Meeting Minutes
Special Police Pension Board
Boynton Beach, Florida September 9, 2014
Attorney Jensen requested .clarification if Ms. Shaffer was being replaced. Mr. Bauer
responded they were working with her. He anticipated Ms. Shaffer would continue with
programing and would retire by about 2017. By then, her system would have been replaced
by the upgraded system Mr. Bauer would use. A web access interface would be included,
and with the upgrades, Plan members could access their own calculations and other items
such as DROP statements.
Mr. Bauer explained there have been no discussions with the Firefighters' Plan about this
change. Attorney Jensen noted she spoke with Counsel for the Firefighters' Pension Plan,
Adam Levinson, and the Board Chairman, Luke Henderson, and it appeared they were on
board with the change because they use the same system. Mr. Bauer explained if the
change was made together (Police and Firefighters' Plans), they would reduce the fee, which
would be split between the two Boards.
Attorney Jensen received confirmation from Mr. Bauer that Rackspace would be replaced
and they would have remote hosting, data storage and web access. She also inquired if they
would assist the Board with obtaining another computer for the system. Mr. Bauer
responded they could assist. They included in the proposal technical support. They could
purchase a computer, invoice the Plan, and help transition to the new system.
Chair Chapman thought all would dovetail. Ms. LaDue noted the custodian, State Street,
issues the checks, which Mr. Bauer confirmed would continue. Ms. LaDue clarified she
performs a shadow run of the pension payments and the DROP accounts; however, that is
done for the Police Plan only.
Members would have their own passwords and passwords would be managed by The
Resource Centers. The new system could take and accept electronic applications, and have
the capability to handle loans, applications and other items that could be addressed in the
future. It was noted DROP loans were managed through Ms. Schaffer's system.
Attorney Jensen inquired if Ms. Schaffer's services have to be terminated. The support
agreement with her was replaced with an agreement with Mr. Bauer and she would be paid
through the agreement with the Pension Resource Center. Rackspace cost $825 each
month, which was split with the Firefighters' Plan. Ms. Schaffer's fee of about $2,500 a year
was also split with the Firefighters' Pension Plan. His proposal covered system changes.
Mr. Chapman commented there may be unforeseen changes. Mr. Bauer responded his
proposal covered charges to the program and required updates. His retainer fee included
those types of changes. He agreed the transition would be smooth and Ms. Shaffer was in
agreement with the transition. Monthly, new
y, charges would be a few hundred d dollars less
and offer more amenities than was previously available.
Fire already has member access to DROP accounts and was web based through Allerius. A
question was posed if members having access to DROP account statements would be able
to make withdrawals. Mr. Bauer responded it would not be done online. They would submit
an application for withdrawal and they could submit an electronic application. Chair Athol
would like to have those capabilities available, but acknowledged it was not currently an
accepted practice in the pension arena at this time.

VI. Financial Reports
A. Quarterly Investment Review December 31, 2014
1) Russell Investment Group — MaryJane Serene CFA
c) Ed Garcia, Portfolio Manager — Conference Call - RTC
REEF (Private Real Estate Fund) also Public Real estate
(Heard out of Order)
Ed Garcia, Senior Portfolio Manager for the Private Real Estate Investments, the
Board has was present by phone. Ms. Serene, Certified Financial Analyst, explained he
also had experience on the research side of the investment arena and would provide
information on how they select the investments for the Board. He would discuss the
possibility of using core private real estate as a substitute for the investments in core
fixed income because they share the income yield component. Given the outlook for
interest rates, it may be a good source of diversification. Also present was Karen
Pheneger, Client Service Analyst, who works on the Board's account.
Mr. Garcia gave a brief summary of the Board's investments in the public real estate
securities fund, globally. The Board does not see these line items on their statements,
but public real estate was included in the REITs and the Multi -Asset Core (MAC)
portfolio. He thought it was appropriate to have real estate exposure and liquidity.
Additionally, public real estate securities provided access to property sectors that were
Meeting Minutes

Boynton Beach, Florida February 10, 2015
Mr. Garcia explained the RTC Real Estate Equity Fund's outlook and performance.
Discussion followed if they were investing in a group that purchases real estate and not
buildings if the Board invested in one of the listed companies. Mr. Garcia explained a
group purchases the buildings. A typical holding period was between seven and 10
years. Russell Investments looks at underlying holdings and the fund. Each year, they
conduct a thorough analysis of the metrics on a relative basis to each of the funds and
the capital market statistics to validate the valuation approach the underlying managers
take. They review the disposition activity in the portfolio to determine if the returns from
the sales supported the valuation they carried on the books. Mr. Garcia explained real
estate securities were similar to REIT funds. The team was not buying stocks. They
hire managers to buy the stocks. If they wanted to sell their holdings in the company,
they would use the proceeds to buy another retail real estate security.
Ms. Serene explained there were two ways to obtain exposure to real estate. One way
was through global real estate which is listed and equity securities that are traded like
any other stocks. The majority of what Mr. Garcia discussed was on the private side.
They were not purchasing a stock that had a connection to real estate. Managers are
purchasing physical properties. On the private side, the strategy was to buy and hold.
If selling property earlier, it would be related to a deteriorating market, a market not
favored by a tenant or the tenant mix changed. The property would be listed with a
broker to sell. On the public side, it would be traded on an exchange. Stocks in the real
estate securities fund trade frequently, unlike on the private side that has much less
trading, providing Tess volatility. Mr. Garcia explained they would like to add a little more
risk on the margin, and they were considering the Morgan Stanley Prime Plus fund. It
would only be about 5% of the portfolio, but it would incrementally add to the fund.
Mr. Garcia explained the fund outperformed the benchmark for all time periods by 58
basis points; 53 basis points for the one -year period, 58 basis points for the three -year
period, and 78 basis points over a five -year period. The objective to exceed the
benchmark was very achievable moving forward. Mr. Garcia reviewed the property type
diversification relative to the benchmark and the target ranges. Exposures were
reasonable and the managers make tilts to reflect their views in the market
environment.
The benchmark did not meet the typical benchmark requirements. It was a
representative sample of the market place. There are 22 funds in the index and another
five core funds that are investible, but they did not meet the requirements t� be in the
index. The benchmark limit was 40% of leverage and funds above that were not eligible
to be included. It had to also have at least 80% overall occupancy in the portfolio. Ms.
Serene clarified they take the 22 managers equally weighted, then compare them
relative to their fund which were the properties weighted by Mr. Garcia when he set up
the fund. There is no fund for their queue, but some of the underlying funds they invest
in, due to the strong demand for the product had entry queues.

IV. FINANCIAL REPORTS:
A) Quarterly Investment Review December 31, 2014
Ms. Serene announced the Russell Conference and invited all to attend. The
Conference will be April 3" in New Orleans. Russell Senior Management will be
present at the Conference, but Ms. Serene did not know if representatives from the
London Stock Exchange Group would attend.
1) Russell Investment Group — MJ (Candioto) Serene, CFA
a) Investment Review —
Ms. Serene reviewed trends affecting results which were declining oil prices, slow
growth in Europe and a slowdown in emerging markets with a decrease in expected
demands, and central banks diverged. She anticipated the Federal Reserve would un-
anchor the short -term rates and make an adjustment midway through the year.
A review of currency showed for the fourth quarter, developed non -U.S. equity came in
negative due to currency. From a U.S. perspective for someone who did not hedge
currency exposures, non -U.S. developed was down 3.5 %, but in local currency, the
fund would have earned 2 %. Ms. Serene explained the Board invested in the MAC
Fund in August 2012. When they did, instead of being unhedged, they went into a fund
that was 50% hedged, which played out very well.
Russell Investments expects the U.S. to have continued strength with 3% growth in the
GDP in the next year. Inflation was just under 2% and the January job numbers did not
come in over 250,000. They expect 200,000 jobs a month for the rest of the year. From
an equity perspective, the U.S. was over - valued compared to other areas of the world.
The fund started in January with $75.5 million. The fund had inflows of $6.1 million and
outflows of $6.5 million. Appreciation was at $6.5 million. The fund ended the year at
$81.5 million, adjusted for the real estate.
The performance report showed, net of fees for the prior year, the portfolio returned
about 7.85 %, which was 20 basis points higher than the total portfolio, due to the real
estate. Over the last three months, the portfolio returned about 2.7 %. It outperformed
the custom benchmark by about 20 basis points. The driver of relative performance for
the quarter was from the MAC fund, which outperformed by about 100 basis points.
Real estate was at 3.7% for the quarter and 12.9% year -to -date, with strong returns
coming out of private real estate. Ms. Serene noted there was 30% in the MAC and 5%
in the private real estate fund. The Board had discussed reconsidering the 30%
allocation in the MAC fund, and taking 4% or 5% from the MAC to further diversify. She
noted the MAC anchors the fund should there be a pullback in equities, and she did not
favor increasing equity exposure. She suggested slightly increasing exposure to private
real estate and thought there would be more Tong -term exposure over the next 10 years.

This item was heard earlier in the meeting.
2.) Burgess Chambers & Associates - Head of Research
Frank Wan
a) Fund Performance review —
Frank Wan, Head of Research, Burgess Chambers & Associates, commented they
are monitoring oil usage, its export, and the surplus very carefully.
The fund performance review reflected the fund earned 2.8% for the first quarter. Year -
to -date, the fund was flat. The fixed income allocation was at 32% and was a substitute
for private real estate, which was a conservative asset. When added together, the fund
had about 37.5% in conservative assets, while all else was aggressive. Mr. Wan would
be comfortable lowering fixed income to no less than 25 %, assuming they took similar
exposure to real estate. He explained real estate, in general, was fairly priced and
some of the publically- traded real estate was more expensive.
Since 2008, the number of permits for new construction decreased. At some point,
there will be a large disparity between rental prices and home ownership and real estate
prices would fall. He noted all plans were looking to real estate as a way to diversify,
and more institutional investing was occurring, which was driving up some prices. He
thought the U.S. economy would be the driver in real estate and the creation of jobs
would create higher occupancy levels. For the quarter to -date, the Plan was at 3% and
real estate returns were 3.7% for the quarter. Bonds, for the one -year period were at
6.8 %.
Mr. Wan distributed a handout and reviewed three underlying managers in the new
Absolute Fixed - Income product. Rates, as of December 31 measured by the 10 -year
U.S. Treasury, were at 2.2 %. Sound operating countries had lower rates, U.S. inflation
increased, and the 2014 CPI showed inflation was up 7.6 %. The Federal Reserve was
aiming for a core inflation rate of 2.1 % or 2.2 %, and the lower rates helped the
economy, but did not over drive the economy. When rates go up, the Absolute product
would outperform, but it was not known when rates would increase. They will monitor
the product.
The last time the Federal Reserve kept the rates low was in the 1940s, and there was
no secular decline in interest rates since 1981. When the rates start increasing, the
allocations will be corrected. The product was protected until rates reach 4% to 4.5 %.

new schedule would not increase fees for changes made inside the core fund. They
could obtain the same access Tess expensively.
Motion
Mr. Llopis moved to approve the new fee structure that will be proposed to Attorney
Jensen with the additional information that does not necessarily take affect now. They
were not in the Absolute fund yet, but would be. Mr. Caudell seconded the motion that
unanimously passed.

(The Board took a short recess at 12:57 p.m. and reconvened at 1:04 p.m.)
V. CORRESPONDENCE:
1) State Street letter of 12 -23 -2014 — Death Check Service
Ms. LaDue explained the Death Check Service was an additional benefit from State
Street.
VI. OLD BUSINESS:
A) Disability Applications: Update /Status
1) Robert Epstein — Resolution of case — Letter of 2 -2 -2015
Attorney Jensen advised the case was over. She received the Order yesterday
assessing funds for attorney fees and the insurance company agreed to accept it. She
spoke with Paul Kelley who indicated he would be forwarding the check to her.
2) Gregory Kenny — Rescinded application 10 -29 -2014
Attorney Jensen explained Officer Kenny was applying for disability. Based on
correspondence, he was on light duty. They provided another doctor report, were
gathering the information and will set him up for another exam. The first exam was
unclear and was an analysis of what was occurring. It was noted Officer Kenny was
involved in another car accident.
Officer Wilmer Rodriguez submitted an application for disability. His doctor indicated he
was fit for duty with a minute chance of re- injury. Since he was on full duty, Attorney
Jensen thought he should withdraw his application. She thought there should be some
sort of indication given they cannot perform duties and likely would not be able to
perform. Chair Athol agreed to contact Officer Rodriguez to rescind his application.
B) Response in reference to media coverage on Pensions
Attorney Jensen advised she will deliver a completed report in about a week.

variable rates; however, Attorney Jensen received correspondence that additional Plan
language or changes to the Plan may be needed.
The outcome could be they would not treat the DROP accounts as a defined benefit,
and consider it a defined contribution plan. They would have to do away with the
variable rate and only offer the fixed. From all reports and the FPPTA, it did not appear
this would be instituted retroactively. If it were, many programs would have problems.
To provide an analysis for the provision, the League of Cities decided to compare the 60
months of accumulations in the DROP account at the end of the term, to the
accumulation of 60 months of benefit payments, to see if the DROP accounts were less.
Discussion ensued Defined Contribution plans could lose money, and the worst
scenario was to use a fixed rate. Attorney Jensen thought it was a quagmire. She
hoped the IRS would recognize this issue surfaced through no fault of the Board and
hoped the Determination Letter, which the IRS was currently reviewing, would be
effective beyond January 2016.
2) Proposed amendment to Disability Provision - to include 30 -60
days to file Application for Disability after termination of
employment.
Attorney Jensen distributed a section of the Plan dealing with disability retirement.
Proposed paragraph A showed what the benefit was, when it was payable, what
occurred if the member recovered, or if it went to Workers' Compensation. A provision
was added that terminated vested or non - vested members could not apply for disability
benefits, except that those terminated by the City for medical reasons may apply for
disability within 30 days after termination.
Motion
Mr. Caudell moved to accept the proposed amendment. Mr. Huntington seconded the
motion that unanimously passed.
3) Summary Plan Description (SPD) — Review & Approval
Attorney Jensen advised a letter from Pete Strong, Plan Actuary, regarding the
Summary Plan Description was included. She reviewed the document and advised the
proposed amendment indicated one had to be a member to apply. She did not think it
had to be included at this time since the Board already had a proposed amendment.
4) Legislative updates Special Tax Notice and Mileage Rates.
Attorney Jensen reviewed a proposed bill requiring all governmental plans to use a
mortality table used by the Florida Retirement System, (FRS). She explained FRS does
not just use the RP 2000 Table, rather they have three different tables: one for active

' INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Report on Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Boynton Beach Police Officers'
Pension Fund (Plan), which comprise the statements of fiduciary net position as of
' September 30, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of changes in fiduciary net position for
the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
' The Plan's Board of Trustees is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
1 States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of intemal control
relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement.
Auditor's Responsibility
' Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
' the fmancial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud
or error, in making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the
' Plan's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements, in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such
opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
' reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion.

' Opinion
In our opinion, the fmancial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
' fiduciary net position of the Boynton Beach Police Officers' Pension Fund as of September 30,
2014 and 2013, and the changes in fiduciary net position for the years then ended in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
' Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
' Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken
as a whole. The accompanying required supplementary information on pages 25 through 27 of the
' Boynton Beach Police Officers' Pension Fund is required by Governmental Accounting Standards
Board Statement No. 67 and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. The additional

procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures,
including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and
' other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements
themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the above information is fairly stated, in
I all material respects, in relation to the basic fmancial statements as a whole.
Other Information
• Management has omitted the Management's Discussion and Analysis that accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic
I financial statements. Such missing information, although not a part of the basic financial
statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be
an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate
operational, economic, or historical context. Our opinion on the basic financial statements is not
1 affected by this missing information.

1. Description of the Plan
I The following brief description of the Boynton Beach Police Officers' Pension
Plan (Plan) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer
1 to the Plan Agreement for more complete information.
General - The Plan was created in 1981 by Section 18 of an Ordinance adopted by
I the City of Boynton Beach, Florida. This Ordinance was substantively amended in 2001,
2002, 2006 and 2009.
I The Plan is a defined benefit pension plan covering all full -time police officers of
the City of Boynton Beach, Florida (City). Participation in the Plan is required as a
condition of employment. The Plan provides for pension, death and disability benefits.
I In addition, the Plan is a local law plan subject to provisions of Chapter 185 of the State
of Florida Statutes.
I The Plan, in accordance with the above statutes, is governed by a five member
pension board. Two police officers, two City residents and a fifth member elected by the
other four members constitute the pension board. The City and the Plan participants are
I obligated to fund all Plan costs based upon actuarial valuations. The City establishes
benefit levels while the board establishes the actuarial methods followed by the Plan.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 the Plan's
I membership consisted of:
Retirees and beneficiaries:
Currently receiving benefits 116
I Drop Retirees 51
Terminated employees entitled to benefits but
not yet receiving them 7
1 Total 174
1 Current employees:
Vested 70
I Nonvested 75
Total 145
I At September 30, 2013, the date of the most recent actuarial valuation, there were
106 retirees and beneficiaries receiving benefits.

1. Description of Plan (Continued)
I Pension Benefits - The p
ension plan provides retirement, death and disability
P P
benefits for its participants. A participant may retire with normal benefits after reaching
I age 55 and accumulating 10 or more years of credited service, at 20 years of service
without regard to age, or at age 50 with 15 years of credited service. Normal retirement
benefits are based on 3.5% of the participant's final average salary times the number of his
1 or her credited years of service. The final average salary for purposes of calculating
benefits is the participant' s average salary during the five highest years of the last ten years
of creditable service prior to retirement.
I A participant with 10 or more years of credited service is eligible for deferred
retirement. These benefits begin upon application on or after reaching age 55 and are
I computed the same as normal retirement, based upon the participant' s final average salary
and credited service at the date of termination. Benefits are reduced 1.5% per year for each •
year by which the participant' s age at retirement preceded the participant' s normal
1 retirement age.
Monthly Supplemental Retirement Benefit - Effective October 1, 2006, any retiree
I or beneficiary receiving pension benefits is entitled to a monthly supplemental pension
benefit. The benefit pool will be funded by 100% of the annual earnings and 10% of the
principal created by the contributions received.
I The benefit pool shall be divided according to the total number of years of service
rendered by all retirees, with a cap of 40 years. The shares will be divided on a pro -rata
I basis as defined in the ordinances.
The supplemental benefits was to be funded by a 1% contribution from the
Members and a 1% contribution by the City. Effective with the Chapter 185 monies
I received for calendar year 2001, the excess Chapter 185 dollars will be allocated to fund
the City's contributions until the Chapter 185 dollars are received for calendar year 2005
or, if earlier, until the entire 1% of the City contributions are covered by the increase in the
I Chapter 185 monies. Employees will contribute to this benefit through 20 years of service.
The actuarial value of the monthly supplemental benefit reserve at September 30,
1 2013 was approximately $2,080,498.

' 1. Description of Plan (Continued)
Deferred Retirement Option Plan - Any Plan participant who is eligible to receive
a normal retirement pension may elect to participate in a deferred retirement option plan
' (DROP) while continuing his or her active employment as a police officer. Upon
participation in the DROP, the participant becomes a retiree for all Plan purposes so that
he or she ceases to accrue any further benefits under the pension plan. Normal retirement
' payments that would have been payable to the participant as a result of retirement are
accumulated and invested in the DROP to be distributed to the participant upon his or her
termination of employment. The Plan provides for a participant to elect a partial lump sum
withdrawal. Participation in the DROP ceases for a Plan participant after the earlier of 5
years or the attainment of 30 years of service.
' An employee's account in the DROP program shall earn interest in one of two
ways. The selection of the earnings program shall be irrevocable and shall be made prior
to the first deposit into the DROP account. The options are summarized as follows:
A. Gain or loss interest at the same rate as the Plan; or,
B. At an annual fixed rate of seven percent (7 %); or,
' C. A combination of both A and B.
Participants, (after separation from service) may borrow from their DROP accounts
' a minimum of $5,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of their
DROP account balance. The loans are secured by the balance in the members' DROP
account and bear interest at the lowest bank rate at the issue date for the loan. Principal
' and interest is paid ratably through monthly payments.
Disability Benefits - Disability benefits for service related disabilities are paid to

I Basis of Accounting - Basis of accounting is the method by which revenues and
expenses are recognized in the accounts and are reported in the financial statements. The
I accrual basis of accounting is used for the Plan. Under the accrual basis of accounting,
revenues are recognized when they are earned and collection is reasonably assured, and
expenses are recognized when the liability is incurred. Plan member contributions are
I recognized in the period in which the contributions are due. City contributions to the plan
as calculated by the Plan's actuary, are recognized as revenue when due and the City has
made a formal commitment to provide the contributions. Benefits and refunds are
I recognized when due and payable in accordance with the terms of the plan.
Basis of Presentation - The accompanying financial statements are presented in
I accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 67,
Financial Reporting for Defined Benefit Pension Plans and the Codification of
Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards which covers the reporting
I requirements for defined benefit pensions established by a governmental employer. The
accompanying financial statements include solely the accounts of the Plan which include
all programs, activities and functions relating to the accumulation and investment of the
assets and related income necessary to provide the service, disability and death benefits
1 required under the terms of the Plan Ordinance and the amendments thereto.
Valuation of Investments - Investments in investment funds common stock and
1 bonds traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price
on the last business day of the year; securities traded in the over - the - counter market and
listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the mean between
1 the past reported bid and asked prices; investments in securities not having an established
market value are valued at fair value as determined by the Board of Trustees. The fair
value of an investment is the amount that the Plan could reasonably expect to receive for
I it in a current sale between market participants, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade date basis.

At year end September 30, 2014 the carrying amount of the Plan's deposits was
$25,518 and the bank balance was $26,576. The bank balance was covered by federal
depository insurance and, for the amount in excess of such federal depository insurance,
' by the State of Florida's Security for Public Deposits Act. Provisions of the Act require
that public deposits may only be held at qualified public depositories. The Act requires
each qualified public depository to deposit with the State Treasurer eligible collateral equal
to or in excess of the required collateral as determined by the provisions of the Act. In the
event of a failure by a qualified public depository, losses in excess of federal depository
insurance and proceeds from the sale of the securities pledged by the defaulting depository,
' are assessed against the other qualified public depositories of the same type as the
depository in default.
Russell Trust Company (Russell) periodically holds uninvested cash in its capacity
' as custodian for the Plan. These funds exist temporarily as cash in the process of collection
from the sale of securities or investments.
1 Investments
Investments that are not evidenced by securities that exist in physical or book-
1 entry form include investments in open -ended alternative investment funds.
The Plan's investments other than cash held by its administrative manager, are
1 segregated into a separate account and managed under a separate investment agreement
with Russell Investment group. This agreement gives Russell custodianship and the
authority to manage the investments.
These assets are invested in accordance with the specific investment guidelines as
set forth in the Plan's Investment Policy Statement. Investment management fees are
1 calculated quarterly as a percentage of the fair market value of the Plan's assets managed.
The Plan's investments are uninsured and unregistered and are held in custodians'
or the Bank's accounts in the Plan's name. Multi Asset Core Fund, Multi Manager Bond
' Fund, Large Capital Defensive Equity Fund, and Real Estate Investment Fund are privately
placed funds, which operates as alternative investments which offer their shares at the net
asset value (NAV) of the funds.

3. Deposits and Investments (Continued)
I The alternative investment funds invest in equity, fixed, international and real
estate investments. The investments in the underlying funds are generally valued at fair
' value as determined by the management of the fund by reference to the value of the
underlying fund's assets, if available, or by the valuation of a fund' s underlying assets as
provided by the general partner or investment manager, if the assets are not publicly traded.
The fund may also hold certain investments which may be valued by a single market maker.
While the fund managers use their best judgment in estimating the fair value of underlying
funds, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique. Accordingly the fair
' value of alternative investment funds have been estimated by the Plan's management in the
absence of readily ascertainable market values. Therefore, the values of such funds are not
necessarily indicative of the amount that could be realized in a current transaction. The fair
1 values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready
market for the underlying funds existed, and the difference could be material. Future
confirming events will also affect the estimates of fair value, and the effect of such events
on the estimates of fair value could be material.
The alternative investment fund expose the Plan to certain risks, including liquidity
risks, counterparty risks, foreign political economic, and governmental risks, and market
I risk. In addition, these investments may have initial lock -up periods, as well as restrictions
for liquidating positions in these funds, that make the investment non- current and non-
marketable.
' The alternative investments are valued using the net asset value (NAV) provided
by the investment managers of these funds. The NAV is based on the value of the
' underlying assets owned by the fund minus its liabilities and then divided by the number
of shares or percentage of ownership outstanding. The NAV's unit price is quoted on a
private market that is not active; however, the unit price is based on underlying investments
which are traded on an active market.
The values of these alternative investments are not necessarily indicative of the
' amount that could be realized in a current transaction. The fair value may differ
significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market for the
underlying funds existed, and the differences could be material. Future confirming events
' will also effect the estimates of fair value and the effect of such events on the estimated fair
value could be material.

1 Interest Rate Risk - Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will
adversely affect the fair value of an investment in debt securities. Generally, the longer the
' time to maturity, the greater the exposure to interest rate risk. Through its investment
policies the Plan manages its exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest
rates. The Plan limits the effective duration of its investment portfolio through the
adoption of nationally accepted risk measure bench marks.
' Credit Risk - Credit risk is the risk that a debt issuer will not fulfill its obligations.
Consistent with state law the Plan's investment guidelines limit its fixed income investment
' to a quality rating of `A' or equivalent as rated by one ore more recognized bond rating
service at the time of purchase. The Plan's fixed income portfolio may not include more
than 10% of its investments in securities having a quality rating of Baa.

1 Custodial Credit Risk - Custodial credit risk is defined as the risk that the Plan may
not recover cash and investments held by another party in the event of a financial failure.
The Plan requires all securities to be held by a third party custodian in the name of the
1 Plan. Securities transactions between a broker - dealer and the custodian involving the
purchase or sale of securities must be made on a "delivery vs. payment" basis to ensure that
the custodian will have the security or money, as appropriate, in hand at the conclusion of
I the transaction. The investments in mutual funds and investment partnerships are .
considered unclassified pursuant to the custodial credit risk categories of GASB Statement
No. 3, because they are not evidenced by securities that exist in physical or book -entry
1 form.
Investing in Foreign Markets - Investing in foreign markets may involve special
I risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in companies in the United
States of America. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation,
repatriation restrictions on income and capital, and future adverse political, social, and
1 economic developments. Moreover, securities of foreign governments may be less liquid,
subj ect to delayed settlements, taxation on realized or unrealized gains, and their prices are
more volatile than those of comparable securities in U.S. companies.
1 Foreign Tax Withholdings and Reclaims - Withholding taxes on dividends from
foreign securities are provided for based on rates established via treaty between the United
States of America and the applicable foreign jurisdiction, or where no treaty exists at the
I prevailing rate established by the foreign country. Foreign tax withholdings are reflected
as a reduction of dividend income in the statement of changes in fiduciary net position.
Where treaties allow for a reclaim of taxes, the Fund will make a formal application for
refund. Such reclaims are included as an addition to dividend income.
Investing in Real Estate - The Plan is subject to risks inherent in the ownership and
1 operation of real estate. These risks include, among others, those normally associated with
changes in the general economic climate, trends in the industry including creditworthiness
of tenants, competition for tenants, changes in tax laws, interest rate levels, the availability
1 of financing and potential liability under environmental and other laws.

Healthy Participant Mortality Tables for males and females, including projections
for future improvements in mortality rates, continues to be phased in this year.
I ➢. The assumed withdrawal rates, which were updated two years ago (please see the
actuarial assumptions and methods section), continue to be phased in this year.
I These revisions are being phased in over a five -year period, beginning with the October 1,
2011 actuarial valuation. In this year's actuarial valuation, 60% of the revised rates and 40%
' of the prior rates are used. In the previous year's actuarial valuation 40% of the revised rates
and 60% of the prior rates were used. This change caused an increase in the contribution of

10. Risk and Uncertainties
1 The Plan invests in a variety of investment funds. Investments in general are exposed
to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall volatility risk. Due to the level of
I risk associated with certain investments, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values
of investments will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the
amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.

14. Net Pension Liability of the City (Continued)
I The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using P p P g a
I building -block method in which best - estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return
(expected returns, net of pension plan investment expenses and inflation) are developed for
each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long -term expected rate
I of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation
percentage and by adding expected inflation. Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return
for each major asset class included in the pension plan's target asset allocation as of
I September 30, 2014 are summarized in the following table:
Investment
I Asset Long-Tenn Expected Real Rate
Allocation Asset Class of Return
1 30.0% Global equity 2.24%
25.0 Domestic equity 4.80
32.0 Bonds 2.44

I
2.0 Commodities 4.90
2.0 Cash 4.10
1 Discount Rate - The discount rate of 7.75% was used to measure the total pension
liability. This single discount rate was based on the expected rate of return on pension plan
I investments of 7.75 %. The projection of cash flows used to determine this single discount
rate assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and
that employer contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between the total
I actuarially determined contribution rates and the member rate. Based on these assumptions,
the pension plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected
future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long- term expected rate of
I return on pension plan investments (7.75 %) was applied to all period of projected benefit
payments to determine the total pension liability.

Board of Trustees
City of Boynton Beach Municipal
Police Officers' Retirement Fund
■ Boynton Beach, Florida
■ Dear Board Members:
■ The results of the October 1, 2014 Annual Actuarial Valuation of the City of Boynton Beach Municipal Police
Officers' Retirement Fund are presented in this report.
■ This report was prepared at the request of the Board and is intended for use by the Retirement System and those
■ designated or approved by the Board. This report may be provided to parties other than the System only in its
entirety and only with the permission of the Board.
The purpose of the valuation is to measure the System's funding progress, to determine the employer
■ contribution rate for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016, and to determine the actuarial information for
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 27 and No. 67. This report also includes
estimated GASB Statement No. 67 information for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2015.
This report should not be relied on for any purpose other than the purpose described above.
The findings included in this report are based on data or other information through September 30, 2014. Future
■ actuarial measurements may differ significantly from the current measurements presented in this report due to
such factors as the following: plan experience differing from that anticipated by the economic or demographic
■ assumptions; changes in economic or demographic assumptions; increases or decreases expected as part of the
natural operation of the methodology used for these measurements (such as the end of an amortization period or
■ additional cost or contribution requirements based on the plan's funded status); and changes in plan provisions
or applicable law.
■ The valuation was based upon information furnished by the Plan Administrator concerning Retirement System
■ benefits, fmancial transactions, plan provisions and active members, terminated members, retirees and
beneficiaries. We checked for internal and year -to -year consistency, but did not otherwise audit the data. We
are not responsible for the accuracy or completeness of the information provided by the Plan Administrator.
This report was prepared using certain assumptions prescribed by the Board as described in Section B.
The undersigned actuaries are members of the American Academy of Actuaries and meet the Qualification
Standards of the American Academy of Actuaries to render the actuarial opinions contained herein. The
■ signing actuaries are independent of the plan sponsor.
■ This report has been prepared by actuaries who have substantial experience valuing public employee retirement
systems. To the best of our knowledge the information contained in this report is accurate and fairly presents
• the actuarial position of the Retirement System as of the valuation date. All calculations have been made in
conformity with generally accepted actuarial principles and practices, with the Actuarial Standards of Practice
■ issued by the Actuarial Standards Board and with applicable statutes.
■
i
This actuarial valuation and/or cost determination was prepared and completed by me or under my direct
■ supervision, and I acknowledge responsibility for the results. To the best of my knowledge, the results are
complete and accurate. In my opinion, the techniques and assumptions used are reasonable, meet the
requirements and intent of Part VII, Chapter 112, Florida Statutes, and are based on generally accepted
actuarial principles and practices. There is no benefit or expense to be provided by the plan and/or paid from
■ the plan's assets for which liabilities or current costs have not been established or otherwise taken into account
in the valuation. All known events or trends which may require a material increase in plan costs or required
contribution rates have been taken into account in the valuation.
■ Respectfully submitted,

DISCUSSION OF VALUATION RESULTS
■ Comparison of Required Employer Contributions
■ A comparison of the required employer contribution developed in this and the last actuarial valuation is
■ shown below. The contribution policy of the City is to contribute the dollar amount determined by multiplying
the required percentage of payroll determined as of the valuation date by the projected pensionable payroll for
■ the year.

■ Required Employer /State Contribution $ 4,856,392 $ 4,830,346 $ 26,046

■ Required Employer Contribution $ 4,391,305 $ 4,365,259 $ 26,046
As % of Covered Payroll 38.21 % 37.71 % 0.50 %
■ The required employer contribution has been computed under the assumption that the amount to be
■ received from the State next year will be at least $465,087. The City may not take credit for State revenue in
excess of $465,087. If the next payment from the State falls below $465,087, the City must raise its
■ contribution by the difference.
■ The employer contribution listed above is for the City's fiscal year ending September 30, 2016 and has
■ been calculated assuming the employer contribution is made on October 1, 2015. The actual City contribution
■ for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014 was $4,159,736, which slightly exceeded the required
contribution.
■ GRS

■ 3
■ The net actuarial gain for the year has caused a decrease in the annual required employer contribution
of 1.18% of covered payroll.
■ Funded Ratio
■ The funded ratio was 62.3% this year compared to 59.1% last year. Before the change in assumptions
■ described above, the funded ratio was 62.6 %. The funded ratio is equal to the actuarial value of assets divided
by the actuarial accrued liability.
■ Analysis of Change in Employer Contribution
■
■ The components of change in the required employer contribution are as follows:
■ Contribution Rate Last Year 37.71 %
■ Actuarial Experience (1.18)
Change in Administrative Expense 0.03
■ Amortization Payment on UAL 0.49
Change in State Contribution (0.03)
■ Change in Normal Cost Rate (0.03)
■ Change in Assumptions and Methods 1.22
Contribution Rate This Year 38.21
■
■
■ Required Contributions in Later Years
■ The current calculated City contribution requirement is 38.21% of payroll starting October 1, 2015.
■ For future planning purposes, the City contribution rate is expected to increase by approximately 1.22% of
■ payroll during the next year due to the continued phase in of the assumption changes, assuming there are no
■ gains or losses.
■ It is important to keep in mind that under the asset smoothing method, gains and losses are recognized
■ over five years. As of September 30, 2014, the market value of assets exceeded the actuarial value of assets by
$3,391,389. Once all the gains and losses through September 30, 2014 are fully recognized in the actuarial
■ asset values, the contribution rate will decrease by roughly 1.6% of payroll before any other changes are taken
■ into account, unless there are offsetting losses.
Another important factor to consider is the annual payment on the unfunded accrued liability (UAL).
■ This payment is computed as a level percentage of covered payroll under the assumption that covered payroll

CHAPTER REVENUE
Increments in Chapter revenue over that received in 1998 must first be used to fund the cost of
■ compliance with minimum benefits. Once minimums are met, any subsequent additional Chapter revenue
■ must be used to provide extra benefits.

III Actuarial Accrued Liability The difference between the Actuarial Present Value of Future Benefits,
(AAL) and the Actuarial Present Value of Future Normal Costs.
® Actuarial Assumptions Assumptions about future plan experience that affect costs or liabilities,
II such as: mortality, withdrawal, disablement, and retirement; future
increases in salary; future rates of investment earnings; future investment
■ and administrative expenses; characteristics of members not specified in
the data, such as marital status; characteristics of future members; future
■ elections made by members; and other items.
Actuarial Cost Method A procedure for allocating the Actuarial Present Value of Future Benefits
between the Actuarial Present Value of Future Normal Costs and the
■ Actuarial Accrued Liability.
in Actuarial Equivalent Of equal Actuarial Present Value, determined as of a given date and based
on a given set of Actuarial Assumptions.
Actuarial Present Value The amount of funds required to provide a payment or series of payments
• (APV) in the future. It is determined by discounting the future payments with an
assumed interest rate and with the assumed probability each payment will
II be made.
III Actuarial Present Value of The Actuarial Present Value of amounts which are expected to be paid at
■ Future Benefits (APVFB) various future times to active members, retired members, beneficiaries
receiving benefits, and inactive, nonretired members entitled to either a
i refund or a future retirement benefit. Expressed another way, it is the
value that would have to be invested on the valuation date so that the
■ amount invested plus investment earnings would provide sufficient assets
to pay all projected benefits and expenses when due.
II
Actuarial Valuation The determination, as of a valuation date, of the Normal Cost, Actuarial
• Accrued Liability, Actuarial Value of Assets, and related Actuarial
Present Values for a plan. An Actuarial Valuation for a governmental
II retirement system typically also includes calculations of items needed for
compliance with GASB, such as the Funded Ratio and the Annual
■ Required Contribution (ARC).
I. Actuarial Value of Assets The value of the assets as of a given date, used by the actuary for
valuation purposes. This may be the market or fair value of plan assets
II or a smoothed value in order to reduce the year -to -year volatility of
II calculated results, such as the funded ratio and the actuarially required
contribution (ARC).
II
Amortization Method A method for determining the Amortization Payment. The most common
methods used are level dollar and level percentage of payroll. Under the
■ Level Dollar method, the Amortization Payment is one of a stream of
payments, all equal, whose Actuarial Present Value is equal to the UAAL.
■ Under the Level Percentage of Pay method, the Amortization Payment is

■
28
■ Normal Cost The annual cost assigned, under the Actuarial Cost Method, to the current
plan year.
■ Open Amortization Period An open amortization period is one which is used to determine the
Amortization Payment but which does not change over time. In other
words, if the initial period is set as 30 years, the same 30 -year period is
■ used in determining the Amortization Period each year. In theory, if an
Open Amortization Period is used to amortize the Unfunded Actuarial
■ Accrued Liability, the UAAL will never completely disappear, but will
■ become smaller each year, either as a dollar amount or in relation to
covered payroll.
■ Unfunded Actuarial Accrued The difference between the Actuarial Accrued Liability and Actuarial
■ Liability Value of Assets.
Valuation Date The date as of which the Actuarial Present Value of Future Benefits are
determined. The benefits expected to be paid in the future are discounted
■ to this date.
