CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA <br />NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS <br />December 31, 2018 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />rates of return by the target asset allocation percentages. The target allocation and best estimates of <br />geometric real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table: <br /> <br />Target Long-Term Expected <br />Asset Class Allocation Real Rate of Return <br />Domestic stocks 36%5.10% <br />International stocks 17%5.30% <br />Bonds (fixed income)20%0.75% <br />Alternative assets (private markets)25%5.90% <br />Cash 2%0.00% <br />Totals 100% <br /> <br />F. DISCOUNT RATE <br /> <br />The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.5%. The projection of cash flows <br />used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members and employees will <br />be made at the rate set in Minnesota statutes. Based on that assumption, the fiduciary net position of the <br />GERF and the PEPFF was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of <br />current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments <br />was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability. <br /> <br />G. PENSION LIABILITY SENSITIVITY <br /> <br />The following presents the City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability for all plans it <br />participates in, calculated using the discount rate disclosed in the preceding paragraph, as well as what <br />the City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount <br />rate 1 percentage point lower or 1 percentage point higher than the current discount rate: <br /> <br />1% Decrease in 1% Increase in <br />Discount Rate (6.5%) Discount Rate (7.5%) Discount Rate (8.5%) <br />City's proportionate share of the <br /> GERF net pension liability $3,434,922 $2,113,632 $1,022,944 <br />City's proportionate share of the <br /> PEPFF net pension liability $5,544,259 $2,585,866 $139,398 <br /> <br />H.
