Heading: the effect of the district court orders

Text: This Court is of the opinion that all Judge Weeks intended to create was an adjustment panel, and it was only upon the suggestion of counsel for Johnson that M.S. A. Section 572.10 was included in the orders and that only for the purpose of following the procedures of the Uniform Arbitration Act. The unilateral action of the Village Council in its initial resolution specified, `He [Johnson] should have a hearing under the Veterans Preference Act' which would have been pursuant to M.S.A. Section 197.146 [197.46]. However, no further reference is made to a hearing pursuant to this statute and the same could never have formed the basis for an agreement to arbitrate, assuming that arbitration can be utilized under the circumstances of this case. The initial approach for the appointment of panel members was for an adjustment panel and not a hearing pursuant to the Veterans Preference Act.
