MILLER, Justice
(concurring specially in part, concurring in result in part).
I agree with the majority opinion except for the holding that Kleinsasser’s conduct “falls within the broad parameters of that which is immoral, indecent, or notoriously disgraceful and reflects unfavorably on the city” and “has a tendency to destroy public respect for municipal employees and confidence in the operation of municipal services.”
Certainly, Kleinsasser’s off-duty affair with a married woman was immoral and indecent, but the immorality, in and of itself, did not, in my opinion, reflect unfavorably on the city or tend to destroy public respect for municipal employees or confidence in the municipality’s services. It was the fact that he knowingly assisted another employee in willfully deceiving the city as to hours worked which caused the *740discharge. Additionally, he certainly aided and assisted his paramour in violating Rules 27 1 and 282 of the city’s Standard Schedule of Disciplinary Offenses, which was a part of his employment contract.
I am authorized to state that Justices Morgan and Sabers join in this special concurrence in part and concurrence in result in part.

. Rule 27 prohibits the falsification, misstatement, exaggeration or concealment of material facts in connection with employment, promotion, any record, investigation or other proper proceeding.
