FPDR Board Meeting 07/28/26

The FPDR Board Meeting held on July 28, 2026, focused primarily on procurement and budgetary matters related to the Fire and Police Disability and Retirement (FPDR) program. Key procurement discussions included the approval of Resolution 566, authorizing a contract with outside general counsel firm Tucker Hos for legal assistance, with a contract term from May 18, 2026, to January 21, 2030, and a not-to-exceed value of $150,000. The board agreed to include a termination clause in the contract to address potential staffing changes. Financial reports highlighted that revenues closely matched budget projections, with minor overspending in pension budgets offset by underspending in disability benefits. The board also discussed the transition of technology services support to the Bureau of Technology Services (BTS), including the transfer of a Business Systems Analyst position and the establishment of embedded service teams to support FPDR's technology needs. The meeting addressed the challenges of managing volatile budgets, particularly related to overtime and pension contributions, and outlined plans for ongoing coordination and resource allocation. Additionally, the board reviewed the upcoming posting and hiring process for a new FPDR director and planned administrative rule amendments. No new capital projects or purchasing decisions were reported during this meeting.
