Municipal Employees’ Retirement System
June 18, 2025
Enclosed, please find a copy of the Annual Comprehensive Financial
Report (ACFR) for the Municipal Employees’ Retirement System (MERS) of Michigan
for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, pursuant to MCL 38.1536.
MERS is an independent, non-profit professional retirement services
company created to administer retirement plans for local units of government
across Michigan.
MERS proudly serves 1,053 municipalities across the Michigan—from the
wester Upper Peninsula to Wayne County—encompassing over 200,000 accounts,
representing police officers and firefighters, road crews and medical staff,
librarians, clerks, and countless other public servants who protect and serve
the communities we call home.
Managing more than $17 billion in total assets, our mission is to
partner with those who serve Michigan communities to provide retirement
benefits and related services to support a secure retirement. We provide
expertise and services to help municipalities big and small keep their
retirement promises. The MERS Defined Benefit Portfolio experienced solid
investment returns recording an investment gain of 7.55% based on gross rate of
return outperforming our actuarial assumed rate of return of 6.93%. MERS also
continues to offer a broad range of flexible and customizable plans to fit
different budgets and goals.
Since benefits
are determined at the local level, our role as the plan fiduciary is to ensure
that each municipality’s assets are adequate to provide for the benefits that
have been promised, and that each plan is making reasonable progress to achieve
full funding. In fact, the majority of our customers have taken additional steps to reduce unfunded liabilities
by implementing plan design changes and/or funding strategies.
MERS
leadership is committed to fairness, transparency and accountability, and has a
deep understanding of fiscal best practices. We work closely with municipal
leaders and staff to help bring transparency and fiscal best practices to their
plans.
MERS policies
are in alignment with Public Act 202 of 2017 (PA 202) best practices, including
conducting an actuarial experience study at least every five years, with a peer
actuarial audit or rotation of actuaries at least every eight years. MERS has
also led policy efforts by instituting a fixed amortization policy, developed a
tax-exempt trust to pre-fund OPEB liabilities and continues to offer innovative
plan designs in an effort to assist local units in addressing unfunded
liability concerns while offering competitive benefits.
We are proud
of the fact that the vast majority of plans have taken proactive steps to
achieve full funding. We will continue to assist MERS customers with reporting
for PA 202, as well as completing and implementing Corrective Action Plans
(CAP), as needed.
The team at
MERS is made up of top industry experts who apply fiscal best practices to give
members peace of mind and security in their retirement. We also stand ready to
serve as a resource for state leaders and policy makers as they examine and
address public policy affecting retirement and unfunded liability.
If you have
any questions concerning this report, please contact me. The report can also be
found on our website at www.mersofmich.com.

Kerrie Vanden Bosch
Chief Executive Officer

The Senate agreed to the title of the bill.
Senator Albert asked and was granted unanimous
consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the
Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Albert’s
statement is as follows:
I would like
to thank the Senator from the 19th District for his willingness to work together
on this bipartisan proposal to help improve the safety of those at the greatest
risk on our roadways in Michigan.
The need for
this legislation is glaringly apparent. While the overall number of traffic
crashes and fatalities in Michigan declined slightly in 2023, the number of
crashes involving vulnerable roadway users, such as bicyclists and pedestrians,
increased by at least 10 percent, according to Michigan State Police
statistics. This legislation includes a simplified and more comprehensive “move
over” law to better protect everyone. The state’s “move over” law would apply
any time to any vehicle that is pulled over with its lights flashing. I believe
we need better enforcement of the “move over” law. A much-needed first step is
to make it easier to understand, follow, and communicate publicly.
My involvement
in this issue came as a result of a meeting with the family of Keagan Spencer,
a young tow truck driver who was killed on the M-6 Highway in 2023. There have
been many other tragic incidents across our state involving those at greater
risk on the road—including law enforcement, bicyclists, pedestrians, and people
just pulled over to try and change a tire. The Spencer family deserves a great
deal of credit and thanks for raising awareness about the need for change
related to traffic safety.
No single vote
or single piece of legislation is going to magically make our roads perfectly
safe. It will take a concerted effort from everyone to follow and enforce all
of our traffic laws, including distracted driving and other laws, but this vote
today is an important step in the right direction. I urge a “yes” vote on this
legislation.
The following bill was read a third time:
Senate
Bill No. 106, entitled
A bill to amend 1949 PA 300, entitled “Michigan
vehicle code,” (MCL 257.1 to 257.923) by adding section 811kk.

The Senate agreed to the title of the bill.
Senator Polehanki asked and was granted
unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed
in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Polehanki’s statement is as follows:
Senate Bill
No. 106 would create a specialty fundraising license plate in collaboration
with the Secretary of State and the Michigan Pet Alliance. Revenue from the
sale of this license plate would fund two critical purposes: Free or low-cost
spay and neuter services for low income pet owners and unowned community cats,
and training and education programs for employees and volunteers working in
Michigan’s animal shelters and rescue organizations.
Seven hundred
letters of support from animal lovers across Michigan were recorded with the
committee clerk, so this bill is not only popular, but it’s for a good cause. I
hope we can all vote “yes” today on Senate Bill No. 106.
The following bill was read a third time:
Senate
Bill No. 73, entitled
A bill to amend 1998 PA 58, entitled “Michigan

Resolutions
Senator
Singh moved that rule 3.204 be suspended to permit immediate consideration of
the following resolution:
Senate Resolution No. 61
The motion prevailed,
a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
Senators Shink, Chang and McMorrow offered the following resolution:
Senate Resolution No. 61.
A resolution to recognize June 29-July 5, 2025, as Aquatic Invasive Species Awareness Week.
Whereas, Early summer marks the beginning of water-related recreational activities in Michigan; and
Whereas, Our state and
economy are defined by the Great Lakes and depend on its great abundance of
fresh water for public water
supplies, manufacturing, tourism, fishing, agriculture, and numerous other
uses; and
Whereas, Preventing the
introduction and spread of aquatic invasive species ultimately benefits
Michigan; and
Whereas, Stopping the introduction and spread of these species would eliminate the need of our state, businesses, industry, and citizens from employing costly methods to control and manage them; and
Whereas, We are protecting the Great Lakes and our many
inland lakes and rivers from aquatic invasive species from a number of
pathways, including ballast water, canals and waterways, organisms in trade,
and recreational activities such as boating and angling; and
Whereas, Over 180 nonindigenous aquatic species are already established in the Great Lakes basin, many of which are displacing native species, disrupting habitats, and degrading natural, managed, and agricultural landscapes, resulting in millions of dollars for control efforts each year; and
Whereas, Michigan has over 900,000 registered boaters and many other recreational, commercial, and industrial users of over 11,000 inland lakes and over 76,000 miles of rivers and streams in the state, many of which are impacted by aquatic invasive species; and
Whereas, Bringing awareness is an important step toward behavior change, which prevents the introduction and spread of aquatic invasive species; and
Whereas, Aquatic Invasive Species Awareness Week is an opportunity for our government to join forces with businesses, industry, environmental groups, community organizations, citizens, and other Great Lakes states and provinces to take action against the introduction and spread of aquatic invasive species; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body recognize June 29-July 5, 2025, as Aquatic Invasive Species Awareness Week.
The question being on
the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was
adopted.
Senators Bayer and
Polehanki were named co-sponsors of the resolution.
Senator Shink asked
and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the
statement be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Shink’s statement is as follows:
Today, I rise in support of my resolution. Michigan’s lakes, rivers, and
streams are our most precious resources. They give us clean water to drink,
fish to eat, and a great place to recreate in the summer. The ecosystems they
host are vital to our state’s economy and its natural beauty. However, aquatic
invasive species—like zebra mussels and round gobies—can spread rapidly. Also,
sea lamprey are a problem. They disrupt our ecosystems, damage our
infrastructure, and hurt our outdoor recreation opportunities.
This resolution recognizes Michigan’s early detection programs, border
education, and watercraft inspection initiatives that help protect our waters
for us, our children, and our grandchildren. By recognizing June 29-July 5 as
Aquatic Invasive Species Awareness Week, we are making sure people know how
important it is to prevent introduction and further spread of aquatic invasive
species to our state. I welcome your support.
By unanimous consent
the Senate proceeded to the order of
Statements
Senator Bellino asked
and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the
statement be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Bellino’s statement is as follows:
Mr. President, I stand before you today not as a State Senator, but as a
proud American, grateful for strong leadership in a dangerous world. Over the
past few weeks, we have witnessed history unfold, and I want to take a moment
to commend President Donald J. Trump for his bold, decisive actions in defense
of our nation and our allies.
Iran crossed many red lines when they moved closer to developing a
nuclear weapon capable of threatening not just Israel but the entire civilized
world, and President Trump did not flinch. He acted. Through a targeted and
strategic operation, he disrupted Iran’s nuclear ambition without plunging us
into a ground war. That takes courage, that takes vision, and it is exactly the
kind of leadership we elected him for. But President Trump didn’t stop
there. He also led where others have failed for decades. He achieved what many
thought was impossible: an agreement with Iran and Israel. Peace through
strength is not just a slogan; it’s a doctrine that works. By showing resolve,
not weakness, and by drawing a line and standing firm, this administration
brought hostile actors to the table.
Let’s be clear, Mr. President, this is not about politics. This was
about protecting American lives, preserving peace, and preventing a
nuclear-armed Iran. Thanks to President Trump’s leadership, our soldiers are
safer, our allies are secure, and the world has taken one step back from the
brink. To our servicemen and women, thank you. To our allies in Israel, we
stand with you. And to the American people, rest assured that your government,
under President Donald J. Trump, is putting your safety and freedom first.
Now is not the time for hesitation. Now is the time to unite behind a
commander-in-chief who has proven he will defend this country, uphold peace
through strength, and never, never, never bow to tyranny. God bless our troops,
God bless our President, and God bless these United States.
