1Opinion of the Court
Appellant, Robert Long, appeals from the circuit court's order granting summary judgment in favor of appellees, Water Works and Sewer Board (Board) and its members.
Long was employed by the Board as a water meter reader. Long had been employed by the Board since July 1978. On October 6, 1983 Board assistant general manager Jack Rutledge served Long with "Notice of Possible Disciplinary Action and Hearing." This notice charged Long with entering a reading on the meter book for a residence when, in fact, the register was off the meter and there was no way Long could have read the meter.
