CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2021 received from all of PERA's participating employers. The City's proportionate share was 0.2234% at the end of the measurement period and 0.2336% for the beginning of the period. The State of Minnesota also contributed $18 million to PEPFF during the plan fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. The contribution consisted of $9 million in direct state aid that meets the definition of a special funding situation and $9 million in supplemental state aid that does not meet the definition of a special funding situation. The direct state aid was paid on October 1, 2020. Thereafter, by October 1 of each year, the state will pay $9 million to the PEPFF until full funding is reached or July 1, 2048, whichever is earlier. The $9 million in supplemental state aid will continue until the fund is 90% funded, or until the State Patrol Plan (administered by the Minnesota State Retirement System) is 90% funded, whichever occurs later. Strong asset returns for the fiscal year ended 2021 will accelerate the phasing out of these state contributions, although we do not anticipate them to be phased out during the fiscal year ending 2022. The State of Minnesota is included as a non -employer contributing entity in the PEPFF Schedule of Employer Allocations and Schedule of Pension Amounts by Employer, Current Reporting Period Only (pension allocation schedules) for the $9 million in direct state aid.
