The purpose of this policy is to reconcile the requirements of Transit District Law with the plenary authority given to the Retirement Board by Proposition 162 to determine the District's contributions to the pension plan. This is addressed by conducting Actuarial Valuations of the plan at regular intervals to arrive at the then current Actuarially Determined Contribution (ADC). The policy further addresses compliance with the relevant Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) statements, and sets the frequencies at which Experience Studies, and Level 1 Actuarial Audits are to be conducted.
