2. Select Fifth Member of the City of Jacksonville Beach Firefighters’ Retirement

Quarterly Pension Meeting · 2026-05-26 · agenda_item

The City of Jacksonville Beach is reviewing its pension legal counsel. Pedro Herrera, who previously served as lead counsel for the city's pension plans for at least ten years, has moved to a new firm, Jones Walker LLP. His former firm, Sugarman, Susskind Braswell & Herrera, P.A., also sent correspondence requesting the city's pension plans remain with their firm. The City of Jacksonville Beach General Employees' Board of Trustees, City of Jacksonville Beach Police Officers' Board of Trustees, and City of Jacksonville Beach Firefighters' Board of Trustees are considering this transition. This item is currently under review by the relevant city boards. The work involves legal services related to the city's pension plans, including ongoing support and potential transition of counsel. Local legal service providers specializing in public pension law and municipal legal services may find opportunities. Engaging early before final decisions are made could provide an advantage.
