Substantially all <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Airport</strong>’s employees are covered under the <strong>City</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Denver</strong>’s pension plan, the<br />

<strong>Denver</strong> Employees Retirement Plan.<br />

Plan Description<br />

The following are brief descriptions <strong>of</strong> the retirement plan. Plan participants should refer to the appropriate source<br />

documents or publicly available financial reports for more complete information on the plans.<br />

The <strong>Denver</strong> Employees Retirement Plan (DERP) is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit plan established<br />

by the <strong>City</strong> to provide pension <strong>and</strong> post-retirement health benefits for its employees. The DERP is administered by the<br />

DERP Retirement Board in accordance with sections 18-401 through 18-430.7 <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong>’s Revised <strong>Municipal</strong> Code.<br />

Amendments to the plan are made by ordinance. These Code sections establish the plan, provide complete information<br />

on the DERP, <strong>and</strong> vests the authority for the benefit <strong>and</strong> contribution provisions with the <strong>City</strong> Council. The DERP<br />

Retirement Board acts as the trustee <strong>of</strong> the plan’s assets. As <strong>of</strong> January 1, 2010, the date <strong>of</strong> the last actuarial valuation,<br />

the plan was underfunded; however, there is no Net Pension Obligation reported because the actuarial valuation<br />

adjusts contributions in the ensuing year to fully fund the Plan. The Board monitors the Plan continually to ensure an<br />

appropriate level <strong>of</strong> funding.<br />

The plan issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements <strong>and</strong> required supplementary<br />

information <strong>of</strong> that plan. Those reports are available by contacting:<br />
