STATON, Judge,
concurring in result. I concur in result. I would hold that there is no need for the trial court to calcu*1104late the money damages, since the exact amount of damages is reflected by the guidelines set forth in the judgment. Furthermore, the exact amount may not be ascertainable at the time of judgment, since the exact amount will depend upon when the City restores the firemen to their previous payroll levels. Furthermore, unless the trial court has the current payroll records before it, there is a considerable opportunity for error. If the trial court sets forth an exact amount, further litigation may result. Therefore, I would not require the trial court to calculate the exact amount of damages to be paid. The exact amount will depend upon the administrative action of the City.
As to the remainder of the majority opinion, I concur.
