DIAMOND ■ TOWN OF SOUTHOLD POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS ■ OTHER THAN PENSION ACTUARIAL VALUATION Executive Summary (Cont'd) . This section presents detailed valuation results for the Town's Plan. ■ The Present Value of all Projected Benefits is the total present value of all expected future benefits, based on certain actuarial assumptions. The Present Value of all projected benefits is a measure of total liability or obligation. Essentially, the Present Value of all projected benefits is the value (on the ■ valuation date) of the benefits promised to current and future retirees. The Plan's present value of all projected benefits at January 1, 2013 is $98,216,018. The Actuarial Accrued Liability is the liability or obligation for benefits earned through the valuation date, based on certain actuarial methods and assumptions. The Plan's Actuarial Accrued Liability at ■ January 1, 2013 is $65,881,679. The Actuarial Accrued Liability represents approximately 67%of the present value of all projected benefits. ■ Normal Cost is the value of benefits expected to be earned during the year, again based on certain actuarial methods and assumptions. The 2013 Fiscal Year Normal Cost is $2,707,968. • The results were calculated based upon plan provisions, as provided by the Town, along with certain ■ demographic and economic assumptions as recommended by Chernoff Diamond & Co., LLC with guidance from GASB statement. ■ Demographic Assumptions Data was provided by the Town as of January 2013. Standard actuarial method and assumptions were ■ used to project the data. There is no assumption for future new hires. 2 - a,ms z., s rF i sSe_ es ��a CHERNOFF �s h � s *DIAMOND TOWN OF SOUTHOLD POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS ■ OTHER THAN PENSION ACTUARIAL VALUATION Executive Summary (Cont'd) ;: .., ■ ■ Economic Assumptions ■ The GASB statement requires that the discount rate used to determine the retiree healthcare liabilities should be the estimated long-term yield on the "investments that are expected to be used to finance the payments of benefits". Since the Town does not pre-fund the retiree healthcare liabilities, the ■ discount rate should be based on the portfolio of the Town's "general assets" used to pay healthcare benefits. This portfolio could suggest a 3.75%to 4.25% discount rate. Based on Chernoff Diamond & Co., LLC's recommendation as well as the Town's own long term outlook, a discount rate of 4.00% was assumed. The trend assumption is used to project the growth of the expected claims over the lifetime of the ■ healthcare recipients. The GASB statement does not require a particular source for information to determine healthcare trends, but it does recommend selecting a source that is "publicly available, objective and unbiased". ■ Chernoff Diamond & Co., LLC developed the trend assumption utilizing the Town's information in published papers from other industry experts (actuaries, health economists, etc.), as well as ■ assumptions recommended by New York State Department of Civil Service. . The balance of this report provides greater detail for the above results. ■ 3 CHERNOFF rwE � t AU sDi �)er, D -ed o ., c.u:gs ecties. deg.1 r ._._. a�Jc E = e, DIAMOND TOWN OF SOUTHOLD POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS ■ OTHER THAN PENSION ACTUARIAL VALUATION Principal Valuation Results ■ The following highlights the Town's recognition of the above amounts: ■ The January 1, 2013 assets are $0. .

The portion of this actuarial present value allocated to a valuation year is called the normal cost. ■ Amortization. Paying off an interest-bearing liability by means of periodic payments of interest and principal, as opposed to paying it off with a lump sum payment. ■ Annual OPEB Cost (AOC).
