CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 The following changes in actuarial assumptions and plan provisions occurred in 2024: General Employees Fund Changes in Actuarial Assumptions: • Rates of merit and seniority were adjusted, resulting in slightly higher rates. • Assumed rates of retirement were adjusted as follows: increase the rate of assumed unreduced retirements, slight adjustments to Rule of 90 retirement rates, and slight adjustments to early retirement rates for Tier 1 and Tier 2 members. • Minor increase in assumed withdrawals for males and females. • Lower rates of disability. • Continued use of Pub-2010 general mortality table with slight rate adjustments as recommended in the most recent experience study. • Minor changes to form of payment assumptions for male and female retirees. • Minor changes to assumptions made with respect to missing participant data. Changes in Plan Provisions: • The workers' compensation offset for disability benefits was eliminated. The actuarial equivalent factors updated to reflect the changes in assumptions. Police and Fire Fund Changes in Plan Provisions: • The State contribution of $9.0 million per year will continue until the earlier of 1) both the Police & Fire Plan and the State Patrol Retirement Fund attain 90 percent funded status for three consecutive years (on an actuarial value of assets basis) or 2) July 1, 2048. The contribution was previously due to expire after attaining a 90 percent funded status for one year. • The additional $9.0 million contribution will continue until the Police & Fire Plan is fully funded for a minimum of three consecutive years on an actuarial value of assets basis, or July 1, 2048, whichever is earlier. This contribution was previously due to expire upon attainment of fully funded status on an actuarial value of assets basis for one year (or July 1, 2048 if earlier). The State Board of Investment, which manages the investments of PERA, prepares an analysis of the reasonableness on a regular basis of the long-term expected rate of return using a building-block method in which best -estimate ranges of expected future rates of return are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce an expected long-term rate of return by weighting the expected future rates of return by the target asset allocation percentages. The target allocation and best estimates of geometric real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table: Target Long -Term Expected Asset Class Allocation Real Rate of Return Domestic equity 33.5% 5.10% International equity 16.5% 5.30% Fixed income 25.0% 0.75% Private markets 25.0% 5.90% Totals 100% 71
