The responsibility for the proper operation of the fund and the direction of its
policies shall be vested in a board of trustees of twelve (12) members,
consisting of the mayor, the commissioner of public safety, the commissioner of
finance, the director of human resources, two (2) retired members of the fund,
the chiefs of the police and fire department, and two (2) active members of
each department, who shall be elected by ballot by the active members of the
respective departments and shall serve for alternating terms of two (2) years
under rules adopted by the board. One of the active members representing
each department shall be elected on even-numbered years; and the other
active member representing the department shall be elected on odd-numbered
years. In the event of a vacancy of an elected member, the pension board shall
fill the vacancy by appointment until the next regular election.
The retired fund members shall be selected by retired fund members by ballot
to serve two (2) year terms. One (1) retired fund member shall be a retired fire
department member, and the other shall be a retired police department
member. Retired fund members of a department shall submit the names of at
least three (3) nominees from their department to the pension board not less
than three (3) months before the term of office is due to expire. The retired
members of both departments shall have the right to vote for nominees from
either department. For the term beginning October 15, 2000, names of
nominees from each department shall be submitted to the pension board by no
later than August 15, 2000. The pension board shall cause to be prepared an
official ballot which shall be distributed to all retired fund members by mail to
their last known address. The ballot shall contain the name, address, and
former department of each of the candidates. The candidates shall be grouped
together by departments for voting purposes and retired fund members shall be
instructed to vote for one (1) member from each department. Any ballot marked
with more than one (1) vote per department shall be disqualified and not
counted. The retiree from either department receiving the most votes shall
serve a two (2) year term. The retiree from the other department receiving the
most votes shall serve an initial term of one (1) year. Subsequently, retirees
elected in alternate years from each department shall serve two (2) years. In
the event of vacancy of an elected retired fund member of the board, the
retiree receiving the next largest number of votes from the department for
which the vacancy exists shall fill the vacancy until the next election for a
representative of that retiree's department. Retired fund members shall vote for
one (1) candidate from each department by marking a square opposite the
name of the candidate of his choice and returning the marked ballot to the
secretary of the pension board. Votes shall be tabulated by a committee of
three (3) pension board members appointed by the chairman for that purpose.
The tabulating committee shall report in writing to the pension board the results
of the election and the name of the retired fund member who shall serve on the
board.

by 2000 Ky. Acts chs. 333 and 484. Where these Acts are not in conflict, they
have been codified together. Where a conflict exists between a change in
ch. 484 that is a revisory amendment to delete superseded text and a change in
ch. 333 that is nonrevisory and substantive in nature, ch. 333 has been allowed
to prevail. Cf. KRS 7.136(3)
