Mayor Orrin Juel

Brookings , South Dakota 57006
Dear Mayor Juel :
It was recently brought to my attention by CHARLES
KUECHENMEISTER , a resident of the City of Brookings , that he
questioned the validity of the recent resolution increasing the
salary of the Commissioners and Mayor because it had not been
done in September . Following his inquiry, I checked our City
Ordinance , Ordinance No. 5-83 which is set forth in Sections
2-22 and 2-23 of the Revised Ordinances of the City of
Brookings . Those ordinances were adopted in 1983 . They clearly
establish that the salaries must be set by resolution adopted in
September. In view of the conflict with the most recent resolu-
tion which was adopted in December , I am of the opinion that the
resolution , as it pertains to salaries of Commissioners and the
Mayor , would be invalid in that it is in conflict with Section
2-22 and 2-23 of the City Code .
I have prepared a proposed ordinance amending Seetions 2-22
and 2-23 , a copy of which I am enclosing for your information .
I am of the opinion that you should adopt the proposed amended
ordinance and you can thereafter adopt the resolution which pro-
vided for the salary increase .
If you have any questions pertaining to same , please feel
free to contact me .
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
DENHOLM, GLOVER & BRITZMAN LAW FIRM
