  11. Advantages More realistic assumptions given the characteristics of the FPRS Minimizes the volatility and the gap between actuarial value of assets and market value of assets Mitigates the risk of creating future unfunded liabilities Does not eliminate market or inflation risk

  12. Recommendation • Execution of the Amended and Restated Contribution Agreement with the FPRS, and; • Adoption of a Resolution authorizing the issuance of not to exceed the lesser of (i) $50 million of (II) the amount required to achieve a funding level for the FPRS of 85 percent based on the new actuarial assumptions and approving and authorizing the execution all the bond documents.
