PART XIII, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:DECREASE IN BENEFIT PLAN OBLIGATIONS 81,663,007.
THE POST RETIREMENT BENEFIT OBLIGATION DECREASED 49.2 PERCENT FROM JANUARY 1, 2011 TO JANUARY 1, 2012. THE DECREASE WAS CAUSED BY SEVERAL FACTORS: AN UNEXPECTED CHANGE TO THE MEMBERSHIP BETWEEN THE LAST FULL CENSUS ON JANUARY 1 2010 AND THE CURRENT JANUARY 1, 2012 MEASUREMENT DATE; NEW RETIREES DID NOT ELECT COVERAGE AT THE RATE PREVIOUSLY ASSUMED; AND THE PARTICIPATION ASSUMPTION WAS CHANGED TO BETTER MATCH RECENT EXPERIENCE.
