expected value of assets as of any
valuation date is determined by applying
actual Plan contributions and disbursements
and the assumed investment yield to the
previous year' s expected value of assets
adjusted for any fully recognized cumulative
differences. The adjustment is further
modified, if necessary, by an amount sufficient
to ensure that the actuarial value of assets is

not less than 80% nor more than 120% of
market value.
10. Plan Expenses: Actual expenses incurred for the previous plan
year.
11. Cost-of-Living Adjustment: 3. 0% per annum ( does not apply to disability
benefits).
12. Payroll Growth Rate: 4. 0% per year; used to project normal cost
requirements to applicable fiscal year.
Actuarial Cost Method
Contribution Requirements
To determine the Plan' s contribution requirements, the Individual Entry Age Actuarial
Cost Method was used. Vnder this method, the cost of each member' s projected
retirement benefit is funded through a series of annual payments, determined as a level
level
percentage of each year' s earnings from age at hire to assumed exit age. This
percentage, known as normal cost, is thus computed as though the Plan had always
been in effect. A yearly normal cost for each member is individually determined by
multiplying each member' s level percentage by the applicable yearly earnings, then
adding together to obtain the normal cost amount for the Plan for that year. The accrued
value of normal cost payments due prior to the valuation date is termed the actuarial
accrued liability (AAL). This amount minus the actuarial value of assets is known as the
unfunded actuarial accrued liability (VAAL). The annual cost of a plan consists of two
components: normal cost and an amortization payment, which may vary between
prescribed limits, toward the VAAL.
An actuarial gain ( or loss), a measurement of the difference between actual experience
and that expected based upon the actuarial assumptions during the period between two
actuarial valuation dates, reduces ( or increases) the UAAL.
The initial VAALs are being amortized over a four-year period from October 1, 2004, for
the unamortized portion of the UAAL established prior to October 1, 1994; VAAL bases
established on or after October I, 1994, will be amortized over 15 years from inception.
Each year' s VAAL base can be either positive or negative, with amortization credits
occurring if negative.

Miscellaneous Valuation Procedures
limits
1. Projected retirement benefits were limited to IRC Section 415 benefit
a life annuity,
applicable to the current plan year ( for 2006, $ 175,000), payable as
benefit
beginning at or after age 62, reduced as applicable for earlier
commencement with assumed increases equal to the assumed long- term rate of
inflation.
limits
2. Projected earnings were limited to IRC Section 401( a)( 17) compensation
applicable to the current plan year ( for 2006, $ 220,000) with assumed
increases
equal to the assumed long- term rate of inflation.
3. Annual covered payroll is the amount of total pensionable earnings paid during
the prior fiscal year for employees who are currently active members in the Plan.
Valuation payroll is payroll expected to be paid during the current fiscal year,
determined using prior-year covered payroll and the salary increase assumption
fiscal year are
by individual member. Contribution requirements for the next
based on valuation payroll for the current fiscal year projected for one year using
the payroll growth assumption.
4. Member information is current as of October I, 2006.
5. It was assumed that 100% of future disablements would be service connected.
6. No liability was recognized in the valuation for nonvested employees who have
terminated, whether or not a break in service has occurred as of the valuation
date, since any potential liability for this group is not significant. Note that upon
rehire, any applicable prior employment service credits will be fully recognized
in the valuation.
7. The effect of member contributions on the funding of normal cost requirements
has been the member contribution rate from the
recognized through subtracting
total Plan normal cost rate to determine the net City portion.

8. The contribution requirement includes an amount to recognize the Plan' s
anticipated administrative expenses based on actual prior experience ( see
assumptions). This amount is reflected in the required normal cost.
