Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This is a declaratory judgment action wherein the City of Roeland Park and its mayor sought adjudication of the city's right to remove defendant Frederick K. Cross from the position of city attorney. Mr. Cross appeals from the trial court's decision herein. In the early part of 1979 defendant, in his official capacity as city attorney of Roeland Park, directed a memorandum to the city's municipal judge concerning implementation of a proposed diversionary program. Subsequently, the memorandum was brought to the attention of the news media. The memorandum, and particularly defendant's public utterances in respect thereto, were offensive to Mexican-American area residents. The resulting volatile controversy led the city council to ask defendant to resign. This request was refused. On May 25, 1979, the declaratory judgment action herein was commenced by the city to determine its right to remove the defendant from office. On August 6, 1979, the trial court held inter alia that the city could remove defendant for cause and that cause had been shown. Defendant's term of appointment was due to expire on August 15, 1979. On August 8, 1979, the city council met at a special meeting and decided to let defendant serve out his term rather than attempt to remove him. Defendant did so serve out his term and has received all compensation due him for his term of office.
