Retirement Plan Opposed by Fire Pension Board
The Firemen's Pension and Relief Board objected to a city ordinance proposing a retirement age for firefighters. The measure would mandate annual physicals after 55, retire at 60 unless approved by the city commission, and require retirement at 65. Current law allows retirement at 55 after 20 years without a set compulsory age. The issue was tabled after a city commission meeting, pending a meeting with the board. Board members are Frank McDowell, Troy Gatlin, and Herbert Hunter. City Manager N V Moss said he would recommend adoption.
