4. The actuarial present value of a retired member's benefits shall be placed in a reserve account designated as a "Retired Lives Reserve". The value of the retired lives reserve shall be increased by the actuarial present value of retiring members' benefits, and by the interest earning of the total fund on a pro rata basis and it shall be decreased by payments to retired members and their survivors. Each year the actuary shall compare the actuarial present value of retired members' benefits with the retired lives reserve. If the value of the retired lives reserve plus one year's interest at the assumed rate of interest exceeds the actuarial present value of retired lives, then distribution of this excess may be made equally to all retired members, or their eligible survivors. The distribution may be in a single sum or in monthly payments at the discretion of the board on the advice of the actuary.
