1Opinion of the Court
BROWN, Chief Judge.
11 Five Shreveport firefighters filed suit against the City of Shreveport (“the City”) alleging that the City’s incentive pay plan discriminates in violation of the equal protection guarantee of Louisiana Constitution Art. I, § 3. Plaintiffs seek damages, backpay, and adjustments and contend that only the Shreveport Municipal Fire and Police Civil Service Board (“the Board”) has the authority to enact an incentive pay plan. They further claim the plan used by the City, which was not established or approved by the Board, is arbitrary and discriminatory.
