Travis County ESD#6 Firefighters' Relief & Retirement Fund

Travis County ESD#6 Firefighters' Relief & Retirement Fund

The Travis County ESD#6 Firefighters' Relief & Retirement Fund was founded in 2007 to provide retirement security for firefighters serving western Travis County. Chairman Scott Falltrick, a 23-year veteran and Captain with Lake Travis Fire Rescue, has led the Board of Trustees since the plan's inception. The Fund is established under the Texas Local Fire Fighters' Retirement Act (TLFFRA), a statutory framework that governs firefighter pension systems across Texas and defines the contribution structure from active members and the public employer. With total net assets estimated at approximately $15 million (per Altss estimate), the Fund maintains a conservative public-markets orientation. The investment providers list includes Frost Bank and Sage Advisory Services, where Trustee Jeffrey Timlin serves as a Principal and Managing Director. While the Fund does not disclose a detailed asset allocation, its provider roster suggests a mix covering public equities, fixed income, and real assets. The geographic focus of its portfolio is domestic, consistent with the statutory footprint of a Texas municipal pension plan. The Board comprises seven trustees — three firefighter representatives and four civilian appointees — and is supported by a network of professional service providers. Consulting actuary Rudd & Wisdom, auditor Montemayor Hill & Company, and legal counsel Jackson Walker LLP support the plan's fiduciary operations. The Fund maintains membership in TEXPERS, the Texas Association of Public Employee Retirement Systems, placing it within the ecosystem of similarly situated municipal plans that share benchmarking data and educational resources. The Fund's defining structural feature is its status under TLFFRA — a localized public pension system that operates with a narrower mandate and smaller scale than statewide systems like the Texas Municipal Retirement System. Governance is split between a firefighter-dominated Board and an external administrative infrastructure, with day-to-day pension administration handled by Tinsley Administrative Solutions and investment oversight spread across multiple registered investment advisers. This multi-provider architecture creates a series of checkpoints that is characteristic of TLFFRA plans, where fiduciary responsibility is distributed rather than concentrated in a single CIO.
