JACKSONVILLE POLICE AND FIRE
PENSION FUND UPDATE
|
|
On Thursday afternoon February 28, 2019, PFPF officials joined the presidents of the Jacksonville Fraternal Order of Police and Jacksonville Association of Fire Fighters at PFPF headquarters to witness the transfer of $52,672,196.
Union control of these funds is pursuant to the February 8, 2017 collective bargaining agreements between the police and fire unions and the City of Jacksonville.
The purpose of the money is to provide funding for The Jacksonville Police Officers' and Fire Fighters’ Health Insurance Trust. FOP and IAFF have established the Health Insurance Trust for group health insurance benefits beginning on January 1, 2020 to active and retired bargaining unit members, including Pension Fund Members. Funding for the Health Insurance Trust will be used to pay reserve funds and reasonable administrative expenses of the trust.
Pictured from left to right are Steve Lundy, PFPF Asst. Plan Administrator, Chuck Hayes, PFPF Benefits Manager, Randy Wyse, President, IAFF, Tim Johnson, PFPF Executive Director, Steve Zona, President, FOP, and Kevin Grant, PFPF Finance Manager.

"Clean" Audit Reported to Trustees
|
|
The Police and Fire Pension Fund is independently audited each year. The Fund's independent auditor, Robert Lemmon of Carr, Riggs & Ingram presented the Fund's Fiscal Year 2018 audit at February's Board of Trustees meeting. Mr. Lemmon highlighted that this audit was very clean; there were no control deficiencies, no inappropriate policies, no disagreements, and no errors in any of the numbers presented. Please see some additional highlights from the Management's Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) portion of the audit below:
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
- The fiduciary net position of the Fund as of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, was $2,007,821,892. The fiduciary net position, which is held in trust for pension benefits, is available to meet the Fund's ongoing obligations to Fund participants and their beneficiaries.
- The net position represents an increase of $115,024,761 or 6.08%. The increase was largely a result of favorable investment returns available in the financial markets.
- The Fund's ongoing funding objective is to meet long-term benefit obligations through contributions, investment income, and the receipt of various revenues sources. As of September 30, 2018, the funded ratio for the Fund was approximately 48.48%, which compares to the September 30, 2017 funded ratio of 47.60%. In general, the current funded ratio indicates that for every dollar of benefits due, the Fund has approximately $.4848 of assets to cover it.
- Revenues (additions to the fiduciary net position) other than investment income for the 2018 fiscal year were $145,278,047, which comprises member and employer contributions of $132,327,613, and other additions of $12,649,183. This compares to revenues other than investment income in the amount of $210,269,881 in the prior fiscal year. The major contributing factor for this decrease was the actuarially determined minimum employer contribution for the current year which was significantly lower than for the 2017 fiscal year. For the 2017 fiscal year the minimum employer contribution was determined at $165,771,919 plus an additional supplemental payment of $10,000,000. For fiscal year 2018, the employer minimum required contribution was determined as $135,648,057 and no supplemental contribution was required. Also, out of the City's 2018 minimum required contribution amount, a total of $20,000,000 represented a release of funds from the Unfunded Actuarial Liability Reserve Account (UALPA) and accordingly, these are not presented as additions to the plan's fiduciary net position.
- Net investment income (part of additions to fiduciary net position) for the 2018 fiscal year was $156,141,557 compared to net investment income for $242,934,192 that was recorded in the prior fiscal year.
- Expenses (deductions in fiduciary net position) not related to investment activities for the 2018 fiscal year increased from $173,450,766 to $186,384,843 or approximately 7.46%.
