The Bay County Employees' Retirement System (BCERS) was established in 1947 to provide retirement benefits to qualifying employees, former employees, and surviving beneficiaries, along with limited death and disability benefits. The Retirement Ordinance outlines the administration and maintenance of the retirement system by creating a Board of Trustees, prescribing the power and duties of the Board, and establishing certain reserves for the retirement system. The Board of Trustees also oversees administration and maintenance of the Voluntary Employees' Beneficiary Association (VEBA), in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the VEBA Trust Agreement.
The Board of Trustees meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 1:30 p.m. in the Commission Chambers, located on the 4th floor of the Bay County Building.
