ITEM NO. 7C
Date:

Subject:

Update Minimum Contribution to Fire Retirement Fund for Retiree COLA

Comments: The City of Corsicana currently contributes a match of the TMRS
retirement (Texas Municipal Retirement System) contribution and has established a
minimum of 14% for the Local Firefighter’s Retirement Fund (FRR).
The Retirement Fund has been very successful over the last several years and following
due diligence has investigated a Cost-of-Living Adjustment for active retirees through the
required channels. The first step in this process was an actuarial study of the Fund’s
status and what impact an adjustment to benefits would have on the Current and Future
Liabilities. The Fund’s actuary approved the COLA pending a City Minimum
Contribution increase from 14% to 14.7%.
The City of Corsicana for the last several years has paid above the minimum required
14% and has matched the set rate that is paid in to the TMRS retirement system for all
other city employees. Raising the minimum contribution from 14% to 14.7% the actuary
is requiring to approve the COLA remains less than what the city is actually contributing
to the fund.
The FRR board has approved what would be the first COLA to current retirees in the
history of the fund and the active Firefighter members have, through a unanimous vote,
elected to approve this one-time benefit change.
The COLA for current retirees as approved:
10% > 30 years

7% 20-30 years

5% 10-20 years

3% 5-10 years

There is no impact to the City budget approving this change.
Recommendation: Approve superseding prior ordinances and establishing a new
minimum contribution rate of 14.7% to the Local Firefighter’s Retirement Fund.
MOTION:
I MOVE TO (APPROVE/DENY) UPDATING MINIMUM CONTRIBUTION TO FIRE
RETIREMENT FUND FOR RETIREE COLA.

23

ORDINANCE NO. __________
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CORSICANA,
TEXAS, ESTABLISHING A CONTRIBUTION RATE TO THE TEXAS LOCAL
FIREFIGHTER’S RETIREMENT FUND AND SUPERSEDING ALL PRIOR
ORDINANCES RELATED TO RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTIONS.
WHEREAS the City Council of the City of Corsicana, Texas has determined that it is in
the best interest of the City to amend the contribution rate to the Texas Local Firefighter’s
Retirement Fund to match the Texas Municipal Retirement System; and
WHEREAS the City Council desires to ensure the continued financial health and
sustainability of the retirement system for its Firefighters by setting a clear minimum
contribution rate.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of
Corsicana, Texas that:
Section 1.
The City of Corsicana hereby establishes the minimum contribution rate to the
Texas Local Firefighter’s Retirement Fund at fourteen and seven-tenths percent (14.7%) of
applicable salaries.
Section 2.
This ordinance supersedes and repeals all prior ordinances, resolutions, or
requirements related to retirement contributions, including any previous provisions concerning
the Texas Local Firefighter’s Retirement Fund.
Section 3.
If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this ordinance is for any
reason held to be unconstitutional or invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the
remaining portions of this ordinance.
Section 4.

This ordinance shall take effect immediately upon its passage and approval.

PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED by majority vote of the City Council of the City
of Corsicana, Texas, this 23rd day of February, 2026 by record vote.
