What happened
Lake Wales City Commissioners reviewed two ordinances on February 12, 2025, concerning the municipal firefighter’s and police officer’s pension plans. These ordinances propose raising the minimum age for retirees to receive minimum benefits from 72 to 73. The proposed changes align with the Consolidated Appropriations Act, which was signed into law on December 29, 2022.
