at the rate of one year for every two years of eligible service. The cost of
such service shall be an amount as established by the Board. Notwithstanding any
other provisions of this chapter, the Board may grant qualified prior service

adopt, if the Board determines that such volunteer has been denied such prior
service credit through no fault of his own.
