City Council Meeting Minutes November 3, 2014 Page 15 of 18 Code of Ethics, but only where specific circumstances exist. This allows a method for defense where the alleged conduct may be within the "course and scope" but defense through the City Attorney's office is not appropriate because of a need to avoid conflicts or appearance of conflicts. The policy applies to the City's elected and appointed officials and employees. As a practical matter, where a claim or legal proceeding is covered by the City's insurance, the City's obligations for defense and indemnity are carried out through the insurance claims defense and adjustment processes. Fiscal Impact: Adopting the proposed defense and indemnification policy will not impact legal or claims handling costs because it simply codifies the City's obligations to defend and indemnify City elected and appointed officials and employees against claims and liabilities arising in the performance of their duties, and the related procedures, exceptions and conditions.
