North Collier Firefighters' Retirement Plan
The plan provides retirement benefits exclusively for the sworn firefighters and paramedics of the North Collier Fire Control and Rescue District, as well as members of IAFF Local #2297. It operates as a single-employer public pension fund governed by a Board of Fire Commissioners that sets policy, budget, and direction for the District. The plan's asset base is not publicly disclosed, and no mandated public portfolio reporting was captured for this record. Florida Chapter 175 pension plans are funded through a dedicated tax on property-insurance premiums, combined with employee contributions and investment earnings. The statute requires annual actuarial studies, and the plan's financial health is monitored by the Florida Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement. The retirement plan does not maintain a separate investment office, public investment-policy statement, or disclosed manager roster in the materials reviewed. Adjacent administrative activity occurs through the District's Board of Fire Commissioners, which holds monthly public meetings to oversee operational and financial matters, with the 2026/2027 budget workshop scheduled for July 23, 2026. The structural differentiator is the dedicated funding mechanism under Chapter 175 itself: the plan's primary revenue stream is a statutory levy on casualty-insurance premiums written within the District, which insulates the pension from the annual appropriation battles that affect many municipal plans.

Frequently asked questions
How is the plan funded?
The North Collier Firefighters' Retirement Plan is funded through a dedicated tax on property and casualty insurance premiums written within the District, as prescribed by Florida Statute Chapter 175. Employee contributions and investment earnings supplement the revenue base. The plan does not rely on annual municipal appropriations, which structurally separates its funding from the District's general operating budget.
What statutes govern the plan's operation?
The plan operates under Florida Statute Chapter 175, which establishes uniform standards for municipal firefighter pension funds across the state. Compliance and funding adequacy are determined by annual actuarial valuations. The Florida Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement, provides state-level oversight and receives required reporting from the plan.
Who oversees investment decisions?
No separate investment committee, dedicated CIO, or investment-policy statement was identified in the materials reviewed. The plan's Board of Fire Commissioners — the same board that governs the North Collier Fire Control and Rescue District — sets policy and budget for the plan during publicly noticed monthly meetings. Specific investment delegation, if any, is not disclosed.
Are plan assets or holdings publicly reported?
No public portfolio holdings, comprehensive annual financial reports, or asset-allocation breakdowns were captured in this primary-research sweep. Many Florida Chapter 175 plans are not required to publish granular investment-line-item data online, and the District's website does not host such documents. Actuarial valuations filed with the state would contain funded-status figures but are not published on the District's site.
Does the plan have a relationship with any external investment consultants or OCIO providers?
No engagement with an outsourced chief investment officer or external investment consultant was identified in the District's public board materials or website. If such a relationship exists, the engagement is not disclosed through the District's standard communication channels.
