"Gentlemen:
a
On October 24th, I received a claim from Arthur Wieselmann, Assessor,
I do not recommend payment of said claim for the following reasons.
for legal services rendered to him in the amount of $150.00. a
Page 3.
On the 22nd day of November, 1966, the Common Council did adopt
Ord. #54, As Amended, which provided that all records and equipment
relating to the assessor's position be kept at City Hall, said ordinance
becoming effective May 1, 1967. According to Mr. Clayton Cramer,
Attorney, these City owned records and equipment were not delivered
to City Hall until on or about August 7th, 1967.
It is my understanding that the City may or may not pay the
claim or any portion of it as the City deems just - to a personal
liability growing out of the performance of official duties. By
not complying with aforesaid ordinance until August 7, 1967, I do
not believe that the Assessor was performing said duties of his office.
I, therefore, believe that the taxpayers of the City of Muskego
v
should not be obligated to pay said claim.
