rate do not guarantee benefit security. Given the importance of benefit
security to any retirement system, we suggest that contributions to the System in excess of those
presented in this report be considered.
The findings in this report are based on data and other information through June 30, 2018. 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 scope of an actuarial valuation does not
include an analysis of the potential range of such future measurements.

This valuation assumes the continuing ability of the participating employers to make the contributions
necessary to fund this plan. A determination regarding whether or not the participating employers are
actually able to do so is outside our scope of expertise. Consequently, we did not perform such an
analysis.
The valuation was based upon information furnished by the Retirement System, concerning Retirement
System benefits, financial transactions, plan provisions and active members, terminated members,
retirees and beneficiaries. We checked for internal reasonability and year-to-year consistency, but did not
audit the data. We are not responsible for the accuracy or completenes s of the information provided by
the Retirement System.
In addition, this report was prepared using certain assumptions approved by the Board as described in the
section of this report entitled Methods and Assumptions.
This report has been prepared by actuaries who have substantial experience valuing public employee
retirement systems. To the best of our knowledge the information contained in this report is accurate and
fairly presents the actuarial position of the Arizona Public Safety Personnel Retirem ent System 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.

Tier 1 & 2 Tier 3*
* At the November 28, 2018 Board of Trustees meeting, the PSPRS Board of Trustees decided not to change the Tier 3
Pension and Health Rates for Employers and Employees, calculated with the June 30, 2017 valuation, for the fiscal
year beginning July 1, 2019. In addition to the Tier 3 Pension and Health rates above, the e mployer must also
contribute 24.11% of Tier 3 payroll for Legacy UAL.
The PSPRS aggregate pension contribution rate increased slightly from the June 30, 2017 valuation due to
asset experience and payroll growth different from expected, which impacted all employers; offset by the
impact of certain employers lengthening the amortization period used for financing unfunded accrued
liabilities. It is very important to note that the impact of these changes vary significantly from one
employer to another, depending on plan demographics and other factors. In addition, those hired on or
after July 1, 2017 (Tier 3) have a different level of benefit promise, which is financed on a 50/50 basis
between Employer/Employee. Pursuant to ARS 38-843, Subsection B, existing unfunded accrued liabilities
for Tier 1 & 2 are financed over all employer payroll (including Tier 3).

Asset Losses – Asset gains and losses (relative to the assumed investment return) are smoothed over 7-
years. The return on market value was 7.0% for the year ending June 30, 2018. However, based on
funding value, the average return for the last 7 years is approximately 5.9%
Oro Valley Police Dept. 3
Executive Summary/Board Summary
Tier 2 – The decrease in the contribution rate is due to the fact that as current members retire, they are
replaced by new members who have a less costly Tier of Benefits (for members hired on or after January
1, 2012). This will typically result in a declining normal cost rate that will occur gradually over time as the
population mix (Tier 1 / Tier 2) changes. Occasionally, the normal cost rate may change if there has been
a shift in demographics during the year.
Payroll Base – Under the current amortization policy, the contribution rate is developed based on a
percentage of payroll. To the extent that overall payroll is lower/greater than last year’s payroll projected
payroll growth, the contribution rate will increase/decrease as a result. For example, if the re were two
active members in the Plan last year and one of the members retired, the existing unfunded liability
would now be spread over the payroll of one member instead of two members and the resulting
contribution rate would be much higher. Therefore, it is important to consider the overall dollar level of
the contribution along with the contribution rate. The dollar contributions are also shown on Page A-2.
The change in the funded status is primarily due to gains or losses on the overall salary ass umption, which
includes both the wage base assumption and the merit and longevity components of the salary
assumption. To the extent that payroll is lower/greater than last year’s payroll projected payroll growth,
the funded status rate will increase/decrease as a result.
COLA – A Cost of Living adjustment of 2% impacts benefits as of July 1, 2018 for eligible retirees, which
exceeds the 1.75% assumption.
Amortization Method Changes – Some employers elected to extend the amortization period to 30
years. It is important to note that even if all assumptions are realized, including asset return at 7.4% per
year -- under the 30 year level percent of payroll amortization method the unfunded liability is projected
to grow for the next 10 years before declining (sometimes referred to as “negative amortization”).
Hall/Parker Settlement – Final disposition of liabilities related to these court cases served to decrease
funded status.
Other – This is the combination of all factors other than those listed above and primarily reflect
demographic gains and losses (i.e., service purchases, retirement, turnover, disability, etc. experience that
differs from the actuarial assumptions). While this number is small on a combined plan basis, it will vary
considerably from employer to employer, especially for employers with a smaller number of members.
4. Amortization Period
Unfunded liabilities were amortized as level percent-of-payroll over a closed period of 18 years. If the
actuarial value of assets exceeded the actuarial accrued liability, the excess was amortized over an open
period of 20 years and applied as a credit to reduce the normal cost which otherwise would be payable.

Executive Summary/Board Summary
5. Looking Ahead
The continuing effect of prior asset losses was dampened by the 7-year smoothing period, and further
offset by the effect of lower than expected pay increases. There remains unrecognized investment losses
that will, in the absence of other gains, put upward pressure on the contribution rate next year.
If the June 30, 2018 pension valuation results were based on market value instead of smoothed funding
value, the pension funded percent of the plan would be 58.6% (instead of 59.9%), and the pension
employer contribution requirement would be 39.09% of payroll (instead of 38.26%).
6. Conclusion
The recent changes in benefit structure and actuarial assumptions increased contribution rates for most
employers. For some employers, this was offset by lengthening the amortization period. Additionally, the
changes to the historical PBI structure will help dampen the volatility of contribution rates in the future
and provide more predictable benefit increases to retirees.
For some plans, after accounting for active member contributions, the retired lives are less than fully
funded on a funding value of assets basis. It is most important that this Plan receive contributions at least
equal to the rates shown in this report.
SECTION A
INTRODUCTION
Oro Valley Police Dept. A-1
Funding Objective
The purpose of the annual actuarial valuation of the Arizona Public Safety Personnel Retirement System
as of June 30, 2018 is to:
Compute the liabilities associated with benefits likely to be paid on behalf of current retired
and active members. This information is contained in Section B.
Compare accrued assets with accrued liabilities to assess the funded condition. This
information is contained in Section B.
Compute the employers’ recommended contribution rates for the Fiscal Year beginning July
1, 2019. This information is contained in Section A.
This objective is stated in Article 4, Chapter 5, Title 38, Section 843B of the Arizona Revised Statutes.
Contribution Rates
The Retirement System is supported by member contributions, employer contributions and investment
income from Retirement System assets.
Contributions which satisfy the funding objective are determined by the annual actuarial valuation and
are sufficient to:
(1) Cover the actuarial present value of benefits allocated to the current year by the actuarial cost
method described in Section E (the normal cost); and
(2) Finance over a period of future years the actuarial present value of benefits not covered by
valuation assets and anticipated future normal costs (the unfunded actuarial accrued liability).
Computed contribution rates for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2019 are shown on pages A-2 and A-3.

* Tier 2 Members contribute 11.65%, but statutory requirements dictate only 7.65% is applied toward employer costs.
**The Alternate Contribution Rate is the sum of the positive amortization payments for Tiers 1 &2 Pension and Health,required for when retirees return
to active status.
The results above are shown both prior to and after the application of the statutory minimum contribution requirement of 8% of
payroll (5% of payroll if the actual employer contribution rate is less than 5% for the 2006/2007 Fiscal Year) and are based on the
current amortization schedule approved by the Board of Trustees for your individual plan (see page E-1).
A.R.S. 38-843, subsection I allows for the employer to request a one-time increase in the amortization period up to a maximum of 30
years. The following costs are being provided to facilitate that decision. If the current approved amortization period on page E-1 is
greater than those below, that request has already been made for this plan where the following is provided to faciliate earlier
payoff, if desired.

SECTION E
METHODS AND ASSUMPTIONS
Oro Valley Police Dept. E-1
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 an individual entry-age actuarial cost method
having the following characteristics:
(i) the annual normal costs for each individual active member, payable from the date of
hire to the date of retirement, are sufficient to accumulate to the value of the
member’s benefits.
(ii) each annual normal cost is a constant percentage of the member’s year-by-year
projected covered pay.
The entry-age actuarial cost method allocates the actuarial present value of each member's projected
benefits on a level basis over the member's compensation between the entry age of the member and the
assumed exit ages.
Actuarial Accrued Liability - The actuarial accrued liability is the portion of actuarial present value
allocated to service rendered prior to the valuation date, including experience gains and losses. The
actuarial accrued liability was computed using the assumptions summarized in this report.
Actuarial Value of System Assets – Tier 1 & 2 - The actuarial value of assets recognizes assumed
investment income fully each year. Differences between actual and assumed investment income are
phased-in over a closed seven-year period subject to a 20% corridor. 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 the assumed rate, the actuarial value of assets
will tend to be greater than market value.
Actuarial Value of System Assets – Tier 3 - The actuarial value of assets recognizes assumed investment
income fully each year. Differences between actual and assumed investment income are phased-in over a
closed five-year period subject to a 20% corridor. 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 the assumed rate, the actuarial value of assets will tend to be greater
than market value.
Financing of Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liabilities – Tier 1 & 2 - The actuarial value of assets were
subtracted from the computed actuarial accrued liability. Any unfunded amount would be amortized as
level percent-of-payroll over a closed period of 18 years. If the actuarial value of assets exceeded the
actuarial accrued liability, the excess was amortized over an open period of 20 years and applied as a
credit to reduce the normal cost which otherwise would be payable.
Financing of Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liabilities – Tier 3 - The actuarial value of assets were
subtracted from the computed actuarial accrued liability. Any unfunded amount would be amortized as a
level dollar amount over a closed period of 10 years. No credit to reduce the normal cost will be applied if
the actuarial value of assets exceeded the actuarial accrued liability.
Oro Valley Police Dept. E-2
Valuation Methods
Active member payroll was assumed to increase 3.5% annually for the purpose of computing the
amortization payment (credit) as a level percent-of-payroll.
Funded Ratio - Unless otherwise indicated, a funded ratio measurement presented in this report is based
upon the actuarial accrued liability and the actuarial value of assets. Unless otherwise indicated, with
regard to any funded status measurements presented in this report:
1. The measurement is inappropriate for assessing the sufficiency of plan assets to cover the
estimated cost of settling the plan’s benefit obligations, in other words, of transferring the
obligations to a unrelated third party in an arm’s length market value type transaction.
2. The measurement is dependent upon the actuarial cost method which, in combination with the
plan’s amortization policy, affects the timing and amounts of future contributions. The amount of
future contributions will most certainly differ from those assumed in this report due to future
actual experience differing from assumed experience based upon actuarial assumptions. A funded
ratio measurement in this report of 100% is not synonymous with no required future
contributions. If the funded ratio were 100%, the plan would still require future normal cost
contributions (i.e., contributions to cover the cost of the active membership accruing an additional
year of service credit).
3. The measurement would produce a different result if the market value of assets were used
instead of the actuarial value of assets, unless the market value of assets is used in the
measurement.
Stabilization Reserve - Beginning with the June 30, 2007 valuation and with each subsequent valuation, if
the actuarial value of assets exceeds the actuarial accrued liabilities, one half of this excess in each yea r is
allocated to a Stabilization Reserve. The Stabilization Reserve is excluded from the calculation of the
employer contribution rates. The Stabilization Reserve continues to accumulate as long as the plan is
over-funded. Once the plan becomes underfunded, the Stabilization Reserve will be used to dampen
increases in the employer contribution rates. With the June 30, 2018 valuation, the Plan is underfunded
and the Stabilization Reserve is zero.
Oro Valley Police Dept. E-3
Valuation Assumptions
Assumptions for this valuation are based on the most recent experience study performed in 2017. As
experience emerges for Tier 3 members, separate assumptions may be developed for that Tier.
The rate of investment return – Tier 1 & 2 was 7.40% a year, compounded annually net of investment and
administrative expenses.
The assumed real return is the rate of return in excess of wage growth. Considering other assumptions
used in the valuation, the 7.40% nominal rate translates to a net real return over wag e growth of 3.90% a
year.
The rate of investment return – Tier 3 was 7.00% a year, compounded annually net of investment and
administrative expenses.
The assumed real return is the rate of return in excess of wage growth. Considering other assumptions
used in the valuation, the 7.00% nominal rate translates to a net real return over wage growth of 3.50% a
year.
The rates of pay increase used for individual members are shown below. This assumption is used to
project a member’s current pay to the pay upon which System benefits will be based. This assumption
was first used for the June 30, 2017 valuation of the System.
The price inflation component of the investment return rate and the wage inflation rate is assumed to be
2.50%.

Valuation Assumptions
Mortality Tables. The mortality tables utilized are based upon the RP-2014 tables, as extended, and
include a margin for future mortality improvement using a fully generational improvement scale. The
tables used were as follows:
Healthy Pre-Retirement: The RP-2014 Employee Mortality Tables, extended via cubic spline,
projected backwards 1 year to 2013 with mortality improvement scale MP -2014. Future
mortality improvements are assumed each year using 75% of scale MP-2016.
Healthy Post-Retirement: The RP-2014 Healthy Annuitant Mortality Tables (110% for
females), extended via cubic spline, projected backwards 1 year to 2013 with mortality
improvement scale MP-2014. Future mortality improvements are assumed each year using
75% of scale MP-2016.
Disability Retirement: The RP-2014 Disabled Mortality Tables, extended via cubic spline,
projected backwards 1 year to 2013 with mortality improvement scale MP -2014. Future
mortality improvements are assumed each year using 75% of scale MP-2016.
This assumption was first used for the June 30, 2017 valuation of the System.

Summary of Assumptions Used
June 30, 2018
Miscellaneous and Technical Assumptions
Marriage Assumption: 85% of males and 60% 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.
Pay Increase Timing: Six months after the valuation date. This means that the pays received
are assumed to be annual rates of pay on the valuation date as
opposed to W-2 type earnings for the prior 12 months.
Decrement Timing: Decrements of all types are assumed to occur mid-year.
Eligibility Testing: Eligibility for benefits is determined based upon the age nearest
birthday and service nearest whole year on the date the decrement is
assumed to occur.
Decrement Relativity: Decrement rates are used directly from the experience study, without
adjustment for multiple decrement table effects.
Decrement Operation: Disability and turnover decrements do not operate during retirement
eligibility.
Service Credit Accruals: It is assumed that members accrue one year of service credit per year.
Incidence of Contributions: 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.
Normal Form of Benefit: A straight life payment is the assumed normal form of benefit for
members who are not married, and the 80% Joint and Survivor form of
payment with no reduction, for married members. 85% of males and
60% of females are assumed to be married at time of retirement.
Benefit Service: Exact fractional service is used to determine the amount of benefit
payable.
Health Care Utilization: 70% of future retirees are expected to utilize retiree health care. 85%
of males and 60% of females are assumed to be married.
Assumed Future Permanent
Benefit Increases (PBI):
The cost-of-living adjustment will be based on the average annual
percentage change in the Metropolitan Phoenix-Mesa Consumer Price
Index published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of
Statistics. We have assumed that to be 1.75% for this valuation.
Oro Valley Police Dept. E-10
Summary of Assumptions Used

Miscellaneous and Technical Assumptions
Financing of Unfunded
Actuarial Accrued Liabilities
(Money in the Pipes):
The rate-setting valuation projects the unfunded actuarial accrued
liability to the beginning of the applicable fiscal year to determine the
applicable unfunded amortization rate.
Maintenance of Effort: For Tier 1 & 2 members, the amount of member contributions that
exceed 7.65% of the member’s compensation will NOT be used to
reduce the employer’s contribution requirement. Therefore, this
Maintenance of Effort is subtracted from assets prior to calculating the
contribution rate.

Summary of Plan Provisions Valued and/or Considered
Ordinary Disability Retirement (not duty-related): Physical condition which totally and permanently
prevents performance of a reasonable range of duties or a mental condition which totally and
permanently prevents any substantial gainful employment. The amount of pension is a percentage of
normal pension on employee’s credited service (maximum of 20 years divided by 20).
Accidental Disability Retirement (duty-related): Total and presumably permanent disability, incurred in
performance of duty, preventing performance of a reasonable range of duties within the employee’s job
classification. No credited service requirement. Pension is computed in the same manner as normal
pension based on credited service and average monthly compensation at time of termination of
employment. Pension is 50% of average monthly compensation, or normal pension amount, whichever is
greater.
Temporary Disability: Termination of employment prior to normal retirement eligibility by reason of
temporary disability. Pension is 1/12 of 50% of compensation during the year preceding the date
disability was incurred. Payments terminate after 12 months of prior recovery.

is the greater of 62.5% of average monthly compensation or the member’s accrued normal pension.
Survivor Pension: Death while a member is employed by an employer, or death after retirement. No
credited service requirement.
Spouse Pension: 80% of pension deceased active member would have been paid for accidental disability
retirement or, in the case of retired member, 80% of the retired member’s pension. Requires two years
of marriage*. Terminates upon death. For member killed in line of duty, 100% of average compensation,
reduced by child’s pension.

Deferred Retirement Option Plan (DROP): A member hired before January 1, 2012 with 20 or more years
of credited service under the System may enter into the DROP program with his employer. Under the
DROP program, the member must voluntarily and irrevocably elect to enter into the program with his
employer for a period of up to 60 months. During the DROP period, the member remains in the employ of
the employer as a full-time paid Firefighter or full-time paid certified Peace Officer, but no member or
employer contributions are made to the System, therefore no additional years of credited service are
accrued on the member’s behalf. The member’s monthly pension is calculated based upon the years of
credited service and average monthly compensation at the beginning of the DROP period. This monthly
pension amount is credited to a DROP participation account with interest credited monthly to the
account. The interest rate credited to the DROP account is 8.0% for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2011,
7.85% for the fiscal years beginning July 1, 2012, July 1, 2013 and July 1, 2014, 7.50% for the fiscal year
beginning July 1, 2015, 7.40% for the fiscal years beginning July 1, 2016 a nd July 1, 2017, and 7.30% for
the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018.

Summary of Plan Provisions Valued and/or Considered
At the end of the DROP period or prior to that time if the member terminates employment, the monies in
the DROP participation account will be paid in a lump-sum distribution to the Public Safety Personnel
Defined Contribution Retirement Plan. The member will then begin receiving the monthly pension
amount directly from the System in the same amount as was being credited to the DROP participation
account.
For members with less than 20 years of credited service on January 1, 2012, the monthly pension amount
is credited to a DROP participation account with interest calculated as the average return on the actuarial
value of assets, with a minimum of 2% and maximum equal to the actuarial assumed rate. The interest
credited to the DROP account is 4.40% for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2012, 3.20% for the fiscal year
beginning July 1, 2013, 3.40% for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2014, 3.1% for the fiscal year beginning
July 1, 2015, 4.50% for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2016 and 6.6% for the fiscal year beginning July 1,
2017.
For members with less than 20 years of credited service on January 1, 2012, during the DROP pe riod, the
member remains in the employ of the employer as a full-time paid Firefighter or full-time paid certified
Peace Officer and refundable member contributions are made to the System.
A member hired on or after January 1, 2012 may NOT enter into the DROP.
Employer Contributions:
For members hired before July 1, 2017:
Percent-of-payroll normal cost plus 30-year (20 years remaining as of June 30, 2016) amortization of
unfunded actuarial accrued liability (20-year amortization for credit). The statutory minimum is 8% of
payroll (5% of payroll if the actual employer contribution rate is less than 5% for the 2006/2007 fiscal
year). Employer will contribute to the System when members return to work.
For members hired on or after July 1, 2017:
50% of both the Normal Cost and Actuarially determined amount required to amortize the total unfunded
liability for those hired after July 1, 2017. Each year a new amortization base for gains or losses,
smoothed over a period not more than 5 years, will be created on a level dollar basis over a period equal
to the average expected remaining service lives, but not more than 10 years.
Member Contributions:
For members hired before July 20, 2011: 7.65%
For members hired on or after July 20, 2011, but before January 1, 2012: 11.65%
For members hired on or after January 1, 2012, but before July 1, 2017: 11.65%
SECTION G
FUNDING POLICY
Oro Valley Police Dept. G-1
Actuarial Funding Policy
Introduction
The purpose of this Actuarial Funding Policy is to record the funding objectives and policy set by the Board
for the Arizona Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS). The Board establishes this Funding
Policy to help ensure the systematic funding of future benefit payments for members of the Retirement
System.
In 2012, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) approved two new financial reporting
standards. GASB Statement No. 67, “Financial Reporting for Pension Plans” replaces the requirements of
Statement No. 25. GASB Statement No. 68, “Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions” replaces
the requirements of Statements No. 27 and No. 50. Prior to the changes, the Annual Required
Contribution (ARC) rate was used as a basis for funding decisions. The new GASB statements separate
accounting cost (expense) from funding cost (contributions), necessitating the creation of this funding
policy.
This funding policy shall be reviewed by the Board annually for several years following initial adoption
until the next experience study. Subsequently, it shall be reviewed every five years in conjunction with
the experience study.
Funding Objectives
1. Maintain adequate assets so that current plan assets plus future contributions and investment
earnings are sufficient to fund all benefits expected to be paid to members and their beneficiaries.
2. Maintain stability of employer contribution rates, consistent with other funding objectives.
3. Maintain public policy goals of accountability and transparency. Each policy element is clear in intent
and effect, and each should allow an assessment of whether, how and when the funding
requirements of the plan will be met.
4. Promote intergenerational equity. Each generation of members and employers should incur the cost
of benefits for the employees who provide services to them, rather than deferring those costs to
future members and employers.
5. Provide a reasonable margin for adverse experience to help offset risks.
6. Continue progress of systematic reduction of the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liabilities (UAAL).
Oro Valley Police Dept. G-2
Actuarial Funding Policy
Elements of Actuarial Funding Policy
1. Actuarial Cost Method
a. The Individual Entry Age Normal level percent of pay actuarial cost method of valuation shall be
used in determining Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL) and Normal Cost. Differences in the past
between assumed experience and actual experience (“actuarial gains and losses”) shall become
part of the AAL. The Normal Cost shall be determined on an individual basis for each active
member.
2. Asset Smoothing Method
a. The investment gains or losses of each valuation period, resulting from the difference between
actual investment return and assumed investment return, shall be recognized annually in level
amounts over 7 years in calculating the Funding Value of Assets .
b. The Funding Value of Assets so determined shall be subject to a 20% corridor relative to Market
Value of Assets.
3. Amortization Method
a. The Funding Value of Assets are subtracted from the computed AAL. Any unfunded amount is
amortized as a level percent of payroll over a closed period. If the Funding Value of Assets
exceeds the AAL, the excess is amortized over an open period of 20 years and applied as a credit
to reduce the Normal Cost otherwise payable.
4. Funding Target
a. The targeted funded ratio shall be 100%.
b. The maximum amortization period shall be 30 years.
c. If the funded ratio is between 100% and 120%, a minimum contribution equal to the Normal Cost
will be made.

Actuarial Funding Policy
Elements of Actuarial Funding Policy (Concluded)
5. Risk Management
a. Assumption Changes
The actuarial assumptions used shall be those last adopted by the PSPRS Board based on the
most recent experience study and upon the advice and recommendation of the actuary. In
accordance with best practices, the actuary shall conduct an experience study every five years.
The results of the study shall be the basis for the actuarial assumption changes recommended
to the PSPRS Board.
The actuarial assumptions can be updated during the five-year period if significant plan design
changes or other significant events occur, as advised by the actuary.
b. Amortization Method
The amortization method, Level Percent Closed, will ensure full payment of the UAAL over a
finite, systematically decreasing period not to exceed 30 years. The amortization period will
be reviewed once the period reaches 15 years.
c. Risk Measures
The following risk measures will be annually determined to provide quantifiable
measurements of risk and their movement over time.
(i) Classic measures currently determined
Funded ratio (assets / liability)
(ii) UAAL / Total Payroll
Measures the risk associated with contribution decreases relative impact on the ability
to fund the UAAL. An increase in this measure indicates a increase in contribution risk.
(iii) Total Liability / Total Payroll
Measures the risk associated with the ability to respond to liability experience through
adjustments in contributions. An increase in this measure indicates an increase in
experience risk.

Actuarial Funding Policy
Glossary
1. Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL): The difference between (i) the actuarial present value of future plan
benefits, and (ii) the actuarial present value of future normal cost. Sometimes referred to as “accrued
liability” or “past service liability”.
2. Actuarial Assumptions: Estimates of future plan experience with respect to rates of mortality,
disability, turnover, retirement, rate or rates of investment income and salary increases. Decrement
assumptions (rates of mortality, disability, turnover and retirement) are generally based on past
experience, often modified for projected changes in conditions. Economic assumptions (salary
increases and investment income) consist of an underlying rate in an inflation -free environment plus a
provision for a long-term average rate of inflation.
3. Actuarial Cost Method: A mathematical budgeting procedure for allocating the dollar amount of the
“actuarial present value of future plan benefits” between the actuarial present value of future normal
cost and the actuarial accrued liability. Sometimes referred to as the “actuarial funding method”.
4. Actuarial Gain (Loss): A measure of the difference between actual experience and that expected
based upon a set of actuarial assumptions during the period between two actuarial valuation dates, in
accordance with the actuarial cost method being used. For example, if during a given year the assets
earn more than the investment return assumption, the amount of earnings above the assumption will
cause an unexpected reduction in UAAL, or “actuarial gain” as of the next valuation. These include
contribution gains and losses that result from actual contributions made being greater or less than the
level determined under the policy.
5. Actuary: A person who is trained in the applications of probability and compound interest to
problems in business and finance that involve payment of money in the future, contingent upon the
occurrence of future events. Most actuaries in the United States are Members of the American
Academy of Actuaries (MAAA). The Society of Actuaries (SOA) is an international research, education
and membership organization for actuaries in the life and health insurance, employee benefits, and
pension fields. The SOA administers a series of examinations leading initially to Associateship and the
designation ASA and ultimately to Fellowship with the designation FSA.
6. Amortization: Paying off an interest-bearing liability by means of periodic payments of interest and
principal, as opposed to paying it off with a lump sum payment.
7. Entry Age Normal Actuarial Cost Method: A funding method that calculates the Normal Cost as a
level percentage of pay over the working lifetime of the plan’s members.
8. Experience Study: An actuarial investigation of demographic and economic experiences of the system
during the period studied. The investigation is made for the purpose of updating the actuarial
assumptions used in valuing the actuarial liabilities.
Oro Valley Police Dept. G-5
Actuarial Funding Policy
Glossary (Concluded)
9. Funding Value of Assets: The value of current plan assets recognized for valuation purposes.
Generally based on a phased-in recognition of all or a portion of market related investment return.
Sometimes referred to as Actuarial Value of Assets.
10. Market Value of Assets: The fair value of plan assets as reported in the plan’s audited financial
statements.
11. Normal Cost (NC): The annual cost assigned, under the actuarial funding method, to current and
subsequent plan years. Sometimes referred to as “current service cost”. Any payment toward the
unfunded actuarial accrued liability is not part of the normal cost.
12. Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL): The positive difference, if any, between the actuarial
accrued liability and valuation assets. Sometimes referred to as “unfunded accrued liability”.

1 At the November 28, 2018 Board of Trustees meeting, the PSPRS Board of Trustees decided not to change the Tier 3 Pension and Health Rates for Employers and
Employees, calculated with the June 30, 2017 valuation, for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2019. Tier 3 total DB rate of 9.94% equals 9.68% for Pension plus 0.26%
for Health.
2 Tiers 1 and 2 total DB Normal Cost of 14.48% equals 14.15% for Pension plus 0.33% for Health.
3 Tiers 1 and 2 total DB Unfunded of of 24.11% equals 24.11% for Pension plus 0.00% for Health.
4 Per statute, any positive unfunded liability for Tiers 1 and 2 is to be applied to all Tier 3 (DB and DC) payrolls (ARS § 38-843(B)), where the total
of 24.11% equals 24.11% for Pension plus 0.00% for Health.
5 The 4.00% employer match for Tier 2 Hybrid members is for a short period of time depending on the membership date of the employee at which
point the rate will change to 3%. (ARS § 38-868(C))
6 Employers that pay into Social Security on behalf of their members do not participate in the Hybrid Plan.

Re: Town of Oro Valley Dispatchers
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The results of the June 30, 2018 annual actuarial valuation of members covered by the Arizona
Corrections Officer Retirement Plan (CORP) are presented in this report.
This report was prepared at the request of the Board and is intended for use by the Retirement Plan and
those designated or approved by the Board. This report may be distributed to parties other than the
Retirement Plan only in its entirety and only with the permission of the Board. GRS is not responsible for
unauthorized use of this report.
The purpose of this valuation is to measure the Retirement Plan’s funding progress and to determine the
employer contribution for the 2019-2020 fiscal year. The funding objective is stated in Article 4, Chapter
5, Title 38, Section 891A of the Arizona Revised Statutes. In addition, this consolidated report provides
summary information for CORP participating employers. This report should not be relied on for any
purpose other than the purposes described herein. Determinations of financial results, associated with
the benefits described in this report, for purposes other than those identified above may be significantly
different.
The computed contribution rate shown on page A-2 may be considered as a minimum contribution rate
that complies with the Board’s funding policy. Users of this report should be aware that contributions
made at that rate do not guarantee benefit security. Given the importance of benefit security to any
retirement system, we suggest that contributions to the System in excess of the Statutory requirements
presented in this report be considered (as shown in Appendix B-1).
The findings in this report are based on data and other information through June 30, 2018. 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 scope of an actuarial valuation do es not
include an analysis of the potential range of such future measurements.

This valuation assumes the continuing ability of the participating employers to make the contributions
necessary to fund this plan. A determination regarding whether or not the participating employers are
actually able to do so is outside our scope of expertise. Consequently, we did not perform such an
analysis.
The valuation was based upon information furnished by the Retirement Plan, concerning Retirement Plan
benefits, financial transactions, plan provisions and active members, terminated members, retirees and
beneficiaries. We checked for internal reasonability and year-to-year consistency, but did not audit the
data. We are not responsible for the accuracy or completeness of the information provided by the
Retirement Plan.
In addition, this report was prepared using certain assumptions approved by the Board as described in the
section of this report entitled Methods and Assumptions.
This report has been prepared by actuaries who have substantial experience valuing public employee
retirement plans. To the best of our knowledge, the information contained in this report is accurate and
fairly presents the actuarial position of the Arizona Corrections Officer 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.
Mark Buis, James D. Anderson and Francois Pieterse are Members of the American Academy of Actuaries

Executive Summary/Board Summary
1. Required Employer Contributions to Support Retirement Benefits
The funded status as of June 30, 2018 and the computed employer contribution for the fiscal year
beginning July 1, 2019 are shown below:
Tier 1 & Tier 2 Members:
Averages Pension Health Total
Employer Contribution Rate 59.94%0.00%59.94%
Funded Status 45.4%137.1%47.0%
Tier 3 members (hired on or after July 1, 2018) – pension only:
• Employer contribution for Tier 3 Defined Benefit benefits*:0.00%
• Employer contribution for Tier 1 and Tier 2 unfunded liability:53.52%
• Total employer contribution as a percentage of Tier 3 payroll:53.52%
* Administrative Office of the Courts Probation and Surveillance only.
2. Contribution Rate Comparison
The chart below compares the results for this valuation of the Retirement Plan with the results of the
prior year’s valuation:
Valuation Date Pension Health Total
6/30/2017 61.36%0.00%61.36%
6/30/2018 59.94%0.00%59.94%
Please note that the pension contribution rate shown above decreased from the June 30, 2017 valuation
for most employers. The contribution rate decreased in the current valuation primarily due to the prior
Permanent Benefit Increase (PBI) being replaced with a CPI-based Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for all
retirees. In addition, benefit structure changes impact those hired on or after July 1, 2018 (Tier 3). This
Tier has a different level of benefit promise, which is financed on a 1/3 – 2/3 basis between
Employer/Employee. Existing unfunded accrued liabilities are financed over all employer payroll.
The reasons for the change in contribution rate and funded status are described in more detail on pages
2-4 of this report.

Asset Losses – Asset losses are based on 7-year smoothing of assets. The return on market value was
7.0% for the year ending June 30, 2018. However, based on funding value, the average return for the
last 7 years is approximately 6.0%.
Town of Oro Valley Dispatchers - 3 -
Executive Summary/Board Summary
Tier 2 – The decrease in the contribution rate is due to the fact that as current members retire, they are
replaced by new members who have a less costly Tier of Benefits (for members hired on or after January
1, 2012). This will typically result in a declining normal cost rate that will occur gradually over time as the
population mix (Tier 1 / Tier 2) changes. Occasionally, the normal cost rate may increase if there has been
a shift in demographics during the year.
Payroll Base – Under the current amortization policy, the contribution rate is developed based on a
percentage of payroll. To the extent that overall payroll is lower/greater than last year’s payroll projected
payroll growth, the contribution rate will increase/decrease as a result. For example, if there were 2
active members in the Plan last year and one of the members retired, the existing unfunded liability
would now be spread over the payroll of one member instead of 2 members and the resulting
contribution rate would be much higher. Therefore, it is important to consider the overall dollar level of
the contribution along with the contribution rate. The dollar contributions are also shown on Page A-2.
The change in the funded status is primarily due to gains or losses relative to the overall salary
assumption, which includes both the wage base assumption and the merit and longevity components of
the salary assumption. To the extent that payroll is lower/greater than last year’s payroll projected
payroll growth, the funded status rate will increase/decrease as a result.
PBI Gain/(Loss) – Under the current structure, retired members will receive a Permanent Benefit
increase (PBI) under certain conditions based on the current year excess asset return. The valuation
assumes a resulting average PBI of approximately 2.25% per year. Since there were no PBI for CORP
members this year, this resulted in a gain for the Plan with a corresponding decrease in the contribution
rate and increase in the funded status.
Benefit Changes – Changes to the benefit structure of CORP are summarized in section F of this
report. Some of the key benefit changes follow:
Replace the prior Permanent Benefit Increase with a CPI-based Cost of Living Adjustment
(COLA) for all retirees.
Pension reform changed the benefit formula for Tier 3 DB members (Administrative Office of the
Courts - Probation & Surveillance Officers hired on or after July 1, 2018 only).
Effective June 30, 2018, the plan is essentially closed to new hires. Other than Administrative
Office of the Courts - Probation & Surveillance Officers, those hired on or after July 1, 2018 do not
enter this plan, but instead enter a Defined Contribution Plan. A Statutory contribution is
developed as a level percent of payroll for all employees of the employer (meaning members of
this Retirement Plan and the Defined Contribution plan). In addition, this valuation develops a
contribution in accordance with funding standards for a Closed pension plan, under which
unfunded accrued liabilities are amortized on a level dollar basis, which increases the contribution
rate in the short term.
For newly hired Administrative Office of the Courts - Probation & Surveillance Officers during the
year ending June 30, 2019, a 1/3-2/3 split of Tier 3 plan Normal cost between employees and
employers applies.

Executive Summary/Board Summary
Other – This is the combination of all factors other than those listed above and primarily reflects
demographic gains and losses (i.e., retirement, turnover, disability, etc. experience that differs from the
actuarial assumptions). While this number is small on a combined plan basis, it will vary considerably
from employer to employer, especially for employers with a small number of members.
4. Amortization Period
Unfunded liabilities were amortized as level percent-of-payroll over a closed period of 18 years. If the
actuarial value of assets exceeded the actuarial accrued liability, the excess was amortized over an open
period of 20 years and applied as a credit to reduce the normal cost which otherwise would be payable.
5. Looking Ahead
The continuing effect of prior asset losses was dampened by the 7-year smoothing period. There remain
unrecognized investment losses that will, in the absence of other gains, put upward pressure on the
contribution rate next year.
If the June 30, 2018 pension valuation results were based on market value instead of smoothed funding
value, the pension funded percent of the plan would be 44.5% (instead of 45.4%), and the pension
employer contribution requirement would be 60.94% of payroll (instead of 59.94%).
6. Conclusion
Despite changes in benefit structure that decreased contribution rates for most employers and after
accounting for active member contributions, for most plans, the retired lives are less than fully funded on
a funding value of assets basis, it remains most important that this Plan receive contributions at least
equal to the rates shown in this report. Given the importance of benefit security to any retirement
system, we suggest that contributions to the System in excess of the Statutory requirements presented in
this report be considered (as shown in Appendix B-1).
SECTION A
INTRODUCTION
Town of Oro Valley Dispatchers A-1
Funding Objective
The purpose of the annual actuarial valuation of the Arizona Corrections Officer Retirement Plan as of
June 30, 2018 is to:
Compute the liabilities associated with benefits likely to be paid on behalf of current retired
and active members. This information is contained in Section B.
Compare accrued assets with accrued liabilities to assess the funded condition. This
information is contained in Section B.
Compute the employers’ recommended contribution rates for the Fiscal Year beginning July
1, 2019. This information is contained in Section A.
This objective is stated in Article 4, Chapter 5, Title 38, Section 891A of the Arizona Revised Statutes.
Contribution Rates
The Retirement Plan is supported by member contributions, employer contributions and investment
income from Retirement Plan assets.
Contributions which satisfy the funding objective are determined by the annual actuarial valuation and
are sufficient to:
(1) Cover the actuarial present value of benefits allocated to the current year by the actuarial cost
method described in Section E (the normal cost); and
(2) Finance over a period of future years the actuarial present value of benefits not covered by
valuation assets and anticipated future normal costs (the unfunded actuarial accrued liability).
Computed contribution rates for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2019 are shown on page A-2.

Year Ended June 30:
The funding value of assets recognizes assumed investment return (line E2) fully each year. Differences between actual and assumed
investment return (line E3) are phased-in over a closed 7-year period. During periods when investment performance exceeds the assumed rate,
funding value of assets will tend to be less than market value. During periods when investment performance is less than the assumed rate,
funding value of assets will tend to be greater than market value. The funding value of assets is unbiased with respect to market value. At any
time it may be either greater or less than market value. If actual and assumed rates of investment return are exactly equal for 7 consecutive
years, the funding value will become equal to market value.

Year Ended June 30:
The funding value of assets recognizes assumed investment return (line E2) fully each year. Differences between actual and assumed
investment return (line E3) are phased-in over a closed 7-year period. During periods when investment performance exceeds the assumed rate,
funding value of assets will tend to be less than market value. During periods when investment performance is less than the assumed rate,
funding value of assets will tend to be greater than market value. The funding value of assets is unbiased with respect to market value. At any
time it may be either greater or less than market value. If actual and assumed rates of investmen t return are exactly equal for 7 consecutive
years, the funding value will become equal to market value.

SECTION E
METHODS AND ASSUMPTIONS
Town of Oro Valley Dispatchers E-1
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 an individual entry-age actuarial cost method
having the following characteristics:
(i) the annual normal costs for each individual active member, payable from the date of
hire to the date of retirement, are sufficient to accumulate to the value of the
member’s benefits.
(ii) each annual normal cost is a constant percentage of the member’s year-by-year
projected covered pay.
The entry-age actuarial cost method allocates the actuarial present value of each member's projected
benefits on a level basis over the member's compensation between the entry age of the member and the
assumed exit ages.
Actuarial Accrued Liability – The actuarial accrued liability is the portion of actuarial present value
allocated to service rendered prior to the valuation date, including experience gains and losses. The
actuarial accrued liability was computed using the assumptions summarized in this report.
Actuarial Value of System Assets – The actuarial value of assets recognizes assumed investment income
fully each year. Differences between actual and assumed investment income are phased-in over a closed
7-year period subject to a 20% corridor. 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 the assumed rate, the actuarial value of assets will tend to be greater
than market value.
Financing of Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liabilities – The actuarial value of assets were subtracted from
the computed actuarial accrued liability. Any unfunded amount would be amortized as level percent-of-
payroll over a closed period of 18 years. If the actuarial value of assets exceeded the actuarial accrued
liability, the excess was amortized over an open period of 20 years and applied as a credit to reduce the
normal cost which otherwise would be payable.
Active member payroll was assumed to increase 3.50% annually for the purpose of computing the
amortization payment (credit) as a level percent-of-payroll for both Defined Benefit and Defined
Contribution Plan members.
Town of Oro Valley Dispatchers E-2
Valuation Assumptions
Funded Ratio – Unless otherwise indicated, a funded ratio measurement presented in this report is based
upon the actuarial accrued liability and the actuarial value of assets. Unless otherwise indicated, with
regard to any funded status measurements presented in this report:
1. The measurement is inappropriate for assessing the sufficiency of plan assets to cover the
estimated cost of settling the plan’s benefit obligations, in other words, of transferring the
obligations to an unrelated third party in an arm’s length market value type transaction.
2. The measurement is dependent upon the actuarial cost method which, in combination with the
plan’s amortization policy, affects the timing and amounts of future contributions. The amount of
future contributions will most certainly differ from those assumed in this report due to future
actual experience differing from assumed experience based upon actuarial assumptions. A funded
ratio measurement in this report of 100% is not synonymous with no required future
contributions. If the funded ratio were 100%, the plan would still require future normal cost
contributions (i.e., contributions to cover the cost of the active membership accruing an additional
year of service credit).
3. The measurement would produce a different result if the market value of assets were used
instead of the actuarial value of assets, unless the market value of assets is used in the
measurement.
Stabilization Reserve – Beginning with the June 30, 2007 valuation and with each subsequent valuation,
if the actuarial value of assets exceeds the actuarial accrued liabilities, one half of this excess in each year
is allocated to a Stabilization Reserve. The Stabilization Reserve is excluded from the calculation of the
employer contribution rates. The Stabilization Reserve continues to accumulate as long as the plan is
over-funded. Once the plan becomes under-funded, the Stabilization Reserve will be used to dampen
increases in the employer contribution rates. With the June 30, 2018 valuation, the Plan is underfunded
and the Stabilization Reserve is zero.

Valuation Assumptions
Assumptions for this valuation are based on the most recent experience study performed in 2017.
The rate of investment return was 7.40% a year, compounded annually net of investment and
administrative expenses.
The assumed real return is the rate of return in excess of wage growth. Considering other assumptions
used in the valuation, the 7.40% nominal rate translates to a net real return over wage growth of 3.90% a
year.
The rates of pay increase used for individual members are shown below. This assumption is used to
project a member’s current pay to the pay upon which Plan benefits will be based. This assumption was
first used for the June 30, 2017 valuation of the Plan.
Active member payroll is assumed to grow at 3.50% per year.
The price inflation component of the investment return rate and the wage inflation rate is assumed to be
2.50%.

Mortality Tables. The mortality rates utilized are based upon the RP-2014 tables, as extended, and
include a margin for future mortality improvements projected using a fully generational improvement
scale. The tables used were as follows:
Healthy Pre-Retirement: The RP-2014 Employee Mortality Tables, extended via cubic spline,
adjusted backward to 2006 using scale MP-2014, setting it as the 2017 base year, with future
mortality improvements assumed each year using 75% of scale MP-2016.
Healthy Post-Retirement: The RP-2014 Healthy Annuitant Mortality Tables, extended via cubic
spline, adjusted backward to 2006 using scale MP-2014, setting it as the 2017 base year, with
future mortality improvements assumed each year using 75% of scale MP-2016.
Disability Retirement: The RP-2014 Disabled Mortality Table, extended via cubic spline, extended
via cubic spline, adjusted backward to 2006 using scale MP-2014, setting it as the 2017 base year,
with future mortality improvements assumed each year using 75% of scale MP-2016.
This assumption was first used for the June 30, 2017 valuation of the Plan.

Summary of Assumptions Used
June 30, 2018
Miscellaneous and Technical Assumptions
Marriage Assumption: 75% of males and 50% 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.
Pay Increase Timing: Six months after the valuation date. This means that the pays
received are assumed to be annual rates of pay on the valuation
date as opposed to W-2 type earnings for the prior 12 months.
Decrement Timing: Decrements of all types are assumed to occur mid-year.
Eligibility Testing: Eligibility for benefits is determined based upon the age nearest
birthday and service nearest whole year on the date the
decrement is assumed to occur.
Decrement Relativity: Decrement rates are used directly from the experience study,
without adjustment for multiple decrement table effects.
Decrement Operation: Disability and turnover decrements do not operate during
retirement eligibility.
Service Credit Accruals: It is assumed that members accrue one year of service credit per
year.
Incidence of Contributions: 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.
Normal Form of Benefit: A straight life payment is the assumed normal form of benefit for
members who are not married, and the 80% Joint and Survivor
form of payment with no reduction, for married members. 75% of
males and 50% of females are assumed to be married at the time
of retirement.
Benefit Service: Exact fractional service is used to determine the amount of
benefit payable.
Health Care Utilization: 60% of future retirees are expected to utilize retiree health care.
75% of males and 50% of females are assumed to be married.
Town of Oro Valley Dispatchers E-9
Summary of Assumptions Used
June 30, 2018
Miscellaneous and Technical Assumptions
Assumed Future Cost-of-Living
Adjustments (COLA):
The cost-of-living adjustment will be based on the average annual
percentage change in the Metropolitan Phoenix-Mesa Consumer
Price Index published by the United States Department of Labor,
Bureau of Statistics. We have assumed that to be 1.75% for this
valuation.
Interest on Reverse DROP: The lump sum distribution is credited as though it accrued monthly
from the Reverse DROP date to the date the member elected to
participate in the Reverse DROP (plus interest equal to the yield on
a five (5) year Treasury note as of the first day of the month as
published by the Federal Reserve Board). For purposes of this
valuation we used an interest rate of 2%.
Financing of Unfunded
Actuarial Accrued Liabilities
(Money in the Pipes):
The rate-setting valuation projects the unfunded actuarial accrued
liability to the beginning of the applicable fiscal year to determine
the applicable unfunded amortization rate.

A corrections officer may retire upon meeting one of the following age and service requirements:
a) Any age with 20 (25 for dispatchers) or more years of credited service
(effective August 9, 2001);
b) Age 62 years with 10 or more years of credited service; or
c) A combination of age and credited service equal to 80 (effective July 1, 1995).
The amount of normal pension at 20 years of credited service is 50% of average monthly salary with 2%
increments for every year over 20 years of credited service up to 25 years of credited service. With 25 or
more years of credited service the accrual rate is 2.5% for each year. The normal pension for someone
with less than 20 years of credited service is 2.5% for each year of credited service.
Town of Oro Valley Dispatchers F-2
Summary of Plan Provisions
Valued and/or Considered
The maximum amount payable as a normal retirement pension is 80% of the average monthly
compensation.
For members hired after January 1, 2012 and before July 1, 2018:
First day of month following the attainment of age 52.5 and completion of 25 years of service or the
attainment of age 62 and completion of 10 years of service.

Age 62 and 10 years of service, 2.5% of average monthly compensation per year of credited
service.
Age 52.5 with 25 or more years of credited service, 62.5% of average monthly compensation, plus
2.5% of average monthly compensation for each year of credited service over 25.
Age 52.5 with 25 years of service, but less than 25 years of credited service, 2.5% of average
monthly compensation multiplied total credited service.
The maximum amount payable as a normal retirement pension is 80% of the average monthly
compensation.
For members hired after July 1, 2018 (AOC Probation and Surveillance Only):
First day of month following the attainment of age 55 and completion of 10 years of credited service.
The amount of monthly normal pension is equal to the member’s average monthly compensation
multiplied by the number of whole and fractional years of credited service multiplied by the following:
At least 10 but less than 15 years of credited service: 1.25%
At least 15 but less than 20 years of credited service: 1.50%
At least 20 but less than 22 years of credited service: 1.75%
At least 22 but less than 25 years of credited service: 2.00%
At least 25 years of credited service: 2.25%
The maximum amount payable as a normal retirement pension is 80% of the average monthly
compensation.
Early Retirement (reduction for age): Members who are hired on or after July 1, 2018 and who have
earned at least 10 years of credited service may retire at 52.5 of age and will receive an actuarially
equivalent retirement benefit to the benefit listed above.
Vested Termination (deferred annuity): Only available for members hired before January 1, 2012.
Termination of covered position employment with 10 or more years of credited service. Pension is
calculated based on twice the member’s accumulated contributions with payments commencing at age
62. Benefit is forfeited if accumulated contributions are refunded.

Disability Retirement. A member who is injured in the performance of his duties which totally and
permanently prevent him from performing a reasonable range of duties in his department and was the
result of either physical contact with an inmate, responding to a confrontational situation with an inmate
or a job-related motor vehicle accident may be retired under accidental disability. A corrections officer
who becomes incapacitated for any gainful employment, as the direct and proximate result of
performance of duty as a corrections officer, may be retired by the Board of Trustees under total and
permanent disability. The amount of pension for both types of disability is 50 percent of average monthly
salary.
A member who has a total and permanent disability that prevents the performance of a reasonable range
of duties in his department may be retired by the Board of Trustees under an ordinary disability (non-duty
related). The amount of the pension is a percentage of normal retirement benefit. The percentage based
on credited service divided by 20 (25 for dispatchers).
DROP. Beginning July 1, 2006, the CORP shall offer the Reverse Deferred Retirement Option Plan
(Reverse DROP) to members that are eligible for a normal pension (based on service and age) applicable
to a membership date that is either prior to, or after January 1, 2012 (who is not awarded an accidental,
ordinary or total and permanent disability pension). Under the Reverse DROP, the member must
voluntarily and irrevocably elect to terminate employment and receive a normal retirement upon
participation in the Reverse DROP. The Reverse DROP date is the first day of the mo nth immediately
following completion of required credited service, or a date not more than sixty (60) consecutive months
before the date the member elects to participate in the Reverse DROP, whichever is later.
The member’s pension will be calculated using the factors of credited service and average monthly
benefit compensation in effect on the Reverse DROP Date. The lump sum distribution is credited as
though it accrued monthly from the Reverse DROP date to the date the member elected to participate in
the Reverse DROP (plus interest equal to the yield on a five (5) year Treasury note as of the first day of the
month as published by the Federal Reserve Board).
Survivor Pensions. Payable to the eligible beneficiary of a retired corrections officer or an active
corrections officer. An eligible beneficiary is a surviving spouse who was married to the retired or active
corrections officer for at least two years. A surviving spouse’s pension terminates upon death. The
amount of a surviving spouse’s pension is 80% of the pension being paid the deceased retired corrections
officer and 40% (100% if duty-related) of the average monthly salary of the deceased active corrections
officer. Eligible surviving children are paid equal shares of the pension which would have been payable to
a surviving spouse if a surviving spouse pension is not being paid. If no pension is payable because of the
death of an active member, a refund of twice the member’s accumulated contributions is paid to the
beneficiary.
Other Terminations. The member is paid a refund of accumulated member contributions. Members
hired before January 1, 2012 also receive an additional amount if the member has at least five years of
service credited. The additional amount is a percent, based on service credit, of the member contribution
amount, ranging from 25% (with five years of service credited) to 100% (with 10 or more years of service
credited). Members hired on or after January 1, 2012 receive interest.

SECTION G
FUNDING POLICY
Town of Oro Valley Dispatchers G-1
Actuarial Funding Policy
Introduction
The purpose of this Actuarial Funding Policy is to record the funding objectives and policy set by the Board
for the Arizona Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS). The Board establishes this Funding
Policy to help ensure the systematic funding of future benefit payments for members of the Retirement
System.
In 2012, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) approved two new financial reporting
standards. GASB Statement No. 67, “Financial Reporting for Pension Plans” replaces the requirements of
Statement No. 25. GASB Statement No. 68, “Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions” replaces
the requirements of Statements No. 27 and No. 50. Prior to the changes, the Annual Required
Contribution (ARC) rate was used as a basis for funding decisions. The new GASB statements separate
accounting cost (expense) from funding cost (contributions), necessitating the creation of this funding
policy.
This funding policy shall be reviewed by the Board annually for several years following initial adoption
until the next experience study. Subsequently, it shall be reviewed every five years in conjunction with
the experience study.
Funding Objectives
1. Maintain adequate assets so that current plan assets plus future contributions and investment
earnings are sufficient to fund all benefits expected to be paid to members and their beneficiaries.
2. Maintain stability of employer contribution rates, consistent with other funding objectives.
3. Maintain public policy goals of accountability and transparency. Each policy element is clear in intent
and effect, and each should allow an assessment of whether, how and when the funding
requirements of the plan will be met.
4. Promote intergenerational equity. Each generation of members and employers should incur the cost
of benefits for the employees who provide services to them, rather than deferring those costs to
future members and employers.
5. Provide a reasonable margin for adverse experience to help offset risks.
6. Continue progress of systematic reduction of the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liabilities (UAAL).
Town of Oro Valley Dispatchers G-2
Actuarial Funding Policy
Elements of Actuarial Funding Policy
1. Actuarial Cost Method
a. The Individual Entry Age Normal level percent-of-pay actuarial cost method of valuation shall be
used in determining Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL) and Normal Cost. Differences in the past
between assumed experience and actual experience (“actuarial gains and losses”) shall become
part of the AAL. The Normal Cost shall be determined on an individual basis for each active
member.
2. Asset Smoothing Method
a. The investment gains or losses of each valuation period, resulting from the difference between
actual investment return and assumed investment return, shall be recognized annually in level
amounts over 7 years in calculating the Funding Value of Assets.
b. The Funding Value of Assets so determined shall be subject to a 20% corridor relative to Market
Value of Assets.
3. Amortization Method
a. The Funding Value of Assets are subtracted from the computed AAL. Any unfunded amount is
amortized as a level percent-of-payroll over a closed period. If the Funding Value of Assets
exceeds the AAL, the excess is amortized over an open period of 20 years and applied as a credit
to reduce the Normal Cost otherwise payable.
4. Funding Target
a. The targeted funded ratio shall be 100%.
b. The maximum amortization period shall be 30 years.
c. If the funded ratio is between 100% and 120%, a minimum contribution equal to the Normal Cost
will be made.
Town of Oro Valley Dispatchers G-3
Actuarial Funding Policy
Elements of Actuarial Funding Policy
5. Risk Management
a. Assumption Changes
The actuarial assumptions used shall be those last adopted by the PSPRS Board based on the
most recent experience study and upon the advice and recommendation of the actuary. In
accordance with best practices, the actuary shall conduct an experience study every five years.
The results of the study shall be the basis for the actuarial assumption changes recommended
to the PSPRS Board.
The actuarial assumptions can be updated during the 5-year period if significant plan design
changes or other significant events occur, as advised by the actuary.
b. Amortization Method
The amortization method, Level Percent Closed, will ensure full payment of the UAAL over a
finite, systematically decreasing period not to exceed 30 years. The amortization period will
be reviewed once the period reaches 15 years.
c. Risk Measures
The following risk measures will be annually determined to provide quantifiable
measurements of risk and their movement over time.
(i) Classic measures currently determined
Funded ratio (assets/liability)
(ii) UAAL/Total Payroll
Measures the risk associated with contribution decreases relative impact on the
ability to fund the UAAL. An increase in this measure indicates a increase in
contribution risk.
(iii) Total Liability/Total Payroll
Measures the risk associated with the ability to respond to liability experience
through adjustments in contributions. An increase in this measure indicates an
increase in experience risk.

Actuarial Funding Policy
Glossary
1. Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL): The difference between (i) the actuarial present value of future plan
benefits, and (ii) the actuarial present value of future normal cost. Sometimes referred to as “accrued
liability” or “past service liability.”
2. Actuarial Assumptions: Estimates of future plan experience with respect to rates of mortality,
disability, turnover, retirement, rate or rates of investment income and salary increases. Decrement
assumptions (rates of mortality, disability, turnover and retirement) are generally based on past
experience, often modified for projected changes in conditions. Economic assumptions (salary
increases and investment income) consist of an underlying rate in an inflation -free environment plus a
provision for a long-term average rate of inflation.
3. Actuarial Cost Method: A mathematical budgeting procedure for allocating the dollar amount of the
“actuarial present value of future plan benefits” between the actuarial present value of future normal
cost and the actuarial accrued liability. Sometimes referred to as the “actuarial funding method.”
4. Actuarial Gain (Loss): A measure of the difference between actual experience and that expected
based upon a set of actuarial assumptions during the period between two actuarial valuation dates, in
accordance with the actuarial cost method being used. For example, if during a given year the assets
earn more than the investment return assumption, the amount of earnings above the assumption will
cause an unexpected reduction in UAAL, or “actuarial gain” as of the next valuation. These include
contribution gains and losses that result from actual contributions made being greater or less than the
level determined under the policy.
5. Actuary: A person who is trained in the applications of probability and compound interest to
problems in business and finance that involve payment of money in the future, contingent upon the
occurrence of future events. Most actuaries in the United States are Members of the American
Academy of Actuaries (MAAA). The Society of Actuaries (SOA) is an international research, education
and membership organization for actuaries in the life and health insurance, employee benefits, and
pension fields. The SOA administers a series of examinations leading initially to Associateship and the
designation ASA and ultimately to Fellowship with the designation FSA.
6. Amortization: Paying off an interest-bearing liability by means of periodic payments of interest and
principal, as opposed to paying it off with a lump sum payment.
7. Entry Age Normal Actuarial Cost Method: A funding method that calculates the Normal Cost as a
level percentage-of-pay over the working lifetime of the plan’s members.
8. Experience Study: An actuarial investigation of demographic and economic experiences of the system
during the period studied. The investigation is made for the purpose of updating the actuarial
assumptions used in valuing the actuarial liabilities.
Town of Oro Valley Dispatchers G-5
Actuarial Funding Policy
9. Funding Value of Assets: The value of current plan assets recognized for valuation purposes.
Generally based on a phased-in recognition of all or a portion of market related investment return.
Sometimes referred to as Actuarial Value of Assets.
10. Market Value of Assets: The fair value of plan assets as reported in the plan’s audited financial
statements.
11. Normal Cost (NC): The annual cost assigned, under the actuarial funding method, to current and
subsequent plan years. Sometimes referred to as “current service cost.” Any payment toward the
unfunded actuarial accrued liability is not part of the normal cost.
12. Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL): The positive difference, if any, between the actuarial
accrued liability and valuation assets. Sometimes referred to as “unfunded accrued liability.”

Closed Pension Plan Contribution Recommendation – Tier 1/2
The CORP Statutory contribution rate is developed using not only payroll of the members receiving
Defined Benefits (DB) from this Plan, but also factors in payroll for future members who receive no
Defined Benefits from this plan, but rather receive Defined Contribution (DC) plan benefits from a
different plan. In this way, the statutory contribution is based on a level-percent of payroll approach that
considers both DB and DC pay.
When considering the Defined Benefit Plan on its own, level percent financing cannot apply due to the
ever decreasing payroll for members covered by the Plan. In this case, unfunded liabilities are amortized
on a level-dollar basis shown in the development that follows below.
The CORP statutory contribution rates for Tiers 1 & 2 are shown on page A-2. The information below is
