Director of Retirement System Is Dismissed
The county’s retirement system has dismissed its executive director amid growing clashes with the board of directors over the way the organization is run.
Officials on Thursday declined to give specifics about last week’s ouster of Ray Fleming, but said the departure did not suggest problems with the system’s $5-billion pension fund.
“He was dismissed because the board desired to move to a new management style,” said Harvey Leiderman, attorney for the retirement board.
Board officials are beginning a search for a successor. Fleming could not be reached for comment.
