Pension Boost for Retired Public Safety | Mobile News

After nearly two decades of waiting, Mobile’s City Council has approved a 2.5% cost-of-living increase for retired public safety workers — police and firefighters who served the city — impacting about 760 former personnel. The last such boost was in 2008. Backed by the Finance Committee as a strong move to protect citizens, the decision comes amid increased budget allocations and a new $200 million bond expected over 30 years. Council members acknowledge they’d like to do more, but this is a major step toward stabilizing pensions and honoring those who served. It’s not the end — further funding may come during the current administration — signaling a long-term commitment to retirees’ financial security.
