Oakland Police and Fire Retirement System Board of Trustees150 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza, Suite 3341Oakland, CA 94612

Board of Trustees:

I am pleased to present the Annual Financial Report of the Oakland Police and Fire Retirement System (PFRS) for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2004, June 30, 2005, and June 30, 2006.

ACCOUNTING SYSTEM

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Section 2600 of the City Charter and in accordance with the accounting and reporting principles set forth in Govern-mental Accounting Standards Board Statement (GASB) No. 25, Financial Reporting for Defined Benefit Pension Plans and Note Disclosures for Defined Contribution Plans. This Statement establishes financial reporting standards for defined benefit plans and for the Notes to the Financial Statements of defined contribution plans of state and local government entities.

Revenues and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis: revenue is taken into account when earned, regardless of the date of collection, and expenses are recorded when the corresponding liabilities are incurred rather than when payment is made. Amortization of bond premiums and discounts are over the life of the investment security, and actuarial reserves are funded via the aggregate cost method.

ADDITIONS

Additions to the Plan are generated by contributions from the members and investment income. The addition for June 30, 2004 totaled $77,880,387. Due to the issuance of Pension Obligation Bonds, the City’s contribution is deferred until July 1, 2011. However, the City made a voluntary contribution of $17,709,888 in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005. Including the City’s contribu-tion, the total addition to the plan in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005 was $65,011,532. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 the addition to the Plan was $42,330,899.

Page 9: Oakland Police & Fire Retirement System

Introduction | 9

DEDUCTIONS

The principal deductions of the Plan relate to the purpose for which it is created, namely the payment of retirement benefits. The deductions to the Plan in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, totaled $72,124,174. This total included not only the recurring benefit payments mandated by the Plan, but also contributions to transfer employees, investment advisory fees, and administrative expenses.

In fiscal year 2006, the Police and Fire Retirement System management discovered an overpay-ment to the Fire retirees and beneficiaries. Three years of overpayments are being recovered from these retirees through a reduction of their individual retirement benefit payments over a 20-month period, which became effective in August 2006. The three years of overpayments, which are esti-mated to total $665,078, are included in the Retirement System’s June 30, 2006 financial statement as a receivable.

RESERVES AND FUNDING

The Police and Fire Retirement System is 69.6% funded, and the actuarial present value of future City contributions is $268.7 million as of July 1, 2005. The funded status is defined as the difference between the projected City liability and the actuarial value of assets. The Fund was 69.8% funded as of July 1, 2004, and 69.1% funded as of July 1, 2003. As previously mentioned, City contributions are deferred until July 1, 2011.

INVESTMENTS

The Police and Fire Retirement System Investment Policy is used as a guideline for all investment activities. The Investment Policy includes an asset allocation plan. The plan consists of five asset classes: Large, Mid, and Small Capitalization Domestic Stocks, International Stocks, and Fixed Income Instruments. In addition, the Investment Policy also allocates investments among the dif-ferent investment management styles.

In 2004, PFRS began to review the portfolio structure of each of its asset classes. As a result, in fiscal year 2004, the PFRS Board adopted a policy to transition a portion of the investments from Index Money Managers to Active Money Managers. In fiscal year 2005, six new Active Managers were hired: four Domestic Money Managers and two International Managers.

Page 10: Oakland Police & Fire Retirement System

10 | Introduction

As of June 30, 2006, the investment styles for the Retirement System’s equity managers are Large Enhanced Index, Large Value, Large Growth, Mid Cap Core, Small Value, Small Growth, and International Equity. The style for the fixed income managers is Active Fixed Core.

Investment income was $44.2 million in fiscal year 2006, $48.6 million in fiscal year 2005, and $79.4 million in fiscal year 2004. GASB Statement No. 25 requires that investments be reported at fair value. The appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments held by PFRS is recorded as an increase (decrease) in investment income based on the valuation of investments at year-end.

The rate of return on the portfolio for the fiscal years 2004, 2005, and 2006 is as follows:

1-Year Rate of Return

6/30/06 6/30/05 6/30/04Total Fund 7.4% 8.3% 12.7%

TAX INFORMATION

The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the Plan qualifies under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and is therefore not subject to tax under present income tax laws. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements, as the Plan is exempt from Federal and State income taxes under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, Section 501 and California Revenue and Taxation Code, Section 23701, respectively.

Payments received under Section 2608 (Retirement for Service) of the Oakland City Charter are taxable to the recipient, since the retirement allowance is based on age and length of service. Under 2610(a) (Disability Retirement), retirement allowances are not taxable; however, the portion of a retiree’s retirement allowance in excess of 50% of the compensation attached to the rank is taxable.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

This report was compiled through the combined efforts of the Retirement System’s administrative staff, the Board of Trustees, and various professional consultants. Its goals are to provide complete and reliable information to the beneficiaries of the Plan, to serve as a basis for making management decisions, and to ensure compliance with legal provisions affecting the administration of the Plan.

Respectfully submitted,

Independent Accountants’ Report

The Board of Administrationof the Oakland Police and Fire Retirement System

We have audited the accompanying statement of plan net assets of the Oakland Police and FireRetirement System (the System), a pension trust fund of the City of Oakland, California (the City), as of June 30, 2006, and the related statement of changes in plan net assets for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the System’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The System’s financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2005 were audited by other auditors, whose report dated November 16, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes considerationof internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the System’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 2, the financial statements of the System are intended to present only the plan net assets and changes in plan net assets of the System. They do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, and the changes in its financial position for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the plan net assets of the System as of June 30, 2006, and changes in plan net assets for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the System adopted the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 40, Deposit and Investment Risk Disclosures, an amendment of GASB Statement No. 3, as of June 30, 2005.

The schedule designated as required supplementary information in the table of contents is not a required part of the financial statements, but is supplementary information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The additional information in the table of contents is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements. The additional information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.

Management is pleased to offer this overview and analysis of the financial activities of the Police and Fire Retirement System (System) for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006, 2005, and 2004. The information presented here, in conjunction with the Notes to the

Financial Statements beginning on page 25, provides a clear picture of the System’s overall financial status.

OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the System’s financial state-ments for the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005, and 2004, which consist of these components:

1. Statements of Plan Net Assets2. Statements of Changes in Plan Net Assets3. Notes to the Financial Statements

The Statements of Plan Net Assets and the Statements of Changes in Plan Net Assets summarize the System’s net assets and the activities that caused changes in the net assets, respectively, during the three fiscal years under review. These statements report information as to whether the System’s finances as a whole have improved or deteriorated as a result of a particular year’s activities.

The Statements of Plan Net Assets present information on all System assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net assets held in trust for pension benefits. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets held in trust for pension benefits may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial condition of the System is improving or deteriorating.

While the Statements of Plan Net Assets provide information about the nature and amount of resources and obligations at year-end, the Statements of Changes in Plan Net Assets present the results of the System’s activities during each fiscal year and information as to how the net assets held in trust for pension benefits have changed during the year. The Statements of Changes in Plan Net Assets measure the results of the System’s investment performance as well as any additions from contributions and deductions for payment of benefits and administrative expenses.

The Statements of Changes in Plan Net Assets can be used as indicators of how the System has progressed to or regressed from the twin goals of fully funding all current and past service costs along with having sufficient additional revenue to pay for current refunds of contributions and administrative and investment expenses.

The Notes to Financial Statements and Required Supplementary Information provide additional information to facilitate a fuller understanding of the data provided in the financial statements. See Notes to Financial Statements and the Note to Required Supplementary Information on page 25 and page 33, respectively.

Management Discussion and Analysis

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

The System’s net assets held in trust for pension benefits were $585,104,429, $614,897,704, and $621,582,820 as of June 30, 2006, 2005, and 2004 respectively. Table 1 and Table 2 present con-densed information about the System’s financial results—plan net assets and changes in plan net assets—for the years ending June 30, 2006, 2005, and 2004.

NET ASSETS

Net assets held in trust decreased $29,793,275 from FY 2005 to FY 2006. The main source of this decrease was the payout of monthly pension payments and a decrease in cash held by the System. The City’s advanced contribution of $17.7 million was made at the end of FY 2005 and was included in the FY 2005 cash. In FY 2006, the Retirement Board made a decision to intentionally decrease the System’s holding of cash and utilized the cash reserve to make monthly pension payments.

The fluctuations in receivables and investments payable are primarily due to investment trading at year-end, where the outstanding balances represent investments either sold or purchased, but not yet settled. In FY 2006, Management of the System discovered that overpayments of retiree holiday pay had been made to the Fire retirees and beneficiaries. Three years of overpayments will be recovered from the retirees through a reduction of individual retirement benefit payments over a 20-month period effective August 2006. Three years of fire holiday overpayments are estimated to total $665,078. These overpayments are included in the System’s June 30, 2006 receivables.

Net assets held in trust decreased $6,685,116 from FY 2004 to FY 2005, but had increased $6,477,796 from FY 2003 to FY 2004. The main cause of the fluctuations between the three years is the volatility of investment returns over the past few years. The amount of benefits payable increased as a result of the timing of the year-end payments. The payable to CalPERS has decreased over the past few years as the System has been making payments to CalPERS to cover participants who transferred coverage to CalPERS. These payments concluded in FY 2004, and there were no participants who transferred to CalPERS in FY 2005.

Changes In Net Assets for FY 2006The System’s total additions were $42,330,899 in FY 2006 versus $65,011,532 in FY 2005. The change in net assets held for benefit payments for FY 2006 was a decrease of $29,793,275.

The City is currently not required to make any contributions until July 1, 2011 due to a holiday period granted as part of the Pension Obligation bond issued in 1997. No contributions were made in FY 2006.

Total investment income was $44,171,089 in FY 2006. Excluding monthly pension payment withdrawals, the System had a total annual portfolio return of 7.4%. This return was higher than the Policy Benchmark of 6.9%, but was lower than the 8% Actuarial Expected Rate of Return. The System paid $71,351,523 in Police and Fire Retiree pension payments.

Changes In Net Assets for FY 2005 and FY 2004The System’s total additions were $65,011,532 in FY 2005 versus $77,880,387 in FY 2004. The change in net assets held for benefit payments for FY 2005 was a decrease of $6,685,116.

As previously stated, the City is currently not required to make any contributions due to the funding status of the plan. However, the City made an advance contribution of $17,709,888 to the System in FY 2005. The City transferred proceeds from the Oakland Joint Powers Financing Authority Refunding Revenue 2005 Series B Bond to fund a portion of the City’s future obligation to the System.

Total investment income was $47,239,577 in FY 2005 and $77,858,806 in FY 2004. The fair market value of the System’s investments continued to appreciate in FY 2005, but not at the robust level of FY 2004. Benefit payments and administrative expenses remained level in FY 2005.

Notes to Basic Financial StatementsYears Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE OAKLAND POLICE AND FIRE RETIREMENT SYSTEM

The Oakland Police and Fire Retirement System (the System) is a closed, single-employer defined benefit plan established by the City of Oakland (City) Charter. The System is governed by a board of seven trustees—four are appointed by the Mayor, with the approval of the City Council, one is elected from the active members and two are elected from the retired members of the System. Trustees receive no compensation. The System covers the City’s uniformed employees. As a result of a City Charter amendment, known as Measure R approved by the electorate on June 8, 1976, membership in the plan is limited to uniformed employees hired prior to July 1, 1976. All subse-quent hires are covered under the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS). Active members are permitted to terminate their membership in the System and become members of CalPERS under certain conditions.

The System is exempt from the regulations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The System is also exempt from federal income taxes and California franchise tax.

System MembershipAt June 30, 2006 and 2005, the System membership consisted of:

2006 2005

Retirees and beneficiaries currently receiving benefits:

Police 725 740

Fire 586 613

Total 1,311 1,353

Current employees (all vested):

Police 3 3

Basic Benefit ProvisionsThe City Charter establishes plan membership, contribution, and benefit provisions. The System provides that any member who completes at least 25 years of service, regardless of age, or completes 20 years of service and attains age 55, or has attained age 65 is eligible for retirement benefits. The basic retirement allowance equals 50% of the compensation attached to the average rank held during the three years immediately preceding retirement, plus an additional allowance of 2/3-1% of such compensation for each year of service (up to ten) subsequent to (a) qualifying for retirement and (b) July 1, 1951. However, any member retiring at age 65 with less than 20 years of service shall receive a reduced retirement allowance based upon the number of years of service. A member is eligible for early retirement benefits after 20 to 24 years of service with a retirement allowance based

Page 26: Oakland Police & Fire Retirement System

26 | Financial

upon 40% to 48% of the compensation attached to the average rank held during the three years preceding retirement. Additionally, a member with 10 to 19 years of service may retire and, on or after the 25th anniversary of his/her date of employment may receive a retirement allowance based upon 20% to 38% of the compensation attached to the average rank held during the three years preceding retirement. The System also provides for various death, disability and survivors’ benefits.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of PresentationThe System is reported as a pension trust fund in the City’s basic financial statements. The financial statements of the System present only the financial activities of the System and are not intended to present the financial position and changes in financial position of the City in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Measurement Focus and Basis of AccountingThe financial statements are prepared on a flow of economic resources measurement focus using the accrual basis of accounting. Contributions are recognized in the period in which the contributions are due pursuant to formal commitments as well as statutory or contractual requirements, and benefits and refunds are recognized when payable under plan provisions.

Methods Used to Value InvestmentsInvestments are reported at fair value. Securities traded on a national or international exchange are valued at the last reported sales price at current exchange rates. Mortgages are reported based on the remaining principal balances.

The System adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 40, Deposit and Investment Risk Disclosures – an amendment to GASB Statement No. 3, effective July 1, 2004. GASB Statement No. 40 is designed to inform financial statement users about deposit and investment risks that could affect a government’s ability to provide services and meet its obligations as they become due. There are risks inherent in all deposits and investments, and GASB believes that the disclosures required by this Statement provide users of governmental financial statements with information to assess common risks inherent in deposit and investment transactions. Deposit and investment resources represent significant assets of the System, and these resources are neces-sary to carry out fiduciary responsibilities. Some key changes with GASB Statement No. 40 include disclosure of:

a. Common deposit and investment risks related to credit risk;b. Concentration of credit risk; c. Interest rate risk;d. Foreign currency risk;e. Investments that have fair values that are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates; andf. Deposit and investment policies related to those risks.

Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. CONTRIBUTIONS

In accordance with the City Charter, active members hired after July 1, 1951, and prior to July 1, 1976, contribute a percentage of their earned salaries based upon entry age as determined by consulting actuaries. During the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, these contributions ranged from 5.47% to 6.05%. The City Charter limits employee contributions to 13.00% of earned salaries. Employee contributions are refundable with interest at 4.00% per year if an employee elects to withdraw from the System upon termination of employment with the City.

The City contributes, at a minimum, such amounts as are necessary, on an actuarial basis, using the aggregate actuarial cost method, to provide assets sufficient to meet benefits to be paid to plan members. The City is required to fund all liabilities for future benefits for all members by June 30, 2026. In order to do so, the City makes contributions at rates established by consulting actuaries based upon plan valuations using various assumptions as to salary progression, inflation, and rate of return on investments. The City’s contributions are based on a level percentage of all uniformed employees’ compensation. Significant actuarial assumptions used to compute actuarially determined contribution requirements are the same as those used to compute the pension benefit obligation.

The City issued pension obligation bonds in the amount of $417,173,300 to fund the System during the year ended June 30, 1998 and, as a result, no employer contributions are required through the year ending June 30, 2011.

The City transferred proceeds of $17,709,888 during the year ended June 30, 2005 from the Oakland Joint Powers Financing Authority Refunding Revenue 2005 Series B Bond to fund a portion of the City’s future obligation to the System.

There was no identified unfunded actuarial accrued liability as of July 1, 2005 (the last actuarial valuation date).

4. CASH, DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS

Investment PolicyThe System’s investment policy authorizes investment in U.S. equities, international equities, U.S. fixed income, instruments including U.S. Treasury notes and bonds, government agency mortgage backed securities, U.S. corporate notes and bonds, collateralized mortgage obligations, yankee bonds and non U.S.-issued fixed income securities denominated in foreign currencies. The System’s invest-ment portfolio is managed by external investment managers. During the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the number of external investment managers was nine and seven, respectively.

Years Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005

Page 28: Oakland Police & Fire Retirement System

28 | Financial

The System’s Investment Policy limits fixed income investments to a maximum average duration of 10 years and a maximum remaining term to maturity (single issue) at purchase of 30 years, with targeted portfolio duration of between 3 to 8 years and targeted portfolio maturity of 15 years. The System’s investment policy with respect to fixed income investments also identifies two standards for credit quality. The policy allows the core style manager to invest in securities rated “BBB” or higher (investment grade using Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s ratings). The policy also allows the enhanced core style manager to invest in securities with a minimum rating of B or higher (non investment grade using Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s ratings) as long as the portfolio maintains an average credit quality of BBB.

The System’s investment policy states that investments in derivative securities known as Col-lateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs) shall be limited to a maximum of 20% of an account’s market value with no more than 5% in any one issue. CMOs are mortgage-backed securities that create separate pools of pass-through rates for different classes of bondholders with varying maturi-ties. The fair value of CMOs are considered sensitive to interest rate changes because they have embedded options.

The Investment Policy allows for each fixed asset manager to have a maximum of 10% of any single security investment in their individual portfolios with the exception of U.S. government securities, which is allowed to have a maximum of 25% in each manager’s portfolio.

Cash and Cash DepositsAs of June 30, 2006 and 2005, cash and cash deposits consisted of cash in treasury held in the City’s cash and investment pool. These funds are invested according to the investment policy adopted by the City Council. Interest earned on these pooled accounts is allocated monthly to all funds based on the average daily cash balance maintained by the respective funds. It is not possible to disclose relevant information about the System’s separate portion of the investment pool. Information regarding the characteristics of the entire investment pool can be found in the City’s June 30, 2006 basic financial statements. A copy of that report may be obtained by contacting the City Treasurer. As of June 30, 2006, the System’s share of the City’s investment pool totaled $3,471,130.

Interest Rate RiskInterest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. As described previously, the System’s Investment Policy limits fixed income invest-ments to a maximum average duration of 10 years and a maximum remaining term to maturity (single issue) at purchase of 30 years, with targeted portfolio duration of between 3 to 8 years and targeted portfolio maturity of 15 years. As of June 30, 2006 the average duration for the System’s fixed income investment portfolio was 4.28 years, excluding fixed income short-term investments and securities lending investments. The following summarizes the System’s fixed income invest-ments by category at June 30, 2006:

Fair Value Highly Sensitive to Change in Interest RatesThe terms of a debt investment may cause its fair value to be highly sensitive to interest rate changes. The fair values of CMOs are considered sensitive to interest rate changes because they have embed-ded options. The following are the System’s investments in CMOs at June 30, 2006:

Concentration of Credit RiskConcentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of a government’s invest-ment in a single issuer. As of June 30, 2006, with the exception of mutual funds and United States Government securities, no investment exceeded 5% of the System’s net assets.

Custodial Credit RiskCustodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of a failure of depository financial institution or counterparty to a transaction, the inability to recover the value of deposits, investments, or collateral securities in the possession of an outside party.

The California Government Code requires that governmental securities or first trust deed mort-gage notes be used as collateral for demand deposits and certificates of deposit at 110 percent and 150 percent, respectively, of all deposits not covered by federal deposit insurance. As the City holds all cash and certificates of deposit on behalf of the System, the collateral must be held by the pledg-ing financial institution’s trust department and is considered held in the City’s name.

The City, on behalf of the System, does not have any funds or deposits that are not covered by depository insurance, which are either uncollateralized, collateralized with securities held by the pledging financial institution, or collateralized with securities held by the pledging financial institution’s trust department or agent, but not in the City’s name. The System does not have any investments that are not registered in the name of System and are either held by the counterparty or the counterparty’s trust department or agent but not in the System’s name.

Foreign Currency RiskForeign currency risk is the risk that changes in foreign exchanges rates will adversely affect the fair values of an investment or deposit. The following summarizes the System’s investments denomi-nated in foreign currencies as of June 30, 2006:

Securities Lending TransactionsThe System’s investment policy authorizes participation in securities lending transactions, which are short-term collateralized loans of the System’s securities to broker-dealers with a simultaneous agreement allowing the System to invest and receive earnings on the loan rebate fee. All securities loans can be terminated on demand by either the System or the borrower, although the average term of loans is one week.

The administrator of the System’s securities lending activities is responsible for maintaining an adequate level of collateral in an amount equal to at least 102% (105% for international) of market value of loaned U.S. government securities. Collateral received may include cash, letters of credit, or securities. If securities collateral is received, the System cannot pledge or sell the collateral securities unless the borrower defaults.

As of June 30, 2006 and 2005, management believes the System has minimized its credit risk exposure to borrowers because the amounts held by the System as collateral exceeded the securities loaned by the System. The System’s contract with the administrator requires it to indemnify the System if the borrowers fail to return the securities (and if the collateral is inadequate to replace the securities borrowed) or fails to pay the System for income distributions by the securities’ issuers while the securities are on loan.

The following summarizes investments in securities lending transactions and collateral received at June 30, 2006:

Investments in securities lending transactions:

US Government and agencies $ 45,681,393

Corporate bonds 1,438,599

US equity 10,538,853

Total investments in securities lending transactions $ 57,658,845

Collateral received:

Cash $ 581,556

Corporate bonds 25,000,000

Repurchase agreements 34,000,000

Total collateral received $ 59,581,556

5. RECEIVABLES FROM RETIREES AND BENEFICIARIES

Management of the System determined that overpayments of retiree holiday pay had been made to certain Fire retirees and beneficiaries. The overpayments are to be recovered from the retirees through a reduction of retirement benefit payments over a 20-month period effective in August 2006. Non-interest bearing receivables from retirees with an aggregate amount of $665,078 have been recorded on the System’s financial statements as of June 30, 2006.

Years Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005

6. RESERVES

Reserves are established from member and employer contributions and the accumulation of invest-ment income after satisfying investment and administrative expenses. The System’s major reserves are as follows:

Active Member Contribution Reserve represents total accumulated member contributions. Additions include member contributions and investment earnings; deductions include refunds of member contributions and transfers to the Retired Member Contribution Reserve.

Retired Member Contribution Reserve represents the total accumulated transfers from active member contributions and investments, less payments to retired members.

Employer Reserve represents the total accumulated employer contributions for retirement pay-ments. Additions include contributions from the employer and investment earnings; deductions include payments to retired members.

Market Stabilization Reserve represents unrealized gains and losses recognized in the financial statements as a result of reporting investments at fair value.

The aggregate total of the System’s major reserves as of June 30, 2006 and 2005 equals net assets held in trust for pension benefits and comprises the following:

2006 2005Active member contribution reserve $ 899,553 $ 840,031

Retired member contribution reserve 68,038,616 68,583,690

The information presented in the required supplementary schedule was determined as part of the actuarial valuations as of the dates indicated. Additional information as of the latest actuarial valu-ation date of July 1, 2005, is as follows:

The System uses the aggregate actuarial cost method for its actuarial calculations. Under this method, the unfunded actuarial accrued liability is not identified or separately amortized. For this reason, a schedule of funding progress is not required when the aggregate actuarial cost method is used. Instead, the excess of the actuarial present value of projected benefits of the group included in the actuarial valuation over the actuarial value of assets is allocated on a level basis over the earnings of the group between the valuation date and assumed exit. The allocation is performed for the group as a whole, not as a sum of individual allocations. The portion of the actuarial present value allocated to a valuation year is called the normal cost. Under this method, the actuarial gains (losses), as they occur, reduce (increase) future normal costs. If the actuarial value of assets exceeds the actuarial present value of projected benefits, the normal cost is set equal to zero.

The System uses fair value as its asset valuation method.

Actuarial assumptions:Investment rate of return 8.0%

Cost-of-living adjustments 3.0%

Inflation rate 3.5%

The System also provides for various death, disability and survivors’ benefits.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of PresentationThe System is reported as a pension trust fund in the City’s basic financial statements. The financial statements of the System present only the financial activities of the System and are not intended to present the financial position and changes in financial position of the City in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis of AccountingThe financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. Contributions are rec-ognized in the period in which the contributions are due pursuant to formal commitments as well as statutory or contractual requirements, and benefits and refunds are recognized when payable under plan provisions.

Methods Used to Value InvestmentsInvestments are reported at fair value. Securities traded on a national or international exchange are valued at the last reported sales price at current exchange rates. Mortgages are reported based on the remaining principal balances.

Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Transfers to CalPERSAt June 30, 2003, the System recorded a liability to CalPERS for an actuarially determined amount, representing employer and employee contributions, for members who became members of CalPERS. During the year ended June 30, 2004, the System made a payment in the amount of $15,004,000 to CalPERS to perfect the transfer.

Implementation of New Accounting PrincipleThe System adopted the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) State-ment No. 40, Deposit and Investment Risk Disclosures, an amendment of GASB Statement No. 3, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. This statement addresses common deposit and invest-ment risks related to credit risk, concentration of credit risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency

risk. While comparative GASB 40 disclosures will be provided in succeeding years, such disclosures for the year ended June 30, 2005 are not available.

3. CONTRIBUTIONS

In accordance with the City Charter, active members hired after July 1, 1951, and prior to July 1, 1976, contribute a percentage of their earned salaries based upon entry age as determined by consulting actuaries. During the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, these contributions ranged from 5.47% to 6.05%. The City Charter limits employee contributions to 13.00% of earned salaries. Employee contributions are refundable with interest at 4.00% per year if an employee elects to withdraw from the System upon termination of employment with the City.

The City contributes, at a minimum, such amounts as are necessary, on an actuarial basis, using the aggregate actuarial cost method, to provide assets sufficient to meet benefits to be paid to plan members. The City is required to fund all liabilities for future benefits for all members by June 30, 2026. In order to do so, the City makes contributions at rates established by consulting actuaries based upon plan valuations using various assumptions as to salary progression, inflation, and rate of return on investments. The City’s contributions are based on a level percentage of all uniformed employees’ compensation. Significant actuarial assumptions used to compute actuarially determined contribution requirements are the same as those used to compute the pension benefit obligation.

The City issued pension obligation bonds in the amount of $417,173,300 to fund the System during the year ended June 30, 1998 and, as a result, no employer contributions are required through the year ending June 30, 2011.

The City transferred proceeds of $17,709,888 from the Oakland Joint Powers Financing Authority Refunding Revenue 2005 Series B Bond to fund a portion of the City’s future obligation to the System.

4. CASH AND INVESTMENTS

Cash and DepositsAs of June 30, 2005 and 2004, cash and deposits consisted of the following:

Cash in treasury is held in the City’s cash and investment pool. These funds are invested accord-ing to the investment policy adopted by the City Council. Interest earned on these pooled accounts is allocated monthly to all funds based on the average daily cash balance maintained by the respec-tive funds. Information regarding the custodial credit risk categorization of the City’s cash and investment pool can be found in the City’s basic financial statements.

InvestmentsThe System’s investment policy authorizes investment in U.S. equities, international equities, U.S. fixed income, instruments including U.S. Treasury notes and bonds, government agency mortgage backed securities, U.S. corporate notes and bonds, collateralized mortgage obligations, yankee bonds and non U.S. issued fixed income securities denominated in foreign currencies. The System’s invest-ment portfolio is managed by external investment managers. During the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the number of external investment managers was seven and six, respectively.

Interest Rate RiskThe System’s Investment Policy limits fixed income investments to a maximum average duration of 10 years and a maximum remaining term to maturity (single issue) at purchase of 30 years, with targeted portfolio duration of between 3 to 8 years and targeted portfolio maturity of 15 years. As of June 30, 2005 the duration for the System’s fixed income investment portfolio was 3.33, excluding the fixed income short-term investments and the securities lending investments.

As of June 30, 2005, the System had the following fixed income investments and maturities.

Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligation. The System’s investment policy with respect to fixed income investments identifies two standards for credit quality. The policy allows the core style manager to invest in securities rated “BBB” or higher (investment grade using Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s ratings). The policy also allows the enhanced core style manager to invest in securities with a minimum rating of B or higher (non investment grade using Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s ratings) as long as the portfolio maintains an average credit quality of BBB. The following table provides information as of June 30, 2005 concerning credit risk.

Concentration of Credit RiskThe Investment Policy allows for each fixed asset manager to have a maximum of 10% of any single security investment in their individual portfolios with the exception of U.S. government securities, which is allowed to have a maximum of 25% in each manager’s portfolio. As of June 30, 2005, there was no concentration in excess of the System’s net assets.

Securities Lending TransactionsThe System’s investment policy authorizes participation in securities lending transactions, which are short-term collateralized loans of the System’s securities to broker-dealers with a simultaneous agreement allowing the System to invest and receive earnings on the loan rebate fee. All securities loans can be terminated on demand by either the System or the borrower, although the average term of loans is one week.

The administrator of the System’s securities lending activities is responsible for maintaining an adequate level of collateral in an amount equal to at least 102% (105% for international) of market value of loaned U.S. government securities. Collateral received may include cash, letters of credit, or securities. If securities collateral is received, the System cannot pledge or sell the collateral securities unless the borrower defaults.

As of June 30, 2005 and 2004, the System had no credit risk exposure to borrowers because the amounts held by the System as collateral exceeded the securities loaned by the System. The System’s contract with the administrator requires it to indemnify the System if the borrowers fail to return

Fair Value Highly Sensitive to Change in Interest RatesThe terms of a debt investment may cause its fair value to be highly sensitive to interest rate changes. Collateralized Mortgage Obligation (CMO) is a type of mortgage-backed security that creates separate pools of pass-through rates for different classes of bondholders with varying maturities. The fair value of mortgage-backed security pass throughs/CMOs are considered sensitive to inter-est rate changes because they have embedded options. The investment policy states that investments in derivative securities known as CMOs shall be limited to a maximum of 20% of an account’s market value with no more than 5% in any one issue.

Category 2 includes uninsured and unregistered investments for which the securities are held by the counterparty’s trust department or agent in the System’s name. Category 3 includes uninsured and unregistered investments with the securities held by the counterparty or its trust department or agent, but not in the System’s name.

5. RESERVES

Reserves are established from member and employer contributions and the accumulation of invest-ment income after satisfying investment and administrative expenses. The System’s major reserves are as follows:

Active Member Contribution Reserve represents total accumulated member contributions. Addi-tions include member contributions and investment earnings; deductions include refunds of member contributions and transfers to the Retired Member Contribution Reserve.

Retired Member Contribution Reserve represents the total accumulated transfers from the Active Member Contribution Reserve and investment earnings, less payments to retired members.

Employer Reserve represents the total accumulated employer contributions for retirement pay-ments. Additions include contributions from the employer and investment earnings; deduc-tions include payments to retired members.

Market Stabilization Reserve represents unrealized gains and losses recognized in the financial statements as a result of reporting investments at fair value.

The aggregate total of the System’s major reserves as of June 30, 2005 and 2004 equals net assets held in trust for pension benefits and comprises the following:

Note to Required Supplementary Information

Years Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005

The information presented in the required supplementary schedule was determined as part of the actuarial valuations as of the dates indicated. Additional information as of the latest actuarial valu-ation date of July 1, 2005, is as follows:

The System uses the aggregate actuarial cost method for its actuarial calculations. Under this method, the unfunded actuarial accrued liability is not identified or separately amortized. For this reason, a schedule of funding progress is not required when the aggregate actuarial cost method is used. Instead, the excess of the actuarial present value of projected benefits of the group included in the actuarial valuation over the actuarial value of assets is allocated on a level basis over the earnings of the group between the valuation date and assumed exit. The allocation is performed for the group as a whole, not as a sum of individual allocations. The portion of the actuarial present value allocated to a valuation year is called the normal cost. Under this method, the actuarial gains (losses), as they occur, reduce (increase) future normal costs. If the actuarial value of assets exceeds the actuarial present value of projected benefits, the normal cost is set equal to zero.

The System uses fair value as its asset valuation method.

Actuarial assumptions:Investment rate of return 8.0%

Projected salary increases 4.5%

Inflation rate 3.5%

Summary of Assumptions and Funding Method The Police and Fire Retirement System (PFRS) pension plan was established by the Oakland elec-torate in the early 1950s when Article XXVI of the Charter of the City of Oakland was adopted. Article XXVI created the PFRS to provide retirement benefits for sworn members of the City of Oakland Police and Fire Departments. The plan is a defined benefit plan. Article XXVI requires the City of Oakland to make contributions necessary to fully fund the plan (i.e., actuarially fund all liabilities for all Plan members) by July 1, 2026 based on actuarial valuations. In 1976 the PFRS was closed. Following the closure, the City placed new police and fire employees in the Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) The PFRS pension plan is administered and managed by the Police and Fire Retirement Board in accordance with the provisions of Article XXVI of the City of Oakland, as it may be amended from time to time by the Oakland voters.

ORGANIzATIONAL OVERVIEW

The City of Oakland City Charter established the System and provides for its funding. Accord-ingly, the System is an integral part of the City of Oakland (the City) and its operations have been reported as a Pension Trust Fund in the City’s basic financial statements. The System is a closed, single-employer, defined-benefit pension plan that provides retirement, disability, and survivor benefits for eligible sworn safety employees of the City hired prior to July 1, 1976 who have not transferred to the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS).

The System is governed by a board of seven trustees: the Mayor or his designate, three Mayoral appointees approved by the City Council, an elected active or retired member of the Police Depart-ment, an elected active or retired member of the Fire Department, and an elected member position that alternates between the Police Department and Fire Department membership. Trustees receive no compensation.

The System is funded by periodic employee and City contributions at actuarially determined amounts sufficient to accumulate the necessary assets to pay benefits when due as specified by ordinance. Active members contribute a percentage of earned salaries, which is determined by con-sulting actuaries based upon their entry age into the System. In accordance with the City Charter, active members hired after July 1, 1951, and prior to July 1, 1976, contribute a percentage of their earned salaries based upon entry age as determined by consulting actuaries. During the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, these contributions ranged from 5.47% to 6.05%. The City Charter lim-its employee contributions to 13.00% of earned salaries. Employee contributions are refundable with interest at 4.00% if an employee elects to withdraw from the System upon termination with the City.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SYSTEM

In March 1997, the City issued Pension Obligation Bonds in the amount of $417,173,300 to pay the City’s contributions to the System through June 2011. As a result, no contributions are required from the City to PFRS until July 1, 2011, at which time the contribution rate will be established based on the System’s July 1, 2010 assets and liabilities. During the year ended June 30, 2005, the City made an advance contribution of $17,709,888 to the System, transferring proceeds from the Oakland Joint Powers Financing Authority Refunding Revenue 2005 Series B Bond to fund a portion of the City’s future obligation to the System. There was no identified unfunded actuarial accrued liability as of July 1, 2005, the last actuarial valuation date.

The System uses the aggregate actuarial cost method for its actuarial calculations. Under this method, the unfunded actuarial accrued liability is not identified or separately amortized. For this reason, a schedule of funding progress is not required when the aggregate actuarial cost method is used. Instead, the excess of the actuarial present value of projected benefits of the group included in the actuarial valuation over the actuarial value of assets is allocated on a level basis over the earnings of the group between the valuation date and assumed exit. The allocation is performed for the group as a whole, not as a sum of individual allocations. The portion of the actuarial present value allocated to a valuation year is called the normal cost. Under this method, the actuarial gains (losses), as they occur, reduce (increase) future normal costs. If the actuarial value of assets exceeds the actuarial present value of projected benefits, the normal cost is set equal to zero.

The System uses fair value as its asset valuation method. The following are the actuarial assump-tions used to compute contribution requirements:

SUMMARY OF PLAN PROVISIONS

The plan, which is a closed, defined-benefit plan with only a few active members, exists to pay the retirement benefits of active and retired members who are eligible to receive plan retirement benefits. This summary notes some basic provisions and is not intended to be nor should it be interpreted as a complete description of all plan provisions.

The City Charter establishes plan membership, contribution, and benefit provisions. Retirement eligibility is based upon a combination of years of service and age. Any member who completes at least 25 years of service, regardless of age, or completes 20 years of service and reaches age 55, or has reached age 65 is eligible for retirement benefits.

Retirement benefits are paid in the form of a monthly retirement allowance with various options for continuation of benefits to a surviving spouse following the retired participant’s death. The basic retirement allowance equals 50% of the compensation attached to the average rank held during the three years immediately preceding retirement, plus an additional allowance of 2/3-1% of such compensation for each year of service (up to ten) subsequent to (a) qualifying for retirement and (b) July 1, 1951. However, any member retiring at age 65 with less than 20 years of service receives

Page 57: Oakland Police & Fire Retirement System

Actuarial | 57

a reduced retirement allowance based upon the number of years of service. A member is eligible for early retirement benefits after 20 to 24 years of service, with a retirement allowance based upon 40% to 48% of the compensation attached to the average rank held during the three years preceding retirement. In addition, a member with 10 to 19 years of service may retire and, on or after the 25th anniversary of his/her date of employment, may receive a retirement allowance based upon 20% to 38% of the compensation attached to the average rank held during the three years preceding retirement.

The System also provides early service retirement, disability, surviving-spouse, and post-retire-ment death benefits. The City Charter prescribes different benefits for members who retire due to a service-connected or non-service-connected disability.

The plan is financed as follows:

Employee contributions: Active members contribute a percentage of their salaries based upon entry age as determined by consulting actuaries but not to exceed 13.00% of salaries. Contri-butions are refundable if an employee elects to withdraw from the System.

City contributions: Due to the contribution “holiday”, the City is not scheduled to make another contribution until June of 2011.

In accordance with the City Charter, active members hired after July 1, 1951, and prior to July

1, 1976, contribute a percentage of their earned salaries based upon entry age as determined by consulting actuaries. During the years ended June 30, 2006, June 30, 2005, and June 30, 2004, these contributions ranged from 5.47% to 6.05%. The City Charter limits employee contributions to 13.00% of earned salaries. Employee contributions are refundable with interest at 4.00% per year if an employee elects to withdraw from the System upon termination of employment with the City.

The City contributes at a minimum amount as necessary, on an actuarial basis using the aggre-gate actuarial cost method, to provide assets sufficient to meet benefits to be paid to plan members. The City is required to fund all liabilities for future benefits for all members by June 30, 2026. To do so, the City makes contributions at rates established by consulting actuaries based upon plan valua-tions using various assumptions as to salary progression, inflation, and rate of return on investments. The City’s contributions are based on a level percentage of all uniformed employees’ compensation. Significant actuarial assumptions used to compute actuarially determined contribution require-ments are the same as those used to compute the pension benefit obligation.
