Kansas City contests arbitrator’s ruling to reinstate firefighter in deadly accident
Kansas City officials are opposed to an arbitrator's decision to reinstate firefighter Dominic Biscari, who was involved in a fatal crash while driving a fire truck. Biscari received an Alford plea for three counts of involuntary manslaughter following the incident in 2021. The city is challenging the ruling that Biscari should return to duty with full benefits and backpay after a three-day suspension without pay. Mayor Quinton Lucas expressed the importance of accountability for unlawful actions committed while on duty and emphasized the city's commitment to public safety. The city has filed a motion in court to contest the arbitrator's decision, arguing that it exceeded its authority by addressing issues beyond the grievance, mandating discipline for unresolved matters, and violating established legal precedent.
