Aldermen Salaries Case Rules City Pella Ordinance Void
Judge rules that Aldermen in Pella Iowa cannot be paid extra compensation for standing committees beyond state law. The decision holds that Section 669 of the 1897 code fixes council pay and that ordinance 45, guaranteeing standing committee pay, is void. The ruling notes only resignation offers an alternative and that cities cannot set own remuneration beyond legislative limits.
