What is the chronology of School Board discussion about the changes to ERFC that are currently being considered? In the context of the decision by the School Board to defer action on changes to ERFC until additional questions can be answered, why was the transfer request increased on February 9, 2017? In addition to the changes currently being considered, what is the history of changes to ERFC? |

o The same discount rate (7.25%) as was used to determine the cost of maintaining ERFC. o The same amortization period as was used to determine the cost of maintaining ERFC. o The same entry age actuarial cost method as was used to determine the cost of maintaining ERFC. o The same asset smoothing method as was used to determine the cost of maintaining ERFC. In short, please recalculate the cost to close the ERFC for new hires using identical assumptions that were used to determine the cost of maintaining ERFC in its existing form. Additionally, please provide documentation to justify changing from "individual entry age actuarial cost method" to the "aggregate cost method." The previous response indicates that both GFOA and GASB recommend this change in methodology. Please provide documentation to that effect. |
