ANDERSON, Chief Judge
(concurring specially).
I agree with the majority, but write separately because it is unnecessary to employ a statutory analysis to affirm the trial court’s decision. The undisputed facts show that a “special case” or “extraordinary occurrence,” as described in Keiver v. Koochiching County, 141 Minn. 64, 67, 169 N.W. 254, 255 (1918), arose in Crow Wing County. The board therefore acted within its discretion by hiring outside counsel for the limited purpose of providing legal advice on labor relations matters.
