<br />At June 30, 2015, the City reported $30,504,733 for its proportionate share of the net pension asset (liability). The net
<br />pension asset (liability) was measured as of June 30, 2014, and the total pension asset used to calculate the net
<br />pension asset (liability) was determined by an actuarial valuation as of December 31, 2012 rolled forward to June 30,
<br />2014. The City's proportion of the net pension asset (liability) was based on a projection of the City's long-term share
<br />of contributions to the pension plan relative to the projected contributions of all participating entities, actuarially
<br />determined. At June 30, 2014, the City's proportion was 1.3458%, which was unchanged from its proportion
<br />measured as of June 30, 2013.
<br />For the year ended June 30, 2015, the City recognized pension expense (income) of ($28,225,663). At June 30,
<br />2015, the City reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the

<br />Actuarial Valuations
<br />The employer contribution rates effective July 1, 2013, through June 30, 2015, were set using the projected unit credit
<br />actuarial cost method. For the Tier One/Tier Two component of the PERS Defined Benefit Plan, this method
<br />produced an employer contribution rate consisting of 1) an amount for normal cost (the estimated amount necessary
<br />to finance benefits earned by the employees during the current service year), 2) an amount for the amortization of
<br />unfunded actuarial accrued liabilities, which are being amortized over a fixed period with new unfunded actuarial
<br />accrued liabilities being amortized over 20 years. For the OPSRP Pension Program component of the PERS Defined
<br />Benefit Plan, this method produced an employer contribution rate consisting of 1) an amount for normal cost (the
<br />estimated amount necessary to finance benefits earned by the employees during the current service year), 2) an
<br />amount for the amortization of unfunded actuarial accrued liabilities, which are being amortized over a fixed period
<br />with new unfunded actuarial accrued liabilities being amortized over 16 years.
