Indian River County, Florida <br />Notes To Financial Statements <br />Year Ended September 30, 2016 <br />NOTE 13 - RETIREMENT PLAN - Florida Retirement System (FRS) - Continued <br />Pension Plan - Continued <br />Discount Rate for Pension Plan: The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was <br />7.60%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that plan member <br />contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that the County's contributions will be <br />made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the Pension <br />Plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments <br />of current active and inactive employees if future experience follows assumptions and the actuarially <br />determined contribution is contributed in full each year. Therefore, the discount rate for calculation of <br />the total pension liability is equal to the long-term expected rate of return. <br />Sensitivity of the County's Proportionate Share of the Net Position Liability to Changes in the Discount <br />Rate for the Pension Plan: The following presents the County's proportionate share of the NPL (net <br />pension liability) of the pension plan calculated using the discount rate of 7.60%. Also presented is <br />what the County's proportionate share of the FRS plan NPL would be if it were calculated using a <br />discount rate that is 1% lower or 1% higher than the current rate: <br />1% Current Discount <br />Decrease (6.60%) Rate (7.60%) <br />County's proportionate share of NPL $156,006,575 $84,737,012 <br />1% <br />Increase (8.60%) <br />$25,414,512 <br />Pension Plan Fiduciary Net Position: Detailed information regarding the Pension Plan's fiduciary net <br />position is available in the separately issued FRS Pension Plan and Other State -Administered Systems <br />Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
