Service ProvidersActuary · Custodian · Advisor · Auditor

Service providers: Not separately published in PRB filings or on the fund's public materials. TLFFRA boards typically retain an independent actuary, a bank custodian, an investment consultant, and an external auditor. Service-provider engagements are local-board records and typically become public through board minutes (available by request from the plan administrator) or in the audited financial statements filed with the PRB. The fund's website (linked above) often lists current providers under a "Service Providers" or "Board" tab.

Sponsoring AgencyKilleen Fire Department

Sponsoring Fire Department: The Killeen Fire Department covers the City of Killeen, Bell County. The fund covers 240 active firefighters and 86 annuitants as reported on the PRB-1000 filing. Department-level operational detail (station count, apparatus, accreditation, ISO rating) is not separately tracked in TLFFRA filings; the City of Killeen's fire department web page is the canonical source.

Expense ratio note: The "Total Expenses (% of Assets)" line is the PRB's published total operating expenses (administrative + investment-related) as a percentage of net assets, sourced from each plan's annual financial report. Per the PRB's own disclaimer: "Due to inconsistencies in reporting of investment expenses, this data may not be an entirely accurate depiction of true investment-related expenses paid." Lower is generally better but cohort context matters. Smaller funds carry higher fixed administrative costs. The 42-fund average is 0.708% (70.8 bps); median is 0.675% (67.5 bps).
