Where a police chief’s employment agreement stated he could be removed as police chief for any reason and, if the removal was not for willful misconduct, he had the option of continuing his employment by returning to the position of police lieutenant, he was an at-will employee only in the capacity of police chief and had rights to employment as a lieutenant that could be terminated only for cause, so before the city could terminate his right to employment as a lieutenant, it was required by the Public Safety Officers Procedural Bill of Rights Act to provide him with the type of administrative appeal afforded public safety officers who are terminable only for cause.
