The San Luis local board voted to approve an accidental disability retirement application for former firefighter Jesus Campas Burola after reviewing an independent medical examination and completing the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS) questionnaire.
Marie Barajas, the local board secretary, told members the board had reviewed the IME and related materials in executive session and asked whether members had additional questions or were ready to move forward. "We would like to know if you have any additional questions or if we can move forward to approving his application," Barajas said. Board members asked no follow-up questions and a motion to approve the application was made and seconded; the presiding officer then called for a voice vote and announced the motion carried.
The board had voted earlier to go into executive session under Arizona Revised Statutes §38-431.03(A)(2) and (3) to review the IME for the applicant; the IME was recorded as received on 12/12/2025. After the approval motion passed in open session, staff read the PSPRS accidental-disability questionnaire into the record for the official minutes and for submission to PSPRS. The questionnaire responses recorded by the board were: Q1 (filed within one year or after disabling incident) — yes; Q2 (termination by reason of disability) — yes; Q3 (termination based on disciplinary issue) — no; Q4 (DROP applicability) — not applicable; Q5 (still working in a reasonable-range-of-duties position) — no; Q6 (refused a reasonable-position within classification) — no; Q7 (injury/condition prior to membership date) — no; Q8 (injury occurred during performance of duty) — yes.
The board secretary stated the questionnaire and supporting documentation will be included in the meeting minutes and sent to PSPRS. The board conducted voice votes for the executive-session motion, the approval of the disability application and the motion to adjourn; the transcript records only voice votes and the presiding officer's announcement that motions carried, without a roll-call tally by name.
The meeting adjourned after brief closing remarks and seasonal greetings.
