The board approved multiple retirement service requests and deferred‑vested benefit motions and recorded notifications of several retired members’ deaths.

During the meeting trustees approved service retirements that will become effective Sept. 13, 2025: Dennis D. Bell, battalion chief, Fire Department (29.79 years); Michael J. Murray, fire engineer, Fire Department (25.67 years); and Jonathan Redmond, police officer, Police Department (29.46 years). Trustee Lusley seconded the motion to approve and the board adopted the retirements by voice vote.

Trustees also approved deferred‑vested payouts for Michael William O’Neil (police officer; effective 09/25/2025; 10.62 years) and Sean M. Newnes (police officer; effective 09/13/2025; 25.29 years). Motions were moved and seconded and approved by voice vote.
