Post Employment Benefits, Continued <br />Net OPEB Liability <br />The Port's net OPEB liability was measured as of June 30, 2017 and the total OPEB liability used to <br />calculate the net OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation dated June 30,2017, based on <br />the following actuarial methods and assumptions: <br />Actuarial Assumption <br />Discount Rate <br />Inflation <br />Salary Increases <br />Investment Rate of Return <br />Mortality Rate (1) <br />Pre -Retirement Turnover (Z) <br />Healthcare Trend Rate <br />3.56% <br />2.75% per annum <br />Aggregate -3% <br />3.56% <br />Derived using CalPERS' Membership Data <br />for all funds <br />Derived using CalPERS' Membership Data <br />for all funds <br />6.0%-8.0% <br />Notes: <br />(1) Pre -retirement mortality information was derived from data collected during 1997 to 2011 CalPERS <br />Experience Study dated January 2014 and post-retirement mortality information was derived from the 2007to <br />2011 CalPERS Experience Study. The Experience Study Reports may be accessed on the CalPERS website <br />www.calpers.ca.gov under Forms and Publications <br />(2) The pre -retirement turnover information was developed based on CalPERS' specific data. For more details, <br />please referto the 2007to 2011 Experience Study Report. The Experience Study Report may be accessed on the <br />CalPERS website www.calpers.ca.gov under Forms and Publications. <br />Since the benefits are not funded, the discount rate is equal to the 20 -Year Bond Rate. The Port has <br />chosen to use the "Fidelity General Obligation AA Index" as its 20 -year bond rate. That Index was 2.92% <br />at June 30, 2016, and 3.56% at June 30, 2017. <br />Discount Rate <br />The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 3.56 percent. The projection of cash <br />flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that District contributions will be made at rates <br />equal to the actuarially determined contribution rates. Based on those assumptions, the OPEB plan's <br />fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected OPEB payments for current <br />active and inactive employees and beneficiaries. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on <br />OPEB plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total <br />OPEB liability. <br />78 284 <br />
