Executive Summary
October 24, 2016
City of Lansing Police and Fire Retirement System
124 W. Michigan Avenue
8th Floor
Lansing, MI 48933
Members of the Board:
The following report sets forth the Actuarial Valuation of the City of Lansing Police and Fire Retirement
System (the System) as of December 31, 2015. The report is based on participant data and asset
summary as of December 31, 2015 as submitted by the Plan Administrator and City finance department.
We relied on this information without auditing it.
INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE:
The total Market Value of Plan Assets for the plan year ending December 31, 2015 was $310,270,615.
Plan assets exclude from this a reserve for healthcare benefits. The total yield of the fund for the plan
year ending December 31, 2015 was -0.1%% on the market value of assets and 7.2% on an actuarial
basis,taking into account asset smoothing.
The Plan uses a smoothing method to determine the City's contributions. Under this method, asset gains
or losses are spread over a 5-year period. The gains and losses are determined every year by comparing
actual investment returns with expected asset performance.
Details of the development of the Actuarial Asset Value are shown on page 7.
FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS:
The total recommended City contribution for fiscal year 2015 is $11,521,768. Last year the total
recommended contribution was $10,884,312. There was an actuarial loss on the Actuarial Liability due
to salary increases more than the assumed which resulted in an increase in the City Contribution, as well
as more retirements than expected.
FUNDING PROGRESS:
The Actuarial Accrued Liability as of December 31, 2014 is $410,189,555 compared to the Actuarial
Value of Assets of $292,531,481, resulting in a plan funded ratio of 71.3%. Using the market value of
assets,this ratio is 68.6%.

Actuarial Funding Valuation
Funding Method: Entry Age Normal Actuarial Cost Method. The contribution equals the sum
of the normal cost and the amount necessary to amortize the unfunded
actuarial liability as a level percent of payroll over a closed period of thirty
years, decreasing by 1 year to an ultimate period of 15 years (26 years
remaining as of December 31, 2015).
Asset Smoothing Method: Investment gains and losses are determined annually and each is spread
over a 5-year period. This is done on a total fund basis. The value of the
healthcare reserve is then excluded from the valuation assets.
Investment Return: 7.60%compounded annually, net of investment expenses
Cost of Living (inflation): The cost of living as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is assumed
to increase at the rate of 3.10% per year.
Salary Increases: Increases in salary are assumed to be equal to inflation, plus 7.00% for
those with less than 5 years of service or 0.75%for all others
Mortality: RP2000 with Blue Collar adjustments for males and females. For Disabled
members, the disabled version of these tables are assumed with a 5 year
age setback for males. Each of these tables is projected to 2008 using Scale
BB. Future improvements in mortality for non disabled members are
anticipated by projecting these tables an additional 15 years using 50% of
Scale BB.
Percent Married: 90%of participants are assumed to be married. Male spouses are assumed
to be three years older than their female spouse.
Disability: Rates of disability vary based on the age of the member. 95%of disabilities
are assumed to be duty related.

Actuarial Funding Valuation
Glossary of Terms
Actuarial Accrued Liability The portion of benefits deemed to be accrued by participants based on
(AAL): past service. The AAL serves as the asset funding target, when annual
contributions are determined.
Actuarial Value of Assets (AVA): The smoothed value of assets, used to compute the Unfunded AAL.
The purpose of the AVA is to control volatility in annual cash
contributions.
Amortization of Unfunded The portion of the annual cash contribution that represents a portion
Liability: of the Unfunded AAL. The amortization can be positive or negative.
Actuarially Determined The contribution determined by the actuary for funding purposes.
Employer Contribution (ADEQ
Market Value of Assets (MVA): The total value of Plan assets available to pay benefits.
Normal Cost: That portion of the annual contribution that represents one year's
accrual of benefits. In funding calculations, this is known as the
Service Cost.
Unfunded Actuarial Accrued The difference between the Actuarial Value of Assets and the Actuarial
Liability: Accrued Liability, used for funding purposes.

Appendix I: 20 Year Projection of Funding and Contributions
The graphs below show a projection of expected funding progress and City pension contributions to the
Fund. The actual funding progress and contributions over this time period will differ from what is shown
here, due to the actual experience of the Plan as well as changes in assumptions. However, we can see
that the Plan is on a path to decreasing the unfunded liability (top graph, red line) and improving the
funding ratio to 80% over 20 years. During this time, the City contribution rate is expected to remain
relatively level for 10 years, before gradually decreasing.

and decreasing each year until 15 years is reached.
(4) Fiscal year 2015 ADEC reflects changes made to assumed return and inflation from 7.8% and
