These distributions will now tie based on an estimate of the pension payments the City will make in the <br />current year. At least 50% of the pension payments the City makes will be covered by the pension relief fund and the rest is to be covered <br />by the City. <br />b - Represents a 5% increase over prior year's tax levy. <br />c -Represents the State Tax Board's estimate. <br />d - Represents an decrease in pension base because of retirement of firefighters. <br />e - in 2001 state legislation passed SEA 524. This will result in revenue from interest earned from the I ndiana's Public Deposit Insurance Fund. <br />These revenues will be distributed to the City to assist in funding a portion of the pre-1977 Police & Fire Pension liabilities. This represents <br />an amount estimated the State Treasurer. <br />f - An interfund transfer from the General Fund is not necessary to cover additional costs in this fund due to the fact that the curtent level <br />of funding is adequate to cover projected and future pension payments. (see footnotes below) <br />g -This increase reflects the Firefighters First Class salary at $33,850 for 2003, a 4.05 % increase over the $32,534 salary for 2002. <br />All pension payments are calculated using the current year's Firefighters First Class salary as a base. <br />h -Reflects the change in the anticipated pension payments after taking into account the reduction of the pension rolls due to the death of widows. <br />i -This amount represents an estimated amount of pension payments for firefighters that are eligible and actually do retire during 2003. <br />The total amount of pension payments that would be due if all eligible firefighters actually did retire as of 1/1/02 would be an additional <br />$945,096 for the full year. The impact of this "worst case scenario" is detailed below. <br />Active Firefighters eligible to retire under the 1937 Plan 219,348 <br />Alive Firefighters eligible to retire under the 1977 Plan 900,748 <br />Total Active Firefighters eligible to retire as of 1/1/03 1,120,096 <br />Amount included in 2003 Budget Expenditures (175,000) <br />Shortfall in this fund if "worse case scenario" occurred 945,096 <br />Fire Pension Fund Cash Balance as of 12/31/01 2,275,239 <br />2002 Projection (Deficit)/Surplus (see above) 43,430 <br />Projected Fire Pension Fund Cash Balance as of 12/31/02 2,318,669 <br />2003 Budget Fund (Deficit)/Surplus (see above) (356,097) <br />Projected Fire Pension Fund Cash Balance as of 12/31/03 1,919,142 <br />Additional pension payments assuming "worse case scenario" (945,096) <br />Cash shortfall in this fund if "worse case scenario" occurced 974,046 <br />
