CITY OF PARIS, TEXAS <br />Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) <br />September 30, 2025 <br />IV. Detailed, Notes_ on All Activities and Funds, (Continued) <br />F. Employee Retirement Systems and Plans (Continued) <br />1. Texas Municipal Retirement System (Continued) <br />Net Pension Liability <br />The City's Net Pension Liability was measured as of December 31, 2024, and the Total Pension Liability <br />(TPL) used to calculate the Net Pension Liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. <br />Actuarial As smltions <br />„ <br />The Total Pension Liability in the December 31, 2024, actuarial valuation was determined using the <br />following actuarial assumptions: <br />Inflation 2.5% per year <br />Overall Payroll Growth 3.6% to 11.85%, including inflation. <br />Investment Rate of Return 6.75% <br />Salary increases were based on a service -related table. For calculating the actuarial liability and the <br />retirement contribution rates, the gender -distinct 2019 Municipal Retirees of Texas mortality tables are <br />used. Male rates are multiplied by 103% and female rates are multiplied by 105%. The rates are projected <br />on a fully generational basis by the most recent Scale MP -2021 (with immediate convergence) to account <br />for future mortality improvements. Based on the size of the city, rates are multiplied by an additional factor <br />of 100%. For disabled annuitants, the mortality tables for healthy retirees are used with a 4 -year set - <br />forward for males and a 3 -year set -forward for females. In addition, a 3.5% and 3% minimum mortality <br />rate is applied to reflect the impairment for younger members who become disabled for males and females, <br />respectively. The rates are projected on a fluty generational basis by the most recent Scale MP -2021 (with <br />immediate convergence) to account for future mortality improvements subject to the 3.5% and 3% floor. <br />The actuarial assumptions were developed primarily from the actuarial investigation of the experience of <br />TMRS as of December 31, 2022. They were adopted in 2023 and first used in the December 31, 2023, <br />actuarial valuation. <br />The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments is 6.75%. The pension plan's policy in <br />regard to the allocation of invested assets is established and may be amended by the TMRS Board of <br />Trustees. Plan assets are managed on a total return basis with an emphasis on both capital appreciation and <br />the production of income, in order to satisfy the short-term and long-term funding needs of TMRS. <br />53 <br />
