Reeder v. Bd. of Pilot Commissioners CA1/3
Craig E. Reeder, a retired inland pilot, appeals from the denial of his petition for a writ of mandate seeking to set aside a decision of the Board of Pilot Commissioners for the Bays of San Francisco, San Pablo, and Suisun (the board) denying his application for a pension. The board found that appellant failed to satisfy the final two of the five eligibility requirements for a pension specified in Harbors and Navigation Code section 1164, subdivision (c), which reads as follows: “Except as provided in subdivision (d) [which is inapplicable], an inland pilot shall be eligible for the pension provided in Section 1163 if the inland pilot meets all of the following requirements: [¶] (1) Held a license as an inland pilot and served at least 10 years in that capacity after January 1, 1987, or has attained 62 years of age, whichever occurs first. [¶] (2) Retired after January 1, 1987. [¶] (3) Is at least 60 years of age. [¶]
