CITY MANA GER 'S BRIEFING
RETIREE BENEFITS and UNFUNDED LIABILITIES
ITEM # 55468
1:30 P.M.
The City Manager advised the City staff has been discussing the new accounting standards effective
January 2007 for approximately the last year. These entail consequences to governments (both state and
local). Virginia Beach is the first City in Hampton Roads to discuss this issue in comprehensive terms.
The cost of benefits, as part of the total compensation package, is one of the large "budget drivers".
The City Manager introduced Susan Walston, Chief of Staff, to further review the "cost of benefits".
Mrs. Walston advised Retiree Benefits involve a broader context of total compensation. A competitive
total compensation package has proven to be critical to recruit and retain the quality work force
necessary to develop quality services to the community. Mrs. Walston advised there is also a changing
worliforce.
Patricia Phillips, Director of Finance, wished to create an awareness of financial issues. The
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) establishes the financial standards for government.
For comparison, the private side utilizes the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). GASB
Statement No. 45 is one other post employment benefits (Retire Health Care). This liability must be
recognized for Financial Statements dated June 30, 2008.
Retiree Benefits
Part of the total compensation package
Part of overall strategy to attract and retain a quality worliforce
Requirements in reporting retiree benefits
Reflect changes in worliforce demographics
Mrs. Phillips reiterated the purpose of today 's briefing to promote an awareness of financial issues

CITY MANA GER 'S BRIEFING
RETIREE BENEFITS and UNFUNDED LIABILITIES
ITEM # 55468 (Continued)
Upon retirement and until death, the employee will receive a certain amount of money each month,
regardless of the investment performance of the fund. These funds are guaranteed. Princess Anne County
joined the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) in 1958. The "old" City of Virginia Beach (prior to
merging with Princess Anne County) joined the VRS in 1960. With the merger, the 1963 Consolidation
Agreement moved forward the concept. The Virginia Retirement System (VRS) was established in the
1950's and evolved from the Teacher Retirement System established in 1908. Life Insurance, after
retirement, is double the reduced salary, but will remain after retirement. The retiree will be paid for a
maximum 400 hours of annual leave (normal rate of pay). Retirees are compensated for sick leave (at the
rate of $28. 00 per day (8 hours). There is no limit on the number ofhours.
Calculation of the Service
Retirement Benefit
Average Final Compensation (AFC) X 1.7% X Years of Service
*A 0.5%/month reduction is applied to the unreduced benefit for each of the
first sixty (60) months and 0.4% for any additional months short of meeting
age or service requirements for unreduced benefits.
Mrs. Phillips displayed charts titled; Virginia Beach Annual Contribution - VRS Pension and Life
Insurance, City Annual Pension Contribution, The increase in the Unfunded Pension Liability is
driving VRS rates up. The City is expected to pay Virginia Retirement System for FY 2007 - $51,211,000
(more than double $24,411,000 paid in FY 2004). Just between FY 2006 and FY 2007, there has been a
thirty-jive percent (35%) increase in the Virginia Retirement System. The employee does not make a
contribution to VRS (100% paid by the City). Concerning the City's Annual Pension Contribution,
effective July 1, 2006, the rate paid VRS is 18.3% of payroll. FY 2005 is the highest unfunded liability to
date at $237-MILLION. The annual contribution includes amortization of the unfunded liability.
Unfunded liability is really driving the cost of the Virginia Retirement System (VRS).
Causes of VRS Rate Increases
Increases in the unfunded liability caused by:
Increases in pay greater than assumptions - Assumption 3%
Lower than projected return on investments (2001-03) Assumption 7.5%
Increases in life expectancy; and therefore living longer in retirement
Younger retirement ages

Mrs. Phillips advised the next chart illustrates that 19% of all retirements in Virginia Beach in the 1992-
2004 time period were job-related disability. Mrs. Phillips cited the comparisons with other
municipalities:
Chesapeake
Hen rico
9%
8%
State employees hired since 1999 are in the Virginia Sickness and Disability Program instead of the
Virginia Retirement System Disability. Therefore, do not have the same type of disability utilized by
localities. The standard for disability is very broad in the VRS system. There is no distinction made as to
type of disability. Regardless of disability, the pension is the same. Mrs. Phillips categorized the
percentage of individuals under the job related disability retirement:
Police
Fire
Sheriff
All Other Departments
53.4%
11.4%
6.7%
28.5%
42.8% of Police retirements are job-related disability (1992-2005) 23.4% of the Fire retirements are job-
rated disability (1992-2005). The final determination concerning permission to retire with disability is
made by VRS.

ITEM # 55468 (Continued)
Cost of Disability Retirements as a
Percent of Total Retiree Retirements
35% retiree pension costs are for disability retirements
Compared to:
5.5%for VaLORS (prison guards, etc.)
12.5% for State Police
18.8% for Chesapeake
The main causes of Disability Retirements in Virginia Beach: back/shoulder, training, heart/lung. Some
job-related disabilities may be attributable to an aging worliforce. Most disability retirees are in their
late forties.
Retiree Health Insurance
All retirees eligible to continue on City plan up until the time they are eligible
for Medicare
City supplementfor those employed twenty-jive (25) years or more with the
City/School and retire (or retire on a job-related disability with jive (5) or more
years of City service).

Other Post-Employment Benejits (OPEB) are those the employee receives in

Will need to record a liability for the difference between PayGo and the

The existence of a large liability will adversely impact most governments'
credit rating and ability to issue debt if there is no plan to address same.

Council Lady McClanan inquired relative the localities which are not a part of the Virginia Retirement
System. Mrs. Phillips advised, if the locality is not a member of the Virginia Retirement System, then by
State law, the locality must have a comparable plan. The Benefits Executive Committee has been
workingfor several months to develop strategies to reduce or manage the cost. The State's retiree health
care liability is over $2-BILLlON.
Mrs. Phillips advised, under the Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) disability benefits, there is a $10,000
plus year supplement to pension. This benefit might be lost, if a non-LEO position were taken.
Next Steps
Develop basic principles to reflect our goals and to incentivize healthy behaviors
Improve internal management of disability issues
Develop a more stringent prevention program
Implement internal policies on return-to-work
Identify potential items for Legislative Package
Recommend JLARC do a comprehensive study of VRS benefits to include
law enforcement benefits disability provisions, return-to-work and
defined contribution plans
Continue staff review to address retiree health options and unfunded liability as part
of budget driver process
Councilman Diezel advised solutions need to be examined re the growth of the compensation package.
Councilman Diezel suggested, as an example, there is no reason the annual sick and annual leaves
could not be contributed to a retirement process as opposed to a cash payout. This is permissible to some
extent under Virginia Retirement System rules. Full duty or no duty could also be reviewed. In Fairfax, if
one retires on disability, it must be a catastrophic disability. By Code, Virginia Beach is able to define
our disability differently.
The City Manager advised as recently as 2001, the City was 100%funded in the retirement system. At
the present time, the City has a $237-MILLION liability.

EXHIBIT A-l
BOOKING - CATEGORIES OF EVENTS REQUIRIlNG CITY APPROVAL
Part of the consideration inherent to the City entering into this Agreement is the fact that
the Facility is a significant public community asset. It is imperative that programming at
the Facility upholds community standards and is balanced in substantially the manner
hereinafter provided. It is the stated goal of the parties hereto to each use their reasonable
efforts to cause the Facility's programming to be appropriate, decent and balanced so as
to ensure a reasonable blend of cultural experiences, recognizing and accepting the fact
that some (e.g., so called, "high arts") may not be as profitable as others (e.g.,
"contemporary pop music"). For purposes of this Agreement, "balance" shall mean a
reasonable assortment, in Manager's sole, but good faith judgment, of varied tastes of the
general population including, without limitation, classical, folk, jazz, soul, blues, rock
and roll, popular, country music, family shows and comedy. All events that are clearly
inappropriate for children shall be posted as such in advance of ticket sales.
I. Event categories requiring prior City approval:
1. Any co-promoted or in-house promoted events that place the City at
financial risk.
2. Any event which, in the professional opinion of Manager, possesses a
clear security risk to the City and/or its property, personnel and/or
immediate neighbors, as well as the Facility's ticket buyers.
3. Events whereby Manager is serving as the co-promoter or independently
as the third party promoter.
Given the nature of the industry, and the highly competitive event booking process, the
City agrees to provide Manager with its approval or rejection within two (2) business
days of any request for approval by Manager.
II. For clarification purposes, the parties agree that Manager may book events in the
following event categories without first obtaining the approval of the City (the
procedures for booking such events shall be as set forth in the Facility's booking
policy, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A):
1. Performing Arts and Theatrical Events
2. Community Events
3. Family Shows
4. Concerts
5. Meetings and Seminars
6. Banquets and other food functions.
7. Any of the categories in I above that Manager agrees to co-promote by
risking guaranteed rent only (percentage rent will still be charged).

11 WHEREAS, approximately 4500 Old Dominion University students
12 live in Virginia Beach;
13 WHEREAS, the taxpayers of Virginia Beach subsidize Virginia's

17
WHEREAS, the presence of a four-year campus will allow
18 Virginia Beach's young people an opportunity to earn their degrees
19 here, in their hometown;
20
WHEREAS, the presence of a four-year campus will increase
21 opportunities for adults to further their education, which will

Non Agenda Items
Leona Schuler, 2448 Rose Hall Drive, Phone: 481-5371, President of Trantwood Lake Corporation,
advised today was the first meeting with the City. Mrs. Schuler expressed concerns re the services of
the Beaches and Waterways Commission no longer being required. Mrs. Schuler displayed a poster
entitled Virginia Beach's "Little Dig" displaying employees of Public Works hand dredging a section
of Lake Trant..
Margaret Armstrong, 2308 Mossy Hollow Place, Phone: 496-2774, accompanied by Juel Loughney,
property owners on Lake Trant - Alignment G. A photograph displaying the Cove with dumped dredge
material forming a sandbar was distributed and is hereby made a part of the record. It has been
a year since the instance of illegal dumping.
James A. MacDonald, 1269 Mossy Oaks Court, Phone: 481-0886, distributed information entitled "Lake
Trant Dredging Project - Perspective of this resident ". Said information is hereby made a part of the
record. Mr. MacDonald purchased his property thirty (30) years ago. Of the original 158 feet of
waterfront, Mr. MacDonald has approximately 25 feet left at the start of the project last year.
Charles Meyer, Chief Operating Officer, advised the City Council requested the Beaches and Waterways
Commission evaluate the process and procedures re storm water improvement projects of this nature.
The suggestion was made to the Chair of the Beaches and Waterways Commission to defer their review
of Lake Trant until September in order for staff to complete their initial process. Public Works is
removing material from the Lake for the purpose of increasing storm water management capacity. The
City Attorney's office has contracted for outside engineering counsel to evaluate the performance of the
contractor. A plan has been prepared by Public Works and submitted to the Virginia Department of
Environmental Quality. Relative the poster distributed, the Public Works crew was picking up
"jloatables ", debris that was dislodged in the dredged process and jloated into some of the inlets.
Mark B. Gemender, Operations Engineer - Public Works, advised the design of the Lake Trant project
was purely a Storm Water Best Management Plan (BMP) Maintenance Project. Lake Trant is a privately
owned lake. Public Works, because of the strength of their design and methods used to determine
completion, was able to get the Contractor remobilized within two (2) months. The Contractor returned
to the site and re-dredged almost the entire lake. The contractor will again be remobilized to complete
areas of further concern. The original cost of dredging was approximately $1-MILLION. $720,000 has
been paid to the contractor.
The City Manager, City Attorney, Public Works, Chair of the Beaches and Waterways Commission and
a representative of Lake Trant shall meet and report to City Council by October relative a plan.
