This net position deficit is primarily due to the recording of the net <br />pension liability required by GASB Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting <br />for Pensions. The City will continue to make the required contributions each year based <br />on the 30 year CalPERS payment amortization schedule. As described in Note 11a Funding <br />Policy, in March 2018, the City established a Section 115 Pension Trust (Section 115 <br />Trust) with an initial contribution of $28.0 million. The fair value of the Section 115 Trust <br />at June 30, 2022, was $43.3 million. The City intends to use the Section 115 Trust to help <br />make future pension contributions under the following conditions: <br />o Annual CalPERS employer pension contribution rate increase (in dollars) is greater <br />than the growth rate of the City’s General Fund. <br />o The General Fund has a structural deficit that needs to be addressed <br />(i.e. non-discretionary expenditures exceed revenues). <br />o General Fund reserves have been used and need to be replenished in order to maintain <br />a reserve equal to 20 percent of General Fund expenditures. <br />o Paying off specific pension liabilities that will result in interest savings greater than <br />interest earnings on the Section 115 Trust. <br />The Retiree Insurance Reserve Internal Service Fund finished FY 2021/22 with a net <br />position deficit of $25,251,064 as shown in the Internal Service Funds Combining <br />Statement of Fund Net Position. This net position deficit is primarily due to the recording <br />of the net OPEB liability as a result of the implementation of GASB Statement No. 75, <br />Accounting and Financial Reporting for Post-employment Benefits Other Than <br />Pensions. As described in Note 12b Funding Policy, in April of 2011, the City <br />established an OPEB irrevocable Trust (OPEB Trust). The City has been annually <br />contributing to the OPEB Trust to pre-fund the City’s amortized 30-year unfunded OPEB <br />liability. As of June 30, 2022, the OPEB Trust had a balance of $82.0 million. The City <br />will use the OPEB Trust to fund future OPEB benefit payments. <br />94
