The purpose of the Board is to administer the Tempe Police Public Safety Personnel Retirement System. In this regard, the Board:

decides questions of eligibility and service credits, and determines the amount, manner and time of payment of any benefits due under the system;

prescribes procedures to be followed by claimants filing applications for benefits;

determines the right of any claimant to a benefit, and affords any claimant or the fund manager (or both) a right to a rehearing on the Board's original determination;

distributes information (including annual reports) explaining and/or reporting on the retirement system to interested members/parties; and,

appoints a medical board to ascertain employee physical fitness.

Composition

The Police Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS) Board is composed of five members consisting of:

the Mayor, or a designee of the Mayor (as chair),
two members elected by secret ballot from the Tempe Police Department,
