ACTUARIAL CERTIFICATION
This report documents the results of the Actuarial Valuation for the McHenry Police Pension Fund. The
information was prepared for use by the McHenry Police Pension Fund and the City of McHenry, Illinois
for determining the Recommended Contribution, under the selected Funding Policy and Statutory
Minimum guidelines, for the Contribution Year May 1, 2021 to April 30, 2022. It is not intended or
suitable for other purposes. Determinations for purposes other than the Employer’s Actuarial
Recommended Contribution may be significantly different from the results herein.
The results in this report are based on the census data and financial information submitted by the McHenry
Police Pension Fund, and may include results from the prior Actuary. We did not prepare the Actuarial
Valuations for the years prior to May 1, 2017. Those valuations were prepared by the prior Actuary whose
reports have been furnished to us, and our disclosures are based on those reports. An audit of the prior
Actuary’s results was not performed, but high-level reviews were completed for general reasonableness,
as appropriate, based on the purpose of this valuation. The accuracy of the results is dependent on the
precision and completeness of the underlying information.
In addition, the results of the Actuarial Valuation involve certain risks and uncertainty as they are based
on future assumptions, market conditions, and events that may never materialize as assumed. For this
reason, certain assumptions and future results may be materially different than those presented in this
report. See the Management Summary section of this report for a more detailed discussion of the Defined
Benefit Plan Risks, as well as the limitations of this Actuarial Valuation on assessing those risks. We are
not aware of any known events subsequent to the Actuarial Valuation Date, which are not reflected in this
report but should be valued, that may materially impact the results.
The valuation results summarized in this report involve actuarial calculations that require assumptions
about future events. The McHenry Police Pension Fund selected certain assumptions, while others were
the result of guidance and/or judgment from the Plan’s Actuary or Advisors. We believe that the
assumptions used in this valuation are reasonable and appropriate for the purposes for which they have
been used. The selected assumptions represent our best estimate of the anticipated long-term experience
of the Plan, and meet the guidelines set forth in the Actuarial Standards of Practice.

To the best of our knowledge, all calculations are in accordance with the applicable funding requirements,
and the procedures followed and presentation of results conform to generally accepted actuarial principles
and practices as prescribed by the Actuarial Standards Board. The undersigned consultants of Lauterbach
& Amen, LLP, with actuarial credentials, meet the Qualification Standards of the American Academy of
Actuaries to render this Actuarial Certification. There is no relationship between the McHenry Police
Pension Fund and Lauterbach & Amen, LLP that impairs our objectivity.

MANAGEMENT SUMMARY – COMMENTS AND ANALYSIS
Contribution Results
The Recommended Contribution is based on the selected Funding Policy and methods that are outlined in
the Actuarial Funding Policies section of this report.
The Illinois State Statutes for Pension Funds contain parameters that are used to determine the Statutory
Minimum Contribution to a public Pension Fund. Those parameters and the resulting Statutory Minimum
Contribution are found in the Illinois Statutory Minimum Contribution section of this report.
“Contribution Risk” is defined by the Actuarial Standards of Practice as the potential for actual future
contributions to deviate from expected future contributions. For example, when actual contributions are
not made in accordance to the Plan’s Funding Policy, or when future experience deviates materially from
assumed. While it is essential for the Actuary and Plan Sponsor to collaborate on implementing a sound
and financially feasible Funding Policy, it is important to note that the Actuary is not required, and is not
in the position to, evaluate the ability or willingness of the Plan Sponsor to make the Recommended
Contribution under the selected Funding Policy.
As a result, while Contribution Risk may be a significant source of risk for the Plan, this Actuarial
Valuation makes no attempt to assess the impact of future contributions falling short of those
recommended under the selected Funding Policy. Notwithstanding the above, see the Actuarial
Recommended Contribution – Reconciliation section of this report for the impact on the current
Recommended Contribution of any contribution shortfalls or excesses from the prior year.
Defined Benefit Plan Risks
Asset Growth:
Pension funding involves preparing Fund assets to pay for benefits when Members retire. During their
working careers, assets grow with contributions and investment earnings; and then, the Pension Fund
distributes assets in retirement. Based on the Plan’s current mix of Members and Funded Status, the Plan
should experience positive asset growth, on average, if the Recommended Contributions are made and
expected investment earnings come in. In the current year, the Fund asset growth was positive by
approximately $34,000,000.
Asset growth is important in the long-term. Long-term cash flow out of the Pension Fund is primarily
benefit payments, and expenses are a smaller portion. The Plan should monitor the impact of expected
benefit payments on future asset growth. We assess and project all future benefit payments as part of the
determination of liability. The assessment is made on all current Members of the Fund, both active and
inactive. For active Members, the assessment includes the probability that Members terminate or retire
and begin receiving benefits. In the next 5 years, benefit payments are anticipated to increase 35-40%, or
approximately $810,000. In the next 10 years, the expected increase in benefit payments is 85-90%, or
approximately $1,900,000. The estimated increase in benefit payments is being compared against the
benefits paid to inactive Members during the fiscal year, excluding any refunds of Member Contributions. DRAFT
MANAGEMENT SUMMARY
McHenry Police Pension Fund
Page 6
Furthermore, plans with a large number of inactive Members have an increased “Longevity Risk”.
Longevity Risk is the possibility that inactive Members may live longer than projected by the Plan’s
mortality assumption. As shown in the previous paragraph, benefit payments are expected to increase
over the next 5-year and 10-year horizons. The projected increases assume that current inactive Members
pass away according to the Plan’s mortality assumption. To the extent that current inactive Members live
longer than expected, the future 5-year and 10-year benefit projections may be larger than the amounts
disclosed in the previous paragraph. Higher levels of benefit payments, payable for a longer period of
time, may cause a significant strain to the Plan’s cash flow, future Recommended Contributions, and may
lead to Plan insolvency.
Unfunded Liability:
Unfunded Liability represents the financial shortfall of the Actuarial Value of Assets compared to the
Actuarial Accrued Liability. To the extent that Unfunded Liability exists, the Plan is losing potential
investment earnings due to the financial shortfall. Contributions towards Unfunded Liability pay for the
lost investment earnings, as well as the outstanding unfunded amount. If payments towards Unfunded
Liability are not made, the Unfunded Liability will grow.
In the early 1990s, many Pension Funds in Illinois adopted an increasing payment towards Unfunded
Liability due to a change in legislation. The initial payment decreased, and future payments are anticipated
to increase annually after that. In many situations, payments early on were less than the interest on
Unfunded Liability, which means that Unfunded Liability increased even though contributions were made
at the recommended level.
Actuarial Value of Assets:
The Pension Fund smooths asset returns that vary from expectations over a 5-year period. The intention
over time is that asset returns for purposes of funding recommendations are a combination of several years.
The impact is intended to smooth out the volatility of Recommended Contributions over time, but not
necessarily increase or decrease the level of contributions over the long-term.
When asset returns are smoothed, there are always gains or losses on the Market Value of Assets that are
going to be deferred for current funding purposes, and recognized in future years. Currently, the Pension
Fund is deferring approximately $4,200,000 in gains on the Market Value of Assets. These are asset gains
that will be recognized in upcoming periods, independent of the future performance of the Market Value
of Assets.
Cash Flow Risk:
Assets, liabilities, and Funded Status are good metrics to monitor over time to assess the progress of the
Funding Policy. However, these metrics may provide limited forward-looking insights. Specifically, the
maturity of a Pension Fund can pose certain risks that often cannot be assessed with a point-in-time metric
such as Percent Funded.
DRAFT
MANAGEMENT SUMMARY
McHenry Police Pension Fund
Page 7
For example, two different Pension Funds could have the same Percent Funded, but have completely
different risk profiles. One Fund might mostly cover active Members with little to no Members in pay
status, whereas a second Fund might mostly cover inactive Members with a significant level of annual
benefit payments. The latter Fund has a greater “Cash Flow Risk”, i.e. a more significant chance that
negative cash flows could lead to a deteriorating, rather than improving, Percent Funded over time.
It is important to note that, in general, positive net cash flows are good, but also need to be sufficient to
cover the growth in the liabilities (i.e. the Normal Cost as well as interest on the Actuarial Accrued
Liability). Typically, when cash flows are assumed to be insufficient to cover the growth in liabilities, the
Percent Funded will decline, while future Recommended Contributions will increase.
Benefit Payment Risk:
Ideally, plans in a sound financial position will have the ratio of annual benefits payments to the Market
Value of Assets to be less than the Expected Rate of Return on Investments assumption (i.e., 7.00%).
Theoretically, in this case it can be considered that investment returns will fully cover the annual benefit
payments, and therefore, all Employer and Member Contributions made to the Fund will be used to pay
for future benefit accruals and pay down the existing Unfunded Liability. To the extent that the ratio of
the annual benefit payments to the Market Value of Assets increases to above the Expected Rate of Return
on Investments assumption, the Plan may experience some additional risks, such as the need to keep assets
in more liquid investments, inability to pay down Unfunded Liability, and may lead to Plan insolvency.
As of the Valuation Date, the McHenry Police Pension Fund has a ratio of benefit payments to the Market
Value of Assets of 3.58%. In this case, the Plan is currently in a sound financial position and has a reduced
amount of Benefit Payment Risk and Cash Flow Risk. It would be expected that adherence to the current
Funding Policy would lead to an increasing Percent Funded.
Fund Assets
The results in this report are based on the assets held in the Pension Fund. Assets consist of funds held
for investment and for benefit payments as of the Actuarial Valuation Date. In addition, assets may be
adjusted for other events representing dollars that are reasonably expected to be paid out from the Pension
Fund or deposited into the Pension Fund after the Actuarial Valuation Date as well.
The current Fund assets are unaudited. As of the date of this report, the audit
of the Fund assets is not complete, not available, or has not been provided.
The current Fund assets are based on the year-end financials as prepared by the
Pension Fund Accountant. The year-end financials represent a full accrual
version of the fiduciary fund as of the end of the Fiscal Year, prepared in
preparation for the audit. The changes to the fund cash balance as of the Fiscal
Year End are non-cash items that can include accrued interest, due/unpaid
expenses, prepaids, and other adjustments.
The Fund
Assets Used in
this Report
are
Unaudited. DRAFT
MANAGEMENT SUMMARY
McHenry Police Pension Fund
Page 8
The Actuarial Value of Assets under the Funding Policy is equal to the Market Value of Assets, with
unexpected gains and losses smoothed over 5 years. More detail on the Actuarial Value of Assets can be
found in the Actuarial Funding Policies section of this report.
Demographic Data
Demographic factors can change from year to year within the Pension Fund. Changes in this category
include hiring new Members, Members retiring or becoming disabled, inactive Members passing away,
and other changes. Demographic changes can cause an actuarial gain (contribution that is less than
expected compared to the prior year) or an actuarial loss (contribution that is greater than expected
compared to the prior year).
Demographic gains and losses occur when the assumptions over the one-year period for Member changes
do not meet our long-term expectation. For example, if no Members become disabled during the year, we
would expect a liability gain. If more Members become disabled than anticipated during the year, we
would expect a liability loss. Generally, we expect short-term fluctuations in demographic experience to
create gains or losses of 1%-3% of the Actuarial Accrued Liability in any given year, but to balance out
in the long-term.
“Demographic Risk” occurs when Plan demographic experience differs significantly from expected.
Similar to Longevity Risk discussed previously, additional risk is created when demographic experience
differs from the assumed rates of disability, retirement, or termination. Under the chosen assumptions,
actuarial gains and/or losses will always occur, as the assumptions will never be exactly realized.
However, the magnitude of the gain and/or loss and its influence on the Recommended Contribution
largely depends on the size of the Plan.
Based on the number of active Members in the Plan, the Recommended Contribution has a moderate risk
of having a significant increase due to demographic experience. For example, 1 new disabled Member
would typically generate a substantial increase to the Actuarial Accrued Liability, which in turn, may
increase the Recommended Contribution.
In the current report, the key demographic changes were as follows:
New Hires: There were 4 Members of the Fund who were hired during the year. When a Member is
admitted to the Pension Fund, the Employer Contribution will increase to reflect the new Member. The
increase in the Recommended Contribution in the current year due to the new Member experience is
approximately $23,000.
Retirement: There was 1 Member of the Fund who retired during the year. When a Member retires, the
Normal Cost will decrease. Any change in the Actuarial Accrued Liability will be considered when
determining the amount to pay towards Unfunded Liability each year. The decrease in the Recommended
Contribution in the current year due to the retirement experience is approximately $3,000.
DRAFT
MANAGEMENT SUMMARY
McHenry Police Pension Fund
Page 9
Termination: There were 2 Members of the Fund who terminated employment during the year. The Fund
may be obligated to pay a benefit or a refund of Employee Contributions to the Members in the future.
The decrease in the Recommended Contribution in the current year due to the termination experience is
approximately $29,000.
Mortality: There was 1 surviving spouse who passed away during the year. When a retiree passes away,
the Fund liability will decrease as the Pension Fund no longer will make future payments to the retiree. If
there is an eligible surviving spouse, the Fund liability will increase to represent the value of the expected
payments that will be made to the spouse. When a surviving spouse passes away, the Fund liability will
decrease as the Pension Fund no longer will make future payments to the surviving spouse.
As inactive Members age and continue to collect benefits, the Fund liability will also increase. In the
current year, there were 31 inactive Members who maintained their benefit collection status throughout
the year. The net decrease in the Recommended Contribution in the current year due to the mortality
experience is approximately $6,000.
Salary Increases: Salary increases were less than anticipated in the current year. This caused a decrease
in the Recommended Contribution in the current year of approximately $14,000.
Assumption Changes
The assumptions were not changed from the prior valuation.
Funding Policy Changes
The Funding Policy was changed from the prior valuation. The payments towards Unfunded Liability in
the prior valuation were being amortized over a 20-year period as a level percentage of payroll. The current
Funding Policy features a layered amortization of changes in the Unfunded Liability, with the payments
towards Unfunded Liability being amortized over a 15-year period as a level percent of payroll. See the
Actuarial Funding Policies section of this report for more details on the current Funding Policy.
Additionally, at policy implementation, any reduction in the Recommended Contribution for negative
Unfunded Liability was ignored. This ensures that the Recommended Contribution will remain equal to
or greater than the Normal Cost each year. The current Funding Policy represents a better fit for the goals
of pension funding for all stakeholders. See the Recommended Contribution Detail section of this report
for further details. These Funding Policy changes caused an increase of approximately $76,000 in the
current Recommended Contribution.

Other Considerations
After careful consideration, we have elected to transition our client reporting to a new valuation platform.
Our new platform, ProVal, is an industry standard tool that encompasses a multitude of actuarial best
practices. The driving reason behind our decision to transition to this platform is that it will give us the
opportunity to provide additional capabilities to our clients in the near future, including stochastic
prediction modeling and sensitivity capabilities. Because this software has slightly different parameters
in the underlying coding, there may be a minor variation in actuarial calculations. These variations are
well within the acceptable ranges developed for actuarial standards. For example, a Pension Fund that is
100% funded in one software, may actually show as 98%-102% funded across different software
platforms. This is routine in nature and is a regular part of running estimates and projections. As we
strive for “best estimates” in the actuarial funding process, the best due diligence continues to be the
process of setting and reviewing assumptions in the actuarial profession. Our commitment to reviewing
new information regularly continues to be at the forefront of our reporting.
DRAFT
MANAGEMENT SUMMARY
McHenry Police Pension Fund
Page 11
ACTUARIAL RECOMMENDED CONTRIBUTION – RECONCILIATION
Actuarial Accrued Liability is expected to increase each year for both interest for the year and as active
Members earn additional service years towards retirement. Similarly, Actuarial Accrued Liability is
expected to decrease when the Fund pays benefits to inactive Members.
Contributions are expected to increase as expected pay increases under the Funding Policy for the Fund.
Other increases or decreases in Actuarial Accrued Liability (key changes noted below) will increase or
decrease the amount of Unfunded Liability in the Plan. To the extent that Unfunded Liability increases
or decreases unexpectedly, the contribution towards Unfunded Liability will also change unexpectedly.
*Impact on the Recommended Contribution due to asset return is on an Actuarial Value of Assets basis.
In the current valuation, we have updated the Actuarial Valuation software used to determine Actuarial
Liability. The Actuarial Experience can be attributable to several factors including Actuarial Valuation
software changes, demographic changes, and benefit payment experience compared to expectation.
Key demographic changes were discussed in the Demographic Data section of this report.

HISTORICAL ASSET PERFORMANCE
The chart below shows the historical Rates of Return on Investments for both Market Value of Assets and
Actuarial Value of Assets.
The historical Rates of Return on Investments shown above were calculated based on the annual Return
on Investments, as a percentage of the average value of the assets for the year.
For purposes of determining the average value of assets for the year, the ending Market Value of Assets
has been adjusted to net out to the portion related to the Return on Investments themselves. All other cash
flows are included.
For purposes of determining the annual Return on Investments we have adjusted the figures shown on the
preceding pages. The figures shown on the preceding pages are net of Investment Expenses. We have
made an additional adjustment to net out Administrative Expenses. Netting out Administrative Expenses
allows us to capture returns for the year that can be used to make benefit payments as part of the ongoing
actuarial process.
The adjustments we made are for actuarial reporting purposes only. By netting out Administrative
Expenses and capturing Return on Investments that are available to pay benefits, it provides us a
comparison to the Expected Rate of Return on Investments, but does not provide a figure that would be
consistent with the rates of return that are determined by other parties. Therefore, this calculated Return
on Investments should not be used to analyze investment performance of the Fund or the performance of
the investment professionals.

Expected Rate of Return on Investments Assumption
The Expected Rate of Return on Investments for this valuation is 7.00%. Lauterbach & Amen, LLP does
not provide investment advice. We look at a variety of factors when reviewing the Expected Rate of
Return on Investments assumption selected by the Board. These factors include: historical Rates of Return
on Investments, capital market projections performed by the Fund’s investment advisors, the Fund’s
investment policy, capital market forward-looking benchmark expected returns by independent
investment companies, rates used by comparable pension systems, and other factors identified in the
Actuarial Standards of Practice.
Generally speaking, the ideal assumption for Expected Rate of Return on Investments is one that has a
50% chance of being met over the long-term. If actual returns going forward come in less than expected,
the pension system risks deferring contributions to the future that should be made today, and creating
additional contribution volatility. Reducing the Expected Rate of Return on Investments by 25 basis points
produces a Recommended Contribution that is 42.33% higher than currently shown.
We recommend the Board review the Expected Rate of Return on Investments, and consider whether or
not the assumption is a reasonable representation of future expected asset returns, and review their options
prior to the completion of the next Actuarial Valuation.
“Investment Risk” is the potential that actual Return on Investments will be different from what is
expected. The selected Expected Rate of Return on Investments assumption is chosen to be a long-term
assumption, producing a return that, on average, would produce a stable rate of return over a long-term
horizon. Actual asset returns in the short-term may deviate from this long-term assumption due to current
market conditions. Furthermore, establishing the Expected Rate of Return on Investments assumption
may be dependent on the Illinois State Statutes pertaining to the limitations on types of investments Plan
Sponsors may use. If the actual annual rates of return are less than the Expected Rate of Return on
Investments, actuarial losses will be produced, thus increasing the Plan’s Unfunded Liability and,
subsequently, future Recommended Contributions.
“Asset/Liability Mismatch” risk is a similar concept as Investment Risk, as it relates to setting the
Expected Rate of Return on Investments assumption compared to the actual Return on Investments
achieved. The Interest Rate used to discount future Plan liabilities is set equal to the Expected Rate of
Return on Investments. It is expected that the selected Interest Rate be a rate that is reasonably expected
to be achieved over the long-term. To the extent that the selected Interest Rate to value Plan liabilities is
unreasonable, or significantly different than the actual Return on Investments earned over an extended
period of time, additional Interest Rate risk is created. For example, determining Plan liabilities at an
Interest Rate higher than what is expected to be achieved through investment returns results in Unfunded
Liability that is not a true representation of the Plan’s condition and Percent Funded. As a result, the
Actuarial Accrued Liability determined is an amount smaller than the liability that would be produced
with an Interest Rate more indicative of future Expected Rate of Return on Investments. Therefore, the
Recommended Contributions under the established Funding Policy may not be sufficient to appropriately
meet the true pension obligations. DRAFT

The Actuarial (Gain)/Loss can be attributable to several factors including Actuarial Valuation software
changes, demographic changes, Employer Contribution timing, Member Contribution experience, benefit
payment experience, and salary increase experience compared to expectation.
Due to the current percent funded being over 100%, we have decided to “Fresh Start” the calculation of
the Unfunded Liability by consolidating all of the historical sources of Unfunded Liability into a single
amount. In the determination of the Recommended Contribution, we will not recognize any contribution
credits for amortization of a negative Unfunded Liability.

to the benefit provisions and census data furnished, using the Actuarial Cost Method described. The
Actuarial Cost and Amortization Methods allocate the projected obligations of the Plan over the working
lifetimes of the Plan Members.
The Recommended Contribution amount shown in this report is based on the methods summarized above.
The Actuarial Funding Policies section of this report includes a more detailed description of the Actuarial
Funding Methods being used.
The Actuarial Funding Methods are meant to provide a systematic process for determining contributions
on an annual basis. The methods do not impact the expectation of future benefit payments. The methods
only impact the way contributions are made towards future benefit payments.
Different Actuarial Funding Methods may achieve funding goals with differing levels of success. Certain
methods are more efficient and more stable on an annual basis.

McHenry Police Pension Fund
Page 25
The Statutory Minimum Contribution is based on Actuarial Funding Methods and funding parameters in
the Illinois State Statutes for pension funding. The resulting contribution is lower than the Recommended
Contribution for the current year. The lower contribution amount is not recommended because it
represents only a deferral of contributions when compared to the Recommended Contribution method.
Actuarial Funding Methods for pensions are best applied to provide a balance between the long-term goals
of a variety of stakeholders:
1. Members – the Members are interested in benefit security and having the funds available to pay
benefits when retired
2. Employers – cost control and cost stability over the long-term
3. Taxpayers – paying for the services they are receiving from active Members
The Statutory Minimum Contribution methods are not intended to provide a better system in any of the
above categories long-term. The parameters are not recommended for a long-term funding strategy.
The Statutory Minimum methods put into place in 2011 were intended to provide short-term budget relief
for Employer Contributions. An Employer using the Statutory Minimum parameters for current funding
should view the contributions as short-term relief. Our recommendation in this situation is for a Pension
Fund and an Employer to work towards a long-term funding strategy that better achieves the long-term
funding goals, over a period that does not exceed 3-5 years.
The Securities and Exchange Commission in 2013 used the phrase “Statutory Underfunding” to describe
situations where contributions appear to be more manageable in the short-term, but set up future
Recommended Contributions that are less likely to be manageable.

ACTUARIAL COST METHOD
The Actuarial Cost Method allocates the projected obligations of the Plan over the working lifetimes of
the Plan Members.
In accordance with the Pension Fund’s Funding Policy the Actuarial Cost Method for the Recommended
Contribution basis is Entry Age Normal (Level Percent of Pay). The Entry Age Normal Cost Method is
a method under which the Actuarial Present Value of the projected benefits of each individual included in
an Actuarial Valuation is allocated on a level basis over the earnings or service of the individual between
entry age and assumed exit age. The portion of this Actuarial Present Value allocated to a valuation year
is called Normal Cost. The portion of the Actuarial Present Value not provided at an Actuarial Valuation
Date by the Actuarial Present Value of future Normal Costs is called the Actuarial Accrued Liability.
The Entry Age Normal method attempts to create a level cost pattern. In contrast to other Actuarial Cost
Methods which inherently lead to uneven or less predictable cost patterns, the Entry Age Normal method
is generally understood to be less risky in terms of contribution stability from year to year.
The Conference of Consulting Actuaries Public Plans Community produced a “white paper” detailing
Funding Policy model practices for public sector pension plans. Under the Level Cost Actuarial
Methodology (“LCAM”), one of the principal elements to a Funding Policy is the Actuarial Cost Method.
When deciding which Actuarial Cost Method to use, several objectives may be considered, such as the
following:
• Each Member’s benefit should be funded under a reasonable allocation method by the expected
retirement date
• Pay-related benefit costs should reflect anticipated pay at retirement
• The expected cost of each year of service (i.e. Normal Cost) for each active Member should be
reasonably related to the expected cost of that Member’s benefit
• The Member’s Normal Cost should emerge as a level percent of Member compensation
• No gains or losses should occur if all assumptions are met.
Following these criteria, the use of the Entry Age Normal Cost Method (Level Percent of Pay) is a model
practice.
FINANCING UNFUNDED ACTUARIAL ACCRUED LIABILITY
The Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability may be amortized over a period either in level dollar amounts
or as a level percentage of payroll.
When amortizing the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability as a level percentage of payroll, additional
risk is incurred since the amortization payments in the early years of the payment period may not be large
enough to cover the interest accrued on the existing Unfunded Liability. As a result, the Unfunded DRAFT
ACTUARIAL FUNDING POLICIES
McHenry Police Pension Fund
Page 31
Liability may increase initially, before the amortization payments grow large enough to cover all interest
accruals. Generally speaking, the Plan Sponsor will be required to contribute a larger total contribution
amount over the course of the funding period under a level percentage of payroll basis as compared to a
level dollar payroll schedule.
The Government Finance Officers Association notes that best practices in public pension finance include
utilizing amortization periods that do not exceed 20 years. Longer amortization periods elevate the risk
of failing to reduce any Unfunded Liability. For example, when the amortization payment in full only
covers interest on the Unfunded Liability, but does not reduce the existing Unfunded Liability, the required
contribution will increase in future years.
A second principal element under the Level Cost Actuarial Methodology described above is to establish
an Amortization Policy that determines the length of time and the structure of the increase or decrease in
contributions required to systematically fund the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability. When deciding
on the Amortization Policy, several objectives may be considered, such as the following:
• Variations in the source of liability changes (i.e. gains or losses, Plan changes, assumption
changes) should be funded over periods consistent with an appropriate balance between the policy
objectives of demographic matching and volatility management
• The cost changes in Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability should emerge as a level percentage of
Member compensation
The LCAM model practices for the Amortization Policy include the following:
• Layered fixed period amortization by source
• Level percent of pay amortization
• An amortization period ranging from 15-20 years for experience gains or losses
• An amortization period of 15-25 years for assumption changes
In accordance with the Pension Fund’s Funding Policy for the Recommended Contribution, the Unfunded
Actuarial Accrued Liability is amortized by level percent of payroll contributions to a 100% funding target
over a layered amortization period of 15 years. See the Actuarial Methods – Recommended Contribution
section of this report for more detail.
We believe that the amortization period is appropriate for the purposes of this valuation.

ACTUARIAL FUNDING POLICIES
McHenry Police Pension Fund

ACTUARIAL VALUE OF ASSETS
The Pension Fund is an ongoing plan. The Employer wishes to smooth the effect of volatility in the
Market Value of Assets on the annual contribution. Therefore, the Actuarial Value of Assets is equal to
the Market Value of Assets with unanticipated gains/losses recognized over a five-year period.
The Asset Valuation Method is intended to create an Actuarial Value of Assets that remains reasonable in
relation to the Market Value of Assets over time. The method produces results that can fall either above
or below the Market Value of Assets. The period of recognition is short.
It is intended that the period of recognition is short enough to keep the Actuarial Value of Assets within a
decent range of the Market Value of Assets. In the event that the Actuarial Value of Assets exceeds or
falls below a 10% corridor of the Market Value of Assets, the additional gain or loss will be recognized
immediately. DRAFT

NATURE OF ACTUARIAL CALCULATIONS
The results documented in this report are estimates based on data that may be imperfect and on
assumptions about future events. Certain Plan Provisions may be approximated or deemed immaterial,
and, therefore, are not valued. Assumptions may be made about census data or other factors. Reasonable
efforts were made in this valuation to ensure that significant items in the context of the Actuarial Accrued
Liability or costs are treated appropriately, and not excluded or included inappropriately.
Actual future experience will differ from the assumptions used in the calculations. As these differences
arise, the expense for accounting purposes will be adjusted in future valuations to reflect such actual
experience.
A range of results different from those presented in this report could be considered reasonable. The
numbers are not rounded, but this is for convenience only and should not imply precision which is not
inherent in actuarial calculations.
ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS IN THE VALUATION PROCESS
The contributions and benefit values of the Pension Fund are calculated by applying actuarial assumptions
to the benefit provisions and census data furnished, using the Actuarial Cost Method described in the
Actuarial Funding Policies section of this report.
The principal areas of financial risk which require assumptions about future experience are:
Expected Rate of Return on Investments
Patterns of Pay Increases for Members
Rates of Mortality Among Active and Inactive Members
Rates of Termination Among Active Members
Rates of Disability Among Active Members
Age Patterns of Actual Retirements
Actual experience of the Pension Fund will not coincide exactly with assumed experience. Each valuation
provides a complete recalculation of assumed future experience and takes into account all past differences
between assumed and actual experience. The result is a continual series of adjustments to the computed
Recommended Contribution.
Details behind the selection of the actuarial assumptions can be found in the Actuarial Assumption
Summary document provided to the client upon request. The client has reviewed and approved the
assumptions as a reasonable expectation of the future anticipated experience under the Plan.

ASSESSMENT OF RISK EXPOSURES
From time to time it becomes appropriate to modify one or more of the assumptions, to reflect experience
trends (but not random year-to-year fluctuations). In addition, Actuarial Standards of Practice require that
the Actuary minimally perform a qualitative assessment of key financial and demographic risks as part of
the risk assessment process with each annual Actuarial Valuation. The risk assessments we perform
include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Periodic demographic experience studies every 3 to 5 years to confirm the ongoing appropriateness
of actuarial assumptions
• Highlight the impact of demographic experience over the past year, as well as other sources of
change and volatility in the Actuarial Recommended Contribution – Reconciliation section of this
report
• Detail year-over-year changes in contribution levels, assets, liabilities, and Funded Status in the
Recommended Contribution and Funded Status sections in the Management Summary section of
this report
• Review any material changes in the census as summarized in the Actuarial Valuation Data section
of this report
• Provide and discuss the Actuarial Assumption Summary document highlighting the rationale for
each key assumption chosen by the Board
• Identify potential Cash Flow Risk by highlighting expected benefit payments over the next 5-year
and 10-year periods in the Asset Growth section in the Management Summary section of this report
• Describe the impact of any assumption, method, or policy change in the Management Summary
section of this report
• Utilize supplemental information, such as the GASB Discount Rate sensitivity disclosures to
understand, for example, what impact an alternative Expected Rate of Return on Investments
assumption might have on the estimation of Actuarial Accrued Liability and Funded Status
• Utilize supplemental information, such as the GASB solvency test, to better understand the Cash
Flow Risk and long-term sustainability of the Plan.
LIMITATIONS OF RISK ANALYSIS
Since future experience may never be precisely as assumed, the process of selecting funding methods and
actuarial assumptions may inherently create risk and volatility of results. A more detailed evaluation of
the above risk exposures is beyond the scope and nature of the annual Actuarial Valuation process. For
example, scenario tests, sensitivity tests, stress tests, and/or stochastic modeling for multi-year projections
to assess the impact of alternative assumptions and methods, or modeling future experience different from
the assumptions in these results, are not included in this Actuarial Valuation.
The McHenry Police Pension Fund and/or the City of McHenry, Illinois should contact the Actuary if
they desire a more detailed assessment of any of these forward-looking risk exposures. DRAFT

ASSESSMENT AND USE OF ACTUARIAL MODELS
Actuarial Valuations rely upon the use of actuarial modeling software to predict the occurrence of future
events, which include specific demographic and financial potential outcomes. Actuarial assumptions are
established to provide a guideline to use for such modeling.
• The model used in this Actuarial Valuation is intended to determine the Recommended
Contribution, under the selected Funding Policy. The actuarial assumptions used were developed
with this goal in mind.
• There are no known material limitations or inconsistencies among the actuarial assumptions or
methods.
• The output from the model is reasonable based on the individual actuarial assumptions and based
on the actuarial assumptions in the aggregate.
• The actuarial software used to calculate plan liabilities has been purchased from an outside vendor.
We have performed thorough testing of the software, including review of sample participants, to
ensure the intended purpose of the model, the operation of the model, sensitivities and
dependencies, and strengths and limitations of the model are sufficient for this purpose.
• Census data and financial information have been provided by client professionals, financial
advisors, and/or auditors, who are known to be experts in their respective fields. We rely on the
fact that the information provided by these experts has been given for the intended purpose of this
Actuarial Valuation.
• Where applicable, certain actuarial assumptions and Funding Policy may be required as prescribed
by law. In such instances, we have followed legal guidance to ensure conformity.
• The Expected Rate of Return on Investments assumption has been chosen using input from several
sources; including, but not limited to: client professionals, financial advisors, auditors, and other
capital market outlooks. We have relied on the information provided, in the aggregate, to settle
on the selected Expected Rate of Return on Investments assumption.
As stated in the Limitations of Risk Analysis section, future experience may never be precisely as assumed.
As a result, the funding methods and actuarial assumptions used in the model may create volatility in the
results when compared year after year. A more detailed evaluation of this volatility is beyond the scope
and nature of the annual Actuarial Valuation process. In such cases, additional scenario tests, sensitivity
tests, stress tests, and/or stochastic modeling for multi-year projections to assess the impact of alternative
assumptions and methods, or modeling future experience different from the assumptions in these results,
may be performed to determine a range of reasonable results.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
McHenry Police Pension Fund
Page 47
GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Actuarial Accrued Liability – The Actuarial Present Value of future benefits based on Members’ service
rendered to the Measurement Date using the selected Actuarial Cost Method. It is that portion of the
Actuarial Present Value of Plan benefits and expenses allocated to prior years of employment. It is not
provided for by future Normal Costs.
Actuarial Cost Method – The method used to allocate the projected obligations of the Plan over the
working lifetimes of the Plan Members.
Actuarial Value of Assets – The value of the assets used in the determination of the Unfunded Actuarial
Accrued Liability. The Actuarial Value of Assets is related to Market Value of Assets, with adjustments
made to spread unanticipated gains and losses for a given year over a period of several years. Actuarial
Value of Assets is generally equally likely to fall above or below the Market Value of Assets, and generally
does not experience as much volatility over time as the Market Value of Assets.
Asset Valuation Method – A valuation method designed to smooth random fluctuations in asset values.
The objective underlying the use of an Asset Valuation Method is to provide for the long-term stability of
Employer Contributions.
Funding Policy – A set of procedures for a Pension Fund that outlines the “best practices” for funding the
pension benefits based on the goals of the Plan Sponsor. A Funding Policy discusses items such as
assumptions, Actuarial Cost Method, assets, and other parameters that will best help the Plan Sponsor
meet their goal of working in the best interest of the Plan Members.
Market Value of Assets – The value of the cash, bonds, securities, and other assets held in the pension
trust as of the Measurement Date.
Normal Cost – The present value of future benefits earned by Members during the current Fiscal Year. It
is that portion of the Actuarial Present Value of benefits and expenses which is allocated to a valuation
year by the Actuarial Cost Method.
Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability – The excess of the Actuarial Accrued Liability over the Actuarial
Value of Assets. The Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability is amortized over a period either in level
dollar amounts or as a level percentage of projected payroll. DRAFT
