(b) Any member of the police and fire department of a city to which this subpart applies who has been in continuous service thereof for as long as 20 years, upon making written application to the board of trustees therefor shall, without medical examination or disability, be retired from services in such department and upon such retirement the board of trustees shall direct the payment to such retired member, monthly from such fund the amount hereinafter provided for his or her particular position, office, salary, or class of work.
