He explained that in Fiscal Year 2020 the expected contribution to the pension fund is $4,845,455 which is a ten and a half percent over the Fiscal Year 2019 actual contribution. He explained the increase and noted a key point that in 2029 the plan is expected to be fully funded and pension costs will be mostly the normal cost. If the plan was fully funded today the normal cost for Select Board Meeting Minutes February 6, 2019 Fiscal Year 2020 would be approximately $500,000 to $750,000. Mr. Schoonveld then discussed OPEB - Other Post Employment Benefits and stated that like many towns throughout Massachusetts the liability has not been prefunded here in Mansfield. Mr. Schoonveld stated that over the next ten years our budget should not be significally impacted, but after that point it could. He believes the Town should begin to increase the prefunded amount each year, especially with the savings in the budget for health insurance. Chairman Trowbridge stated that placing more into OPEB may cause a strain on the current budget. Mr. Aptowitz commented that if the market crashes it could cause a huge problem because retirees have to be paid their pension amounts. Mr. DelVecchio stated that it is important to institutionalize this plan so that this pre -funding continues. 7.
