CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA <br />NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS <br />December 31, 2021 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The following changes in actuarial assumptions and plan provisions occurred in 2021: <br /> <br />General Employees Fund <br />Changes in Actuarial Assumptions: <br /> The investment return and single discount rates were changed from 7.50% to 6.50% for <br />financial reporting purposes. <br /> The mortality improvement scale was changed from Scale MP-2019 to Scale MP-2020. <br /> <br />Police and Fire Fund <br />Changes in Actuarial Assumptions: <br /> The investment return and single discount rates were changed from 7.50% to 6.50% for <br />financial reporting purposes. <br /> The inflation assumption was changed from 2.50% to 2.25%. <br /> The payroll growth assumption was changed from 3.25% to 3.00%. <br /> The base mortality tables for healthy annuitants, disabled annuitants and employees were <br />changed from RP-2014 tables to Pub-2010 Public Safety Mortality tables. The mortality <br />improvement scale was changed from MP-2019 to MN-2020. <br /> Assumed salary increase and retirement rates were modified as recommended in the July 14, <br />2020 experience study. The changes result in a decrease in gross salary increase rates, slightly <br />more unreduced retirements and fewer assumed early retirements. <br /> Assumed rates of withdrawal were changed from select and ultimate rates to service-based <br />rates. The changes result in more assumed terminations. <br /> Assumed rates of disability were increased for ages 25-44 and decreased for ages over 49. <br />Overall, proposed rates result in more projected disabilities. <br /> Assumed percent married for active female members was changed from 60% to 70%. <br /> <br />The State Board of Investment, which manages the investments of PERA, prepares an analysis of <br />the reasonableness on a regular basis of the long-term expected rate of return using a building-block <br />method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future rates of return are developed for each <br />major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce an expected long-term rate of return by <br />weighting the expected future rates of return by the target asset allocation percentages. The target <br />allocation and best estimates of geometric real rates of return for each major asset class are <br />summarized in the following table: <br /> <br />Target Long-Term Expected <br />Asset Class Allocation Real Rate of Return <br />Domestic equity 33.5%5.10% <br />International equity 16.5%5.30% <br />Fixed income 25.0%0.75% <br />Private markets 25.0%5.90% <br />Totals 100% <br /> <br />67
