FIREFIGHTER'S PENSION FUND

Click here for an important message from the City's Chief Financial Officer regarding the status of the City's pension plans during this period of difficult economic times.

Administration and responsibility for the Plan is vested with the Board of Trustees ("the Board").  F.S. Chapter 175 requires that the Board be comprised of five trustees serving concurrent two-year terms. Composition of the Board is as follows: two City residents appointed by the City Council; two City firefighters elected by a majority of the actively employed Plan participants; and one member chosen by a majority of the four members and ministerially appointed by the City Council.   By majority vote, trustees elect from among themselves a chairman, vice-chairman and secretary.  

Three individuals serve the Board in staff positions.  These individuals serve in this capacity primarily as a function of their normal position with the City.  Included in this group are the City Treasurer, Treasury Manager and Pension Coordinator
