Approval of Appointment:  Public Safety Personnel Retirement System Board.

The Public Safety Personnel Retirement System Board consists of the Mayor, two citizens serving four-year terms, and two representatives each from the Police Department and Fire Department. There is currently one Citizen seat available and pursuant to ARS the Mayor makes the appointments, with approval of the Council. The Police Department and Fire Department representatives are elected by members of the respective departments. The board meets as needed to process membership and retirement applications from Flagstaff police officers and firefighters.

The appointment of Adam Zickerman to the Public Safety Personnel Retirement Board needs to be approved by the Council.

These are voluntary positions and there is no budgetary impact to the City of Flagstaff.

There is no Council goal that specifically addresses appointments to Boards and Commissions; however, boards and commissions do provide input and recommendations based on City Council goals that may pertain to the board or commission work plan.

None.

1) Approve appointment of Adam Zickerman, enabling the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System Board to be at full membership, and allowing the group to meet and provide recommendations.

2) Table the action to allow for further discussion or expand the list of candidates.

 

The City's boards, commissions, and committees were created to foster public participation and input and to encourage Flagstaff citizens to take an active role in city government.
