335.01 - Department heads settling claims.
The various department heads are authorized to settle or compromise on behalf of the city any claim against the city allegedly resulting from acts of negligence wherein the amount to be paid in settlement of any claim does not exceed two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500.00), and wherein said settlement is deemed to be in the best interests of the city. The compromise or settlement may be effected by securing a release from the claimant. However, no department head shall be authorized to settle claims except those arising out of alleged negligent acts relating to the functions of the department.
