Pension board approves minutes, disbursements, military-time purchase and disability referral; rehearing date set with quorum caveat

The Police and Fire Retirement Fund Board on June 11, 2025 approved a series of routine and case-specific motions, including purchase of military service time for an employee, approval of May disbursements, and referral of a disability application for independent medical review.

The actions matter because they directly affect individual benefits and the board's administrative schedule.

Minutes and disbursements: The board approved the minutes of the May meeting and the May disbursements as presented. Both motions passed by voice vote with no opposing votes recorded on the transcript.

Purchase of military time: The board approved a motion to purchase military time for Christopher Carrington. The motion was made during new business and passed by voice vote.

Rehearing date for Stephen Buxton: The board approved a request to reschedule the rehearing for Stephen Buxton to July 9, 2025, the board's next regular meeting, subject to confirmation that a quorum will be present. Several board members noted they would be unavailable on July 9 and staff were asked to confirm quorum; if a quorum is not available the rehearing may be rescheduled for the August meeting.

Disability applications: Board members noted that Patrick McMullen withdrew his disability application (listed for information). Separately, the board accepted the application of Shannon Gayhafer, Division of Police, to convert an existing service retirement to a total and permanent occupational disability and voted to send the application to the appropriate physicians for review; that motion passed by voice vote.

Adjournment: The board voted to adjourn at the close of the meeting.

Votes recorded in the meeting were by voice; the transcript does not record individual named vote tallies for these motions.
