Shippensburg Police Ass'n v. Borough of Shippensburg

In Shippensburg Police Ass'n v. Borough of Shippensburg, 968 A.2d 246 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2009), the Court held "a grievance arbitrator who awards a modification of a police pension plan in the absence of an Act 205 cost estimate requires an illegal act necessitating vacation." Because the record in Shippensburg contained no Act 205 cost estimate, the Court determined the arbitrator exceeded his authority in awarding the pension modification. See also Northampton Twp. (Act 111 awards modifying police pension plans must be made in compliance with Act 205).
