§ 27A-145. Legal representation.

Latest version.

(a)

The city will provide legal representation for a plan member or former plan member in a claim, except an excluded action, in which the asserted or alleged liability of the member results from a covered act occurring prior to termination of the plan.

(b)

The city attorney or his designee shall select, supervise and/or retain, if applicable, attorneys, experts, and investigators he deems necessary in connection with the defense of any plan claim.

(c)

If the city attorney determines that there exists a conflict of interest for the city attorney to represent a plan member (pursuant to subsection (a) of this section), the city will pay the reasonable fee of a private attorney to represent the plan member. The private attorney will be selected by the claims board.
