CITY OF ROSEVILLE, MINNESOTA <br />NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS <br />December 31, 2021 <br />E.Net Pension Liability <br />The City's net pension liability was measured as of December 31, 2021and the total pension liability <br />used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. <br />Actuarialassumptions: <br />The total pension liability in the December 31, 2021actuarial valuation was determined using the <br />following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement: <br />Inflation 2.25% Per year <br />Active member payroll growth 6.00% percent average, including inflation <br />Investment rate of return 6.00% percent, net of pension plan investment <br />expense including inflation <br />The value of death benefits is similar to the value of the retirement pension. Because of low <br />retirement ages, the plan assumes no pre-retirement mortality. Post-retirement mortality does not <br />apply as the benefit structure and form of payment do not reflect lifetime benefits. <br />The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a <br />building-block method in which best-estimates of expected future real rates of return (expected <br />returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation)are developed for each major <br />asset class. These asset class estimates are combined to produce the portfolio long-term <br />expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the current asset <br />allocation percentage (or target allocation, if available) and by adding expected inflation. All <br />results are then rounded to the nearest quarter percent and are summarized in the following <br />table. <br />Allocation atLong-TermLong-Term <br />Measurement Expected Real Expected Nominal <br />Asset ClassDateRate of ReturnRate of Return <br />Domestic equity75.33%4.42%6.67% <br />International equity0.00%4.91%7.16% <br />Fixed income21.69%1.00%3.25% <br />International equity - emergimg0.00%3.98%6.23% <br />Cash and equivalents2.98%-0.33%1.92% <br />Total100%6.01% <br />Reduced for assumed investment expense-0.10% <br />Net assumed investment return (rounded to quarter percent)6.00% <br />Discountrate: <br />The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.00%. Assets were projected <br />using expected benefit payments and expected asset returns. Expected benefit payments by year <br />were discounted using the expected asset return assumption for years in which the assets were <br />sufficient to pay all benefit payments. Any remaining benefit payments after the trust fund is <br />exhausted are discounted at the municipal bond rate. The equivalent single rate is the discount <br />rate. <br />72 <br /> <br />
