      Timecards

Dear Mr. Willert,

In your capacity as a counsel for the City of Belle Fourche you have requested
an official opinion from the Attorney General's Office on the following question:

QUESTIONS:

   1.) Does South Dakota law give municipal aldermen authority to access
      individual employee timesheets?

   2.) Does SDCL 1-27-1.3 mandate the disclosure of employee timesheets as
      public records?

ANSWERS:

   1.) No state law authorizes individual aldermen to access municipal
      employee timesheets.

   2.) SDCL 1-27-1.3 does not mandate the disclosure of employee timesheets
      as public records.
