1 without plan amendments.
Actuarial Report: No changes can be made to bylaws without
completing an actuarial. The actuarial
IIis based on the current benefit level.
Alternative Benefit

potential change in benefits is reviewed
including the cost of such.

Reporting Form: Informational only.
1 BACKGROUND
II The history of benefit changes for our fire department is filled
with a number of relative intense Council meetings. During one of
those time frames, voluntary firefighters literally laid their
pagers on the Council table. St. Anthony currently is paying the

price for not being able to resolve a $20, 000 relief benefit
problem. Their full time department now costs that city
approximately $500, 000 more than the costs of operating a voluntary
department. As previous change requests have been quite painful,
the Council has asked the association not to make a request for
benefit changes more often than once every three years. The
current benefit level has been in effect for the past three years.
A change occurred in 1990 which was a non-monetary change. The
fallacy with the three year freezing is that the cost of living
cannot be similarly frozen. A 20%, 30% or even 40% increase in
benefit levels is typically justified. However, during a time
frame when all other departments have been asked to keep increases
to a relatively minor percent, funding of a 30% or 40% increase can
become difficult.
[Note: By this point in the memorandum, Council members must be
saying--"Why didn't someone tell me about this before I ran for
office? Assuredly we are going to go to war with the fire
department and my house will be torched. " To relieve the suspense,
you should know that:
The firemen have been very reasonable in their request
for benefit changes; and
- Although general state aids have been cut significantly,
fire aids have significantly increased; and
r - No property tax increase will be necessary to fund the
proposed changes; and
- War need not be declared. ]
CURRENT REQUESTS
The primary change being requested (most costly) is increasing the
retirement benefit by $2 . 00 per month per year of service. This
represents an approximate 13.5% increase over the previous plan.
The proposed changes also include eliminating death benefits for
retired firefighters, while adding a $2, 000 lump sum benefit for
active members. The total yearly contribution cost associated with
' the changes rises from $32,190 to $44,814. This cost is totally
offset via increases in state aids from approximately $20, 000 to
$33, 000 in 1991. Earlier in this agenda, the Council considered
I funding for the Fire Relief Association as a part of the 1992
budget. Included in the 1992 budget is the $44,814 currently being
requested. In analyzing the revenue/expense of that account, the
' Council may be lead to believe that the property tax level could
actually be decreased for 1992 and still provide full funding for
the fire department. I would strongly recommend that the Council
not fall into this trap as the actuarial report is based upon the
I
I

current level of membership. Should the department be able to
reach its fully authorized number of firefighters, costs of funding
benefits will rise $15,000 to $20,000 per year. It is important
not to place a future council into a position of having to declare
war.
SUMMARY I
The Mayor and I have continued to meet with the fire department
throughout the course of the past six months as each of the above
documents were initiated and completed--such paving the way to the 1/
next step. Although it may look as though the fire department is
requesting the most expensive of all options considered, let me
assure you that such is not the case. In voting on benefit changes I
to be analyzed as a part of the actuarial process, numerous
proposals were rejected from being considered simply because of the
known cost implications of such. The meetings terminated with a
meeting between the Association and the Mayor this past week at
which time the Mayor restated his appreciation for the process that
the firefighters had agreed to and their desire to do their part in
ensuring that "a no property tax increase position" could be
considered as a part of the 1992 budget.
Approval of the proposed bylaws, with the amendments outlined, is
recommended.

' I have examined the accompanying combined balance sheet of the
Chanhassen Firefighters Relief Association at December 31, 1990,
and the related statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in
fund balance, and changes in financial position for the year ended
December 31, 1990. My examination was made in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards and accordingly, included
such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing
procedures as I considered necessary in the circumstances.
' In my opinion, the statements mentioned above present fairly the
financial position of the Chanhassen Firefighters Relief
Association at December 31, 1990, and the results of operations and
changes in financial position for the year ended December 31, 1990,
' in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied
on a consistent basis during the period.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies I
a. Fund Accounting
The resources of the Association are accounted for in two funds: 11
The Special Fund is a pension trust fund for the accumulation ofil
resources to be used for retirement, dependency and disability
annuity payments of appropriate amounts and at appropriate times
in the future. Resources are contributed by the City of Chanhassen -
at amounts determined by law, and from the two-percent insurance "
premium tax and amortization aid from the State of Minnesota.
The General Fund is a governmental fund which accounts for the
resources other than those in the Special Pension Trust Fund. It
is used for the good and benefit of the Association as determined
by Association by-laws. Its resources consist of payment for fire
calls from the City of Chanhassen, fund-raiser proceeds, investment "
earnings and miscellaneous sources.
b. Basis of Accounting ,
The. accounting policies of the Chanhassen Firefighters Relief
Association conform to generally accepted accounting principles. The
accrual basis of accounting is used for the Special Fund, and the ,
modified accrual basis of accounting is used for the General Fund.
General Fund - The modified accrual basis of accounting is followed
for the General Fund of the Association. Under this method of
accounting, revenues are recognized when received in cash, except
for revenues of a material amount that have not been received at il
the normal time of receipt and revenues susceptible to accrual.
Revenues considered susceptible to accrual are those revenues that
are both measurable and available to finance the Association's
operations during the year. Expenditures are reported when the ,
related liability is incurred.
Special Fund - The accrual basis of accounting is followed for the
Special Fund of the Association. Under this method, revenues are ,
recognized in the accounting period in which they are earned and
become measurable. Expenses are recognized in the period incurred,
if measurable, except for future pension costs which are computed
periodically in accordance with State requirements.
c. Investments I
Interest income is recognized when earned and dividend income is
recognized when received. Investments are stated at lower of cost or "
market.
d. Total Column on Combined Balance Sheet
The total column on the combined balance sheet is captioned "
"memorandum only" to indicate that it is presented only to facilitate
financial analysis. Data in this column does not present financial II
position in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. •

4. Loans to Members/Pension Payments - General Fund
After five years of service relief association members are entitled
to borrow funds from the General Fund based upon their pro-rated share
I of the General Fund. The pro-rated share is determined by the members
months of service. Repayment terms allow for the payment of principal
and interest, or if a member chooses only interest on the loan need
1 be repaid. Any member resigning after five years of service is
entitled to receive as a pension their pro-rated share less any
outstanding loans.

INTRODUCTION
I
We present in this report the results of the actuarial valuation
as of January 1, 1991 for the Chanhassen Fire Department Relief
Association.
This report is divided into sections which:
11 o Show the plans current financial and actuarial status.
o Develop contribution requirements for 1991.
o Supply information required for financial statement
disclosures.
o Provide projections of benefits for individual
' participants.
The principal results of the valuation are summarized and
' compared to prior results on page 1.
This valuation is based on census data and asset information
furnished by the Association. To the best of our knowledge this
' report presents fairly the actuarial condition of said Plan as of
January 1, 1991. The investment return assumption and actuarial
cost method are legislated in the Minnesota State Statutes. It
' is our opinion that the actuarial assumptions used herein are
reasonable in the aggregate.

The contribution level for any given year is a combination
of the normal cost for that year and an amount to reduce the
unfunded actuarial liabilities. The Unfunded Actuarial
Liability established January 1, 1988 was being amortized
over 20 years. Thus, the remaining Unfunded Actuarial
Liability as of January 1, 1991 will be amortized over 17
years. The contribution needed to accomplish this is shown

IV. Financial Statement Disclosures
In November of 1986, the Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB) issued its Statement No. 5. This statement
establishes standards for disclosure of pension information'
' by state and local governmental employers in notes to
financial statements. It also requires the computation and
disclosure of a standardized measure called "Pension Benefit
' Obligation". This measure is the actuarial present value of
credited projected benefits, prorated on service. In other
words, it is the value of all future expected benefits that
can be attributed to service earned to date. This differs
' from the measure that was produced by the actuarial funding
method used to determine contribution requirements.

Dear Jerry:
' Enclosed is a chart that details the cost impact of several
proposed benefit improvements.
' With no other changes, an increase in monthly benefits of $2.00
per year of service (from $11.40 to $13.40) reduces the funded
percentage to 80%. A $.50 increase to $11.90 reduces the funded
I -percentage to 90%.
In the last column, we looked at combining the other proposed
' changes with a monthly benefit increase. In this case, an
increase of $1.60 (to $13.00) results in a 80% funded percentage.
Please feel free to call if you have any questions. I would be
' more than- happy to attend your next meeting if you would like to
discuss things further.
Sincerely,
