LEWIS v. CIVIL SVC. COM'N OF CITY OF AMES

No. 08-0596.

776 N.W.2d 859 (2010)

Steven C. LEWIS, Appellee, v. CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION OF the CITY OF AMES, Iowa and City of Ames, Iowa, Appellants.

Supreme Court of Iowa.

January 8, 2010.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Judith K. Parks, Assistant City Attorney, Ames, for appellants.

Jay M. Smith and MacDonald Smith of Smith & McElwain Law Office, Sioux City, for appellee.

STREIT, Justice.

Steven Lewis, a former civil service employee, argues the City of Ames arbitrarily terminated his employment. The city terminated Lewis from the public works department because Lewis's driver's license was suspended for six months after an arrest for operating while intoxicated. We uphold the termination because Lewis failed to maintain his driver's license, which was required for his position.
