PEORIA, Ill. — The Peoria City Council on Tuesday night voted 9-2 to eliminate the Public Safety Pension fee.
The fee was originally voted on in 2018 and was intended to last from 2019-2021.
The fee was assessed to Peoria property owners and ranged from $12 to $300 depending on the size of the property.
Funds collected by the city over the three years went to Peoria Fire and Police Pension obligations.
News partner 25 News reports the only council members to vote in favor of keeping the fee in place were District 2’s Chuck Grayeb and District 1’s Denise Jackson.
The public safety pension fee will no longer be collected after 2021.
