CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA <br />NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS <br />December 31, 2022 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />2. PEPFF Pension Costs <br /> <br />At December 31, 2022, the City reported a liability of $10,300,249 for its proportionate share of the <br />PEPFF’s net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2022 and the <br />total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial <br />valuation as of that date. The City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability was based on <br />the City’s contributions received by PERA during the measurement period for employer payroll <br />paid dates from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022, relative to the total employer contributions <br />received from all of PERA’s participating employers. The City’s proportionate share was 0.2367% <br />at the end of the measurement period and 0.2234% for the beginning of the period. <br /> <br />The State of Minnesota also contributed $18 million to PEPFF during the plan fiscal year ended <br />June 30, 2022. The contribution consisted of $9 million in direct state aid that meets the definition <br />of a special funding situation and $9 million in supplemental state aid that does not meet the <br />definition of a special funding situation. The direct state aid was paid on October 1, 2021. <br />Thereafter, by October 1 of each year, the state will pay $9 million to the PEPFF until full funding <br />is reached or July 1, 2048, whichever is earlier. The $9 million in supplemental state aid will <br />continue until the fund is 90% funded, or until the State Patrol Plan (administered by the Minnesota <br />State Retirement System) is 90% funded, whichever occurs later. <br /> <br />The State of Minnesota is included as a non-employer contributing entity in the PEPFF Schedule of <br />Employer Allocations and Schedule of Pension Amounts by Employer, Current Reporting Period <br />Only (pension allocation schedules) for the $9 million in direct state aid. PEPFF employers need to <br />recognize their proportionate share of the State of Minnesota’s pension expense (and grant revenue) <br />under GASB 68 special funding situation accounting and financial reporting requirements. For the <br />year ended December 31, 2022, the City recognized pension expense of $797,745 for its <br />proportionate share of the Police and Fire Plan’s pension expense. The City recognized an <br />additional $87,304 as pension expense (and grant revenue) for its proportionate share of the State of <br />Minnesota’s contribution of $9 million to the PEPFF. <br /> <br />The State of Minnesota is not included as a non-employer contributing entity in the Police and Fire <br />Pension Plan pension allocation schedules for the $9 million in supplemental state aid. The City <br />recognized $21,303 for the year ended December 31, 2022 as revenue and an offsetting reduction <br />of net pension liability for its proportionate share of the State of Minnesota’s on-behalf <br />contributions to the Police and Fire Fund. <br /> <br />68
