CITIZEN COMMENTS:
1. Citizen that sent the flyer to vote no for the fire dept special assessment said we should put the fire
department first.
2. Citizen mentioned that special assessment didn’t pass because the money the township is spending on
the construction should go to the fire department.
3. Citizen wondered why the needs for the fire department were not put b4 the needs of the township clerk.
4. Citizen piggybacked on previous statements.
5. Citizen said he was irked because Supervisor would give an interview but wouldn’t talk to the residents
about the construction project.
6. Citizen upset because she wanted all the ARPA money spent on the fire department.
7. Citizen asked after the last tornado storm, why the tornado air warning sirens aren’t used anymore.
8. Citizen said that due to the times when we all have to tighten our belts, the township should have
prepared better for paying for the new fire department instead of asking the people for the money to do
so.
9. Citizen mentioned that fire department needs are the most important thing and we should use the money
for that instead of a construction project at the township hall.
10. Citizen mentioned that she and her husband have used the fire department before and that the fire
department should get the money and the township hall project shouldn’t happen.

INTRODUCTION AND CERTIFICATION
The schedules included in this report have been prepared in order to provide the information
necessary to comply with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement Nos. 74 and
75. This information may, at the discretion of management of the pla n sponsor and its auditor, be
used for the preparation of its financial statements. The calculations herein have been made based
on our understanding of GASB 74 and 75 and may be inappropriate for other purposes.
The calculations summarized in this report involve actuarial calculations that require assumptions
about future events. We believe that the assumptions used in the report are within the range of
possible assumptions that are reasonable and appropriate for the purposes for which they have been
used. However, other assumptions are also reasonable and appropriate, and their use would produce
different results.
This report contains additional information and details related to plan provisions and recommended
contribution calculations.
This report was prepared based on participant data and asset values as reported to us by the plan
sponsor. Watkins Ross relied upon the data as submitted, and has no reason to believe that any
information, which would have a material effect on the results of this va luation, was not considered
in the preparation of the report.
The actuary certifying this report represents herself as meeting the Qualification Standards of the
American Academy of Actuaries to render actuarial opinions contained in the report.

COMMENTS
Purpose of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Reporting
The objective of GASB is to provide guidelines and requirements for accounting and financial reporting by state
and local governments for postemployment benefits other than pensions (OPEB). This statement establishes
standards for recognizing and measuring liabilities, deferred inflows and outflows of resources and methods
and assumptions that are required to be used to project benefit payments and discount those payments to
their actuarial present value.
State of Michigan Public Act 202
Public Act 202 (PA 202) was drafted to address the underfunded status of pension and retiree healthcare plans
of local governments in Michigan. Accordingly, PA 202 included transparency and funding requirements. In
addition, in order that the plans’ funded status be reported on a consistent basis, Uniform Assumptions were
published. While all of the Uniform Assumptions have a sound and reasonable basis, some might not be
appropriate for each plan and therefore may be different than what is used for funding. Additionally, some of
the assumptions may differ from what is required for reporting under GASB.
PA 202 further requires that plans covering 100 or more Plan Members – active and inactive:
1. At least every 5 years, the local unit of government (city, village, township, county, county road
commission or other districts, authorities created by the state or 1 or more these entities) shall have
an actuarial experience study conducted by the plan actuary for each retirement system of the local
unit of government and
2. At least every 8 years, the local unit of government shall do at least 1 of the following:
a. Have a peer actuarial audit conducted by an actuary that is not the plan actuary
b. Replace the plan actuary
Actuarial Experience Study: Not applicable; the plan has fewer than 100 members
Changes in Actuarial Assumptions, Plan Changes and Expected Actuarial Experience
There was an actuarial loss (increase in liability) of $44, due to the retiree benefit payments being slightly
higher than projected. The combination of actuarial assumption changes, described in the “Assumptions and
Methods for Calculation of Actuarially Determined Contribution” section of this report, generated an actuarial
gain of $2,527.

PLAN DESCRIPTION
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
For purposes of measuring the net Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) liability, deferred outflows of
resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expenses, information about the
fiduciary net position of the Cooper Charter Township Retiree Medical Plan and additions to/deductions from
the Township’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the
Cooper Charter Township. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions)
are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair
value.
Plan Description
Cooper Charter Township Retiree Medical Plan is a single employer plan established and administered by
Cooper Charter Township and can be amended at its discretion.
Benefits Provided
A summary of the benefits provided is available in the Plan Provisions section of the report.
Summary of Plan Participants
As of March 31, 2022, Retirement Plan membership consisted of the following:
Active members 0
Inactive members 2
Retirees and beneficiaries 0
Total members 2
Contributions
The Cooper Charter Township Retiree Medical Plan was established and is being funded under the authority
of the Township and under agreements with unions representing various classes of employees. The plan is
fully funded, and no further contributions are required. Currently, benefit payments are made from general
operating funds, but we recommend that future benefit payments be made from the trust.

ASSUMPTIONS AND METHODS
The Cooper Charter Township’s OPEB liability was measured as of March 31, 2023.
Actuarial Assumptions
The total OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of March 31, 2022 rolled forward to March
31, 2023. The following actuarial assumptions were used in the measurement:
Inflation Included in investment rate of return
Salary increases Not applicable; all participants are retired
Investment rate of return 7.45% (including inflation)
20-year Aa Municipal bond rate 4.05%
Mortality Public General 2010 Healthy Retiree, Headcount weighted
Improvement Scale MP-2021
The long-term expected rate of return on retirement plan investments was determined using a building-block
method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of
retirement plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are
combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of
return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. Best estimates of arithmetic
real rates of return for each major asset class included in the retirement plan’s target asset allocation are
summarized in the following table:
Asset Class Target Allocation
Long-Term Expected
Rate of Return
Global Equity 64.0% 9.00%
Global Fixed Income 26.0% 4.70%
Real Assets 5.0% 6.40%
Diversifying Strategies 5.0% 3.00%
The sum of each target allocation times its long-term expected real rate, plus inflation, is 7.45%.
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 7.45%. The projection of cash flows used to
determine the discount rate assumed that the Township will use assets to pay benefits and make no further
contributions to the trust. Based on this assumption, the retirement plan’s fiduciary net position was projected
to be sufficient to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. For projected benefits
that are covered by projected assets, the long-term expected rate was used to discount the projected
benefits. From the year that benefit payments were not projected to be covered by the projected assets (the
“depletion date”, not applicable for this plan), projected benefits were discounted at a discount rate reflecting
a 20-year AA/Aa tax-exempt municipal bond yield. A single equivalent discount rate that yields the same
present value of benefits is calculated. This discount rate is used to determine the Total OPEB Liability. As of
March 31, 2022 the discount rate used to value OPEB liabilities was 7.00%.

GLOSSARY
A number of special terms and concepts are used in connection with OPEB plans and the OPEB accounting
report. The following list reviews a number of these terms and provides a brief discussion of their meaning.
Actuarially Determined Contribution (ADC) – A target or recommended contribution for the reporting period,
determined in conformity with Actuarial Standards of Practice based on the most recent measurement
available when the contribution for the reporting period was adopted.
Actuarial Cost Method – This is a mathematical formula which is used to allocate the present value of projected
benefits to past and future plan years.
Amortization – The difference between actual and expected investment returns, the difference between
actual and expected experience, and the impact of any plan or assumption changes will be amortized and paid
over future years.
Depletion Date (Cross-over Point) – The projected date (if any) where plan assets, including future
contributions, are no longer sufficient to pay Projected Benefit Payments to current members.
Long-term expected rate of return – The rate of return based on the nature and mix of current and expected
plan investments and over the time period from when an employee is hired to when all benefits to the
employee have been paid.
Market Value of Assets – The market value of all assets in the fund including any accrued contribution for the
previous plan year, which was not paid by the end of the year.
Measurement Date – The date the Total OPEB Liability, Fiduciary Net Position, and Net OPEB Liability are
determined.
Net OPEB Liability (NOL) – The Total OPEB Liability less the Plan Fiduciary Net Position.
Normal Cost – For GASB 74/75 purposes, normal cost is the equivalent of service cost (see definition of service
cost).
Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) – Benefits (such as death benefits, life insurance, disability, and long-
term care) that are paid in the period after employment and that are provided separately from a pension plan,
as well as healthcare benefits paid in the period after employment, regardless of the manner in which they are
provided. OPEB does not include termination benefits or termination payments for sick leave.
OPEB Expense (OE) – The change in the Net OPEB Liability (NOL) recognized in the current measurement
period. Changes to the NOL not fully recognized in a given year’s OPEB expense will be maintained as deferred
inflows and deferred outflows. These will be recognized incrementally in the OPEB expense over time.
16
GLOSSARY
Plan assets – Stocks, bonds and other investments that have been segregated and restricted (usually in a trust)
to provide for post-retirement benefits. Assets not segregated in a trust, or otherwise effectively restricted so
that they cannot be used by the employer for other purposes, are not plan assets, even though it may be
intended that those assets be used to provide post-retirement benefits.
Plan Fiduciary Net Position – The market value of plan assets as of the measurement date.
Present Value – The present value of a future payment or a series of payments is the amount of each payment,
discounted to recognize the time value of money, and further reduced for the probability that the payment
might not be made because of death, disability or termination of employment.
Projected Benefit Payments – All benefits projected to be payable to current active and inactive participants
as a result of their past service and their expected future service.
Real Rate of Return – The rate of return on an investment after the adjustment to eliminate inflation.
Reporting Date – The date that represents the fiscal year end for the plan or employer.
Service Cost – The value of portion of Total OPEB Liability earned during the current year computed in
accordance with GAAP accounting rules.
Single Equivalent Discount Rate – The single rate that gives the same total present value as discounting the
Projected Benefit Payments with the long-term expected rate of return until the Depletion Date and
discounting any remaining Projected Benefit Payments with the yield on a 20-year AA/Aa tax-exempt municipal
bond index.
Total OPEB Liability (TOL) – The actuarial present value of the accrued benefit determined under the Entry Age
actuarial cost method calculated using the blended Single Equivalent Discount Rate.
Valuation Date – The date as of which an actuarial valuation is performed.

Every year, hundreds of new legislative bills emerge that impact township government and your communities. These
originate from special interest groups directly attacking your township's authority. Can you imagine if our townships had
no voice to counteract these threats? Through the efforts of your MTA Government Relations team, nearly 95% of such
harmful legislation has been prevented or mitigated in recent legislative sessions. Proactively, they also work to successfully
achieve objectives from the member -approved MTA Policy Platform. The dues also cover MTA's membership in our national
association, the National Association of Towns and Townships. The DC team was directly responsible for simplifying the
American Rescue Plan Act fund usage and reporting.
Again this year, nearly every township called or emailed our experts to get difficult questions answered. Others consulted
with their peers on the Community Connection forum or read up on them in the MTA Answer Center. Our MTA Annual
Conference and Expo brought more than 1,500 people together this year. Please budget now to send your township's
delegation next April 22-25, when we'll return to Traverse City.
You may also wish to consider taking our MTA Online annual subscription program. This is a very cost-effective way for every
member of your township team to learn at the time and place of their choosing, without travel and lodging expense. This
year, we've added nearly 50 more hours of new online training choices to a very broad catalog.
Over the coming year, the MTA Legal Defense Fund will continue to track and pursue cases with statewide importance to
townships. The "dark stores" and other tax issues, planning and zoning, right-of-way, financial and other emerging issues
continue as priorities. Your township's contribution to the fund helps us argue on behalf of townships' interests and to
participate in major cases each year. The current cases and results are reported regularly in Township Focus and our online
communications.
We thank you for supporting strong township government, for your own leadership and joining in MTA's collaborative work for
Michigan and our future.

Subject: North 19th St.
As you may be aware, the river has eroded the bank and subsequently
the road has been impacted and caved in as well. The RCKC closed the
road immediately when this occurred.
I have met with the residents that are impacted, EGLE, RCKC, and the
DNR to see if there is any funding available to engineer and repair this
issue.
I continue to attend the RCKC meetings and to meet with the above
agencies and Senator McCaan to turn over every stone to get this done.
I also have made it clear that Cooper Township doesn’t collect road
millage and cannot fund the repairs for this road . I would be open to
the Township participating in the partial cost of engineering on this
project only if the project is funded by other sources, i.e. KCRC, EGLE,
DNR, and residents.
Please contact me with any questions.
