He's testifying in the defamation lawsuit filed by the city's pension board against former city councillor John Ferguson.
Beckett told the jury that Ferguson never expressed concerns or questions about the handling of the pension plan during several closed door meetings, including one with a legal advisor hired to look into that very issue.
He was bewildered at Ferguson's insistence that questions he had about the plan were never answered despite having access to pension reports.
Beckett also testified the pension board was looking out for the good of beneficiaries, even going so far as to ask the Superintendent of Pensions to order the city to make payments it had missed.
Beckett will return to the stand Monday morning at 9.
