Firefighters' pension board moves a trustee into vacant fifth seat; asks city to appoint replacement
Summary
At a regularly scheduled meeting the Firefighters' Pension Board voted to move a current trustee into the board's vacant fifth seat and asked city staff to begin the appointment process for the resulting vacancy.
The Firefighters' Pension Board voted to move an existing trustee into the board's vacant fifth seat and asked city staff to begin the process for the city to appoint a replacement.
Board members voted unanimously after a short discussion to shift a trustee into the empty seat left when a board member vacated the position. Board members also asked the city clerk to prepare the paperwork so the mayor and council can appoint the final trustee before the next board meeting.
Why it matters: The move fills an immediate quorum concern and leaves the board with one seat to be filled by a municipal appointment. The board's makeup affects future votes on benefits, investments and plan governance.
Board action and immediate next steps: A trustee motioned to transfer the trustee to the fifth seat, the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Board staff said they would contact the city clerk (identified in the meeting as Karen) and complete the required appointment form so the city can make the formal appointment prior to the next meeting.
No ordinance or long-term policy change was made; the board only approved the internal reassignment and requested that the city complete the external appointment process.
