issue. Please send written

change with the proposed policy language
was placed on the Board of Retirement

2014 for final adoption, however, this
matter was continued to April 21, 2014
so staff could gather more information for the
Board of Retirement to consider.

OCERS employs sound
funding policy
Several recent
media articles have focused attention on
OCERS funding levels and ability to pay
promised benefits. All current and
future retirees should be confident in
OCERS' ability to pay those promised
benefits. As of July 31, 2013, OCERS'
portfolio had more than $10.6 billion.
OCERS, and other public pension systems
in California, use widely accepted
guidelines for long term planning,
controlling costs, management of
investment risk as well as controlling
the volatility of employee and employer
contributions. OCERS' policy to amortize
its unfunded liability is in full
compliance with the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB). An
in-depth article on this topic will be
published in the October issue of At
Your Service which is mailed to all
OCERS members as well as posted on
OCERS' Web site. |
