PUBLIC HOUSING AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SAINT PAUL
REPORT TO COMMISSIONERS
REGARDING PensionPlanRestatement
FROM JON M.GUTZMANN
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
DATE September 24, 2003
Staff and the Pension Administrative Committee of the HRA/PHA Pension Plan recommend that
the PHA Board adopt Resolurion 03-09/24-01, approving a restatement of the Pension Plan of
the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Saint Paul, Minnesota. The
Administrative Committee is also asking the Saint Paul City Council to approve the restatement.
The Administrative Committee and their legal counsel recommend that the restatement be
"generally effective as of January 1, 2002" (except as noted otherwise in the document),
corresponding to legislation which was effective on that date.
The Public Housing Agency and the City of Saint Paul are the sponsors of the HRA/PHA
Pension Plan. This "defined contribution" pension plan dates back to the era when the public
housing program was part of the City's Housing and Redevelopment Authority. In 1977, when
the PHA became a separate legal entity and the HRA remained with the City of Saint Pau1,
public housing employees who transfened to employment with the City were permitted to
continue in the HRA/PHA Pension Plan. Sixteen active City employees are still participants in
the Plan. Participation is mandatory for 248 eligible PHA employees. This includes certain
temporary employees and staff who are on family medical leave or leave-without-pay status.
The plan also maintains accounts for approximately 17 retired City and 92 retired, terminated, or
laid off PHA employees. These 373 participants have a total of $27.5 million invested through
the plan. This makes our plan a"mid-size plan" in the pension world.

PENSION PLAN RESTATEMENT
PAGE 2 of 3
The HRA/PHA Pension Plan is govemed by the five members of the Administrative Committee,
who also serve as the trustees for the Pension Trust Fund. The PHA Boazd of Commissioners
appoints three members of the committee, as follows:
1. One person selected by the Board; currently Junella Pichelman, the PHA's Controller;
2. One representative elected by the PHA's "Administrative Office Employees" (S&C and
AFSCME); currently Mike McMurray, the PHA's Human Resources Directar; and
3. One representative selected by agreement between Loca170, Operating Engineers and
Local 132, Conshuction and General Laborers; currently Tom Besaw, Local 132's
business agent.
The Saint Paul City Council appoints the other two members of the Administrative Committee,
one of whom is elected by the City employees who participate in the pension plan.
The Pension Administrative Committee contracts with Principal Financial Group to administer
participants' inveshnents. Participants can track their inveshnents as well as make changes on a
daily basis on the Internet or using an automated phone system.
The pension plan document was restated in 1983, amended in 1989, and restated again in 2000.
Since that time changes in the Internal Revenue Code have resulted in some minor changes in the
plan. The legal counsel for Principal and special counsel from Oppenheimer Wolff & Donnelly
retained by the pension plan Board of Trustees reviewed the pension plan and prepared the
attached Restatement, Amendment and Resolution. The intent of the revisions is to conform the
plan document to the existing Internal Revenue Code rules and regulations. The amendment is
necessary to make the plan comply with II2S rules regarding the use of forfeitures. This
restatement and amendment will enable the plan to go through the Voluntary Compliance

For this purpose, any Excess Amount applied under (e) and (k) below in the Limitation Year to
reduce Contributions shall be considered Annual Additions for such Limitation Year.
Compensation means Compensation as defined in the DEFINITION SECTION of Article I.
For purposes of applying the limitations of this section, Compensation for a Limitation Year is the
Compensation actually paid or made available in gross income during such Limitation Year.
For Limitation Years beginning after December 31, 1997, for purposes of applying the limitations
of this section, Compensation paid or made available during such Limitation Year shall include any
elective deferral (as defined in Code Section 402(g)(3)), and any amount which is contributed or
deferred by the Administrative Committee at the election of the Employee and which is not

Limitation Years beginning on and after January'I, 2001, Compensation paid or made available
RESTATEMENT JANUARY 1, 2002 17 ARTICLE III (6-"10089) -5

Excess Amount means the excess of the Participant"s Annual Additions for the Limitation Year
over the Maximum Permissible Amount.
Limitation Year means the consecutive '12-month period ending on the last day of each Plan
Year, including corresponding consecutive 12-month periods before January 1, 1974. If the
Limitation Year is other than the calendar year, execution of this Plan (or any amendment to this
Plan changing the Limitation Year) constitutes the Administrative Committee's adoption of a
written resolution electing the Limitation Year. If the Limitation Year is amended to a different
consecutive 12-month period, the new Limitation Year must begin on a date within the
Limitation Year in which the amendment is made.
Maximum Permissible Amount means the maximum Annual Addition that may be contributed or
allocated to a ParticipanYs Account under the Plan for any Limitation Year. This amount shall
not exceed the lesser of:
(1)
(Z)
The Defined Contribution Dollar Limitation, or
100 percent (25 percent before January 1, 2002) of the Participant's Compensation for the
Limitation Year.
If a short Limitation Year is created because of an amendment changing the Limitation Year to a
different consecutive "12-month period, the Maximum Permissible Amount will not exceed the
Defined Contribution Dollar Limitation multiplied by the following fraction:
Number of months in the short Limitation Year
12
Projected Annual Benefit means the annual retirement benefit (adjusted to an actuarially
equivalent straight life annuity if such benefit is expressed in a form Uher than a straight life
annuity or qualified joint and survivor annuity) to which the Participant would be entitled under the
terms of the plan assuming:
(1) the Participant will continue employment until normal retirement age under the plan (or
current age, if later), and
(2) the Participant's Compensation for the current Limitation Year and all other relevant factors
used to determine benefits under the Plan will remain constant for all future Limitation
Years.
(b) If the Participant does not participate in, and has never participaTed in, another qualified plan
maintained by the Administrative Committee or a simplified employee pension, as defined in Code
Section 408(k), maintained by the Administrative Committee, which provides an Annual Addition,
RESTATEMENT JANUARY 1, 2002 18 ARTICLE III (6-10089) -5
D 3 - 9?,s
the amount of Annual Additions which may be credited to the Participant's Account for any
Limitation Year shall not exceed the lesser of the Maximum Permissible Amount or any other
limitaiion contained in this Plan. If the Employer Contribution that would otherwise be contributed
or allocated to the Participant's Account would cause the Annual Additions for the Limitation Year
to exceed the Maximum Permissible Amount, the amount contributed or allocated shall be
reduced so that the Annual Additions for the Limitation Year will equal the Maximum Permissible
Amount.
(c) Prior to determining the ParticipanYs actual Compensation for the Limitation Year, the
Administrative Committee may determine the Maximum Permissible Amount for a Participant on
the basis of a reasonable estimation of the Participant's Compensation for the Limitation Year,
uniformly determined for all Participants similarly situated.
(d) As soon as is administratively feasible after the end of the Limitation Year, the Maximum
Permissible Amount for the Limitation Year will be determined on the basis of the Participant's
actual Compensation for the Limitation Year.
(e) If as a result of a reasonable error in estimating a Participant's Compensation for the Limitation
Year or under other facts and circumstances allowed by the Internal Revenue Service, there is
an Excess Amount, the excess will be disposed of as follows:
(1) Any nondeductible Voluntary Contributions (plus attributable earnings), to the extent they
would reduce the Excess Amount, will be returned (distributed, in the case of earnings) to
the Participant.
(2) If after the application of (1) above an Excess Amount still exists, and the Participant is
covered by the Plan at the end of the LimiYation Year, the Excess Amount in the
Participant's Account will be used to reduce Contributions for such Participant in the next
Limitation Year, and each succeeding Limitation Year if necessary.
(3) If after the application of ('I) above an Excess Amount still exists, and the Participant is
not covered by the Plan at the end of the Limitation Year, the Excess Amount will be held
unallocated in a suspense account. The suspense account will be applied to reduce
future Contributions for all remaining Participants in the next Limitation Year, and each
succeeding Limitation Year if necessary.
(4) If a suspense account is in existence at any time during a Limitation Year pursuant to this
(e), it will participate in the allocation of investment gains or losses. If a suspense
account is in existence at any time during a particular Limitation Year, all amounts in the
suspense account must be allocated and reallocated to Participant's Accounts before any
Contributions or any Participant Contributions may be made to the Plan for that Limitation
Year. Excess Amounts held in a suspense account may not be distributed to Participants
or former Participants.
(f) This (f� applies if, in addition to this Plan, the Participant is covered under another qualified
defined contribution plan maintained by the Employer or a simplified employee pension
maintained by the Employer which provides an Annual Addition during any Limitation Year. The
Annual Additions which may be credited to a Participant's Account under this Plan for any such
RESTATEMENT JANUARY "I, 2002 19 ARTICLE III (6-10059) -5
�3 - 9zs
Limitation Year will noT exceed the Maximum Permissible Amount, reduced by the Annual
Additions credited to a Participant's account under the other qualified defined contribution plans
and simplified employee pensions for the same Limitation Year. If the Annual Additions with
respect to the Participant under other qualified defined contribution plans and simplified
employee pensions maintained by the Administrative Committee are less than the Maximum
Permissible Amount, and the Employer Contribution that would otherwise te contributed or
allocated to the Participant's Account under this Plan would cause the Annual Additions for the
Limitation Year to exceed this limitation, the amount contributed or allocated will be reduced so
that the Annual Additions under all such plans and funds for the Limitation Year will equal the
Maximum Permissible Amount. If the Annual Additions with respect to the Participant under
such other qualified defined contribution plans and simplified employee pensions in the
aggregate are equal to or greater than the Maximum Permissible Amount, no amount will be
contributed or allocated to the Participant's Account under this Plan for the Limitation Year.
(g) Prior to determining the Participant's actual Compensation for the Limitation Year, the
Administrative Committee may determine the Maximum Permissible Amount for a Participant in
the manner described in (c) above.
(h) As soon as administratively feasible after the end of the Limitation Year, the Maximum Permissible
Amount for the Limitation Year will be determined on the basis of the Participant's actual
Compensation for the Limitation Year.
(i) If pursuant to (h) above or as a result of the allocation of forfeitures or as a result of a reasonable
error in determining the amount of elective deferrals (within the meaning of Code Section
402(g)(3)) that may be made with respect to any individual under the limits of Code Section 415,
a Participant's Annual Additions under this Plan and such other plans would result in an Excess
Amount for a Limitation Year, the Excess Amount will be deemed to consist of the Annual
Additions last allocated, except that Annual Additions attributable to a simplified employee
pension will be deemed to have been allocated first, regardless of the actual allocation date.
�j) If an Excess Amount was allocated to a Participant on an allocation date of this Plan which
coinades with an allocation date of another plan, the Excess Amount attributed to this Plan will
be the product of:
(1) the total Excess Amount allocated as of such date, times
(2) the ratio of (i) the Annual Addition allocated to the Participant for the Limitation Year as of
such date under this Plan to (ii) the total Annual Additions allocated to the Participant for
the Limitation Year as of such date under this and all other qualified defined contribution
plans.
(k) Any Excess Amount attributed to this Plan will be disposed of in the manner described in (e)
above.
(I) The Annual Additions limitation for an individual who is a participant in both a defined benefit plan
and a defined contribution plan maintained by the same Employer, as described in Code Section
415(e), ceased to be effective under the Plan for limitation years beginning after December 31,
