The City of Houston announced that it had filed suit against the Houston Firefighters’ Retirement and Relief Fund (HFRRF) to gain “the same input on contributions and plan design for HFRRF that it already has with the Houston Police Officers Pension System (HPOPS) and the Houston Municipal Employees Pension System (HMEPS).” HMEPS is not a party to the lawsuit.
HMEPS is governed by a separate statute, and has a Meet & Confer Agreement with the City.
We will continue to monitor any legal action that could affect the system, and will remain vigilant on behalf of our participants.
Sincerely,
Sherry Mose
Chairman
