Section 86.1150 Retirement age--base pension amount.

86.1150. 1. Any member may retire when such member has completed twenty-five or more years of creditable service and, except as otherwise provided in section 86.1100, shall retire when such member has completed thirty years of creditable service. Upon such retirement such member shall receive a base pension equal to:

(1) For a member retiring prior to August 28, 2000, two percent of such member's final compensation, as defined in section 86.900, multiplied by the number of years of such member's total creditable service; or

(2) For a member retiring on or after August 28, 2000, two and one-half percent of such member's final compensation, as defined in section 86.900, multiplied by the number of years of such member's total creditable service. Such pension shall not exceed seventy-five percent of the member's final compensation.

2. Every member not having thirty years of service must retire at sixty years of age except that on recommendation of the chief of police, the board of police commissioners may permit such member who is sixty years of age or over to remain in service until such member reaches the age of sixty-five years. Such member shall continue to make contributions and receive credit for service until reaching sixty-five years of age, until retirement, or until completion of thirty years of creditable service, whichever occurs first. If such member shall reach sixty-five years of age or shall retire prior to completion of twenty-five years of service, the base pension of such member shall be calculated under subsection 3 of this section.

3. Except as provided in section 86.1100 or in subsection 2 of this section, any member in service who shall have attained sixty years of age and at that time shall have completed at least ten but less than thirty years of creditable service shall retire and shall receive a base pension equal to:

(1) For a member retiring prior to August 28, 2000, two percent of such member's final compensation, as defined in section 86.900, multiplied by the number of years of such member's total creditable service; or

(2) For a member retiring on or after August 28, 2000, two and one-half percent of such member's final compensation as defined in section 86.900 multiplied by the number of years of such member's total creditable service.

4. Subject to the provisions of subsection 5 of this section, whenever the service of a member is terminated for any reason prior to death or retirement and the member has fifteen or more years of creditable service, the member may elect not to withdraw such member's accumulated contributions and shall become entitled to a base pension commencing on the first day of the month following the attainment of the age of fifty-five, if then living, equal to:

(1) For a member whose service so terminates prior to August 28, 2001, two percent of such member's final compensation multiplied by the number of years of such member's creditable service; or

(2) For a member whose service so terminates on or after August 28, 2001, two and one-half percent of such member's final compensation multiplied by the number of years of such member's creditable service.

5. Notwithstanding any other provisions of sections 86.900 to 86.1280, any member who is convicted of a felony prior to separation from active service shall not be entitled to any benefit from this retirement system except the return of such member's accumulated contributions.
