ACORD 25(2014101) The ACORD name and logo are registered marks of ACORD EXHIBIT B Summary of Work Plan The following objectives were specified in the Request for Proposal ("RFP') letter from the City: 1. Evaluate options to move new General employees to a cash-balance, hybrid, or statewide municipal plan. a. Consider comparative data to ensure plan design achieves portability and recruitment/ retention competitiveness b. Evaluate annual employer cost to support new plan over a 30-pear horizon c. Meet with Texas Municipal Retirement System to identify migration plan and/ or legislative changes and cost scenarios required to join d. Confirm actuarial analysis of impact to legacy plan(s) and resources required to maintain or improve funded status. 2. Analyze pros and cons of separating legacy plan among employee groups, resulting fund metrics and the cost to restore funding soundness. 3. Conduct data match to Fund's December 31, 2016 valuation when available to confirm scenario analysis. 4. Evaluate options for combinations of contribution increases /benefit decreases for members of legacy plan(s). Specifically, appropriateness of contribution increases for newer members with a lower normal cost should be considered. Both benefit and contribution levels should be considered in the context of employee recruitment and retention. Contractor and any Affiliates or subcontractor will conduct the following series of activities in order to address the above objectives for the City of Fort Forth. The activities are described sequentially and do not necessarily follow the order of the objectives, but fully address them. Task 1: Project Kick-Off and Data Collection The first step would be a series of meetings with the key project leaders designated by the City's staff to discuss the project,goals and expectations,key contacts,and results of past reform efforts. During the course of these meetings,Contractor and any Affiliates would finalize a data request for the City, the Fund,and the actuaries.The data request will potentially include: • Recent actuarial valuation reports, Fund annual financial reports, experience studies, and any ad hoc plan design alternative or other costing studies prepared by the actuaries for the Plan (as well as the City's advisors). • Meeting minutes,work product summary, or other materials prepared by the City Manager's task force on pension reform • Recent City Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports ("CAFR'). • Annual budget documents or other budget reports containing information on the budgeted and actual employer contributions for pensions, in sufficient detail to track contributions by fund,employee group,plan, and year. Agreement for Consulting Seivice CFW7 and PFNI Entities Page 13 of 16 1 • Plan governing documents and statutes. • Written adopted funding policies,as available. • Detailed unpublished actuarial information maintained by the actuaries or to be generated from their models, such as projected cash flows, accrued liability, normal cost rates, etc. for each employee group and benefit Tier, segmented by active/inactive status and hire data/years of experience, as available. Contractor and any Affiliates anticipate an on-site visit to complete this task. At the City's option, we could expand the stakeholder outreach described in Task 7 to encompass additional engagement and background on priorities and objectives at the beginning of the project, but we did not include it as standard based on our interpretation of the City's scope.

DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (li is to seek authorization to engage PFM Group Consulting LLC, PFM Financial Management Advisors LLC, and PFM Asset Management LLC (collectively PFM) to provide benefit modeling and actuarial services necessary to evaluate benefit and funding options for City consideration. The City currently offers a defined-benefit retirement plan for employees with the plan being administered by the Fort Worth Employees' Retirement Fund (the Fund).

This M&C would authorize engagement of PFM to assist in evaluating a variety of retirement benefit options and to provide actuarial analysis of how various options would impact the Fund and the City's current and future operating budgets. TERM AND RENEWAL—The initial term of the Agreement will be for one year with four renewal options of one-year each.
