§ 27A-145. Legal representation.
(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.
