Description

In this public employers appeal, we address the impact of The Third Class City Code (City Code) and a city home rule charter on an interest arbitration award regarding retirement benefits, a residency requirement and a change in the health care plan. The Court of Common Pleas of Luzerne County (trial court) (1) affirmed the award limiting excessive retirement benefits for future but not current police officers, (2) affirmed the award to the extent it failed to incorporate the city home rule charters residency requirement, and (3) vacated that portion of the award permitting a change in health care plan. We affirm in part and reverse in part, thereby reinstating the arbitrators award.
