NBV and the FRS

[Unregistered]

Once again the NBV administration, i.e. the Mangers and Commissions have screwed up. As outlined in Mr. Verickers' blog:
http://www.nbvreality.com/2020/01/di...ter-could.html

"Florida law states that if an attempt to defraud the FRS is found then "The employee and the re-employing FRS agency will be jointly and severally liable for reimbursing any retirement benefits paid to the employee. §121.091(9)(c)3, Fla.Stat. (2019)."

This is NOT the first time NBV has hired an employee under FRS guidelines in violation. We all remember one of our Officers' wife D.K. whom was a dispatcher here for years and now retired. The problem was she did not have her six month break as required by law and the Village got caught and payed the price for that violation and poor Doris also had to pay back monies. So what we once have again is our very own NBV administration NOT learning from the past. Pay up because it's coming. Velken was hired and received compensation, made rules and ran the police then the Village in the light in front of all of and the Commission. This was not a mistake this was a deliberate hire, simple just more money down the drain.

No, it’s plain and simple incompetent employees in positions too lazy to research before making decisions. Our HR should be FRS and insurance experts. They’re not and never have been. The city hired Doris without learning anything. The Kennedy family lost 30k. City’s fault. And Kevin, who cares about you anymore. You’ve lost all the real friends you ever had, got sued by a hired hit man, and lost credibility. Not that that matters. We all know you have a crush on Noriega and are afraid to tell him how you feel. Butch up buttercup.

Judge: JUNE C. MCKINNEY

Petitioner: LEWIS VELKEN
vs.
Respondent: DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT SERVICES, DIVISION OF RETIREMENT

Date Filed: 5/22/2019
Date Assigned: 5/22/2019 1:10:00 PM
Last Docket Entry: 2/28/2020

Location: Miami, Florida
District: Southern
Agency: Department of Management Services
Division: Division of Retirement


Status: Closed
Recommended Order on Friday, February 28, 2020.

Summary: Petitioner is an independent contractor pursuant to section 121.021(50) and rule 60S-6.001(33). Therefore, he did not violate the terms of the DROP agreement and gets to retain his FRS retirement benefits.


"112. In light of the foregoing, the Division has not met its burden because
the record does not establish Velken was an FRS employee with the Village.
Instead, the greater weight of the evidence demonstrates Velken was an
independent contractor pursuant to section 121.021(50) and rule 60S-
29 6.001(33). The Division allows one to work as an independent contractor
because it does not violate the six-month restictions, as outlined in the
Division's Handbook and Ready.Set.Retire. Accordingly, Velken, as an
independent contractor working for a private employer, did not violate the
terms of the DROP agreement and should maintain his pension.

RECOMMENDATION
Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is
RECOMMENDED that the Department of Management Services, Division of
Retirement, enter a final order dismissing its request for reimbursement of
past FRS benefits, reinstating Petitioner's monthly retirement benefits, and
paying any and all past due amounts to Petitioner, with interest."

LV keeps his pension after doing nothing wrong and the city gets it's scumbag LE admin back after doing everything wrong. I think LV should get his job back and sue the city for that. At a boy LV! Wish you'd come back, I know of several people who miss never tasting you after you rejected them.
