(a) The retirement board or the person or entity appointed by the retirement board and named as trustee in any separate trust forming a part of the plan shall serve as the trustee of the trust (the "trustee"). It may adopt and enforce necessary rules and regulations to carry out the purposes of the plan and enable it to properly manage and administer the trust, including employing investment counselors and agents to invest and manage portions of the trust, as the retirement board may direct.
(b) When the actuary certifies that the necessary funds are available, the retirement board, in accordance with Section 45-8A-22.101, may increase the benefits provided for retirees by passing a written board resolution which declares that the monthly benefit paid to each retiree, surviving spouse, or other beneficiary of the retiree shall be increased by a flat dollar amount per month, increased by a flat dollar amount per year of active service per month, or increased to a minimum monthly amount. Additionally, the retirement board may pass a written board resolution to issue thirteenth checks, i.e., an additional payment each year equal to one month's benefits.
