The staff supports the boards of trustees for the General Employees’ Retirement System and the Police & Fire Retirement System which are defined benefit pension systems. The staff calculates pension estimates for vested employees, prepares final benefit calculations when employees retire and processes the monthly pension payrolls. The office also prepares the monthly accounting of funds and coordinates with the actuary, the attorneys, consultants, auditors and investment managers who assist in the management of the plans.
