Changes due to individual salary increases that are more/less than the assumed 3.5%. 2. Changes due to investment losses are attributed to investment returns more/less than the assumed 7.5%. Some investment losses have been deferred and will not be reflected until future valuations. 3. Changes due to liability losses are mostly due to more retirements than expected. They also reflect changes in mortality, turnover and average age. 4. Changes due to retiree COLAs reflect the cost of ad hoc COLAs granted by the City. 5. Changes due to Mortality Assumption reflect the 7/1/2000 change to the GAM 1983 mortality table. 6. Changes due to Retirement Rate Assumption reflect the 7/1/2003 change to assume participants will retire earlier than previously assumed. 7. Changes due to gross payroll are due to the gross payroll increasing at a different rate than the assumed 3.5% annual increase in the amortization payment. 8. Contribution shortfall is attributed to the prior year contributions being of a lesser amount than what was projected in the last actuarial analysis. 9. Increase in normal cost rate attributed to premiums increasing at a higher rate than assumed. Source: Actuary Reports
