Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Date unavailable
David Matusik vs. Lake Ozark Fire Protection District
David Matusik, an employee of the Lake Ozark Fire Protection District, was terminated by the Board of Directors for insubordination related to the use of Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) and a timekeeping issue. Matusik sought judicial review, and the circuit court reversed the Board's decision and ordered his reinstatement. The appellate court reversed the circuit court's judgment, finding the Board's decision lawful and supported by evidence, thereby reinstating Matusik's termination.
