The Lexington Police and Fire Pension Board met on May thirteenth and approved two service retirements, along with several applications for disability benefits. The board, which oversees retirement and financial support for the city's police officers and firefighters, handled routine benefit decisions during the meeting.

The session also took a more solemn tone as members paused to honor two firefighters who have passed away. Billy Ray Morgan and Robert Somers were recognized for their service to the Lexington community. While further details about the two men were not immediately available, the acknowledgment reflects the board's commitment to remembering those who dedicated their careers to protecting the city.
