Neenah, WI (AHN) -- When David Voight, a Neenah city sanitation worker, found $1,900 in an envelope while combing through a city scrap heap, he honestly handed over the cash to police. At that time, Voight was told that he had to wait 90 days for the owner to come forward, in absence of which he would get the money. However, city officials are now disputing whether the money is Voight's.

"It's been very hard on me for being honest and then being told that because you're honest we're going to pat you on the back and take your money," David Voight told the AP in a telephone interview Sunday night.

The 52-year-old Voight found the cash in July and abiding by law turned the money over to police and waited for someone to claim it within 90 days.

Since, no body showed up, Voight now says he deserves the money. However the city officials are disputing Voight had access to the scrap heap because he's a city employee.

"I really wanted it to go to the rightful person," Voight said. "But it kind of rubbed me the wrong way that all of a sudden the council said since it was found on city property you can't have it."

On the other hand, city officials argue that the cash found by Voight was entitled to go in a public fund and it is their duty to see the rightful path.

Neenah's city attorney, James Godlewski, told Wbay.com, "Here's a guy who's been honest. He should be rewarded, and I don't think anyone's denying that. At the same time, the City has an obligation to spend the public's funds for the public benefit, and if these are public funds we have constraints on what we can do."

The city council will ultimately decide on Wednesday where the money goes.
