Actuarial Certification
This report is prepared in accordance with our understanding of GASB Nos. 67 & 68 for the purpose of disclosing pension plans in financial statements.
Determinations for purposes other than meeting these requirements may be significantly different from the results contained in this report.
The information presented in this report is based on:
• the actuarial assumptions included in this report;
• the plan provisions;
• participant information furnished to us by the Plan Administrator;
• asset information furnished to us by the Plan Trustee.
We have reviewed the provided data for reasonableness when compared to prior information provided, but have not audited the data. Where relevant data may be
missing, we may have made assumptions we believe are reasonable for the purpose of the measurement. We are not aware of any significant issues with and have
relied on the data provided. Any errors in the data provided may result in a different result than those provided in this report.
The interest rate, other economic assumptions, and demographic assumptions have been selected by the plan sponsor with our recommendations. The assumptions
used, in our opinion, are reasonable and represent a reasonable expectation of future experience under the plan. All calculations have been made in accordance with
generally accepted actuarial principles and practice.
A summary of any assumptions not included in this report, the plan provisions and the participant information is included in the Actuarial Valuation Report for funding
purposes.
Future actuarial measurements may differ significantly from the current measurements presented in this report due to such factors as the following:
• plan experience differing from that anticipated by the economic or demographic assumptions;
• changes in economic or demographic assumptions;
• increases or decreases expected as part of the natural operation of the methodology used for these measurements (such as the end of an amortization period
or additional cost or contribution requirements based on the plan's funded status); and
• changes in plan provisions or applicable law.
We did not perform an analysis of the potential range of future measurements due to the limited scope of our engagement.
In preparing the results, Nyhart used Proval valuation software developed by Winklevoss Technologies, LLC. This software is widely used for the purpose of
performing pension valuations. We coded the plan provisions, assumptions, methods, and participant data summarized in this report, and reviewed the liability and
cost outputs for reasonableness. We are not aware of any material weaknesses or limitations in the software, and have determined it is appropriate for performing this
valuation.
3 | P a g e
The undersigned are compliant with the continuing education requirements of the Qualification Standards for Actuaries Issuing Statements of Actuarial
Opinion in the United States.
To our knowledge there have been no significant events prior to the current year's measurement date or as of the date of this report which could
materially affect the results contained herein.
Neither Nyhart nor any of its employees have any relationships with the plan or plan sponsor which could impair or appear to impair the objectivity of this
report.

The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return
(expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These expected future real rates of return are
combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding
expected inflation. Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included in the pension plan's target asset allocation as of December 31,
2021 are summarized in the following table:

Long-term expected rate of return is 6.75%.

Discount rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.75%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that plan member
contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined
contribution rates and the member rate. Professional judgment on future contributions has been applied in those cases where contribution patterns deviate from the
actuarially determined rates. Based on those assumptions, the pension plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit
payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit
payments to determine the total pension liability.

Discount Rate and Net Pension Liability Sensitivity
Sensitivity of the net pension liability to changes in the discount rate
The following presents the net pension liability, calculated using the discount rate of 6.75%, as well as what the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using
a discount rate that is 1-percentage-point lower (5.75%) or 1-percentage-point higher (7.75%) than the current rate:
