Myers v. City of Oakdale

OPINION

DAVIES, Judge.

The Veterans Preference Hearing Board (board) concluded that the city’s discharge of Robert Myers was reasonable and that no extenuating circumstances existed to justify a modification. The board further concluded that Myers was not entitled to back wages. The trial court reversed the board, ruling that there were extenuating circumstances that justified modification of the discharge and that the board did not have jurisdiction to decide the issue of back wages. The city appealed. We affirm as to back wages and reverse as to modification of discharge.
