Hoffman v. County Board of Commissioners

OPINION

NIERENGARTEN, Judge.

The Mille Lacs County Attorney appealed from action taken by the Mille Lacs County Board of Commissioners (Board) in setting the 1987 budget and salaries for the county attorney and employees in the county attorney’s office. The district court found the Board’s action in setting the salaries for the attorneys was arbitrary, capricious and with “unreasonable disregard” of the responsibilities and duties of the positions. The court ordered the Board to set salaries consistent with the trial court’s findings of fact. The Board appeals. We reverse.
