Description
The appellee Clark, Commissioner of the Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources (KRS 150.061), discharged two employes, who thereupon appealed to the Personnel Board (KRS 18.270) demanding reinstatement. The Attorney General, conceiving it his duty to act as counsel for the Personnel Board in this connection, declined a request that he represent the Commissioner. The Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources Commission (KRS 150.023) then authorized the Commissioner to, and he did, contract for the services of private counsel, the appellees Marshall and Leary. When these attorneys appeared before the Personnel Board at a pre-hearing conference and presented motions to dismiss the appeals and quash certain subpoenas, their right to represent the Commissioner and his department was questioned. No action was taken on the motions. Meanwhile a dissenting member of the Commission had notified the attorneys in writing that their contract of employment was unauthorized and that the fee therein provided could not be paid with funds of the department.
