Summary:
Florida Statutes Chapter 175 provides that the City's Firefighters' Pension Board be made up of two members elected by the pension plan participants, two City-resident members appointed by the City Council and a fifth member elected by the other four members. After the fifth member is chosen, the City Council ministerially appoints the fifth member to the Firefighters' Pension Board.
At the Firefighters' Pension Board meeting held on October 18, 2018, the trustees choose District Chief Edward Torres to serve as the fifth member of the Board. The appointment of the Firefighters' Pension Board is effective immediately and will continue through September 30, 2020. |
