Fire Reimbursement revenue ($1 million). Act 51 Gas/Weight tax revenue ($4.8 million) – Governor looking to re-task some existing money towards high-speed communication infrastructure, Special Message coming soon. Total at risk: roughly $10 million/year, realistically could represent a $2 - $5 million/year additional resource elimination as early as FY 2012 and/or FY 2013.

10. EARLY RETIREMENT EVOLUTION 2009: Not seen as feasible given the deteriorated state of the Pension System. 2010: A modest program similar to one offered by Western Michigan University (cash incentives for those already eligible for retirement) was evaluated and found to be of marginal value. 2011: In April, when the 1 st Quarter Report revealed that the projected structural deficit had grown from $4 million to $6 million, a more robust version of ERI began to be studied that would help to close the larger gap, and to avoid mass layoffs. This was based on early retirement offerings by the City of Lansing and the State of Michigan. Eligibility was progressively enhanced until the program was scaled appropriately for the need.

11. THE “BUSINESS DEAL” FOR EARLY RETIREMENT Costs (Net Present Value): –Pension System: -$8.3M Liability –Operating Funds: -$4.4M –Total: -$12.7M Benefits (Net Present Value): –Pension System: +$8.3M Normal Cost –Operating Funds: +$60M Net Present Value Results: –Pension System: No Change –Operating Funds: +$55M The actuaries (Gabriel Roeder Smith) prepared the study of the financial impacts on the Pension System based on assumptions developed by City Staff. Key representatives of the City’s Retirement Investment Committee (RIC) have reviewed the City’s proposed Early Retirement program and have indicated that it appears to be a prudent design.
