Police pension plan proposed for Venice would boost benefits
An actuarial study by Alexander and Alexander recommends a police pension plan for Venice with a 13 percent benefit increase and total annual cost of 22000. The plan bases pensions on the average of five of the last ten years and sets retirement at 60 with 10 years or 55 with 25. It also provides survivor and disability benefits and allows immediate eligibility for line of duty disability. The city would not join the Florida Retirement System for police and fire, amid concerns the FRS is underfunded. committees will review the proposal before city council approval.
