§ 9. Appeals.

Subd. 1. The employee or the appointing authority may appeal to the District Court from an order of the board concerning the employee's dismissal or suspension without pay for more than thirty days by serving written notice of the appeal upon the secretary of the board within ten days after he has received written notice of the board's order.

Subd. 2. Within five days after service of the notice upon him, the secretary shall certify the record of the proceedings, including all documents, testimony and minutes to the clerk of the District Court. The clerk shall then place the case on the calendar for determination at the next General Term of the Court to be held at the nearest place in the County where the City is located. The question to be determined by the Court shall be: "Was the order of the personnel board reasonably supported by the evidence"

Subd. 3. The employee or the appointing authority may appeal from the District Court to the Supreme Court in the same manner as provided for in other Court cases; but where the council is not the appointing authority, no appeal shall be taken by the appointing authority, without the consent of the council.
