§ 64116 Council Member Liability Protection

• •Council members and workers can't be personally blamed for the council's contracts or agreements.
• •If the council owes money or has costs, it must be paid from the council's own funds, not from the members' or workers' pockets.
• •This rule protects people who work for the council from being sued for the council's mistakes.

A council signs a contract to build a park, but the project goes wrong and costs more money.

The people who work for the council won't have to pay for the extra costs themselves. The council must use its own money to fix the problem.
