LAVORATO, Chief Justice.

The Civil Service Commission of Coral-ville (Commission) appeals from a district court ruling reducing the disciplinary sanction imposed against Britton Johnson from termination of employment to a thirty-day suspension. Johnson" cross-appeals, contending the discipline imposed by the district court should be reduced or eliminated. On our de novo review, we reverse on appeal the decision of the district court and remand for an order reinstating the Commission’s original termination decision. Our decision on appeal disposes of the cross-appeal.
