Fla. Stat. § 185.30: Depository for retirement fund.

For any municipality, chapter plan, local law municipality, or local law plan under this chapter, all funds of the municipal police officers’ retirement trust fund of any municipality, chapter plan, local law municipality, or local law plan under this chapter may be deposited by the board of trustees with the treasurer of the municipality acting in a ministerial capacity only, who shall be liable in the same manner and to the same extent as he or she is liable for the safekeeping of funds for the municipality. However, any funds so deposited with the treasurer of the municipality shall be kept in a separate fund by the municipal treasurer or clearly identified as such funds of the municipal police officers’ retirement trust fund. In lieu thereof, the board of trustees shall deposit the funds of the municipal police officers’ retirement trust fund in a qualified public depository as defined in s. 280.02, which depository with regard to such funds shall conform to and be bound by all of the provisions of chapter 280.
