Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract] |
Pension and Other Benefits Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 18 - Pension and Other Benefits Defined Benefit Plans The Company maintains a frozen noncontributory pension plan covering employees of the Company prior to the Merger. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s compensation over the prior five-year period. The plan’s benefits are payable in the form of a ten year certain and life annuity. The plan is intended to be a tax-qualified defined benefit plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Payments may be made under the Pension Plan once attaining the normal retirement age of 65 and are generally equal to 44% of a participant’s highest average compensation over a 5-year period. The following table sets forth changes in projected benefit obligation, changes in fair value of plan assets, funded status, and amounts recognized in the consolidated statements of condition for the Company’s pension plans at December 31, 2015 and 2014.

The process of determining the overall expected long-term rate of return on plan assets begins with a review of appropriate investment data, including current yields on fixed income securities, historical investment data, historical plan performance and forecasts of inflation and future total returns for the various asset classes. This data forms the basis for the construction of a best-estimate range of real investment return for each asset class. An average, weighted real-return range is computed reflecting the plan’s expected asset mix, and that range, when combined with an expected inflation range, produces an overall best-estimate expected return range. Specific factors such as the plan’s investment policy, reinvestment risk and investment volatility are taken into consideration during the construction of the best estimate real return range, as well as in the selection of the final return assumption from within the range. Plan Assets The general investment policy of the Pension Trust is for the fund to experience growth in assets that will allow the market value to exceed the value of benefit obligations over time. The Company’s pension plan asset allocation as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, target allocation for 2016, and expected long-term rate of return by asset are as follows:
|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Weighted

Fair Value of Plan Assets The Company used the following valuation methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of assets held by the plan: Equity securities and real estate funds: The fair values for equity securities and real estate funds are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). Debt and fixed income securities: Certain debt securities are valued at the closing price reported in the active market in which the bond is traded (Level 1 inputs). Other debt securities are valued based upon recent bid prices or the average of recent bid and asked prices when available (Level 2 inputs) and, if not available, they are valued through matrix pricing models developed by sources considered by management to be reliable. Matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique commonly used to price debt securities that are not actively traded, values debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3). Discounted cash flows are calculated using spread to swap and LIBOR curves that are updated to incorporate loss severities, volatility, credit spread and optionality. During times when trading is more liquid, broker quotes are used (if available) to validate the model. Rating agency and industry research reports as well as defaults and deferrals on individual securities are reviewed and incorporated into the calculations. The investment manager is not authorized to purchase, acquire or otherwise hold certain types of market securities (subordinated bonds, real estate investment trusts, limited partnerships, naked puts, naked calls, stock index futures, oil, gas or mineral exploration ventures or unregistered securities) or to employ certain types of market techniques (margin purchases or short sales) or to mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, or in any manner transfer as security for indebtedness, any security owned or held by the Plan. Cash Flows Contributions The Bank expects to contribute $2.0 million to its Pension Trust in 2016. The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act, which was enacted on July 6, 2012, contained special rules related to funding stabilization for single employer defined benefit plans. Under these provisions, the interest rates used to calculate the plan’s funding percentages and minimum required contribution are adjusted as necessary to fall within a specified range that is determined based on an average of rates for the 25 year period ending on September 30 of the calendar year preceding the first day of the Plan year. For Plan years beginning in 2013, the range is 85 % - 115 % of the 25 year average. The application of the adjusted rates produced a 2013 required minimum contribution to the Plan to approximately $400,000. However, a decision was made to contribute a total of $3,700,000 for the 2013 plan year in order to make significant progress toward fully funding Plan liabilities and that amount has been contributed for the 2013 Plan Year. Estimated Future Benefit Payments The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, for the following years are as follows (in thousands):
2016 |  | $ | 744
2017 |  |  | 744
2018 |  |  | 733
2019 |  |  | 744
2020 |  |  | 751
2021-2025 |  |  | 3,765
401(k) Benefit Plan The Company maintains a 401(k) employee savings plan to provide for defined contributions which covers substantially all employees of the Company. Beginning with the 2013 Plan Year, the Plan was amended to provide for a 3% nonelective safe harbor contribution for all participants. For 2015, 2014 and 2013, employer contributions amounted to $338,000, $291,000 and $265,000, respectively.
