Description
PALMORE, Judge. The City of Frankfort was reclassified from a 3d to a 2d class city in 1956. Later in the same year its electorate adopted the city manager form of government, KRS 89.400 et seq. In January of 1958 the police judge appointed the appellee, Harry Triplett, as clerk of his court, whereupon the board of commissioners enacted an ordinance fixing the clerk's salary at $250 per month and purporting to prescribe his duties. (We say ""purporting"" because, among other things, the ordinance directed the clerk to collect all fines, forfeitures and costs imposed by the police court, a duty that KRS 26.530(2) assigns exclusively to the chief of police.) In 1959, pursuant to a general increase for city personnel, the police court clerk's salary was raised to $275 per month, but on February 9, 1960, a newly elected board of commissioners enacted an ordinance reducing it to $30 per month. Triplett continued to carry out his functions as police court clerk but declined to accept the reduced salary and later brought this action contesting the validity of the 1960 ordinance. The circuit court declared the ordinance unreasonable, arbitrary and void and entered judgment directing that he be paid back wages at the rate of $275 per month to the date of judgment. The city appeals.
