Jacksonville Beach pension boards approve two police retirements
Summary
The Jacksonville Beach pension boards voted to approve retirement benefits for two police officers after motions were made and votes recorded across the police, general and firefighters boards.
The Jacksonville Beach pension boards voted to approve retirement benefits for two police officers during their meeting, with roll-call votes recorded across the police officers board, the general board and the firefighters board. The boards approved benefits that staff said met the plans’ service requirements.
Board administrators presented motions to approve retirement applications for “Charles Mark Evans,” listed as a police officer with an effective backdrop retirement date of 07/01/2019 and a separation date of 05/13/2022, described in the motion as meeting service requirements with 32 years, 11 months of service. A separate motion approved the retirement of a police officer identified in the transcript as “Bradley” with an effective retirement date of 06/01/2022 and separation date of 05/31/2022; staff said that application “meets 80 service requirements for duty service retirement 10 years” and that the applicant met age/service thresholds.
The motions were made and seconded; board voting was recorded by roll call. For the police retirement motions the transcript records: David Cahill (yes), Marvin Dupree (yes), John Gastilla (yes), Jason Sharp (yes) and other board members responding in the affirmative when called. Later, separate roll-call votes to approve the investment report and related items recorded votes by the General Board, Firefighters’ Board and Police Officers’ Board.
Board minutes show the retirements were recorded as approved; there was no formal challenge or amendment to those motions in the recorded discussion.
Board staff also noted demographic changes affecting the plans: several members recently became nonvested because they retired, some beneficiaries passed away, and staff said about 10 current employees have more than 30 years of service and several more are expected to retire within the next year, which staff said will have implications for cash flow when larger backdrop payments are due.
No appeals, remands or further administrative actions were recorded in the transcript regarding these two retirement approvals.
