ITEM:

Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding the appointment of two (2) members to serve on the Public Safety Personnel Retirement Board for the Police and Fire Departments.  (Jenny Torres, Acting City Manager)

SUMMARY:

The City needs to fill an expired term and a vacancy on the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS) Local Boards for Fire and Police departments.

As a participant of the PSPRS, the city must establish a five-person Local Board which includes a chairperson, two citizens, and two contributing members. The requirements for these boards appointments are found in A.R.S. §38-847(A) (1).

Currently, the chairperson term has expired on both PSPRS Local Boards on September 12, 2022, and the resignation of a Citizen member, on October 25, 2023.

A.R.S. § 38-847 A.1
  • Chair: The Chair is the mayor or her designee.  If the mayor appoints a designee, designee must be approved by Council.    
  • Citizen Member: Two Citizen Members shall serve on both boards.  They are appointed by the mayor and approved by Council.  The City had previously designated a person from the Finance department due to the actuarial and financial impact associated with employer contribution rates and unfunded liability.
Current PSPRS Local Boards' Members:

Police Department:
  • Tadeo A. De La Hoya, Chairman
  • Maria Munoz, Citizen Member
  • Citizen Member, Vacant
  • Alan Guevara, Contributing Member
  • Nigel Reynoso, Contributing Member
  • Mary Barajas, Non-Voting Secretary
Fire Department:
  • Tadeo A. De La Hoya, Chairman
  • Maria Munoz, Citizen Member
  • Citizen Member, Vacant
  • Jose Barragan, Contributing Member
  • Justin Phillips, Contributing Member
  • Mary Barajas, Non-Voting Secretary
Administration is recommending that Roula Encinas, Acting Finance Director be appointed to the Police and Fire PSPRS boards as a citizen member, thereby replacing Monica Castro vacant seat.  Mayor Riedel is interested in serving on both PSPRS boards for Police and Fire. 

RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION:

First Action by Mayor: 

"I designate ______________ as chairman to both PSPRS Local Boards for the Fire and Police departments."

Second Action by Mayor:

"I appoint ___________________ a new citizen member to both PSPRS Local Boards for the Fire and Police departments."

The motion of the City Council:

"I MOVE TO APPROVE THE DESIGNATION AND APPOINTMENTS OF THE MAYOR"
