GERS, like most public sector plans, offers a defined benefit retirement plan, which provides its members with a guaranteed lifetime income benefit as well as certain benefits for designated beneficiaries upon the member's death. GERS also provides a disability retirement benefit for members who become permanently incapacitated while performing their usual and customary duties (whether the disability was caused or related to providing service or not), subject to certain eligibility requirements, as well as death benefits. GERS funding was provided by three sources: employer contributions, member contributions by certain active employees, and investment earnings. The active members no longer make contributions and employer contributions have not been required since 2003. The plan is over funded as of December 31, 2015.

Determinations for purposes other than meeting these requirements may be significantly different from the results contained in this report. The information presented in this report is based on: the actuarial assumptions included in this report; the plan pro\isions; participant information furnished to us by the Plan Administrator, asset information furnished to us by the Plan Trustee. We have re\iewed the prolided data for reasonableness when compared to prior information pro\ided, but have not audited the data. Where relevant data may be missing, we may have made assumptions we believe are reasonable for the purpose of the measurement. We are not aware of any significant issues with and have relied on the data prolided. Any errors in the data pro\ided may result in a different result than those prolided in this report. The interest rate, other economic assumptions, and demographic assumptions have been selected by the plan sponsor with our recommendations. The assumptions used, in our opinion, are reasonable and represent a reasonable expectation of future experience under the plan. All calculations have been made in accordance with generally accepted actuarial principles and practice. A summary of any assumptions not included in this report, the plan prolisions and the participant information is included in the Actuarial Valuation Report for funding purposes. Future actuarial measurements may differ significantly from the current measurements presented in this report due to such factors as the following plan experience differing from that anticipated by the economic or demographic assumptions; changes in economic or demographic assumptions; increases or decreases expected as part of the natural operation of the methodology used for these measurements (such as the end of an amortization period or additional cost or contribution requirements based on the plan's funded status); and changes in plan prolisions or applicable law. We did not perform an analysis of the potential range of future measurements due to the limited scope of our engagement. 31 n~hart City of Pontiac General Employees' Retirement System GASB Nos. 67 & 68 Report as of Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2015 Actuarial Certification The undersigned are compliant with the continuing education requirements of the Qualification Standards for Actuaries Issuing Statements of Actuarial Opinion in the United States.

These expected future real rates of return are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included in the pension plan's target asset allocation as of December 31, 2015 are summarized in the following table: Asset class Target allocation Long-term expected real rate of return Domestic Equities 55.0% 5.30% International Equities 15.0% 5.80% Fixed Income 25.0% 1.80"/o 5.0% 7.60% Cash 0.0% --- 0.00"/o Total 100.0% Alternatives Long-term expected rate of return is 7.50%. 12 I n~hart City of Pontiac General Employees' Retirement System GASB Nos. 67 & 68 Report as of Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2015 Discount Rate and Net Pension liability Sensitivity Discount rate The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.50%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined contribution rates and the member rate. Based on those assumptions, the pension plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benent payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan in>estments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability. Sensitivity of the net pension liability to changes in the discount rate The following presents the net pension liability, calculated using the discount rate of 7.50%, as well as what the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1-percentage-point lower (6.50%) or 1-percentage-point higher (8.50%) than the current rate: 1% Decrease (6.50%) Net pension liability 13 I $ (182,824,385) Current Discount Rate (7.50%) $ (206,777,072) 1% Increase (8.50%) $ (228,655,295) n':jhart City of Pontiac Generai Employees' Retirement System GASB Nos. 67 & 68 Report as of Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2015 Schedule of Contributions 2015 Actuarially determined contribution $ Contributions in relation to the actuarially determined contribution 0 2014 $ 0 0 2012 2013 $ 0 0 $ 0 2011 $ 0 0 0 0 Contribution deficiency (excess) $ 0 $ 0 $ 0 $ 0 $ 0 Covered-employee payroll $ 1,528,731 $ 1,478,241 $ 1,574,964 $ 2,742,912 $ 3,968,743 Contributions as a percentage of covered-employee payroll Actuarially determined contribution $ Contributions in relation to the actuarially determined contribution 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 0 $ 0 0 $ 0 0 $ 0 $ 0 0 0 0 Contribution deficiency (excess) $ 0 $ 0 $ 0 $ 0 $ 0 Covered-employee payroll $ 9,493,229 $ 12,553,146 $ 14,414,481 $ 13,559,473 $ 14,996,753 Contributions as a percentage of covered-employee payroll 141 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% n~hart City of Pontiac General Employees' Retirement System GASB Nos. 67 & 68 Report as of Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2015 Actuarial Assumptions for Total Pension Liability Actua ria I Cost Method Entry Age NormaL This method produces a normal cost as a le~.el percent of pay over the seruce life of each participant and the amortization of the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued liability (UAAL).
