Gunnison Firemen's Pension Fund
| The Gunnison Firemen's Pension Fund Board manages all contributions received annually from the State of Colorado, Gunnison Volunteer Fire Protection District and the City of Gunnison. All funds are currently invested with Wells Fargo in a Pension Trust Fund. Retirement benefits are paid to any volunteer member who has retired with at least twenty years of active service and has attained the age of fifty years. If any member dies in the line of duty as a firefighter, death benefits are paid to the surviving spouse or surviving children. Additionally, the surviving spouse of a pensioned firefighter may receive fifty percent of the pensioner's benefit amount. The Pension Board consists of eight members: Jim McDermott - Gunnison Fire Protection District; Steve Williams - Gunnison Fire Protection District; Jim Miles - Gunnison Volunteer Fire Dept Chief; Heath Smith - Fireman; Dennis Spritzer - Fireman; Bob Drexel - City Councilmember; Ellen Harriman - City Councilmember; Wendy Hanson - City Finance Director. Board meetings are held semi-annually to review, and if necessary, authorize changes in investment strategy and/or benefit structure. |
