Trustees mark retirement, resignation and upcoming trustee nomination

The chair asked the board to acknowledge that this meeting was trustee Chase Famerson's last pension meeting before his retirement on Oct. 2, after nearly 20 years of service. "I just want to acknowledge this is Chase Famerson's last, pension meeting before his retirement, October 2," the chair said, and trustees offered thanks.

Trustees were told finance director Britney Purcell has given three weeks' notice and will begin a finance role at the St. Johns County clerk of the court, with her last day tomorrow per the meeting. The board also reported a nomination solicitation on the police side for an active-member trustee vacancy; the administrator said he had received some interest but no completed nomination forms yet. The chair and staff said they will coordinate actuarial estimates for retiring members (including Famerson) and process administrative signings after the meeting.
