S taff rec o mmend s that the Bo ard of Direc tors autho rize the G eneral Manager/C EO and the C hief F inanc ial
O fficer (C F O ) to b ud get Additio nal Disc retionary P ayments in ac cordanc e with a 15-year level pay

B AC KGR O UN D / AN ALYS IS :
In August 1972, Eas t Valley Water Dis trict entered into a contrac t to offer its permanent emp lo yees a d efined
b enefit p ens ion p lan ad ministered b y the C alifo rnia P ub lic Emplo yees’ R etirement S ys tem (C alP ER S or
P E R S ).
S inc e that d ate, the District has faithfully paid all req uired c o ntrib utions into the pension plan, and eac h year
P E R S pro vides an ac tuarial valuation repo rt to d is c los e 1) the District’s required p ens ion contributio ns fo r the
upc o ming fisc al year, and 2) the p lan’s funded s tatus. F und ed s tatus refers to the ratio o f investment as s ets
available to pay pens ion o b ligations , to the acc rued liab ility (AL) fo r b enefits. Any s hortfall in the availability of
as s ets to c o ver the acc rued liab ility is referred to as the Unfunded Acc rued Liability (UAL).
T he ec o no mic d o wnturn in 2009 led to s ignific ant inves tment lo s s es fo r the P ER S inves tment portfo lio, whic h in
turn caus ed the funded status for the Dis tric t’s P ER S pens io n to fall to 57.21%. S inc e then the funded status for
the plan has wavered b etween 70% and 79%, never fully recovering fro m the losses in 2009.
In additio n, ac tio ns taken b y the C alP ER S Bo ard to make ac tuarial as s umptio ns mo re c o ns ervative have als o
imp acted the UAL. F or examp le, in Dec emb er 2016 the Board acted to red uc e the Dis c ount R ate us ed
(as s umed R eturn on Inves tments ) from 7.5% to 7.0%. P has ed in over three years , this ac tion adversely affec ted
actuarial valuatio ns fo r June 2016, 2017, and 2018, increasing the Dis tric t’s UAL by nearly $3 millio n and
req uiring inc reas ed contributio ns for seven years b eginning in 2018-19. As of June 30, 2018, the Dis tric t’s
p ension plan was 71.23% funded with an Unfunded Ac c rued Liab ility o f $11.6 million.
It is important to think of the UAL as long-term debt b earing an interes t rate o f 7% (the P ER S as s umed return

It is important to think of the UAL as long-term debt b earing an interes t rate o f 7% (the P ER S as s umed return
o n inves tments). T his eas ily makes it the most expensive d eb t p ublic agenc ies are c arrying, and the debt that
s hould b e ad d ressed first when c o ns id ering p aying down deb t. P E R S fully s upports member agenc ies trying to
p ay do wn their UALs b y p res enting c o mp lete, 26-year amo rtizatio n s ched ules in annual valuation reports . As of
June 2018, the District’s 26-year s c hedule totals $21,076,525, inc lud ing $10,091,525 in interes t. P ER S als o
p res ents alternative paydown sc hedules in the valuatio n reports, inc luding a 15-year sc hedule and a 10-year
s ched ule. T he c o ntributions in the alternative sc hedules are signific antly higher and continue to increas e eac h year
o ver the p erio d of amortization, but the es timated interes t s avings c o mpared to the 26-year s c hedule are
$2,667,771 and $5,548,268, res pectively.
S taff als o req ues ted that P ER S c alculate fo r E VW D a 15-year amo rtizatio n s ched ule with level p ayments , rather
than increas ing p ayments . W hile s uc h a sc hedule wo uld require higher p ayments in years 1 thro ugh 5, interes t
s aved after 15 years wo uld b e $3,586,870, an ad d itional $919,099 in interes t savings c o mp ared to the standard
15-year o ptio n p res ented b y P ER S .
Many agenc ies are utilizing I R C S ec tio n 115 Trusts as a vehicle to prefund c o ntrib utio ns – b o th for pens io ns
and O ther P o s t-Emp lo yment Benefits . T hes e trus ts are irrevo cable, s o as s ets held in the trus ts are earmarked for
p aying post-emp loyment b enefits , yet the agenc y has more flexib ility and investment o p tions in order to purs ue
higher returns, and als o remains in control o f when contributio ns are actually sub mitted to C alP ER S . C urrently
PAR S (P ublic Agency R etirement S ervic es ) o ffers the mo s t wid ely used S ec tion 115 Trust s ervic es , but
C alP ER S will als o soon b e o ffering S ec tion 115 Trust s ervic es , therefore staff would like to compare the
s ervic es offered by each before rec o mmending to the Bo ard setting up a S ec tion 115 Trus t fo r the District.
S taff rec o mmends that the Board autho rize the G eneral Manager/C E O and C hief F inancial O ffic er to b udget
Ad d itional Dis c retionary P ayments o n the District’s p ens ion UAL in acc o rd anc e with a 15-year, level p ay

Bec aus e the District does no t operate a well on the pro p erty and has no need to o p erate a well on the property,

CONCEPT: ALLUVIAL FAN
Alluvial fans are fan-shaped deposits
of sediment and rocks, that have
been transported by moving
water.
They are found at the base of
topographical features where a slope
transforms into a flat plain.
The alluvium (sediment) is larger and
coarser at the mouth or apex. As
the alluvial plain spreads, sediment
size decreases.

The Sterling Natural Resource Center is a wastewater
treatment facility that will be located in the City
of Highland by East Valley Water District to treat
wastewater generated within East Valley Water District’s
service area. The new treatment facility would produce
disinfected tertiary recycled water (Title 22 water
quality for unrestricted use). The treated water would be
discharged to replenish the Bunker Hill Groundwater Basin.
