Danbury fire pension board approves survivor benefit adjustment for widow of late firefighter
Summary
At a Jan. 21 special meeting, the Danbury Firemen's Pension Board voted 5-0 to adjust survivor benefits for the spouse of the late firefighter Bob Palardy, citing city ordinance 32-75(D) which sets survivor payments at one-half of the member's pension.
The Danbury Firemen's Pension Board voted unanimously on Jan. 21 to adjust pension benefits for the surviving spouse of the late firefighter Bob Palardy. The special meeting was called to order at 3:02 p.m. and adjourned at 3:04 p.m.
The motion, made by board member Gabe Rivera and seconded by Holly Robinson, directed staff to adjust the survivor benefit "per city ordinance," and the board approved the measure by a 5-0 vote. Chairman Shawn McGee cited Danbury city ordinance 32-75, paragraph D, saying survivors "shall receive an annual adjusted sum equal to one-half (1/2) of the pension which such deceased member would have been entitled."
The item on the agenda was limited to applying the ordinance's provision to the spouse of Bob Palardy; the transcript and minutes do not provide the spouse's name or the specific dollar amount for the adjusted payment. No amendments or conditions were recorded.
