Pension Board

Pension Board

The Local Pension Board is responsible for deciding all questions of eligibility and service credits, and determining the amount, manner and time of payment of any benefits under the Plan.  The Public Safety Personnel Retirement System Board of Trustees cannot pay any benefits under the Plan without the direction and approval of the Local Pension Board.

The Pension Board is comprised of five members – Governing Board Member, two citizen members, and two elected District employees.

The Board must hold at least one meeting per year. Pension Board meetings are not held on a preset schedule, but rather as needed to address matters requiring Board action, such as membership eligibility determinations, disability retirement determinations, and other items requiring Board review.
