Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Pension Code
Village failed to meet its statutory contribution obligations to its police and firefighter pension funds. Administrative hearing officer found that Village failed to show good cause for failing to meet its obligations. Village fully funded IMRF covering its other employees because that fund had enforcement provision. Thus, Village spent its money on discretionary endeavors it prioritized more than contributing to police and firefighter pensions, in violation of Pension Code. (CONNORS and MIKVA, concurring.)
