FISCAL IMPACT: As shown in the valuation, the result of the health plan changes described herein, if implemented, will create a $1.3 million or 0.14% decrease in the Actuarial Accrued Liability and a $140,000 or 0.16% decrease in the calculated Annual Required Contribution. BACKGROUND: At its meeting on September 9, the Board of Supervisors accepted an actuarial valuation of future annual costs of negotiated and proposed changes to Other Post Employment Benefits, as provided by the County Actuary in a letter dated September 2, 2014. The Board of Supervisors was informed that Government Code, Section 7507 requires with regard to local legislative boards, that the future costs of changes in retirement benefits or other post employment benefits as determined by the actuary, shall be made public at a public meeting at least two weeks prior to the adoption of any changes in public retirement plan benefits or other post employment benefits. The September 2, 2014 report fulfilled that requirement.

The proposed benefit change would apply to all DAIA employees and retirees. The purpose of this analysis is to estimate the change in the County’s long-term other postemployment liability under GASB 45 (comparison of the present value of benefits, actuarial accrued liability, normal cost, annual required contribution, and projected benefit payments is shown before and after the proposed change) to comply with California Government Code Section 7507. Current Plan Currently, for eligible retirees from bargaining unit XJ, the County will pay a subsidy toward the cost of monthly premiums (medical and dental) in 2014 that is an amount equal to the actual dollar monthly premium amount paid by the County in 2013, depending on coverage tier. For 2014 and later, the County subsidy will increase by 75% of the actual premium increase in Bay Area Kaiser rates. For retirees enrolled in a health plan from CalPERS, the County will subsidize an amount equal to 78% of the monthly dental premium. For retirees who elect dental coverage without medical coverage, the County will subsidize an amount toward the monthly dental premium such that the retiree will pay one cent ($0.01) per month for such coverage. Proposed Plan County Premium Subsidy on or after January 1, 2015: For the plan year that begins on January 1, 2015, the County will pay the following monthly medical premium subsidy: Coverage Monthly Premium Subsidy Employee/Retiree/Survivor Only $ 608.87 Employee/Retiree/Survivor & One Dependent 1,217.74 Employee/Retiree/Survivor & Two or more Dependents 1,583.07 Lisa Driscoll September 2, 2014 Page 2 This work product was prepared solely for the Contra Costa County for the purposes described herein and may not be appropriate to use for other purposes.

Milliman recommends that third parties hire their own actuary or other qualified professional when reviewing Milliman work product. Milliman In addition, if there is an increase in the monthly premium charged by a health plan for 2015 that exceeds the above stated amounts, the County and the retiree will each pay fifty percent (50%) of that increase. For each calendar year thereafter, the County and the retiree will each pay fifty percent (50%) of any premium increase for each health plan. For the plan year that begins on January 1, 2015, the County will pay the following monthly dental premium subsidy: With Health Without Health Coverage Delta Dental DeltaCare (PMI) Delta Dental DeltaCare (PMI) Single $ 32.69 $ 22.30 $ 42.44 $ 28.91 Family 73.64 48.19 95.62 61.49 In addition, if there is an increase in the monthly premium charged by a health plan for 2015 that exceeds the above stated amounts, the County and the retiree will each pay fifty percent (50%) of that increase. For each calendar year thereafter, the County and the retiree will each pay fifty percent (50%) of any premium increase for each dental plan.

Milliman does not intend to benefit and assumes no duty or liability to other parties who receive this work. Milliman recommends that third parties hire their own actuary or other qualified professional when reviewing Milliman work product. Milliman The Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL) is the present value of benefits that are attributed to past service only. The portion attributed to future employee service is excluded. For retirees, this is equal to the present value of benefits. For active employees, this is equal to the present value of benefits prorated by service to date over service at the expected retirement age. The Normal Cost is that portion of the County provided benefit attributable to employee service in the current year. Employees are assumed to have an equal portion of the present value of benefits attributed to each year of service from date of hire to expected retirement age. The Annual Required Contribution (ARC) is equal to the Normal Cost plus an amount to amortize the unfunded AAL as a level dollar amount over a period of 30 years on a “closed” basis starting January 1, 2008. There are 24 years remaining as of January 1, 2014. The table below contains a 25 year projection of projected benefit payments under the current and proposed benefit plans. The projected benefit payments are net of required retiree contributions, but include the value of the implicit premium rate subsidy for non-Medicare retirees for whom the same premium rate is charged as for actives. The projected benefit payments include only employees and retirees as of the valuation date (January 1, 2014). Future employees are not reflected in the table below.

Milliman recommends that third parties hire their own actuary or other qualified professional when reviewing Milliman work product. Milliman Important Notes Except where noted above, the results in this letter are based on the same data, methods, assumptions, and plan provisions that are used in the January 1, 2014, actuarial valuation report, dated August 8, 2014. Appendices A through C contain a description of the current provisions assumptions and data used in the valuation. In preparing our report, we relied, without audit, on information (some oral and some in writing) supplied by Contra Costa County’s staff. This information includes but not limited to employee census data, financial information and plan provisions. While Milliman has not audited the financial and census data, they have been reviewed for reasonableness and are, in our opinion, sufficient and reliable for the purposes of our calculations. If any of this information as summarized in this report is inaccurate or incomplete, the results shown could be materially affected and this report may need to be revised. All costs, liabilities, rates of interest, and other factors for the County have been determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions and methods which are individually reasonable (taking into account the experience of the County and reasonable expectations); and which, in combination, offer our best estimate of anticipated experience affecting the County. Further, in our opinion, each actuarial assumption used is reasonably related to the experience of the Plan and to reasonable expectations which, in combination, represent our best estimate of anticipated experience for the County. This analysis is only an estimate of the Plan’s financial condition as of a single date. It can neither predict the Plan’s future condition nor guarantee future financial soundness. Actuarial valuations do not affect the ultimate cost of Plan benefits, only the timing of County contributions. While the valuation is based on an array of individually reasonable assumptions, other assumption sets may also be reasonable and valuation results based on those assumptions would be different. No one set of assumptions is uniquely correct. Determining results using alternative assumptions is outside the scope of our engagement. 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); and changes in plan provisions or applicable law. Due to the limited scope of our assignment, we did not perform an analysis of the potential range of future measurements. The County has the final decision regarding the appropriateness of the assumptions and actuarial cost methods. This letter is prepared solely for the internal business use of Contra Costa County.

Actuarial Cost Method and Assumptions The actuarial cost method used for determining the benefit obligations is the Projected Unit Credit Cost Method. Under this method, the actuarial present value of projected benefits is the value of benefits expected to be paid for current actives and eligible retirees and is calculated based on the assumptions and census data described in this report. The Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL) is the actuarial present value of benefits attributed to employee service rendered prior to the valuation date. The AAL equals the present value of benefits multiplied by a fraction equal to service to date over service at expected retirement. The Normal Cost is the actuarial present value of benefits attributed to one year of service. This equals the present value of benefits divided by service at expected retirement. Since retirees are not accruing any more service, their normal cost is zero. The actuarial value of assets is equal to the market value of assets as of the valuation date. In determining the Annual Required Contribution, the Unfunded AAL is amortized as a level dollar amount over 30 years on a “closed” basis. There are 24 years remaining in the amortization period as of January 1, 2014. The actuarial assumptions are summarized below. Economic Assumptions Discount Rate (Liabilities) 5.70% We have used a discount rate of 5.70% in this valuation to reflect the County’s current policy of partially funding its OPEB liabilities. This rate is derived based on the fund’s investment policy, level of partial funding, and includes a 2.50% long-term inflation assumption. County OPEB Irrevocable Trust assets are invested in the Public Agency Retirement Services’ Highmark Portfolio. Based on the portfolio’s target allocation (shown below), the average return of Trust assets over the next 30 years is expected to be 6.25%, which would be an appropriate discount rate if the County’s annual contribution is equal to the ARC. If the County were to elect not to fund any amount to a Trust, the discount rate would be based on the expected return of the County’s general fund (we have assumed a long term return of 3.50% for the County’s general fund). Since the County is partially funding the Trust with a contribution of $20 million per year, we used a blended discount rate of 5.70%. Asset Class Expected 1-Year Nominal Return Targeted Asset Allocation Domestic Equity Large Cap 8.14% 17.0% Domestic Equity Mid Cap 8.92% 6.0% Domestic Equity Small Cap 9.90% 8.0% U.S. Fixed Income 4.69% 38.0% International / Global Equity (Developed) 8.56% 16.0% Real Estate 8.12% 4.0% Cash 3.01% 1.0% Alternatives 5.71% 10.0% Expected Geometric Median Annual Return (30 years) 6.25% Contra Costa County GASB 45 Actuarial Valuation as of January 1, 2014 11 This work product was prepared solely for the Contra Costa County for the purposes described herein and may not be appropriate to use for other purposes.

For new retirees who were members of certain bargaining units indicated in appendix A and hired after a certain date indicated (eligible retirees must pay entire cost of premium to maintain coverage), we have assumed 50% will elect medical and dental coverage at retirement. Spouse Coverage – We have assumed 50% of new retirees electing coverage will elect spouse medical and dental coverage at retirement. Spouse Age – Female spouses are assumed to be three years younger than male spouses. Dependent Coverage – We have assumed 30% of retirees with no spouse coverage will elect coverage for a dependent child until age 65, and 50% of retirees with spouse coverage will elect coverage for a dependent child until age 65. Health Plan Election – We have assumed that new retirees will remain enrolled in the same plan they were enrolled in as actives. For actives who waived coverage, we have assumed that they will elect Kaiser plan coverage.

Milliman Milliman Client Report APPENDICES Valuation of Retiree Premium Subsidy Due to Active Health Costs The County and California PERS (PEMHCA) health plans charge the same premiums for retirees who are not yet eligible for Medicare as for active employees. Therefore, the retiree premium rates are being subsidized by the inclusion of active lives in setting rates. (Premiums calculated only based on retiree health claims experience would have resulted in higher retiree premiums.) GASB 45 requires that the value of this subsidy be recognized as a liability in valuations of OPEB costs. To account for the fact that per member health costs vary depending on age (higher health costs at older ages), we calculated equivalent per member per month (PMPM) costs that vary by age based on the age distribution of covered members, and based on relative cost factors by age. The relative cost factors were developed from the Milliman Health Cost GuidelinesTM. Based on the carrier premium rates and relative age cost factors assumptions, we developed age adjusted monthly PMPM health costs for 2014 to be used in valuing the implicit rate subsidy. The following tables show the age adjusted expected monthly claims cost for a male participant at age 64 for each health plan and relative age factors compared to a male age 64. Plan Monthly Age Adjusted Claims Cost for Age 64 Male Dependent Child Cost Load CCHP A $ 1,164 $ 157 CCHP B 1,431 329 Kaiser A 1,384 246 Kaiser B 1,278 264 Health Net HMO A 1,878 394 Health Net HMO B 1,621 369 Health Net PPO 1,903 316 California PERS Plans (average) 1,100 219 Relative Claims Cost Factor Compared to Male age 64 Age Male Female 50 0.458 0.572 55 0.604 0.668 60 0.786 0.789 64 1.000 0.915 Since retirees eligible for Medicare (age 65 and beyond) are enrolled in Medicare supplemental plans, the premiums for retirees with Medicare are determined without regard to active employee claims experience and no such subsidy exists for this group for medical cost.

Milliman Milliman Client Report APPENDICES Medical Cost Inflation Assumption We assumed future increases to the health costs and premiums are based on the “Getzen” model published by the Society of Actuaries for purposes of evaluating long term medical trend. Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, a Federal excise tax will apply for high cost health plans beginning in 2018.
