Consolidated February 2024 Monthly Financial Report
Town Manager’s Office
TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
DATE: April 12, 2024
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Jeff Wilkins, Town Manager
David Gephart, Chief Financial Officer
SUBJECT: February 2024 Financial Update
This financial update is intended to provide an overview and status of financial results for the
Town’s selected funds through February 2024 for fiscal year 2023/24. Please note that all
amounts are preliminary, un-audited and subject to change. Additionally, estimates
reflected in monthly financial updates may not include any adjusting audit entries required
at year-end.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Revenues and expenditures are performing well compared to budget. Further details are as
follows:
General Fund
In the General Fund (see attachment A), revenues total $39.0 million or 67.9% of budget, while
uses are at $37.0 million or 58.8% of budget.
Highway Fund
In the Highway Fund (see attachment B), sources total $2.9 million or 48.4% of budget, while
expenditures total $4.0 million or 62.5% of budget.
Community Center Fund
In the Community Center Fund (see attachment C-1, C-2 and C-3), revenues total $7.2 million or
73.9% of budget, while uses total $7.5 million or 73.5% of budget.
BACKGROUND AND DETAILED INFORMATION
GENERAL FUND
Attachment A shows General Fund revenues and expenditures through February, other financing
uses and year-end estimates for each category. The estimated year-end projections in the
General Fund are as follows:
Revenues $58,830,758
Less:
Expenditures ($49,816,677)
Other Financing Uses ($12,274,644)
Preliminary Estimated Decrease in Fund Balance: ($3,260,564)*
Estimated FY24 Year-End Fund Balance $20,537,928**
*The estimated decrease in fund balance is due to a budgeted transfer of $10 million to the Capital
Fund for CIP projects.
**The ending fund balance is currently estimated to exceed the 30% reserve policy by $5.4 million.
General Fund Revenues
Local sales tax collections in the General Fund total $18.4 million or 69.8% of the budgeted
amount of $26.4 million and overall are performing better than anticipated. Retail
collections total $6.2 million, which is 1.7% greater than the same time period last fiscal
year. Restaurant/bar collections total $1.7 million which is 3.2% greater than the same time
period last fiscal year. Bed tax collections total $1.3 million which is 2.2% less than the
same time period last fiscal year. Construction sales tax collections total $3.9 million
through February, which is 3.9% less than collections from the same time period last fiscal
year. (The budgeted decrease for construction sales tax is 16.6%). Total local sales tax
revenue in the General Fund is expected to come in about $1.1 million or 4.1% above
budget due to stronger performance in construction, remote seller, and utilities. The low
growth in retail sales tax is more than made up by the increase in remote seller sales tax
which indicates a greater shift to online purchases from brick-and-mortar stores compared
to the prior year. Please see attachment E for detailed information on General Fund local
sales tax collections.
State shared revenues total $15.1 million or 65.6% of the budget amount of $23.0 million.
These revenue sources are comprised of state shared sales taxes, state shared income
taxes, auto-lieu fees, and Smart and Safe shared taxes. At this time, these revenues are
forecasted to come in 0.2% under budget due to lower trending vehicle license tax, state
income tax, and Smart & Safe tax.
License and permit revenues total about $1.4 million or 78.7% of the budget amount of
$1.7 million. A total of 108 Single Family Residential (SFR) permits have been issued
through February (119 budgeted). License and permit revenues are expected to come in
$203,000 above budget, due to greater than expected commercial and residential
development activity.
Charges for services revenues total $1.9 million or 59.0% of the budget amount of $3.2
million. Cost allocation charges to the Town’s enterprise funds for services provided, as
well as Parks & Recreation fees, make up the bulk of this revenue category. Charges for
services are forecasted to come in about $340,000 or 10.6% below budget due to a
reduction in the enterprise service charge, lower-than-expected engineering plan review
fees and court fees, and no transit farebox revenues.
Other revenues are forecasted to come in about $413,000 above budget due to a rebate
received from the Arizona Municipal Risk Retention Pool (AMRRP) and greater than
expected interest income.
General Fund Uses
General Fund uses total $37.0 million or 58.8% of budget through February.
Personnel costs are forecasted to come in about $0.7 million or 1.9% less than budget,
due to a combination of vacancy savings, position refills and budgeted PSPRS
contributions.
Operations and maintenance are forecasted to come in about $20,000 or 0.1% less than
budget, due to savings in travel and training and outside professional services.
Capital costs are forecasted to come in on budget.
Transfers out of the General Fund are expected to end the fiscal year on budget. Note that
actuals through February reflect the budgeted transfer to debt service and 1/2 of the
budgeted transfer to the Capital Fund for CIP.
HIGHWAY FUND
Attachment B shows Highway Fund revenues and expenditures through February, other financing
sources, and year-end estimates for each category. The estimated year-end projections in the
Highway Fund are as follows:
Revenues $4,525,233
Transfers In $1,500,000
Less:
Expenditures ($6,463,787)
Preliminary Estimated Decrease in Fund Balance: ($438,554)
Estimated FY24 Year-End Fund Balance $440,378
Please note the negative fund balance on attachment D is expected to be temporary and will be
corrected when the budgeted transfer from the Capital Fund is posted.
Highway Fund Revenues
State shared highway user funds (HURF) total about $2.7 million or 62.6% of the budget
amount of $4.3 million. These revenues are projected to come in on budget at this time.
Interest income is expected to come in at a favorable budget variance of $80,000, due
primarily to earnings in the State’s Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP).
Other minor revenues in the Highway Fund are expected to come in at a favorable budget
variance of $12,625 due to insurance recoveries.
Highway Fund Expenditures
Highway Fund expenditures through February are at $4.0 million or 62.5% of the adopted
budget of $6.5 million. Highway Fund expenditures are projected to come in $5,004 under
budget due to personnel savings.
COMMUNITY CENTER FUND
Attachment C-1 shows consolidated Community Center Fund revenues and expenditures through
February, other financing uses, and year-end estimates for each category.
Attachment C-2 shows the monthly line-item detail for the contractor-managed operations,
specifically revenues and expenditures associated with golf, and 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 contractor operations for 36-hole, Pusch Ridge and F&B separately, as
well as capital investments for golf, half cent sales tax collections, and HOA contributions.
The estimated year-end projections in the Community Center Fund are as follows:
Revenues $10,560,329
Less:
Expenditures ($8,426,600)
Transfers Out ($1,717,203)
Preliminary Estimated Increase in Fund Balance: $416,526
Estimated FY24 Year-end Fund Balance $1,424,759
Community Center Fund Revenues
Revenues in the Community Center Fund through February total about $7.2 million or
73.9% of the budget amount of $9.7 million.
Contracted operating revenues total $3.7 million as of February, which is about $594,000
or 19.0% greater than the same time last fiscal year. Contracted revenues are estimated
to come in $574,000 or 12.5% over budget mostly due to member dues and greens fees.
Town operating revenues through February are at about $826,000 or 70.3% of the budget
amount of $1.2 million. Town operating revenues are expected to end the fiscal year about
$198,000 higher than budget due mainly to member dues. Recreation programs, daily
drop-ins and facility rental income are also expected to exceed budget expectations.
Local sales tax revenues through February total about $2.5 million or 67.0% of the budget
amount of $3.7 million. These collections are currently projected to come in $77,000 or
2.1% above budget, due to positive trends in the remote seller category.
Community Center Fund Uses
Expenditures in the Community Center Fund total $5.7 million or 68.1% of the budgeted
amount of $8.4 million.
Contracted operating expenditures total $3.5 million, or 71.3% of the budgeted amount of
$5.0 million. Contracted expenditures are currently estimated to come in 6.3% over budget
due to greater than expected utilities, labor costs, and cost of sales.
Town operating expenditures total about $1.1 million or 66.0% of budget and are currently
estimated to come in approximately $84,000 over budget due to trending of personnel
costs, as well as contracted program instructors.
Capital expenditures total about $1.1 million or 61.1% of budget and are currently
estimated to come in approximately $412,000 under budget due to $540,802 of capital
projects expected to carry over into next fiscal year, namely the Community Center flat roof
surface replacement, restaurant cooler/freezer modernization, and Vistoso Trails Nature
Preserve safety improvements. The budget carryover is partially offset by greater than
expected expenditures on equipment.
Transfers out are expected to end the year on budget. Note that actuals through February
reflect the full year budgeted transfer out to debt service.
The Town is not expecting any year-end sales tax support for golf operations for the current fiscal
year. Contracted operations have a projected net loss of $95,697 before outside HOA
contributions of $159,050, and local sales taxes generated from golf related operations estimated
at $131,015.

SUBJECT:
DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION OF DRAFT PUBLIC SAFETY PERSONNEL RETIREMENT
SYSTEM (PSPRS) PENSION FUNDING POLICY FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the draft PSPRS pension funding policy for next fiscal year.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Each local government must annually update its PSPRS pension funding policy according to the Arizona Revised
Statutes.
Highlights of the proposed PSPRS pension funding policy are the following:
1) The Annual Required Contribution (ARC) will be paid from operating revenues.
2) The Town, moving forward, will contribute the greater of the total contribution rate made to ASRS (24.28% for
next fiscal year) or the contribution rate prescribed by the most recent actuarial valuation (16.22% + 7.65% =
23.87%).
3) The 20-year amortization of any unfunded actuarial accrued liability will continue to be utilized.
The Town has set a target to be fully funded on its PSPRS Unfunded Accrued Actuarial Liability by June 30, 2036.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
The PSPRS pension funding policy is required by HB 2097, which amends Arizona Revised Statutes Title 38,
Chapter 5, Article 4, and was approved by the Governor on April 3, 2018. The policy must be updated and approved
annually by the governing body of a local government participating in the plan. The intent of the revision in state law
is to highlight to governing bodies and the public, the approach local governments are taking in addressing
unfunded, accrued, actuarial liabilities of their public safety retirement plan(s).
The draft policy pertaining to next fiscal year is attached and includes a number of updates from the current year,
including necessary updates to the actuarial assets, liabilities and unfunded accrued liabilities. A "redline" copy of
the draft showing all changes from the current policy is also attached.
Staff have also received the most current pension modeler distributed by the plan. A couple scenarios have been
run, one utilizing a 7.2% assumed earnings rate and the other utilizing a 6.5% assumed earnings rate. Slides will
be presented showing both scenarios.

EXHIBIT “A”
1
Town of Oro Valley
Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS & CORP)
Pension Funding Policy – FY23/24
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 statutory requirements of A.R.S. 38-863.01. The Council shall annually
assess the status of the Town’s PSPRS trust fund 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 benefits 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 previous 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 based on current actuarial valuations.
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 annual 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.
Oro Valley Town Council formally accepts the assets, liabilities, and current funding ratio of the
Town’s PSPRS and CORP trust funds from the June 30, 2022 actuarial valuations specified below.

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 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) through June 30,
2036 and beyond. 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 FY23/24 is estimated at $3.7 million for PSPRS and at $75,000 for CORP
and shall be paid from operating funds.
• At such time the ARC is projected to be reduced, the Town should endeavor to continue
paying the ARC as defined as the normal cost rate plus an additional contribution of $2.5
million, to maintain the funding ratio goal of 100%. This is due to historically poor investment
performance in the Plan and should assist in mitigating that risk should it continue.
• Retain 20-year amortization of unfunded liability
3
• Review Local board practices annually
• Periodically engage consultants to review actual results and recommend possible
adjustments or corrections as necessary
Payments to PSPRS will be as follows:
• In FY23, the Town will make approximately $2.01M in additional payments to CORP to fund
its unfunded actuarial liability.
• In FY24 and subsequent years, the Town will continue maintaining a 100% funding ratio by
making contributions of $2.5 million per year, above and beyond the normal cost rate
payment. If the funding ratio grows to over 110%, the Town Manager through the budget
process, may recommend applying funding to other Town priorities. If the funding ratio falls
below 100%, future additional payments will be made to restore the funding ratio back to
100%.
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, 2022

Town of Oro Valley
Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS & CORP)
Pension Funding Policy – FY24/25
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 statutory requirements of A.R.S. 38-863.01. The Council shall annually
assess the status of the Town’s PSPRS trust fund 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 benefits 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 previous 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 based on current actuarial valuations.
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 annual 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.
Oro Valley Town Council formally accepts the assets, liabilities, and current funding ratio of the
Town’s PSPRS and CORP trust funds from the June 30, 2023 actuarial valuations specified below.

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 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) through June 30,
2036 and beyond. 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:
• The total contribution rate to the police plan, as a baseline, will be the greater of the total
contribution rate made to ASRS for non-sworn employees or the minimum contribution rate
per the most recent actuarial report. This will continue until the Town achieves a 100%
funding ratio.
• The CORP plan does not require any additional contributions as it is fully funded.
• Retain 20-year amortization of unfunded liability.
• Review Local board practices annually.
• Periodically engage consultants to review actual results and recommend possible
adjustments or corrections as necessary.
3
Payments to the PSPRS Police pension plan will be as follows:
• In FY25, the Town will contribute an additional 14%, above and beyond the total contribution
rate prescribed above. Contributions are estimated as follows: Total Tier 1/2 Police pension
employer cost at 16.22% plus additional 14% - $1,019,289 + $865,956 = $1,885,245.
• In FY26 and beyond, the Town will reevaluate its additional percentage contributions based
upon future actuarial valuations and budget capacity.
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, 2023

Phoenix, AZ
Re: Actuarial Valuation Report as of June 30, 2023 for Town of Oro Valley - Dispatchers (556)
Dear Members of the Board:
We are pleased to present to the Board this report of the annual actuarial valuation of the Arizona Corrections
Officer Retirement Plan (CORP). The valuation was performed to determine whether the assets and
contributions are sufficient to provide the prescribed benefits and to develop the appropriate funding
requirements for the applicable plan year.
This report was prepared at the request of the Board and is intended for use by CORP and those designated or
approved by the Board. It documents the valuation of the consolidated plan and provides summary information
for CORP participating employers. This report may be provided to parties other than CORP only in its entirety
and only with the permission of the Board. Foster & Foster is not responsible for the unauthorized use of this
report.
The valuation has been conducted in accordance with generally accepted actuarial principles and practices,
including the applicable Actuarial Standards of Practice as issued by the Actuarial Standards Board, and reflects
laws and regulations issued to date pursuant to the provisions of Title 38, Chapter 5, Article 6 of the Arizona
Revised Statutes, as well as applicable federal laws and regulations. In our opinion, the assumptions used in
this valuation, as adopted by the Board of Trustees, represent reasonable expectations of anticipated plan
experience. Future actuarial measurements may differ significantly from the current measurements presented
in this report for a variety of reasons including changes in applicable laws, changes in plan provisions, changes
in assumptions, or plan experience differing from expectations. Due to the limited scope of the valuation, we
did not perform an analysis of the potential range of such future measurements.
The computed contribution rates shown in the “Contribution Results” section should be considered minimum
contribution rates that comply 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 Plan in excess of those presented in this
report be considered.
The funding percentages and unfunded accrued liability as measured based on the actuarial value of assets will
differ from similar measures based on the market value of assets. These measures, as provided, are appropriate
for determining the adequacy of future contributions, but may not be appropriate for the purpose of settling a
portion or all of the Plan’s liabilities.

In conducting the valuation, we have relied on personnel, plan design, and asset information supplied by CORP
through June 30, 2023 and the actuarial assumptions and methods described in the Actuarial Assumptions
section of this report. While we cannot verify the accuracy of all this information, the supplied information
was reviewed for consistency and reasonableness. As a result of this review, we have no reason to doubt the
substantial accuracy of the information and believe that it has produced appropriate results. This information,
along with any adjustments or modifications, is summarized in various sections of this report.
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.
In performing the analysis, we used third-party software to model (calculate) the underlying liabilities and costs.
These results are reviewed in the aggregate and for individual sample lives. The output from the software is
either used directly or input into internally developed models to generate the costs. All internally developed
models are reviewed as part of the process. As a result of this review, we believe that the models have produced
reasonable results. We do not believe there are any material inconsistencies among assumptions or unreasonable
output produced due to the aggregation of assumptions.
The undersigned are familiar with the immediate and long-term aspects of pension valuations and meet the
Qualification Standards of the American Academy of Actuaries necessary to render the actuarial opinions
contained herein. All sections of this report are considered an integral part of the actuarial opinions.
To our knowledge, no associate of Foster & Foster, Inc. working on valuations of the program has any direct
financial interest or indirect material interest in the Arizona Corrections Officer Retirement Plan, nor does
anyone at Foster & Foster, Inc. act as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Arizona Corrections Officer
Retirement Plan. Thus, there is no relationship existing that might affect our capacity to prepare and certify
this actuarial report.
If there are any questions, concerns, or comments about any of the items contained in this report, please contact
us at 239-433-5500.
Respectfully Submitted,
Foster & Foster, Inc.

Actuarial Valuation Report as of June 30, 2023 – Town of Oro Valley - Dispatchers (556) 1
I. SUMMARY OF REPORT
The regular annual actuarial valuation of the Arizona Corrections Officer Retirement Plan for the Town of Oro
Valley - Dispatchers, performed as of June 30, 2023, has been completed and the results are presented in this
Report. The purpose of this valuation 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 the section entitled “Liability Support.”
Compare accumulated assets with the liabilities to assess the funded condition. This information is
contained in the section entitled “Liability Support.”
Compute the employers’ recommended contribution rates for the Fiscal Year beginning July 1, 2024. This
information is contained in the section entitled “Contribution Results.”

Actuarial Audit 0.9% (1.5%)
Other 7.0% 6.6%
Funded Status This Valuation 100.5% 284.9%
Assets Experience – Asset gains and losses (relative to the assumed earnings rate) are smoothed over seven
years for Tiers 1 and 2. The return on the market value of assets for the year ending June 30, 2023 was
7.7%. On a smoothed, actuarial value of assets basis, however, the average return was 6.8%. This return
fell just short of the 2022 assumed earnings rate of 7.2%.
Payroll Base – Under the current amortization policy for Tiers 1 and 2, the contribution rate is developed
as a level percentage of payroll. Payroll for this purpose includes members of this plan and defined
contribution plan’s members that would have been in this plan. To the extent that actual payroll is
lower/greater than last year’s projected payroll, the contribution rate will increase/decrease as a result.
Liability Experience – Experience overall was unfavorable, driven by higher than expected salary
increases for actives.
Additional Contribution – Monies contributed in excess of the required contribution rate in order to pay
down the unfunded liability.
Assumption / Method Change – The Board continued the decrease in the payroll growth assumption from
2.00% to 1.50%.
Arizona Corrections Officer Retirement Plan
Actuarial Valuation Report as of June 30, 2023 – Town of Oro Valley - Dispatchers (556) 3
Audit Adjustment – An independent actuarial audit was performed during 2023, with recommendations
made in a detailed report. Following discussions with staff, several changes (both numeric and written)
were made as part of this valuation to improve the report going forward. The most notable change was
prorating the COLA benefit in the first year of retirement and revisiting the valuation of the reverse DROP
benefit.
Other – This is the combination of all other factors that could impact liabilities year-over-year, with the
primary sources being changes in member data.
4. Looking Ahead
The volatility in annual returns, which have produced both gains and losses in recent years, was dampened
by the asset smoothing reflected in the actuarial value of assets. The significant loss realized this year will,
in the absence of other gains, put upward pressure on the contribution rate next year.
If the June 30, 2023 pension valuation results were based on the market value of assets instead of the
actuarial value of assets, the pension funded percentage for Tiers 1 and 2 would be 98.5% (instead of
100.5%) and the pension employer contribution requirement would be 6.00% of payroll (instead of 6.00%).
5. Conclusion
The funded status for Tiers 1 and 2 will continue to improve if assumptions are met and contributions at
least equal to the rates determined for each employer are made to the fund. The recent adoption of a layered
amortization approach along with a plan to systematically lower the payroll growth assumption was an
excellent step to improve funding and ensure the Plan is on a viable path.

VI. ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS AND METHODS
Interest Rate 7.20% per year. This is the assumed earnings rate on System assets,
compounded annually, net of investment and administrative
expenses.
Salary Increases See table at the end of this section. This is an annual increase for
individual member’s salary. These rates are based on a 2022
experience study using actual plan experience.

Tier 3 Compensation Limit $72,947 for calendar 2023. Assumed increases of 2.00% per year
thereafter.
Cost-of-Living Adjustment 1.85%.
Mortality Rates These rates are used to project future decrements from the population
due to death.
Active Lives:
PubS-2010 Employee mortality, adjusted by a factor of 1.28 for male
members and 1.11 for female members, with generational improve-
ments using 85% of the most recent projection scale (currently Scale
MP-2021). 100% of active deaths are assumed to be in the line of
duty.
Inactive Lives:
PubS-2010 Healthy Retiree mortality, adjusted by a factor of 1.33 for
male retirees and 1.13 for female retirees, with generational improve-
ments using 85% of the most recent projection scale (currently Scale
MP-2021).

Arizona Corrections Officer Retirement Plan
Actuarial Valuation Report as of June 30, 2023 – Town of Oro Valley - Dispatchers (556) 18
The mortality assumptions sufficiently accommodate anticipated
future mortality improvements.
Retirement These rates are used to project future decrements from the active
population due to retirement. The rates below are based on a 2022
experience study using actual plan experience.
Tier 1 – reaching 20 (25 for dispatchers) years of service after age
62:
Age-related rates based on age at retirement: 35% per year from age
62 - 74 and 100% assumed at age 75.
Tier 1 – reaching 20 (25 for dispatchers) years of service before
age 62:
Service-related rates based on service at retirement. See complete
table of rates at the end of this section.
Tier 2:
Age-related rates based on age at retirement:
Termination Rate These rates are used to project future decrements from the active
population due to termination. Complete table of rates based on
service at termination are provided at the end of this section. The
rates apply to members prior to retirement eligibility and are based
on a 2022 experience study using actual plan experience.
Disability Rate These rates are used to project future decrements from the active
population due to disability. Complete table of rates based on age at
disability are provided at the end of this section. These rates are
based on a 2022 experience study using actual plan experience. 80%
of disablements are assumed to be duty-related.
Marital Status For active members, 75% of males and 50% of females are assumed to be
married. Actual marital status is used, where applicable, for inactive
members.
Spouse’s Age Male spouses are assumed to be two years older than female
members and female spouses are assumed to be three years younger

Actuarial Valuation Report as of June 30, 2023 – Town of Oro Valley - Dispatchers (556) 19
than males members.
Benefit Commencement Deferred members are assumed to commence benefits as follows:
Less than 10 years service (all tiers): immediate refund of
contributions
Tier 1 (10+ years service): life annuity payable at age 62
Tier 2 (10+ years service): immediate refund of
contributions
Reverse DROP Election Based on experience provided by PSPRS, 20% of eligible members
are assumed to elect the reverse DROP benefit. Interest is credited at
2.00% annually.
Health Care Utilization For active members, 60% of retirees are expected to utilize retiree
health care. Actual utilization is used for inactive members.
Funding Method Entry Age Normal Cost Method.
Lateral Transfers When active members transfer between employers, the new
employer’s liability starts from their new date of hire with no past
service liability (i.e., all liability is accrued through normal cost).
Per PSPRS administrative decision, once the new employer’s
liability is fully funded, the liability will reflect all past service
liability.
Actuarial Asset Method Method described below. Note that during periods when investment
performance exceeds (falls short) of the assumed rate, the actuarial
value of assets will tend to be less (greater) than the market value of
assets.
Tiers 1 & 2:
Each year the assumed investment income is recognized in full while
the difference between actual and assumed investment income are
smoothed over a 7-year period subject to a 20% corridor around the
market value.
Funding Policy Amortization Method Tiers 1 & 2:
Any positive UAAL (assets less than liabilities) is amortized using a
layered approach beginning with the June 30, 2020 valuation, with
new amounts determined according to a Level Dollar method over a
closed period of 15 years (phased into from current period of at most
30 years). Initial layer from June 30, 2019 valuation continues to be
amortized according to a Level Percentage of Payroll method. Any
negative UAAL (assets greater than liabilities) is amortized
according to a Level Dollar method over an open period of 20 years.

VII. DISCUSSION OF RISK
ASOP No. 51, Assessment and Disclosure of Risk Associated with Measuring Pension Obligations and
Determining Pension Plan Contributions, states that the actuary should identify risks that, in the actuary’s
professional judgment, may reasonably be anticipated to significantly affect the plan’s future financial
condition.
Throughout this report, actuarial results are determined under various assumption scenarios. These results are
based on the premise that all future plan experience will align with the plan’s actuarial assumptions; however,
there is no guarantee that actual plan experience will align with the plan’s assumptions. Whenever possible,
the recommended assumptions in this report reflect conservatism to allow for some margin of unfavorable
future plan experience. However, it is still possible that actual plan experience will differ from anticipated
experience in an unfavorable manner that will negatively impact the plan’s funded position.
Below are examples of ways in which plan experience can deviate from assumptions and the potential impact
of that deviation. Typically, this results in an actuarial gain or loss representing the current-year financial
impact on the plan’s unfunded liability of the experience differing from assumptions; this gain or loss is
amortized over a period of time determined by the plan’s amortization method. When assumptions are selected
that adequately reflect plan experience, gains and losses typically offset one another in the long term, resulting
in a relatively low impact on the plan’s contribution requirements associated with plan experience. When
assumptions are too optimistic, losses can accumulate over time and the plan’s amortization payment could
potentially grow to an unmanageable level.
Investment Return: When the rate of return on the Actuarial Value of Assets falls short of the assumption,
this produces a loss representing assumed investment earnings that were not realized. Further, it is
unlikely that the plan will experience a scenario that matches the assumed return in each year as capital
markets can be volatile from year to year. Therefore, contribution amounts can vary in the future.
Salary Increases: When a plan participant experiences a salary increase that was greater than assumed, this
produces a loss representing the cost of an increase in anticipated plan benefits for the participant as
compared to the previous year. The total gain or loss associated with salary increases for the plan is the
sum of salary gains and losses for all active participants.
Payroll Growth: The plan’s payroll growth assumption, if one is used, causes a predictable annual increase
in the plan’s amortization payment in order to produce an amortization payment that remains constant as
a percentage of payroll if all assumptions are realized. If payroll does not increase according to the plan’s
payroll growth assumption, the plan’s amortization payment can increase significantly as a percentage of
payroll even if all assumptions other than the payroll growth assumption are realized.
Demographic Assumptions: Actuarial results take into account various potential events that could happen
to a plan participant, such as retirement, termination, disability, and death. Each of these potential events
is assigned a liability based on the likelihood of the event and the financial consequence of the event for
the plan. Accordingly, actuarial liabilities reflect a blend of financial consequences associated with
various possible outcomes (such as retirement at one of various possible ages). Once the outcome is
known (e.g. the participant retires) the liability is adjusted to reflect the known outcome. This adjustment
Arizona Corrections Officer Retirement Plan
Actuarial Valuation Report as of June 30, 2023 – Town of Oro Valley - Dispatchers (556) 23
produces a gain or loss depending on whether the outcome was more or less favorable than other outcomes
that could have occurred.
Contribution risk: This risk results from the potential that actual employer contributions may deviate from
actuarially determined contributions, which are determined in accordance with the Board’s funding policy.
The funding policy is intended to result in contribution requirements that if paid when due, will result in
a reasonable expectation that assets will accumulate to be sufficient to pay plan benefits when due.
Contribution deficits, particularly large deficits and those that occur repeatedly, increase future
contribution requirements and put the plan at risk for not being able to pay plan benefits when due.
Impact of Plan Maturity on Risk
For newer pension plans, most of the participants and associated liabilities are related to active members who
have not yet reached retirement age. As pension plans continue in operation and active members reach
retirement ages, liabilities begin to shift from being primarily related to active members to being shared amongst
active and retired members. Plan maturity is a measure of the extent to which this shift has occurred. It is
important to understand that plan maturity can have an impact on risk tolerance and the overall risk
characteristics of the plan. For example, plans with a large amount of retired liability do not have as long of a
time horizon to recover from losses (such as losses on investments due to lower than
expected investment returns) as plans where the majority of the liability is attributable to active members. For
this reason, less tolerance for investment risk may be warranted for highly mature plans with a
substantial inactive liability. Similarly, mature plans paying substantial retirement benefits resulting in a small
positive or net negative cash flow can be more sensitive to near term investment volatility,
particularly if the size of the fund is shrinking, which can result in less assets being available for
investment in the market.
To assist with determining the maturity of the plan, we have provided some relevant metrics in the table
following titled “Plan Maturity Measures and Other Risk Metrics.” For a better understanding of the overall
Plan and the impact of these risks, please refer to the consolidated CORP valuation report.
Low Default-Risk Obligation Measure
ASOP No. 4, Measuring Pension Obligations and Determining Pension Plan Costs or Contributions, was
revised as of December 2021 to include a “low-default-risk obligation measure” (LDROM). This liability
measure is consistent with the determination of the actuarial accrued liability shown on pages 8 and 9 in terms
of member data, plan provisions, and assumptions/methods, including the use of the Entry Age Normal Cost
Method, except that the interest rate is tied to low-default-risk fixed income securities. The S&P Municipal
Bond 20 Year High Grade Rate Index (daily rate closest to, but not later than, the measurement date) was
selected to represent a current market rate of low risk but longer-term investments that could be included in a
low-risk asset portfolio. The interest rate used in this valuation was 4.13%, resulting in an LDROM of
$5,855,305. The LDROM should not be considered the “correct” liability measurement; it simply shows a
possible outcome if the Board elected to hold a very low risk asset portfolio. The Board actually invests the
pension plan’s contributions in a diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds and other investments with the
objective of maximizing investment returns at a reasonable level of risk. Consequently, the difference between
the plan’s Actuarial Accrued Liability disclosed earlier in this section and the LDROM can be thought of as
representing the expected taxpayer savings from investing in the plan’s diversified portfolio compared to
investing only in high quality bonds.

Actuarial Valuation Report as of June 30, 2023 – Town of Oro Valley - Dispatchers (556) 24
The actuarial valuation reports the funded status and develops contributions based on the expected return of the
plan’s investment portfolio. If instead, the plan switched to investing exclusively in high quality bonds, the
LDROM illustrates that reported funded status would be lower (which also implies that the Actuarially
Determined Contributions would be higher), perhaps significantly. Unnecessarily high contribution
requirements in the near term may not be affordable and could imperil plan sustainability and benefit security.

IX. ACTUARIAL FUNDING POLICY
A pension plan funding policy describes how pension funding will improve for underfunded plans or maintain
funded benefits for funded plans over time for those benefits defined in Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS). Those
benefits defined in ARS are to be equitably managed and administered by the Arizona Public Safety Personnel
Retirement System (PSPRS agency).
This Actuarial Funding Policy identifies the funding objectives and elements of the actuarial funding policy set
by the Board for the PSPRS agency. The Board adopted this Funding Policy to help ensure the systematic
funding of future benefit payments for members of the retirement systems as established by the legislature.
This policy covers all retirements systems administered by the Board: The Public Safety Personnel Retirement
System (PSPRS); the Correction Officers Retirement Plan (CORP); and the Elected Officials Retirement Plan
(EORP).
To achieve the systematic funding of future benefits, metrics are identified to measure the progress, or the lack
of progress, over time to identify trends. These trends inform the continuation of the current policies or identify
areas of needed research for consideration.
This funding policy is reviewed annually and adopted by the Board in accordance with ARS 38-863.02. This
policy was reviewed and adopted by the Board in August 2023.
PSPRS Statement of Purpose
The Purpose of the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System is to provide uniform, consistent, and equitable
statewide retirement programs for those who have been entrusted to our care.
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.
a. Corollary 1a: Current and future contributions should be calculated based upon assumptions that
reflect the Board’s best estimate of future experience and methods that appropriately allocate costs
to address generational equity.
b. Corollary 1b: While the shorter-term objective is to fully fund the Actuarial Accrued Liability
(AAL) that estimates benefits earned as of the valuation date, contributions should target the long-
term Present Value of Benefits (PVB) to fund all benefits and help offset risks.
c. As closed plans mature, the target funding should be 110% of AAL or 100% of PVB, whichever is
greater.
2. Maintain public policy goals of accountability and transparency through stakeholder communication and
education. Each policy element is clear in intent and effect, and each should be considered in a balanced
approach to determine how and when the funding requirements of the plan will be met.
a. Corollary 2a: Board shall provide stakeholders with separate reports and tools to help explain
current results as well as to help model future funding requirements.
Arizona Corrections Officer Retirement Plan
Actuarial Valuation Report as of June 30, 2023 – Town of Oro Valley - Dispatchers (556) 32
3. Promote intergenerational equity. Defined benefit pensions are designed with a long-term perspective and
designed to minimize contribution volatility that cannot avoid some level of generational cost shift.
However, the goal is that each generation of members and employers (taxpayers) should, to the extent
possible, incur the cost of benefits for the employees who provide services to them, rather than shifting
those costs to other generations of members and employers (taxpayers).
a. Corollary 3a: A systematic reduction of the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) over a
reasonable time period is paramount to achieving this objective.
Consideration can be given to reduce volatility, to the extent possible, of employer and employee contribution
rates as long as the integrity of the objectives listed above is not compromised.
Elements of Actuarial Funding Policy
1. Actuarial Cost Method
a. The Entry Age Normal level percent of pay actuarial cost method of valuation shall be used in
determining the 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 the
actual investment return and assumed investment return, shall be recognized annually in level
amounts over five years (Tier 3) or seven years (Tiers 1 and 2) in calculating the Actuarial Value
of Assets (AVA).
b. The AVA so determined shall be subject to a 20% corridor relative to the Market Value of Assets
(MVA).
3. Amortization Method (Unfunded Amounts)
a. The AVA is subtracted from the computed AAL. Any unfunded amount is amortized as a level
percent of payroll over a closed period.
b. The unfunded liabilities, for EORP and Tiers 1 & 2 for both PSPRS and CORP, determined in the
6/30/2019 actuarial valuation will become the initial layer for each employer beginning with the
6/30/2020 actuarial valuation and amortized using the current closed year period for that employer
and continue to decrease each year.
i. The payroll growth rate assumption used to amortize the PSPRS 6/30/2019 Unfunded Liability
will be decreased by 0.5% beginning with the 6/30/2021 actuarial valuation and again each
year with the intention of ultimately achieving 0.0%. Once the payroll growth assumption
reaches 2.0%, however, the Board will reevaluate the payroll growth assumption and decide
whether to continue to let it track down to 0.0%.
ii. The payroll growth rate used to amortize the Correction Officers Retirement Plan (CORP)
6/30/2019 Unfunded Liability will be 3.0% beginning with the 6/30/2020 actuarial valuation,
and future years will be reduced by 0.5% until 0.0% is reached.
iii. The payroll growth rate used to amortize the Elected Officials Retirement Plan (EORP)
6/30/2019 Unfunded Liability will be 2.5% beginning with the 6/30/2020 actuarial valuation,
and future years will be reduced by 0.5% until 0.0% is reached.
Arizona Corrections Officer Retirement Plan
Actuarial Valuation Report as of June 30, 2023 – Town of Oro Valley - Dispatchers (556) 33
c. Gains and losses, for EORP and Tiers 1 & 2 for both PSPRS and CORP, for each employer
beginning with the 6/30/2020 actuarial valuation will be amortized as a new layer over the same
amortization period as the regular unfunded liability to a minimum of 15 years. Once the
amortization period for each employer decreases to 15 years, each subsequent year’s gains and
losses will be amortized as a new 15-year closed layer.
i. The payroll growth rate used to amortize the unfunded liability for all Plans under this
paragraph will be 0.0% (i.e. level-dollar amortization).
d. Tier 3 amortization methods are established in ARS 38-843.G and ARS 38-891.K.
4. Amortization Method (Overfunded Amounts)
a. The AVA is subtracted from the target funding level (greater of 110% of AAL or 100% of PVB).
Any overfunded amount is amortized as a level dollar amount over an open 10-year period.
5. Tier 3 Rate Calculation
a. Tier 3 is distinct from Tiers 1 & 2 in PSPRS and CORP as the contributions are a shared percentage
(50/50 split for PSPRS: for CORP, employer 1/3 and member 2/3 of the normal cost plus 50 percent
each, member and employer, of the UAAL amortization) for employers and members based on the
actuarially calculated rate. To reduce the impact of volatility to rates, the Tier 3 rates will be
smoothed over a 3-year rolling period based on the actuarially calculated rates for each year’s
actuarial valuation.
i. Beginning with the 6/30/2023 valuation, the prospective Tier 3 rates set by the Board of
Trustees are planned to be a rolling average of the actuarial calculated Tier 3 rates using
the 6/30/2023, 6/30/2022 and 6/30/2021 rates in the initial process.
ii. As assumptions may be updated year-to-year, the prior calculated rates are not updated for
those changes, the prior calculated rates are used to smooth in the new rates.
b. At the May 2023 Board Meeting, the Board changed the assumed rate of return for CORP Tier 3,
which was at 7.2%, to match the 7.0% assumed rate of return for PSPRS Tier 3. The Board com-
mitted to continue to monitor market conditions and directions with the intent to ultimately adopt
a single assumed rate of return for all investments for retirement systems/plans administered by
PSPRS agency.

Metrics to Monitor Funding Objectives
1. Appropriateness of Assumptions – Gain/Loss Experience (Corollary 1a)
a. Metric: Do the cumulative gain/loss layers over the prior five years exceed 8% of plan assets?
b. Measurement: History of annual gain/loss (split by asset and liability experience) and five-year
cumulative results will be tracked.
c. Action Plan: This metric assumes that a full experience study is performed at least every five years so
objective of measurement is to monitor interim experience. If the metric answer is yes, a review of the
sources or causes of gains and losses should be analyzed and presented to the Advisory Committee to
provide a recommendation to the Board of Trustees. The analysis and presentation are intended to
provide a basis for consideration if assumption changes are warranted between full experience studies.
2. Funding Targets (Corollary 1b)
a. Metric: Has the funded status, on both an AAL and PVB basis when compared to the MVA, increased
over a five-year period?
b. Measurement: History of funded status measures will be tracked.
c. Action Plan: If the answer is no and not readily explainable (e.g., significant assumption change), a
review of the reason(s) for the decrease should be researched and presented to the Advisory Committee
to provide a recommendation to the Board of Trustees. The analysis and presentation are intended to
provide a basis for consideration if changes to assumptions and/or methods are warranted between full
experience studies.
3. Communication with Stakeholders (Corollary 2a)
a. Metric: Have reports and budgeting tools been provided to stakeholders in a timely fashion?
b. Measurement: Yes/No answer based on input from PSPRS administrator. (An annual standard survey
of stakeholders – 3 to 5 questions.)
c. Action Plan: If the answer is no, and periodically regardless (e.g., every three years), PSPRS staff will
revisit this metric to report to the Advisory Committee to provide a recommendation to the Board of
Trustees if current reports / tools are sufficient and if the delivery timing is appropriate.
4. Timely Recognition of Costs (Corollary 3a)
a. Metric: Has the percentage of unfunded liability subject to negative amortization decreased over a five-
year lookback period?
b. Measurement: History of unfunded liability subject to negative amortization as a percentage of total
unfunded liability will be tracked.
c. Action Plan: If the answer is no, and not readily explainable (e.g., adopted assumption changes being
phased in are anticipated to address negative amortization), a review of the reason(s) for negative
amortization should be researched and presented to the Advisory Committee to provide a
recommendation to the Board of Trustees. The analysis and presentation are intended to provide a
basis for consideration if changes to assumptions and/or methods are warranted between full experience
studies.

X. GLOSSARY
Actuarial Accrued Liability – Computed differently under different funding methods, the actuarial accrued
liability generally represents the portion of the actuarial present value of benefits attributable to service credit
earned (or accrued) as of the valuation date.
Actuarial Present Value of Benefits – Amount which, together with future interest, is expected to be sufficient
to pay all benefits to be paid in the future, regardless of when earned, as determined by the application of a
particular set of actuarial assumptions; equivalent to the actuarial accrued liability plus the present value of
future normal costs attributable to the members.
Actuarial Assumptions – Assumptions as to the occurrence of future events affecting pension costs. These
assumptions include rates of investment earnings, changes in salary, rates of mortality, withdrawal, disablement,
and retirement as well as statistics related to marriage and family composition.
Actuarial Cost Method – A method of determining the portion of the cost of a pension plan to be allocated to
each year; sometimes referred to as the "actuarial funding method." Each cost method allocates a certain portion
of the actuarial present value of benefits between the actuarial accrued liability and future normal costs.
Actuarial Equivalence – Series of payments with equal actuarial present values on a given date when valued
using the same set of actuarial assumptions.
Actuarial Present Value - The amount of funds required as of a specified date to provide a payment or series of
payments in the future. It is determined by discounting future payments at predetermined rates of interest, and
by probabilities of payments between the specified date and the expected date of payment.
Actuarial Value of Assets – The value of cash, investments, and other property belonging to the pension plan
as used by the actuary for the purpose of the actuarial valuation. This may correspond to market value of assets,
or some modification using an asset valuation method to reduce the volatility of asset values.
Asset Gain (Loss) – That portion of the actuarial gain attributable to investment performance above (below) the
expected rate of return in the actuarial assumptions.
Amortization – Paying off an interest-discounted amount with periodic payments of interest and (generally)
principal, as opposed to paying off with a lump sum payment.
Amortization Payment – That portion of the pension plan contribution designated to pay interest and reduce the
outstanding principal balance of unfunded actuarial accrued liability. If the amortization payment is less than
the accrued interest on the unfunded actuarial accrued liability the outstanding principal balance will increase.
Assumed Earnings Rate – The interest rate used in developing present values to reflect the time value of money.
Decrements – Events which result in the termination of membership in the system such as retirement, disability,
withdrawal, or death.
Arizona Corrections Officer Retirement Plan
Actuarial Valuation Report as of June 30, 2023 – Town of Oro Valley - Dispatchers (556) 36
Entry Age Normal (EAN) Funding Method – A standard actuarial funding method whereby each member’s
normal costs (service costs) are generally level as a percentage of pay from entry age until retirement. The
annual cost of benefits is comprised of the normal cost plus an amortization payment to reduce the UAL.
Experience Gain (Loss) – The difference between actual unfunded actuarial accrued liabilities and anticipated
unfunded actuarial accrued liabilities during the period between two valuation dates. It is a measurement of the
difference between actual and expected experience, and may be related to investment earnings above (or below)
those expected or changes in the liability due to fewer (or greater) than expected numbers of retirements, deaths,
disabilities, or withdrawals, or variances in pay increases relative to assumed pay increases. The effect of such
gains (or losses) is to decrease (or increase) future costs.
Funded Ratio – A measure of the ratio of the actuarial value of assets to liabilities of the system. Typically, the
assets used in the measure are the actuarial value of assets as determined by the asset valuation method. The
funded ratio depends not only on the financial strength of the plan but also on the asset valuation method used
to determine the assets and on the funding method used to determine the liabilities.
Market Value of Assets (MVA) – The value of assets as they would trade on an open market.
Normal Cost – Computed differently under different funding methods, generally that portion of the actuarial
present value of benefits allocated to the current plan year.
Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) – The excess of the actuarial accrued liability over the valuation
assets; sometimes referred to as "unfunded past service liability". UAL increases each time an actuarial loss
occurs and when new benefits are added without being fully funded initially and decreases when actuarial gains
occur.

Re: Actuarial Valuation Report as of June 30, 2023 for Oro Valley Police Dept. (122)
Dear Members of the Board:
We are pleased to present to the Board this report of the annual actuarial valuation of the Arizona Public Safety
Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS). The valuation was performed to determine whether the assets and
contributions are sufficient to provide the prescribed benefits and to develop the appropriate funding
requirements for the applicable plan year.
This report was prepared at the request of the Board and is intended for use by PSPRS and those designated or
approved by the Board. It documents the valuation of the consolidated plan and provides summary information
for PSPRS participating employers. This report may be provided to parties other than PSPRS only in its entirety
and only with the permission of the Board. Foster & Foster is not responsible for the unauthorized use of this
report.
The valuation has been conducted in accordance with generally accepted actuarial principles and practices,
including the applicable Actuarial Standards of Practice as issued by the Actuarial Standards Board, and reflects
laws and regulations issued to date pursuant to the provisions of Title 38, Chapter 5, Article 4 of the Arizona
Revised Statutes, as well as applicable federal laws and regulations. In our opinion, the assumptions used in
this valuation, as adopted by the Board of Trustees, represent reasonable expectations of anticipated plan
experience. Future actuarial measurements may differ significantly from the current measurements presented
in this report for a variety of reasons including changes in applicable laws, changes in plan provisions, changes
in assumptions, or plan experience differing from expectations. Due to the limited scope of the valuation, we
did not perform an analysis of the potential range of such future measurements.
The computed contribution rates shown in the “Contribution Results” section should be considered minimum
contribution rates that comply 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 funding percentages and unfunded accrued liability as measured based on the actuarial value of assets will
differ from similar measures based on the market value of assets. These measures, as provided, are appropriate
for determining the adequacy of future contributions, but may not be appropriate for the purpose of settling a
portion or all of the Plan’s liabilities.

In conducting the valuation, we have relied on personnel, plan design, and asset information supplied by PSPRS
through June 30, 2023 and the actuarial assumptions and methods described in the Actuarial Assumptions
section of this report. While we cannot verify the accuracy of all this information, the supplied information
was reviewed for consistency and reasonableness. As a result of this review, we have no reason to doubt the
substantial accuracy of the information and believe that it has produced appropriate results. This information,
along with any adjustments or modifications, is summarized in various sections of this report.
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.
In performing the analysis, we used third-party software to model (calculate) the underlying liabilities and costs.
These results are reviewed in the aggregate and for individual sample lives. The output from the software is
either used directly or input into internally developed models to generate the costs. All internally developed
models are reviewed as part of the process. As a result of this review, we believe that the models have produced
reasonable results. We do not believe there are any material inconsistencies among assumptions or unreasonable
output produced due to the aggregation of assumptions.
The undersigned are familiar with the immediate and long-term aspects of pension valuations and meet the
Qualification Standards of the American Academy of Actuaries necessary to render the actuarial opinions
contained herein. All sections of this report are considered an integral part of the actuarial opinions.
To our knowledge, no associate of Foster & Foster, Inc. working on valuations of the program has any direct
financial interest or indirect material interest in the Arizona Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, nor
does anyone at Foster & Foster, Inc. act as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Arizona Public Safety
Personnel Retirement System. Thus, there is no relationship existing that might affect our capacity to prepare
and certify this actuarial report.
If there are any questions, concerns, or comments about any of the items contained in this report, please contact
us at 239-433-5500.
Respectfully Submitted,
Foster & Foster, Inc.

Assets Experience – Asset gains and losses (relative to the assumed earnings rate) are smoothed over seven
years for Tiers 1 and 2 and over five years for Tier 3. The return on the market value of assets for the year
ending June 30, 2023 was 7.7% for Tiers 1 and 2 and 9.2% for Tier 3. On a smoothed, actuarial value of
assets basis, however, the average return was 6.9% for Tiers 1 and 2 and 7.3% for Tier 3. These returns
nearly met the 2022 assumed earnings rate for Tiers 1 and 2 of 7.2% and exceeded the 2022 assumed
earnings rate for Tier 3 of 7.0%.
Payroll Base – Under the current amortization policy for Tiers 1 and 2, the contribution rate is developed
as a level percentage of payroll. Payroll for this purpose includes members of this plan and defined
contribution plan’s members that would have been in this plan. To the extent that actual payroll is
lower/greater than last year’s projected payroll, the contribution rate will increase/decrease as a result.
Liability Experience – Experience overall was unfavorable, driven by salary increases that were higher
than expected.
Additional Contribution – Monies contributed in excess of the required contribution rate in order to pay
down the unfunded liability.
Arizona Public Safety Personnel Retirement System
Actuarial Valuation Report as of June 30, 2023 – Oro Valley Police Dept. (122) 3
Assumption / Method Change – The Board continued the decrease in the payroll growth assumption from
2.50% to 2.00%.
Audit Adjustment – An independent actuarial audit was performed during 2023, with recommendations
made in a detailed report. Following discussions with staff, several changes (both numeric and written)
were made as part of this valuation to improve the report going forward. The most notable change was
prorating the COLA benefit in the first year of retirement.
Other – This is the combination of all other factors that could impact liabilities year-over-year, with the
primary sources being changes in benefits for continuing inactives. This also includes the change due to
HB2088, which removes the “maintenance of effort” adjustment to the unfunded liability amortization.
Note that Tier 3 experience will stabilize as the group matures.
4. Looking Ahead
The volatility in annual returns, which have produced both gains and losses in recent years, was dampened
by the asset smoothing reflected in the actuarial value of assets. The significant loss realized this year will,
in the absence of other gains, put upward pressure on the contribution rate next year.
If the June 30, 2023 pension valuation results were based on the market value of assets instead of the
actuarial value of assets, the pension funded percentage for Tiers 1 and 2 would be 93.2% (instead of 95.0%)
and the pension employer contribution requirement would be 18.03% of payroll (instead of 16.22%).
5. Conclusion
The funded status for Tiers 1 and 2 will continue to improve if assumptions are met and contributions at
least equal to the rates determined for each employer are made to the fund. The recent adoption of a layered
amortization approach along with a plan to systematically lower the payroll growth assumption was an
excellent step to improve funding and ensure the Plan is on a viable path.
The funded status for Tier 3 will stabilize as the population continues to grow, as contributions appear
sufficient to keep the liabilities fully funded.

Actuarial Valuation Report as of June 30, 2023 – Oro Valley Police Dept. (122) 21
VI. ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS AND METHODS
Interest Rate This is the assumed earnings rate on System assets, compounded
annually, net of investment and administrative expenses.
Tiers 1 & 2:
7.20% per year.
Tier 3:
7.00% per year.
Salary Increases See table at the end of this section. This is an annual increase for
individual member’s salary. These rates are based on a 2022
experience study using actual plan experience.
Inflation 2.50%.
Tier 3 Compensation Limit $115,868 for calendar 2023. Assumed increases of 2.00% per year
thereafter.
Cost-of-Living Adjustment 1.85%.
Mortality Rates These rates are used to project future decrements from the population
due to death.
Active Lives:
PubS-2010 Employee mortality, adjusted by a factor of 1.03 for male
members and 1.08 for female members, with generational
improvements using 85% of the most recent projection scale
(currently Scale MP-2021). 100% of active deaths are assumed to be
in the line of duty.
Inactive Lives:
PubS-2010 Healthy Retiree mortality, adjusted by a factor of 1.03 for
male retirees and 1.11 for female retirees, with generational
improvements using 85% of the most recent projection scale
(currently Scale MP-2021).
Beneficiaries:
PubS-2010 Survivor mortality, adjusted by a factor of 0.98 for male
beneficiaries and adjusted by a factor of 1.06 for female
beneficiaries, with generational improvements using 85% of the most

Arizona Public Safety Personnel Retirement System
Actuarial Valuation Report as of June 30, 2023 – Oro Valley Police Dept. (122) 22
Disabled Lives:
PubS-2010 Disabled mortality, adjusted by a factor of 1.08 for male
disabled members and 1.01 for female disabled members, with
generational improvements using 85% of the most recent projection
scale (currently Scale MP-2021).
The mortality assumptions sufficiently accommodate anticipated
future mortality improvements.
Retirement / DROP Rates These rates are used to project future decrements from the active
population due to retirement. The rates below are based on a 2022
experience study using actual plan experience.
Tier 1 – reaching age 62 before attaining 20 years of service:
Age-related rates based on age at retirement:
Police - 40% assumed at age 62 and 63, 35% assumed at age 64,
25% assumed at ages 65 and 66, 50% assumed at ages 67 – 69, and
100% assumed at age 70.
Fire - 25% assumed at age 62 and 63, 35% assumed at age 64, 25%
assumed at ages 65 and 66, 50% assumed at ages 67 – 69, and 100%
assumed at age 70.
Tier 1 – reaching age 62 after attaining 20 years of service:
Service-related rates based on service at retirement. See complete
tables at the end of this section.
65% are assumed to enter the DROP program while the remaining
35% are assumed to retire and commence benefits immediately.
DROP periods are assumed to be 5 years in length for future DROP
elections.
Tiers 2 & 3:
Age-related rates based on age at retirement. 50% assumed at age
53, 30% assumed at ages 54 – 59, 60% assumed at ages 60 – 63, and
100% assumed at age 64.
Termination Rate These rates are used to project future decrements from the active
population due to termination. Complete table of rates based on
service at termination are provided at the end of this section. The
rates apply to members prior to retirement eligibility and are based
on a 2022 experience study using actual plan experience.
Arizona Public Safety Personnel Retirement System
Actuarial Valuation Report as of June 30, 2023 – Oro Valley Police Dept. (122) 23
Disability Rate These rates are used to project future decrements from the active
population due to disability. Complete table of rates based on age at
disability are provided at the end of this section. These rates are
based on a 2022 experience study using actual plan experience. 90%
of disablements are assumed to be duty-related.
Marital Status For active members, 85% of males and 60% of females are assumed to be
married. Actual marital status is used, where applicable, for inactive
members.
Spouse’s Age Male spouses are assumed to be four years older than female
members and female spouses are assumed to be two years younger
than males members.
Benefit Commencement Deferred members are assumed to commence benefits as follows:
Tier 1: immediate refund of contributions
Tiers 2 & 3 (less than 15 years service): immediate refund of
contributions
Tier 2 (15+ years service): life annuity payable at age 52.5
Tier 3 (15+ years service): life annuity payable at age 55
Health Care Utilization For active members, 70% of retirees are expected to utilize retiree
health care. Actual utilization is used for inactive members.
Funding Method Entry Age Normal Cost Method.
Lateral Transfers When active members transfer between employers, the new
employer’s liability starts from their new date of hire with no past
service liability (i.e., all liability is accrued through normal cost).
Per PSPRS administrative decision, once the new employer’s
liability is fully funded, the liability will reflect all past service
liability.
Actuarial Asset Method Method described below. Note that during periods when investment
performance exceeds (falls short) of the assumed rate, the actuarial
value of assets will tend to be less (greater) than the market value of
assets.
Tiers 1 & 2:
Each year the assumed investment income is recognized in full while
the difference between actual and assumed investment income are
smoothed over a 7-year period subject to a 20% corridor around the
market value.
Arizona Public Safety Personnel Retirement System
Actuarial Valuation Report as of June 30, 2023 – Oro Valley Police Dept. (122) 24
Tier 3:
Each year the assumed investment income is recognized in full while
the difference between actual and assumed investment income are
smoothed over a 5-year period subject to a 20% corridor around the
market value.
Funding Policy Amortization Method Tiers 1 & 2:
Any positive UAAL (assets less than liabilities) is amortized using a
layered approach beginning with the June 30, 2020 valuation, with
new amounts determined according to a Level Dollar method over a
closed period of 15 years (phased into from current period of at most
30 years). Initial layer from June 30, 2019 valuation continues to be
amortized according to a Level Percentage of Payroll method.
Tier 3:
Any positive UAAL (assets less than liabilities) is amortized
according to a Level Dollar method over a closed period of 10 years.
No amortization is made of any negative UAAL (assets greater than
liabilities).
Payroll Growth 2.00% per year. This is annual increase for total employer payroll.
Changes to Actuarial Assumptions and Methods Since the Prior Valuation
The payroll growth assumption was lowered from 2.50% to 2.00%.
There were no method changes since the prior valuation.

VII. DISCUSSION OF RISK
ASOP No. 51, Assessment and Disclosure of Risk Associated with Measuring Pension Obligations and
Determining Pension Plan Contributions, states that the actuary should identify risks that, in the actuary’s
professional judgment, may reasonably be anticipated to significantly affect the plan’s future financial
condition.
Throughout this report, actuarial results are determined under various assumption scenarios. These results are
based on the premise that all future plan experience will align with the plan’s actuarial assumptions; however,
there is no guarantee that actual plan experience will align with the plan’s assumptions. Whenever possible,
the recommended assumptions in this report reflect conservatism to allow for some margin of unfavorable
future plan experience. However, it is still possible that actual plan experience will differ from anticipated
experience in an unfavorable manner that will negatively impact the plan’s funded position.
Below are examples of ways in which plan experience can deviate from assumptions and the potential impact
of that deviation. Typically, this results in an actuarial gain or loss representing the current-year financial
impact on the plan’s unfunded liability of the experience differing from assumptions; this gain or loss is
amortized over a period of time determined by the plan’s amortization method. When assumptions are selected
that adequately reflect plan experience, gains and losses typically offset one another in the long term, resulting
in a relatively low impact on the plan’s contribution requirements associated with plan experience. When
assumptions are too optimistic, losses can accumulate over time and the plan’s amortization payment could
potentially grow to an unmanageable level.
Investment Return: When the rate of return on the Actuarial Value of Assets falls short of the assumption,
this produces a loss representing assumed investment earnings that were not realized. Further, it is
unlikely that the plan will experience a scenario that matches the assumed return in each year as capital
markets can be volatile from year to year. Therefore, contribution amounts can vary in the future.
Salary Increases: When a plan participant experiences a salary increase that was greater than assumed, this
produces a loss representing the cost of an increase in anticipated plan benefits for the participant as
compared to the previous year. The total gain or loss associated with salary increases for the plan is the
sum of salary gains and losses for all active participants.
Payroll Growth: The plan’s payroll growth assumption, if one is used, causes a predictable annual increase
in the plan’s amortization payment in order to produce an amortization payment that remains constant as
a percentage of payroll if all assumptions are realized. If payroll does not increase according to the plan’s
payroll growth assumption, the plan’s amortization payment can increase significantly as a percentage of
payroll even if all assumptions other than the payroll growth assumption are realized.
Demographic Assumptions: Actuarial results take into account various potential events that could happen
to a plan participant, such as retirement, termination, disability, and death. Each of these potential events
is assigned a liability based on the likelihood of the event and the financial consequence of the event for
the plan. Accordingly, actuarial liabilities reflect a blend of financial consequences associated with
various possible outcomes (such as retirement at one of various possible ages). Once the outcome is
known (e.g. the participant retires) the liability is adjusted to reflect the known outcome. This adjustment
Arizona Public Safety Personnel Retirement System
Actuarial Valuation Report as of June 30, 2023 – Oro Valley Police Dept. (122) 29
produces a gain or loss depending on whether the outcome was more or less favorable than other outcomes
that could have occurred.
Contribution risk: This risk results from the potential that actual employer contributions may deviate from
actuarially determined contributions, which are determined in accordance with the Board’s funding policy.
The funding policy is intended to result in contribution requirements that if paid when due, will result in
a reasonable expectation that assets will accumulate to be sufficient to pay plan benefits when due.
Contribution deficits, particularly large deficits and those that occur repeatedly, increase future
contribution requirements and put the plan at risk for not being able to pay plan benefits when due.
Impact of Plan Maturity on Risk
For newer pension plans, most of the participants and associated liabilities are related to active members who
have not yet reached retirement age. As pension plans continue in operation and active members reach
retirement ages, liabilities begin to shift from being primarily related to active members to being shared amongst
active and retired members. Plan maturity is a measure of the extent to which this shift has occurred. It is
important to understand that plan maturity can have an impact on risk tolerance and the overall risk
characteristics of the plan. For example, plans with a large amount of retired liability do not have as long of a
time horizon to recover from losses (such as losses on investments due to lower than
expected investment returns) as plans where the majority of the liability is attributable to active members. For
this reason, less tolerance for investment risk may be warranted for highly mature plans with a
substantial inactive liability. Similarly, mature plans paying substantial retirement benefits resulting in a small
positive or net negative cash flow can be more sensitive to near term investment volatility,
particularly if the size of the fund is shrinking, which can result in less assets being available for
investment in the market.
To assist with determining the maturity of the plan, we have provided some relevant metrics in the table
following titled “Plan Maturity Measures and Other Risk Metrics.” For a better understanding of the overall
Plan and the impact of these risks, please refer to the consolidated PSPRS valuation report.
Low Default-Risk Obligation Measure
ASOP No. 4, Measuring Pension Obligations and Determining Pension Plan Costs or Contributions, was
revised as of December 2021 to include a “low-default-risk obligation measure” (LDROM). This liability
measure is consistent with the determination of the actuarial accrued liability shown on pages 8 and 9 in terms
of member data, plan provisions, and assumptions/methods, including the use of the Entry Age Normal Cost
Method, except that the interest rate is tied to low-default-risk fixed income securities. The S&P Municipal
Bond 20 Year High Grade Rate Index (daily rate closest to, but not later than, the measurement date) was
selected to represent a current market rate of low risk but longer-term investments that could be included in a
low-risk asset portfolio. The interest rate used in this valuation was 4.13%, resulting in an LDROM of
$134,087,368 for Tiers 1 and 2 and $277,283,390 for Tier 3. The LDROM should not be considered the
“correct” liability measurement; it simply shows a possible outcome if the Board elected to hold a very low risk
asset portfolio. The Board actually invests the pension plan’s contributions in a diversified portfolio of stocks
and bonds and other investments with the objective of maximizing investment returns at a reasonable level of
risk. Consequently, the difference between the plan’s Actuarial Accrued Liability disclosed earlier in this
section and the LDROM can be thought of as representing the expected taxpayer savings from investing in the
plan’s diversified portfolio compared to investing only in high quality bonds.
Arizona Public Safety Personnel Retirement System
Actuarial Valuation Report as of June 30, 2023 – Oro Valley Police Dept. (122) 30
The actuarial valuation reports the funded status and develops contributions based on the expected return of the
plan’s investment portfolio. If instead, the plan switched to investing exclusively in high quality bonds, the
LDROM illustrates that reported funded status would be lower (which also implies that the Actuarially
Determined Contributions would be higher), perhaps significantly. Unnecessarily high contribution
requirements in the near term may not be affordable and could imperil plan sustainability and benefit security.

IX. ACTUARIAL FUNDING POLICY
A pension plan funding policy describes how pension funding will improve for underfunded plans or maintain
funded benefits for funded plans over time for those benefits defined in Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS). Those
benefits defined in ARS are to be equitably managed and administered by the Arizona Public Safety Personnel
Retirement System (PSPRS agency).
This Actuarial Funding Policy identifies the funding objectives and elements of the actuarial funding policy set
by the Board for the PSPRS agency. The Board adopted this Funding Policy to help ensure the systematic
funding of future benefit payments for members of the retirement systems as established by the legislature.
This policy covers all retirements systems administered by the Board: The Public Safety Personnel Retirement
System (PSPRS); the Correction Officers Retirement Plan (CORP); and the Elected Officials Retirement Plan
(EORP).
To achieve the systematic funding of future benefits, metrics are identified to measure the progress, or the lack
of progress, over time to identify trends. These trends inform the continuation of the current policies or identify
areas of needed research for consideration.
This funding policy is reviewed annually and adopted by the Board in accordance with ARS 38-863.02. This
policy was reviewed and adopted by the Board in August 2023.
PSPRS Statement of Purpose
The Purpose of the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System is to provide uniform, consistent, and equitable
statewide retirement programs for those who have been entrusted to our care.
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.
a. Corollary 1a: Current and future contributions should be calculated based upon assumptions that
reflect the Board’s best estimate of future experience and methods that appropriately allocate costs
to address generational equity.
b. Corollary 1b: While the shorter-term objective is to fully fund the Actuarial Accrued Liability
(AAL) that estimates benefits earned as of the valuation date, contributions should target the long-
term Present Value of Benefits (PVB) to fund all benefits and help offset risks.
c. As closed plans mature, the target funding should be 110% of AAL or 100% of PVB, whichever is
greater.
2. Maintain public policy goals of accountability and transparency through stakeholder communication and
education. Each policy element is clear in intent and effect, and each should be considered in a balanced
approach to determine how and when the funding requirements of the plan will be met.
a. Corollary 2a: Board shall provide stakeholders with separate reports and tools to help explain
current results as well as to help model future funding requirements.
Arizona Public Safety Personnel Retirement System
Actuarial Valuation Report as of June 30, 2023 – Oro Valley Police Dept. (122) 40
3. Promote intergenerational equity. Defined benefit pensions are designed with a long-term perspective and
designed to minimize contribution volatility that cannot avoid some level of generational cost shift.
However, the goal is that each generation of members and employers (taxpayers) should, to the extent
possible, incur the cost of benefits for the employees who provide services to them, rather than shifting
those costs to other generations of members and employers (taxpayers).
a. Corollary 3a: A systematic reduction of the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) over a
reasonable time period is paramount to achieving this objective.
Consideration can be given to reduce volatility, to the extent possible, of employer and employee contribution
rates as long as the integrity of the objectives listed above is not compromised.
Elements of Actuarial Funding Policy
1. Actuarial Cost Method
a. The Entry Age Normal level percent of pay actuarial cost method of valuation shall be used in
determining the 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 the
actual investment return and assumed investment return, shall be recognized annually in level
amounts over five years (Tier 3) or seven years (Tiers 1 and 2) in calculating the Actuarial Value
of Assets (AVA).
b. The AVA so determined shall be subject to a 20% corridor relative to the Market Value of Assets
(MVA).
3. Amortization Method (Unfunded Amounts)
a. The AVA is subtracted from the computed AAL. Any unfunded amount is amortized as a level
percent of payroll over a closed period.
b. The unfunded liabilities, for EORP and Tiers 1 & 2 for both PSPRS and CORP, determined in the
6/30/2019 actuarial valuation will become the initial layer for each employer beginning with the
6/30/2020 actuarial valuation and amortized using the current closed year period for that employer
and continue to decrease each year.
i. The payroll growth rate assumption used to amortize the PSPRS 6/30/2019 Unfunded Liability
will be decreased by 0.5% beginning with the 6/30/2021 actuarial valuation and again each
year with the intention of ultimately achieving 0.0%. Once the payroll growth assumption
reaches 2.0%, however, the Board will reevaluate the payroll growth assumption and decide
whether to continue to let it track down to 0.0%.
ii. The payroll growth rate used to amortize the Correction Officers Retirement Plan (CORP)
6/30/2019 Unfunded Liability will be 3.0% beginning with the 6/30/2020 actuarial valuation,
and future years will be reduced by 0.5% until 0.0% is reached.
iii. The payroll growth rate used to amortize the Elected Officials Retirement Plan (EORP)
6/30/2019 Unfunded Liability will be 2.5% beginning with the 6/30/2020 actuarial valuation,
and future years will be reduced by 0.5% until 0.0% is reached.
Arizona Public Safety Personnel Retirement System
Actuarial Valuation Report as of June 30, 2023 – Oro Valley Police Dept. (122) 41
c. Gains and losses, for EORP and Tiers 1 & 2 for both PSPRS and CORP, for each employer
beginning with the 6/30/2020 actuarial valuation will be amortized as a new layer over the same
amortization period as the regular unfunded liability to a minimum of 15 years. Once the
amortization period for each employer decreases to 15 years, each subsequent year’s gains and
losses will be amortized as a new 15-year closed layer.
i. The payroll growth rate used to amortize the unfunded liability for all Plans under this
paragraph will be 0.0% (i.e. level-dollar amortization).
d. Tier 3 amortization methods are established in ARS 38-843.G and ARS 38-891.K.
4. Amortization Method (Overfunded Amounts)
a. The AVA is subtracted from the target funding level (greater of 110% of AAL or 100% of PVB).
Any overfunded amount is amortized as a level dollar amount over an open 10-year period.
5. Tier 3 Rate Calculation
a. Tier 3 is distinct from Tiers 1 & 2 in PSPRS and CORP as the contributions are a shared percentage
(50/50 split for PSPRS: for CORP, employer 1/3 and member 2/3 of the normal cost plus 50 percent
each, member and employer, of the UAAL amortization) for employers and members based on the
actuarially calculated rate. To reduce the impact of volatility to rates, the Tier 3 rates will be
smoothed over a 3-year rolling period based on the actuarially calculated rates for each year’s
actuarial valuation.
i. Beginning with the 6/30/2023 valuation, the prospective Tier 3 rates set by the Board of
Trustees are planned to be a rolling average of the actuarial calculated Tier 3 rates using
the 6/30/2023, 6/30/2022 and 6/30/2021 rates in the initial process.
ii. As assumptions may be updated year-to-year, the prior calculated rates are not updated for
those changes, the prior calculated rates are used to smooth in the new rates.
b. At the May 2023 Board Meeting, the Board changed the assumed rate of return for CORP Tier 3,
which was at 7.2%, to match the 7.0% assumed rate of return for PSPRS Tier 3. The Board com-
mitted to continue to monitor market conditions and directions with the intent to ultimately adopt
a single assumed rate of return for all investments for retirement systems/plans administered by
PSPRS agency.

Metrics to Monitor Funding Objectives
1. Appropriateness of Assumptions – Gain/Loss Experience (Corollary 1a)
a. Metric: Do the cumulative gain/loss layers over the prior five years exceed 8% of plan assets?
b. Measurement: History of annual gain/loss (split by asset and liability experience) and five-year
cumulative results will be tracked.
c. Action Plan: This metric assumes that a full experience study is performed at least every five years so
objective of measurement is to monitor interim experience. If the metric answer is yes, a review of the
sources or causes of gains and losses should be analyzed and presented to the Advisory Committee to
provide a recommendation to the Board of Trustees. The analysis and presentation are intended to
provide a basis for consideration if assumption changes are warranted between full experience studies.
2. Funding Targets (Corollary 1b)
a. Metric: Has the funded status, on both an AAL and PVB basis when compared to the MVA, increased
over a five-year period?
b. Measurement: History of funded status measures will be tracked.
c. Action Plan: If the answer is no and not readily explainable (e.g., significant assumption change), a
review of the reason(s) for the decrease should be researched and presented to the Advisory Committee
to provide a recommendation to the Board of Trustees. The analysis and presentation are intended to
provide a basis for consideration if changes to assumptions and/or methods are warranted between full
experience studies.
3. Communication with Stakeholders (Corollary 2a)
a. Metric: Have reports and budgeting tools been provided to stakeholders in a timely fashion?
b. Measurement: Yes/No answer based on input from PSPRS administrator. (An annual standard survey
of stakeholders – 3 to 5 questions.)
c. Action Plan: If the answer is no, and periodically regardless (e.g., every three years), PSPRS staff will
revisit this metric to report to the Advisory Committee to provide a recommendation to the Board of
Trustees if current reports / tools are sufficient and if the delivery timing is appropriate.
4. Timely Recognition of Costs (Corollary 3a)
a. Metric: Has the percentage of unfunded liability subject to negative amortization decreased over a five-
year lookback period?
b. Measurement: History of unfunded liability subject to negative amortization as a percentage of total
unfunded liability will be tracked.
c. Action Plan: If the answer is no, and not readily explainable (e.g., adopted assumption changes being
phased in are anticipated to address negative amortization), a review of the reason(s) for negative
amortization should be researched and presented to the Advisory Committee to provide a
recommendation to the Board of Trustees. The analysis and presentation are intended to provide a
basis for consideration if changes to assumptions and/or methods are warranted between full experience
studies.

Actuarial Valuation Report as of June 30, 2023 – Oro Valley Police Dept. (122) 43
X. GLOSSARY
Actuarial Accrued Liability – Computed differently under different funding methods, the actuarial accrued
liability generally represents the portion of the actuarial present value of benefits attributable to service credit
earned (or accrued) as of the valuation date.
Actuarial Present Value of Benefits – Amount which, together with future interest, is expected to be sufficient
to pay all benefits to be paid in the future, regardless of when earned, as determined by the application of a
particular set of actuarial assumptions; equivalent to the actuarial accrued liability plus the present value of
future normal costs attributable to the members.
Actuarial Assumptions – Assumptions as to the occurrence of future events affecting pension costs. These
assumptions include rates of investment earnings, changes in salary, rates of mortality, withdrawal, disablement,
and retirement as well as statistics related to marriage and family composition.
Actuarial Cost Method – A method of determining the portion of the cost of a pension plan to be allocated to
each year; sometimes referred to as the "actuarial funding method." Each cost method allocates a certain portion
of the actuarial present value of benefits between the actuarial accrued liability and future normal costs.
Actuarial Equivalence – Series of payments with equal actuarial present values on a given date when valued
using the same set of actuarial assumptions.
Actuarial Present Value - The amount of funds required as of a specified date to provide a payment or series of
payments in the future. It is determined by discounting future payments at predetermined rates of interest, and
by probabilities of payments between the specified date and the expected date of payment.
Actuarial Value of Assets – The value of cash, investments, and other property belonging to the pension plan
as used by the actuary for the purpose of the actuarial valuation. This may correspond to market value of assets,
or some modification using an asset valuation method to reduce the volatility of asset values.
Asset Gain (Loss) – That portion of the actuarial gain attributable to investment performance above (below) the
expected rate of return in the actuarial assumptions.
Amortization – Paying off an interest-discounted amount with periodic payments of interest and (generally)
principal, as opposed to paying off with a lump sum payment.
Amortization Payment – That portion of the pension plan contribution designated to pay interest and reduce the
outstanding principal balance of unfunded actuarial accrued liability. If the amortization payment is less than
the accrued interest on the unfunded actuarial accrued liability the outstanding principal balance will increase.
Assumed Earnings Rate – The interest rate used in developing present values to reflect the time value of money.
Decrements – Events which result in the termination of membership in the system such as retirement, disability,
withdrawal, or death.
Arizona Public Safety Personnel Retirement System
Actuarial Valuation Report as of June 30, 2023 – Oro Valley Police Dept. (122) 44
Entry Age Normal (EAN) Funding Method – A standard actuarial funding method whereby each member’s
normal costs (service costs) are generally level as a percentage of pay from entry age until retirement. The
annual cost of benefits is comprised of the normal cost plus an amortization payment to reduce the UAL.
Experience Gain (Loss) – The difference between actual unfunded actuarial accrued liabilities and anticipated
unfunded actuarial accrued liabilities during the period between two valuation dates. It is a measurement of the
difference between actual and expected experience, and may be related to investment earnings above (or below)
those expected or changes in the liability due to fewer (or greater) than expected numbers of retirements, deaths,
disabilities, or withdrawals, or variances in pay increases relative to assumed pay increases. The effect of such
gains (or losses) is to decrease (or increase) future costs.
Funded Ratio – A measure of the ratio of the actuarial value of assets to liabilities of the system. Typically, the
assets used in the measure are the actuarial value of assets as determined by the asset valuation method. The
funded ratio depends not only on the financial strength of the plan but also on the asset valuation method used
to determine the assets and on the funding method used to determine the liabilities.
Market Value of Assets (MVA) – The value of assets as they would trade on an open market.
Normal Cost – Computed differently under different funding methods, generally that portion of the actuarial
present value of benefits allocated to the current plan year.
Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) – The excess of the actuarial accrued liability over the valuation
assets; sometimes referred to as "unfunded past service liability". UAL increases each time an actuarial loss
occurs and when new benefits are added without being fully funded initially and decreases when actuarial gains
occur.

12
6.14 Collateralization of 102% will be required on two types of Town investments:
certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements.
7.0 Investment Parameters – Investment parameters include the following:
7.1 Diversification - The investments shall be diversified by:
7.1.1 Limiting investments to avoid over-concentration in securities from a
specific issuer or business sector (excluding U.S. Treasury securities)
7.1.2 Limiting investment in securities that have higher credit risks
7.1.3 Investing in securities with varying maturities
7.1.4 Investing a portion of the portfolio in readily available funds such as local
government investment pools (LGIP’s), overnight repurchase agreements,
or other overnight accounts to ensure that appropriate liquidity is
maintained in order to meet ongoing obligations
7.2 Maturities - Reserve funds are subject to different requirements on maximum
maturities than those for other Town funds according to the terms and
provisions as outlined in the trust indenture of the long-term debt issuances. To
ensure liquidity the Town shall attempt to match its investments with
anticipated cash flow requirements . As all possible cash demands cannot be
anticipated, a portion should consist of securities with active secondary and
resale markets. The Town will not invest in securities with maximum
maturities greater than those allowed under A.R.S. 35-323, Investment of
Public Monies. Currently, maximum maturities are:
7.2.1 Securities and deposits: 5 years
7.2.2 Repurchase agreements: 30/180 days in accordance with A.R.S 35-323.
7.3 Competitive Procurement Process/Use of Cooperative Contract - Before the
Town invests any public funds, a competitive procurement process should be
conducted for the necessary services or investment instruments. If a specific
maturity date is required, either for cash flow purposes or in order to conform
to maturity guidelines, bids will be requested for instruments which meet the
maturity requirement. If no specific maturity is required, a market trend (yield
curve) analysis will be conducted to determine which maturities would be most
advantageous. The competitive process will follow the policies and procedures
outlined in the Town’s Procurement Code and comply with A.R.S. 35 -323. The
Town may also choose to use an existing cooperative contract provided the
contract meets all requirements of the Town’s Procurement Standards.
8.0 Shock Test – The purpose of the shock test is to analyze the impact of changes in market
interest rates on the potential value of the portfolio. The investment portfolio shall be
shock tested quarterly by the safekeeping agent as part of their contract re sponsibility.
At a minimum, the stress test will value the portfolio assuming interest rates rise or fall
by up to 300 basis points across the entire yield curve. Information obtained from the
stress test combined with current economic and interest rate forecasts will assist in
determining appropriate maturities for new investments considering risks.
13
9.0 Benchmarks – The investment portfolio held by authorized financial institutions will be
managed in accordance with the parameters specified within this policy. The portfolio
should obtain a market average rate of return of stable interest rates which are equal
to or exceed that obtained through investing in the State of Arizona Local Government
Investment Pool (LGIP), which is managed by the State Treasurer. Performance will be
monitored quarterly.
10.0 Banking Services – The Town will execute a contract with its financial depository which
shall designate the requirements of serving as a depository for the Town, including
collateralization of Town funds invested at such depository and the related safekeeping
requirements of the pledged securities. The Town will evaluate and request bids on
banking services every five years.

Policy:
1.0 Capital Improvements – The Town shall annually review the needs for capital
improvements, including the current status of the Town infrastructure, replacement and
renovation needs, and potential new projects. All projects, both ongoing and proposed,
shall be prioritized based on an analysis of current needs and resource availability at the
direction of the Town Manager. For every proposed capital project, all operation,
maintenance, and replacement costs shall be fully costed. Proposed capital projects will
not be authorized or awarded until a funding source is identified.
2.0 Capital Assets – Capital assets shall be depreciated over their estimated useful lives
utilizing the straight-line method and shall be included in the operating budget.
3.0 Leases and SBITAs – Leased assets subject to GASB Statement No.87, shall be amortized
over the shorter of the lease or the asset useful life. SBITAs subject to GASB Statement
No.96, shall be amortized over the subscription contract term. The threshold for
capitalizing lessor leases shall be $150,000. The threshold for capitalizing lessee leases
and SBITAs shall be $75,000.
4.0 Capital Projects – Capital projects shall be depreciated over their estimated useful lives
utilizing the straight-line method and shall be included in both the capital improvement
program (CIP) and capital budget.
5.0 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) – A minimum ten-year capital improvement program
will be developed and updated annually, encompassing both anticipated funding sources
and any estimated operating expenditures. Estimated operating expenditures associated
with capital projects will be included in the operating budget. Estimated first-year capital
expenditures in the CIP shall be included in the Capital Fund budget. A quarterly status
report will be prepared for Council to facilitate monitoring of each project’s progress and
identify any significant issues.
6.0 Prioritization – Prioritization shall occur first at the department level, and then at the

be identified for the projects ranking the highest based on evaluation criteria and
available resources.
7.0 Minimum Funding Level – In order for the Town to provide sustainable funding for capital
improvements and asset repair/maintenance needs each year, the annual budget shall
include the allocation of a minimum of 5% of the Town’s General Fund estimated sales
tax revenues (not including state-shared revenues) to fund these needs, subject to
Council approval and funding availability. These funds will be accounted for in a separate
Capital Fund.
16
8.0 Capital Expenditure Financing – The Town recognizes that there are three basic methods
of paying for capital requirements. It can budget the funds from current resources (pay
as you go), it can take the funds from fund balance as allowed by the Fund Balan ce Policy
(another pay as you go method), or it can borrow money through debt. Debt financing
includes general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, lease/purchase agreements,
certificates of participation, and other debt instruments permitted under Arizona law.
Guidelines for incurring debt are set forth in the Debt Policy Statements.
9.0 Audits – The Finance Department shall be responsible for verifying the actual physical
existence of capital and minor assets and the accuracy of the Town’s asset database. The
process will be monitored through asset audits of Town departments and division s. Any
significant irregularities will be reported to the Town Manager. The Town shall strive to
perform a complete inventory of capital items at least every two years.
10.0 Minor Assets – Minor assets will be recorded on an asset replacement schedule and
monitored from acquisition until disposition. Such assets will neither be capitalized nor
depreciated in the Town Annual Comprehensive Financial Report.

Town of Oro Valley Policy Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS)
Pension Funding

Last Review Review Month
2023 June
Responsible for maintaining & applying this policy: Finance
Next Review: June 2024
______________________________________________________________________________
Purpose: 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 statutory requirements of ARS 38-863.01. The
Council shall annually assess the status of the Town’s PSPRS trust fund 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).
Scope: The Town’s sworn police employees who are regularly assigned hazardous duty
participate in the PSPRS. Selected individuals who serve as dispatchers in the Oro Valley Police
Department participate in the CORP plan, which is also administered by PSPRS.
Definitions:
Unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL): The difference between trust assets and the
estimated future cost of pensions earned by employees. This UAAL results from actual results
(investment income, member mortality, disability rates, payroll increases, etc.) bein g different
from the assumptions used in previous actuarial valuations.
Annual required contribution (ARC): 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 benefits 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 previous 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: A ratio of fund assets to actuarial accrued liability. The higher the ratio, the better
funded the pension is, with 100% being fully funded based on current actuarial valuations.
Intergenerational equity: A concept meant describe the policy expectation that no generation is
burdened by substantially more or less pension costs than past or future generations.
18
Policy:
1.0 Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS)
1.1 PSPRS is administered as an agent multiple-employer pension plan. An agent
multiple-employer plan has two main functions:
1.1.1 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 .
1.1.2 To serve as the statewide uniform administrator for the distribution of
benefits.
1.2 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 annual 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.
1.3 Oro Valley Town Council formally accepts the assets, liabilities, and current
funding ratio of the Town’s PSPRS and CORP trust funds from the June 30, 20 23
actuarial valuations specified below.
Trust Fund Assets Accrued Liability
Unfunded Actuarial
Accrued
Asset/(Liability)
Funded
Ratio
Oro Valley Police $81,319,622 $85,636,864 ($ 4,317,242) 95.0%
Oro Valley Dispatchers $ 3,929,592 $ 3,910,076 $ 19,516 100.5%
1.4 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 current
taxpayers. Fully funded pension plans are the best way to achieve taxpayer and
member intergenerational equity.
1.5 The Council’s PSPRS and CORP funding ratio goal is 100% (fully funded) by June
30, 2036 and beyond. Council establishes this goal for the following reasons:
1.5.1 The PSPRS and CORP trust funds represent only the Town of Oro Valley’s
liability.
1.5.2 The fluctuating cost of an UAAL causes strain on the Town’s budget,
affecting the Town’s ability to provide services.
1.5.3 A fully funded pension is the best way to achieve taxpayer and member
intergenerational equity.
1.6 Council has determined that in order to achieve the 100% funding ratio goal, the
following actions will be taken:
19
1.6.1 The total contribution rate to the police plan, as a baseline, will be the
greater of the total contribution rate made to ASRS for non-sworn
employees or the minimum contribution rate per the most recent actuarial
report. This will continue until the Town achieves a 100% funding ratio.
1.6.2 The CORP plan does not require any additional contributions as it is fully
funded.
1.6.3 Retain the 20-year amortization of unfunded liability.
1.6.4 Review Local board practices annually.
1.6.5 Periodically engage consultants to review actual results and recommend
possible adjustments or corrections as necessary.
1.7 Payments to PSPRS will be as follows:
1.7.1 In FY25, the Town will contribute an additional 14%, above and beyond the
total contribution rate prescribed above. Contributions are estimated as
follows: Total Tier 1/2 Police pension employer cost at 16.22% plus
additional 14% - $1,019,289 + $865,956 = $1,885,245.
1.7.2 In FY26 and beyond, the Town will reevaluate its additional percentage
contributions based upon future actuarial valuations and budget capacity.
1.8 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, 2023 Actuarial Valuation.
1.9 The following shows the historical performance of the unfunded actuarial accrued
liability:

5.0 Revenue Estimates for Budgeting – To maintain a stable level of services, the Town shall
use a conservative, objective and analytical approach when preparing revenue estimates.
The process shall include analysis of probable economic changes and their impacts on

ongoing expenditures.
9.0 Use of Unpredictable Revenues – The Town shall exercise caution with the use of
unpredictable revenues (ie. construction sales tax) for ongoing expenditures.

29
restricted category – spending those funds first – before moving down to the next
category with available funds.
7.0 Water Enterprise Fund – The Water Enterprise Fund shall maintain a cash reserve in the
operating fund of not less than 20% of the combined total of the annual budgeted

Committee. Federal or State grant requests less than $15,000 will not be considered. All
grant submittals shall be reviewed for their cash match requirements, their potential
impact on the operating budget, and the extent to which they meet Town policy
objectives. If there are cash match requirements, the source of funding shall be identified
prior to application submittal.
4.0 Grant Program Termination – The Town shall terminate grant-funded programs and
associated positions when grant funds are no longer available unless alternate ongoing
