VI 1. New Business
A. Presentation of October 1, 2020 Actuarial Report -- Douglas Lozen, Foster
& Foster
Mr. Lozen reviewed the Actuarial Valuation Report as of October 1, 2020 (SEE
ATTACHED). He reviewed the update on the City's funding requirements and why it
changes from one year to the next and an update on its funded status. There were a
couple of assumption changes, which he also reviewed. These were mandated by Florida
statute. Mr. Killgore asked regarding the payroll change which in the current year added
1.7% to the City's contribution. Mr. Lozen stated it did, but at this point, now that it is
down to 1.51 %, it is going to be less of an impact going forward.
Mr. Lozen reviewed that the funded status for the Pension Plan is continuing to improve,
and in the last year it grew from 79.6% to 81.7%. He expects this to continue to grow at
POLICE PENSION BOARD PAGE 3
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF DECEMBER 15, 2020
a rate of 1 % to 2% in the future. He reviewed two new pages contained in his report, the
first of which covers a history of the funded status going back to 2015. He stated that the
State has its own ideas of what long-term assumption should be. They are not mandating
it, but they are stating their thoughts, and it is 5.25% to 6.5%. He stated that a discussion
probably needs to be had on lowering the assumption within the next couple of years.
Mr. Killgore asked what assumption rate the State FRS is using now. Mr. Lozen stated it
is 7%, and the City is at 7.2%. Mr. Williamson asked if this matter should be discussed
now rather than putting it off. Mr. Lozen stated because he did not give the Board any
notice that this would be discussed today, he opined that, because of some time
constraints on his part and the fact that it will be a weighty discussion, he would like to
address this matter at a future meeting. He offered to do a study for the next meeting in
order to see what the 7% would look like. It was the consensus of the Board that that
would be acceptable. Mr. Killgore asked what the fee would be for that study. Mr. Lozen
said it would be $500.00. Mr. Williamson asked what the minimal acceptable funded ratio
is. Mr. Lozen stated his main concern is what the trend is, what is the funded ratio doing
from one year to the next. This Police Pension funded ratio being in the 80s is fine.
Chairman Gillette called for a motion. A motion to have Mr. Lozen do a study that he will
present at the next meeting was made by Officer lovino, seconded by Mr. Williamson,
and approved unanimously via voice vote.
Mr. Lozen then turned to the second new report, History of Asset Values, and explained
that graph. There being no further questions/comments from the Board members, a
motion to approve the report from Mr. Lozen was made by Mr. Williamson, seconded by
Chairman Gillette, and approved unanimously via voice vote. As a point of clarification,
Ms. Jensen reiterated that this Board has approved an actuarial evaluation that had an
anticipated rate of return of 7.2%. The State requires an annual declaration of the Plan's
expected rate of return over the short term, the midterm, and the long term thereafter.
She stated it would be appropriate to make a motion to anticipate a 7.2% rate of return.
That can be reconsidered next year along with the report Mr. Lozen was approved to do
on the expected rate of return for purposes of the actuarial evaluation. Chairman Gillette
called for a motion. A motion to approve the 7.2% anticipated rate of return was made
by Ms. Ring, seconded by Mr. Williamson, and approved unanimously via voice vote. Ms.
Jensen stated that information needs to be provided to the State. Mr. Killgore stated he
typically does that.
Mr. Williamson asked, if the Board looks at going from 7.2% to 7%, is that a big enough
jump, since it is only 20 basis points. Mr. Lozen stated that this subject can be discussed
when he makes the presentation at the next meeting. Mr. Killgore asked if that can be
implemented to be effective with the next evaluation. Mr. Lozen stated it could. He would
not be recommending revising what the Board has approved today. There being no
further discussion, Mr. Lozen ended his presentation.
POLICE PENSION BOARD PAGE 4
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF DECEMBER 15, 2020
B. Report from Investment Monitor/Continue Discussion on Search for
International Growth and Large -Cap Growth Managers/Discussion and
Action on Setting the Expected Rate of Return
Mr. Scott Owens from Morgan Stanley talked about the market and the economy and
what has happened, what is expected to happen, and stated he would then ask Mr.
Mcllvaine to talk about some of the action items that took place since the Board's last
meeting and some of the things that need to be done in order to implement some of those
action items. Mr. Mcllvaine will then review the managers as well.
Mr. Owens discussed the uniqueness of this past year, and how this affected the market.
He reviewed that during the first quarter the market fell over 30%. There was discussion
about the pandemic, there was discussion about the market shutting down, but nothing
had happened in the first quarter, except for the fact that the market fell. That is because
the market is a leading indicator, and the market and the economy are not on the same
cycle. When the second quarter hit and the market actually shut down, the market was
going through the roof, up 30+%. That happened because the Fed said it was going to
provide fiscal stimulus of roughly $6 trillion to put into the economy. The market thus
went up, even though the first dollar had not been paid out yet. The third quarter by
historical standards is a good quarter, and the market is expecting things to be great six
months to a year from now. However, if something negative happens such as a problem
with the vaccine, that could have an effect on the market. There will certainly be some
volatility going forward, but it should not be as much as there was in the second quarter
of this year. He stated that most economists believe that with a Biden presidency, it would
be more geared to a bigger stimulus. If there is a bigger stimulus, that will affect the
market positively. The downside to providing that bigger stimulus is that, if the
government is providing money to the economy that is not normal, that is great at that
moment in time. But when that money stops, that could have a negative impact on the
market. Then eventually, that money will have to be paid back in the form of reallocating
assets.
Mr. Owens then reviewed his report (SEE ATTACHED), which addressed small -cap and
large -cap growth over the last year. He explained several pages in depth, and he then
called for questions/comments from the Board.
Officer Gillette asked whether the stimulus that the government provided during the
pandemic will have an effect on inflation at some time in the future. Mr. Owens answered
it will. Officer Gillette stated that a lot of people retire with their pension or their retirement
plans in their mid-60s to late 60s, but a lot of the officers could qualify to retire in their
early or mid-50s. So that retirement plan that they have could potentially have to last
them 30 years or more. Right now, the cost -of -living increase on the pension plan is
POLICE PENSION BOARD PAGE 5
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF DECEMBER 15, 2020
somewhere around 1 %. He questions that it might be important to bump that up because
of inflation that might be coming in the future. Mr. Owens stated that is a very real
concern. He further stated that inflation has been negligible for the last 10 years. It would
be hard to think that the next 10 years in regard to inflation is going to look anything like
the last 10 years, and he stated that future inflation is something this Board needs to be
thinking about. Officer Wood suggested that the minimum wage increase will also have
an effect on inflation, and Mr. Owens agreed.
There being no further discussion on Mr. Owens' presentation, Mr. Mcllvaine presented
information on action items that were taken between last quarter and this quarter. He
reviewed that last quarter there was a review of the asset -allocation study and it was
ultimately decided to bring on an infrastructure manager, which is a 5% allocation, and
actually get rid of MLPs, which was also a 5% allocation. It was thus necessary to send
over an updated investment policy statement, which was done. That has to be filed, but
there is a 31-day waiting period before new managers can be implemented. Ms. Jensen
stated that this document can be sent to Mr. Killgore for filing. Mr. Mcllvaine stated that
in conjunction with that, a few letters were sent from his office: one to terminate MLPs,
one to have Salem Trust purchase the Lazard Infrastructure Mutual Fund, and an
additional letter to some managers that went along with the investment policy statement
to rebalance.
Mr. Mcllvaine stated there was an action item at the last meeting calling for searches in
large -cap growth and international growth during the last quarter, and the Board decided
to table those and agreed that those would be brought back if there was
underperformance on the quarter. So a search was done for Highland large -cap growth,
but the international growth manager, Renaissance, actually outperformed on the quarter.
So Renaissance will continue to be watched.
Mr. Mcllvaine stated that the portfolio did well on the quarter. It was a good quarter,
5.96% versus the policy index of 4.68%. He went through the report and explained the
different pages (SEE ATTACHED). He also reviewed how the portfolio has grown since
its inception.
Mr. Owens asked how much of the cash is needed that is in the portfolio. Mr. Killgore
stated regarding cash flow that the City makes the annual cities requirement in this
quarter. Mr. Owens stated that about $50,000.00 will be left in the account, and the rest
of the cash will be disbursed in equities.
Mr. Mcllvaine reviewed the managers and stated a search will be done regarding
Highland Capital. Regarding Boston Partners, it was a solid quarter. Fiera has had a
stellar performance. They have been a great contributor to the portfolio. Renaissance
POLICE PENSION BOARD PAGE 6
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF DECEMBER 15, 2020
International Growth had a good quarter, up 1.2%. Mr. Mcllvaine stated Renaissance is
being watched closely, and if another bad quarter is seen, there will probably be a search
performed. He stated Center Coast (MLPs) will be gotten rid of, so they will not be
recorded in the next quarterly report. Intercontinental --Private Real Estate has
outperformed their index and has been a good addition to the portfolio. Mr. Owens gave
an in-depth review of the real estate market. Mr. Owens left the meeting at this point.
In reviewing the IPS checklist, Mr. Mcllvaine related that the Plan is in compliance in each
one of the sectors with the exception of a single issue, that being not to exceed 10% of
the total portfolio. Actually, in the recent IPS language, a revision was made, as his
company wants to give the managers the flexibility to make decisions. So the revised
IPS that just came back actually has revised language that a single issue is not to exceed
5% of the total portfolio. He then reviewed each manager, their history, and information
on their performance.
Mr. Mcllvaine then addressed the large -cap growth situation in the portfolio. He reviewed
the search that was done regarding Highland and explained how searches are done. He
then called for questions/comments from the Board.
Mr. Williamson asked if the Monitor has any suggestions. Mr. Mcllvaine stated that, if the
goal is to mitigate risk, he would say Polen has the lowest standard deviation. They seem
to protect the most. At the same time, they are the most concentrated.
Officer Gillette questioned that, where all three managers are compared with the index,
under Foreign Securities Highland has 10 max, Clearbridge has 10 max, Polen has 20
max. He asked if there is a reason for that and is that good or bad. Mr. Mcllvaine said
he does not think it is something to be concerned about. Ms. Jensen asked if these
companies use stocks that are traded on the American exchanges, and Mr. Mcllvaine
said yes.
Mr. Killgore asked if Highland would no longer have the large -cap growth.. Mr. Mcllvaine
stated that is correct, they would no longer have the large -cap growth.
Ms. Ring asked for an explanation about the 10%. If Polen has a maximum of 20%, is
that allowable. Mr. Mcllvaine explained that Polen has a maximum of 20% in their
portfolio, meaning they could invest up to 20% of foreign companies, but Clearbridge has
a mandate up to 10% that they can invest in foreign securities, and Highland has the
same mandate of up to 10%. Each company has a different strategy. Ms. Jensen added
that it depends on how many securities are being held in relation to the number of
securities each manager holds.
POLICE PENSION BOARD PAGE 7
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF DECEMBER 15, 2020
Officer Gillette asked if fees are also considered since Highland's appear to be somewhat
higher than the others. Mr. Mcllvaine stated that is correct. Mr. Killgore asked if the fees
are negotiable. Mr. Mcllvaine stated that sometimes they are. Some of the managers
have what is similar to "most favored nations," so if they lower the fees for one group,
they have to do it across their whole portfolio, so they do not want to do that. Mr.
Williamson stated his concern about the smaller number of holdings that Polen has.
Following a lengthy discussion, it was the consensus of the Board that the funds now with
Highland be diversified by blending half with the Russell 1000 growth index and half with
the active manager Polen.
Mr. Gillette called for a motion. A motion to move funds from Highland and split that
portion of the portfolio, which after rebalancing is going to be 16% or so, split it 50/50
between Polen and the Russell 1000 index, was made by Officer lovino, seconded by Mr.
Williamson, and approved unanimously via voice vote.
Ms. Jensen reported that Salem Trust has implemented new procedures for trades. Since
the rebalancing of part of this Plan's portfolio is coming up, she would encourage Mr.
Mcllvaine and Mr. Killgore to be certain that the Plan in compliance with those changes.
C. Report from Investment Manager -- Highland Capital
Mr. Wishnia reviewed the report of Highland Capital and how the market has been
affected by events of this past year (SEE ATTACHED). Basically, he agreed with the
comments of Mr. Owens. He explained that one of the things Highland has done in their
value portfolio is they have taken some of the larger -cap names and moved them out of
the portfolio and added some names that have a smaller market cap, still staying within
the index. He pointed out that the underperformance in value for the last quarter came
from energy, which was down approximately 19%-20%, which was a complete reversal
from the previous quarter, where energy was up approximately 20%. He stated that
currently the international portfolio is performing solidly, being up about 14.15%,
outperforming the index.
Ms. Jensen reviewed that there was an executive order that was entered into by the
President back in November which restricts U.S. citizens' ability to invest in China. So
there are 31 stocks that beginning January 11th cannot be purchased by U.S. citizens.
She asked that Mr. Wishnia plan for the next meeting to talk about what his thoughts are
on it and how Highland is going to be dealing with that particular executive order. Mr.
Wishnia said that he will do that.
POLICE PENSION BOARD PAGE 8
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF DECEMBER 15, 2020
Mr. Wishnia addressed that fixed income was a solid quarter as well, over the index by
1.2%. He stated that Highland is typically neutral duration. They are anticipating at some
point a rise in rates. Highland has about 42% in corporate bonds and about 45% in
mortgages, which has helped the portfolio. The underper formance this fiscal year goes
back to the first quarter. If you were not in treasuries in fixed income, you pretty much
got crushed, and that is what happened to Highland, as they do not hold much in the way
of treasuries. He called for questions or comments.
Hearing no comments/questions from Board members, Mr. Wishnia also commented that,
if Highland is underperforming and not doing what was expected, he does not want this
Board to feel that there are any hard feelings. They want what is best for the Plan and
appreciate the Pension Plan allowing Highland to hold their assets.
VIII. Legal Updates
A. Status of Proposed City Ordinance Amending the Plan for New IRS Rules
Ms. Jensen stated her firm had been working with Manny Anon, City Attorney, to put
together the IRS memorandum. The City is looking at a provision where it proposed a
best practices, discretionary piece to allow the Board to incorporate IRS -required changes
via policy so that it would always be in IRS compliance. The City does not like that
provision. It feels it is outside of their ability to grant. She did provide the City with some
information from the charter which she thought was helpful, but the City would prefer that
she come back to them always and make sure that the Plan is kept in compliance. Mr.
Anon is at the position where he has got to take a look at it one more time, and Ms. Jensen
thinks it will be going onto the agenda at the beginning of 2021. She added that her firm
has provided Mr. Killgore with the new, updated special tax notice, which incorporates the
age 72 requirement provision language, which is what is being implemented through the
IRS amendment. She will let the City know if there is an issue, but she thinks it will be
going forward, and hopefully before the Board's next meeting it will be passed.
B. Other Legal Matters
Regarding upcoming conferences, she stated the conferences coming up will be virtual,
and there are not any conferences that can be attended in person. She suggested that
her firm along with Graystone, may be able to provide some educational pieces for the
Board. If there is a particular thing anyone from the Board would like to know about from
the law area, let her know, and she will put something together for the next meeting.
IX. Board Member Reports and Comments -- None

X. Plan Administrative Reports and Comments
A. Notification of Intent to Enter DROP from Sergeant Steven Marcinik.
Mr. Killgore stated that Patrol Sergeant Marcinik has put in for the DROP program. He

actuary. Mr. Killgore has to formalize those and give Sergeant Marcinik a schedule of
what his future accumulation will be under the DROP. Also, Officer Greg Witt is already
under the DROP program, so those are two who have taken advantage of that option.

Mr. Killgore stated the activities were on schedule according to what is in the Plan.
Regarding the budget report, with the first quarter results in, almost $37,000.00 has been

MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING DATED JUNE 15, 2021
B. Presentation of Study on the Anticipated Long -Term Rate of Return
Mr. Lozen, Foster & Foster, explained why the capital market assumptions and inflation
for the long term are reviewed. He pointed out that he is not asking for a decision
regarding these items today. He reviewed the study that he delivered in March and
explained those results. He then asked for comments/questions from the Board.
Mr. Williamson clarified that in the Pension Plan's policy there is currently an expected
rate of return of 7.2%, and other pensions like the Florida State are dropping their
expected rate of return most likely to reflect the reality of the interest rate situation in the
long term. So, to make sure the Pension is funded appropriately for the long term, we
should probably be modeling that after what Florida State is doing and also lower our
expected rate of return. Mr. Lozen stated that is a fair summary.
Mr. Williamson asked if Mr. Lozen is recommending that this Pension Plan go right to 7%
or do it incrementally. Mr. Lozen opined that the Pension Plan will be safe by doing a
two-year phase -in. He does not expect any large decreases from the Florida Retirement
System. He added that this Board should get some input from the City as well as far as
budgeting, and he discussed budgeting.
Mr. Killgore also stated that this does have an effect on the City's budgeting. He
emphasized that the City is getting hit hard because the voters in Florida stated that we
have to get to a $15.00-an-hour minimum wage, and that is over the next three years.
There was an in-depth discussion regarding this matter, following which Mr. Lozen asked
that the Board come to a decision on this subject by the meeting in September. He further
stated that he will continue to bring this matter up to the Board in the future.
Chairman Wood made a motion to decrease the amount from the 7.2% to 7.1 % for the
fiscal year 2022-2023. Mr. Williamson seconded the motion. The motion was approved
unanimously via voice vote.
Mr. Lozen stated he will lower the percentage to 7.1 % at the next valuation, and he will
plan to be here in December to go over the results, and there can be continued discussion
regarding this matter going forward.
IX. Public Inout
There being no one in chambers who wished to speak and there being no one on Zoom
who wished to speak, Chairman Wood moved to the next item on the agenda.
POLICE PENSION BOARD PAGE 4
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING DATED JUNE 15, 2021
X. New Business
A. Report From Investment Manager
Mr. Mcllvaine, Morgan Stanley, stated that he agrees with everything that Mr. Lozen had
reviewed. He thanked the Board for allowing him to attend via Zoom, and he plans to
attend in person at the next meeting. He reviewed how the markets have reacted during
the COVID-19 pandemic and how inflation will affect the economy in the future. He then
reviewed and explained the Quarterly Performance Summary for the Pension Plan (SEE
ATTACHED). He then called for questions/comments from the Board. There being none,
Chairman Wood moved to the next item on the agenda.
B. Report from Investment Manager
Mr. Wishnia, Highland Capital reviewed what his company did this quarter to get the
returns. The numbers look good. He went over the Pension Fund Investment Review
(SEE ATTACHED), following which he called for questions/comments from the Board.
Mr. Williamson inquired regarding Berkshire Hathaway. Mr. Wishnia stated they are
looking at it more as a holdings company. When looking at the holdings within Berkshire,
it could almost be an industrials company with what they hold. He opined that what is
being looked at is more banks and companies that will react to interest rates and a
reopening of businesses. He further opined that Berkshire has not performed well within
the financial sector. He is uncertain as to what degree it will be reduced, as it has been
the top one or two holdings for years, and they are cutting that back. Regarding
International, it is kind of the same story as what is going on in the US. Markets rose on
vaccine rollout, stimulus, central bank policies, etc. There was a nice quarter, up 5.5%
over the index.
XI. Leaal Updates
A. Plan Amendment to Define Life with 10 Years of Benefits Guaranteed
Ms. Jensen reviewed that during the quarter, in looking at the Pension Plan she noted
that there was not a provision for the Plan's normal form. She is proposing an amendment
to the Plan just to clarify that its normal form of benefit is a 10-year-certain benefit. A
member gets their benefit for life, but if they die before they have received 120 payments,
they can leave the remainder of those 120 payments to a beneficiary. This just describes
the 10-year-certain benefit. It is the minimum benefit that is provided for under the state
statute. She is proposing to provide an amendment to City Council so that it can be added
to this Pension Plan. Chairman Wood called for a motion on this matter. A motion to
POLICE PENSION BOARD PAGE 5
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING DATED JUNE 15, 2021
direct Ms. Jensen to draft the amendment to the Plan and present it to City Council was
made by Ms. Ring, seconded by Chairman Wood. After added discussion, the motion
was withdrawn.
Mr. Killgore asked if there are other IRS changes in progress. Ms. Jensen stated she is
not aware of any IRS changes that have occurred that need to be made other than the
ones that have already been done. She will look at it to make certain that these are the
only changes that are needed.
Ms. Jensen reminded the Board that their Form 1s are due to the Supervisor of Elections
by July 1st. There is a three-month grace period to September 1st before they begin to
assess any penalties that are due as a result of someone not filing. She cannot give any
advice about what to put on the form, but she can answer any questions that anyone has
about the instructions.
XII. Board Member Reports or Comments
Ms. Ring stated she has sent her Form 1 in.
XIII. Plan Administrator Recorts and Comments
A. Sergeant Steve Marcinik Elected the Deferred Retirement Option Program
(DROP)
Mr. Killgore informed the Board that Sergeant Steve Marcinik has elected to go into the
DROP program. The actuary did provide the numbers for this DROP.
B. Budget Report, Calendar of Board Activities, and Other Administrative
Matters
Mr. Killgore stated he has updated all the costs through the first three quarters, including
the Boston Partners invoice that was added to the payments. So far, approximately 64%
of budgeted funds have been spent. He will bring any changes that the Board might need
to approve to the meeting in September. He has provided a Calendar of Board Activities,
and he opined that the Plan is on target for all of those.
Chairman Wood asked if there was anything else the Board needs to do regarding the
last meeting (workshop). Ms. Jensen stated that, if there are Minutes that needed to be
approved, that should be done. That can be put on the agenda for the next meeting.
Those are the Minutes from the December 15, 2020 meeting. She stated that the report
POLICE PENSION BOARD PAGE 6
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING DATED JUNE 15, 2021
that was received from Graystone for the quarter should be approved at the next meeting.
Mr. Killgore stated he will add those matters to the agenda for the next meeting.

Re: Federal and State COVID Benefits forPublic Safety Officers
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has hitthe homes and hearts of nearly every
American since mid -March 2020. Although some states have taken precautions to slow
the spread of the disease, public safety officers have, and continue to provide, an
essential service during this pandemic. Police officers and firefighters are contracting
COVID-19 at a higher rate than the general public as a result of the essential services
they provide ou r commu n ities.
On August 14, 2020, "Safeguarding America's First Responders Act of 2020" (the "Act')
was signed into law. This law provides presumptive line -of -duty death and disability
benefits to qualifying police officers and firefighters. For the purposes of death and
disability benefits, this law creates a general presumption that a public safety officer
who dies from COVID-19 or related complications sustains a personal injury in the line-
of-d u ty.
Under the Act, a qualifying public safety officer who dies or who becomes permanently
and totally disabled due to COVID-19 (or from complications thereof) in 2020-2021 is
entitled to a presumptive benefit under the Public Safety Officer Benefits (PSOB)
program. To qualify for federal benefits, a public safety officer must meet the following
fourcriteria for line -of -duty death.
• No competent medical evidence exists that the officer's death was directly and
proximately caused by something otherthan COVID-19;
Client Memorandum
Re: Safeguarding America's First Responders Act of 2020- Presumptive Benefit for
COVID-19 Becomes Law
Page 2
• The public safety officer was engaged in a line -of -duty action or activity between
January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2021;
The public safety officer received a diagnosis of COVID-19 (or evidence indicates
that the officer had COVID-19) during the 45-day period beginning on his or her
last day of duty; and
Evidence indicates that the public safety officer had COVID-19 (or complications
therefrom) at the time of his or herdeath.
There is also a presumption for eligibility for line -of -duty disability related to COVID-19
or complications from COVID 19. To qualify for federal benefits, a public safety officer
must meet the following two criteria for line -of -duty disability:
• The public safety officer was engaged in a line -of -duty action or activity between
January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2021; and
The pu bl ic safety officer received a diagnosis of COVID-19 (or evidence indicates
that the officer had COVID-19) during the 45-day period beginning on his or her
last day of duty
We are all painfully aware that ou r pu blic safety officers work in a dangerou s profession;
times are not getting any easier. This newly recognized federal death and disability
benefit is intended to provide extra support to the families of our nation's essential
public safety officers. Please contact our office if your retirement plan members need
assistance filing a claim for PSOB benefits.

RE: Federal, State, and Local Death Benefits
DATE: September 2021
As we are all painfully aware, first responders work in a dangerous profession. This
memo provides a summary of the federal, state, and local benefits that are provided to
support the families of first responders killed in the line of duty.
Federal Public Safety Officer Benefits (PSOB)
The PSOB Program provides death benefits in the form of a one-time lump sum
payment to eligible survivors of public safety officers whose deaths are the direct and
proximate result of a traumatic injury sustained in the line of duty. For deaths occurring on
or after October 1, 2020, the PSOB benefit is approximately $370,000. Certain educational
benefits are also available for eligible survivors if they meet a very fact specific set of
criteria. The application process for these benefits is lengthy and requires the submission
of a number of documents as well as personal information. The application and review
process can span many months. These benefits can be applied for at www.r)sob.aov
Additionally, the federal government offers the Public Safety Officers' Education
Assistance (PSOEA) Program. This program provides financial assistance for the spouses
and eligible children of local police, fire, and emergency public safety officers who have
been killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty seeking higher education. The
PSOEA benefit is available after the PSOB death or disability claim has been approved.

Federal, State, and Local Death Benefits
Page 2
State of Florida Death Benefits
1. Lump Sum
Section112.19(2) & Section 112.191(2), Florida Statutes
The following benefit(s) is payable to the first responder's named beneficiary for
their life:
a. $75,000 if the death is accidental.
b. $150,000 if:
(i) the death is accidental and the officer was in 'Yresh pursuit" or
responding to an emergency; or
(ii) the death is accidental and the firefighter was responding to an
emergency involving the protection of life or property, or
participation in a training exercise.
C. $225,000 if unlawfully and intentionally killed.
Effective July 1, 2019, twenty-one forms of cancer are presumed to be job related
for firefighters under §112.1816, Fla. Stat. As a result of this amendment, the eligible
firefighter's beneficiary is entitled to a $75,000 accidental death benefit, payable as a lump
sum by the employing agency.
Employers are solely responsible for paying the cost of benefits under §112.1816,
but are permitted to purchase an insurance policy to cover some or all of these statutory
benefits.
Lump sum death benefits were lower prior to July 1, 2019, but were subject to
adjustment based on the cost of living. Effective July 1, 2019, the higher lump sum death
benefit is no longer subject to adjustment for inflation.
2. Funeral Benefits (Police Only)
Section 112.19(f), Florida Statutes
The following benefit(s) are payable if a law enforcement, correctional or
correctional probation officer is killed in the line of duty while engaged in the performance
of law enforcement duties or as the result of an assault under riot conditions:
1. $1,000 toward the funeral expenses of the decreased officer.
2. Up to $5,000 may be paid by the officer's employing agency toward
00156232.WP0;1
Federal, State, and Local Death Benefits
Page 3
venue expenses associated with the funeral and burial of the officer.
3. Health Insurance
Section 112.19(2)(g) & Section 112.191(f), Florida Statutes
Any political subdivision of the state that employs a full-time law enforcement officer,
corrections officer, or firefighter who is killed in the line of duty on after July 1, 1993, as a
result of:
(i) an act of violence inflicted by another person while the officer is engaged in
the performance of law enforcement duties, or as a result of an assault
against the officer under riot conditions; or
(ii) an act of violence inflicted by another person while the firefighter is engaged
in the performance of firefighter duties, or as a result of a fire which has been
determined to have been caused by an act of arson, or as a result of an
assault of the firefighter under riot conditions
shall pay the entire health insurance premium for the employee's surviving spouse,
until they remarry, and for each dependent child of the employee until the child reaches the
age of majority or until the end of the calendar year in which the child turns 25 if. at the
time of the employee's death, the child is dependent upon the employee for support; and
the surviving child continues to be dependent for support, of the surviving child is a full-time
or part-time student and is dependent for support.
4. Educational Benefits
Section 112.19(3) & Section 112.191(3), Florida Statutes
Benefits provide for waiver of certain educational expenses that the surviving
spouse or child of the deceased first responder would incur while obtaining a career
certificate, undergraduate or post graduate degree from a Florida public college or
university. This benefit applies to first responders who were accidentally killed on or after
June 22,1990 or unlawfully and intentionally killed on or after July 1,1980. Benefits under
this section will continue until the child reaches age 25. Benefits for a surviving spouse
must commence within 5 years after the death occurs, and the opportunity will remain
available until the 101' anniversary of the death.
00196232.WP8;1
Federal, State, and Local Death Benefits
Page 4
5. Pre -filed State Legislation
HB 53 was filed on August 27, 2021. This bill proposes to extend the communicable
disease provision to include a line of duty presumption for COVID 19 or an infectious
disease (a condition or impairment of health caused by a disease that has been declared
a public health emergency).
(d) In the case of COVID-19, in the 14 days immediately preceding diagnosis he
or she was not exposed, outside the scope of his or her employment, to any
person known to have COVID-19.
(e) In the case of an infectious disease, he or she contracted the infectious
disease during a public health emergency declared in accordance with s.
381.00315 and was not exposed, outside of the scope of his or her
employment, to any person known to have the infectious disease.
Like the other communicable diseases in that section of the law, in order to be
entitled to the presumption, the emergency rescue or public safety officer must take an
available "vaccine, immunization, or prophylaxis" as "established by the Advisory
Committee on Immunization Practices of the United States Public Health Service and if the
vaccine, immunization, or prophylaxis has been approved by the United States Food and
Drug Administration."
Workers Compmnsation�en�fits
Section 440.16, Florida Statutes
Workers' Compensation Benefits are payable to law enforcement officers,
firefighters, emergency medical technicians and paramedics who die while acting in the line
of duty or as the result of an accident occurring in the line of duty.
Benefits are payable if death results from the accident within 1 year or follows
continuous disability and results in death within 5 years of the accident. Under this section,
the following amounts shall be paid:
a. Within 14 days of receiving a bill, the cost of actual funeral expenses not to
exceed $7,500.00.
b. Compensation not to exceed $150,000 or 66 2/3% of average wage payable
to the following order of preference:
1) To the spouse, if no child, 50% of average weekly wage until the
spouse's death.
00196232.wPD;1 2) To the spouse, if there is a child, compensation under (1), plus an
Federal, State, and Local Death Benefits
Page 5
additional 16 2/3%.
3) To the child(ren), if no spouse, 33 1/3% for each child to age 18 or
remarriage.
4) To the parents, 25% each, during continuance of dependency.
5) To siblings and grandchildren, 15% for each brother, sister, or
grandchild.
C. Full waiver of Postsecondary student fees for instruction at any career center
for up to 1,800 classroom hours or payment of student fees at any
community college for up to 80 semester hours. The benefits are in addition
to other benefits provided and shall terminate 7 years after the death of the
deceased employee, or when the total payment in eligible compensation
under paragraph b has been received.
NOTE: Under Worker's Compensation Law, COVID claims are extremely difficult to
prove. Absent a presumptive disease statute like that proposed, public
safety officers are unlikely to be granted Workers' Compensation benefits.
There was a state employee presumption regarding COVID, but it expired
with the expiration of the declaration of emergency in Florida due to COVID
in June of 2021.
Pension Plan Benefits
Please be sure to look at your local pension plan to determine the death benefits
available from your jurisdiction's pension plan.
