Board acknowledges hire of Commander Christopher Dowell; city to pay alternate PSPRS contribution
Summary
The Sedona Local PSPRS Retirement Board acknowledged hiring Commander Christopher Dowell (hired 04/07/2025) and noted the city will pay an alternate contribution rate into PSPRS because he is a retiree from another participating department.
The City of Sedona Local PSPRS Retirement Board acknowledged the hiring of Commander Christopher Dowell, effective April 7, 2025, and noted that because Dowell retired from another PSPRS-participating department he will not be a contributing member of Sedona’s local PSPRS.
Board members were informed that the city will pay the employer alternate contribution rate (ACR) into PSPRS on Dowell’s behalf during his employment in the sworn commander position. A board member asked whether the alternate contribution rate applied specifically to Dowell; staff and other members clarified the city’s contribution obligation remains even when a hire is a PSPRS retiree.
The board treated the agenda item as an acknowledgement rather than a motion and recorded no formal vote on the hiring acknowledgment.
