  • The Treasurer of the City
  • An active member of the Fire Dept - elected by a majority vote of Fire Dept members.
  • An active member of the Police Dept - elected by a majority vote of Police Dept members.
  • Two additional members appointed by legislative body or by another person authorized to appoint administrative officials.

"An ACT to provide for the establishment, maintenance and administration of a system of pensions and retirements for the benefit of the personnel of fire and/or police departments, employed by cities, villages or municipalities having full-paid members in such departments, and for the widows and children of such members, and to provide for the creation of a board of trustees to manage and operate same; to authorize appropriations and deductions from salaries; and to repeal all acts and parts of acts inconsistent therewith."
