2.46.060 Effect of compliance with conditions.
If legal representation of an official, employee or volunteer is undertaken by the city, all of the conditions of representation are met, and a judgment is entered against the official, employee or volunteer, or a settlement made, the city shall pay such judgment or settlement not otherwise covered by insurance in the same manner as a judgment or settlement against the city, except any portion of the judgment which is for punitive damages.
The City Council may, by separate resolution, authorize payment of a judgment for punitive damages against a person who has been represented by the city attorney or a designated attorney under VMC Section 2.46.020(b). The city reserves the right to appeal any judgment at its sole discretion. (Ord. M-3179 § 7, 1995)
