(b) Hear and decide all applications for relief, pensions, annuities, retirement, or other benefits under the provisions of this article. Action on such applications shall be final and conclusive; except that, when, in the opinion of the board, justice demands that said action should be reconsidered, the same may be reversed by said board.

(c) Keep and preserve a record of actions taken by the board and of all other matters properly before said board.

(d) Make an annual report to the governing body of the employer of the condition of the fund in August of each year.

(3) The board has the power to draw on the fund for the payment of expenses attributable to the administration of the fund, the payment of benefits, and for the purpose of investing all or any part of the fund as permitted by part 5 of this article.

(4) The board may designate one or more financial institutions as custodian of the fund. Such persons shall give surety bonds in such amounts and form and for such purposes as the board requires. All moneys paid or transmitted to the custodian shall be credited to appropriate accounts in the fund and the custodian shall maintain a current inventory of all investments of the fund.
