Sec. 11-95. - Liability protection.

In the event that a member of the city council, the mayor, or any officer of the city appointed by the city council or the mayor is sued in any civil proceeding arising out of or related to actions performed in the course of their service to or employment with the city, the city shall defend such individual against the civil claim and pay any judgment and costs resulting therefrom.
