Daniel Hoiengs v. County Adams Et Al‪.‬

On his own behalf and on behalf of other current and past participants in the defendant-appellee Retirement System for Nebraska Counties (the system), the original plaintiff-appellant, William Fairbanks, then an employee of the defendant-appellee York County, sought a declaration that the employees of the 91 defendant-appellee counties are entitled, under the provisions of the County Employees Retirement Act, Neb. Rev. Stat. § 23-2301 et seq. (Reissue 1991) (the retirement act), to greater retirement contributions from their respective employer counties than is presently the case. He also sought, insofar as is relevant to this review, declarations requiring the defendant counties to contribute the difference in the level of contributions actually made and the level of contributions allegedly required under the retirement act and, although not naming it as a defendant, requiring the Public Employees Retirement Board (retirement board), which administers the system, to compel the counties to contribute as required by the retirement act.
