§ 2.26.010. Public employee defined.  


Latest version.
  • When used in this chapter, the terms public employee and employee shall have the same meaning as the term "public employee" is given in the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, C.R.S. § 24-10-103(4). In addition, these terms shall include within their meaning any official of a board, commission, authority, task force or committee (hereinafter referred to collectively, "board or commission") appointed by the city council and who is also subject to removal by the city council, whether or not such board or commission is itself under the control of the city council. However, with respect to any such official, the city's defense and indemnity obligations under this chapter shall be secondary to any insurance coverage carried by the board or commission for the benefit of the official. Further, these terms may include the "public employees" (as defined in the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, C.R.S. § 24-10-103(4), of any other governmental entity provided the city has entered into an intergovernmental agreement with that governmental entity as authorized by C.R.S. § 29-1-203, and the intergovernmental agreement provides that the other governmental entity may participate in the city's insurance program and such participation is approved by the city's insurer or is approved by the city in the case of self-insurance. However, the city's obligations to defend and indemnify the public employees of the other governmental entity under this chapter shall be governed by the specific terms and conditions of the parties' intergovernmental agreement.
