On July 16, 2010, the Second District Court of Appeal ruled in City St. Petersburg v. Remia, et al, that the City had to return the pension contributions made by police officers who left employment with the City prior to vesting in the pension.
The issue was that the City did not return the individual pension contributions of police officers who left the department prior to vesting in the pension plan. The Second DCA affirmed the trial court’s determination that this failure to return the police officers’ money violated the police officer pension statute, chapter 185.
Now St Pete has to give the officers back their money.
