If legal representation of an official, employee or volunteer is undertaken by the city attorney or by outside legal counsel designated under this chapter, 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 outside counsel designated under this chapter. (Ord. 5757 § 1, 2003; Ord. 5264 § 2, 1999.)
