Justice EAKIN,
concurring.
I join the majority’s decision that, in light of our narrow certiorari scope of review, the arbitrator’s decision on mootness is not subject to judicial review. Appellee filed a grievance concerning the town council’s October 9, 2002 decision based upon the September 19, 2002 incident; thus, the arbi*545trator only had jurisdiction over that grievance. Council’s October 28, 2002 decision based upon the October 8, 2002 incident was not grieved and hence became final; the arbitrator’s jurisdiction is not implicated here. The arbitrator’s decision involved the question of mootness relating to the only grievance before him — a matter not within our narrow certiorari scope of review.
