This dataset contains information about the financial stability of the City of Austin's employees' retirement systems, including the City of Austin Employees' Retirement System (COAERS), the Austin Firefighters Retirement System (AFRS), and the Austin Police Retirement System (APRS). It uses the total funded ratio, which is equal to the total actuarial value of assets as a percentage of the total actuarial accrued liability. This data supports the SD23 measure GTQ.A.6. Having a funded ratio of below 80% could potentially impact credit rating agencies' evaluation of the City's pension liabilities, so this ratio is important to measure through annual actuarial valuation reports for all three retirement systems.

This dataset contains information about the annual Adopted Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Tax Rate as a Percentage of the Effective O&M Tax Rate for the same fiscal year (SD23 measure GTW.A.3).

The effective O&M tax rate is the tax rate that would produce the same amount of taxes as the previous year if applied to the same properties taxed in the previous year that are still on the tax roll. A percentage higher than 100% indicates the adopted O&M tax rate is higher than the effective O&M tax rate, whereas a percentage lower than 100% indicates the adopted O&M tax rate is lower than the effective O&M tax rate. This data is used for budget planning and review purposes.
