Checklist of Up -to -Date Pages
(This checklist will be updated with the
printing of each Supplement)
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page -for -
page substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage andsup-
plementation many pages can be inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to
determine whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of
each page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second
column reflects the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an
up-to-date volume. The letters "00" indicate the pages have not been re-
printed in the Supplement Service and appear as published for the original
Code. When a page has been reprinted or printed in the Supplement Service,
this column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number printed
on the bottom of the page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used in
compiling an up-to-date copy from the original Code and subsequent Supplements.

secured under the Federal Constitution or laws. Legal representation of an officer, employee,
or agent of the city may be provided by the city attorney. However, any attorney's fees paid
from public funds for an officer, employee, or agent who is found to be personally liable by
virtue of acting outside the scope of his employment, or was acting in bad faith, with malicious
purpose, or in a manner exhibiting wanton and willful disregard of human rights, safety, or
property, may be recovered by the city in a civil action against such officer, employee, or
agent. If the city fails, pursuant to this section to provide an attorney to defend a civil action
arising from a complaint for damages or injury suffered as a result of any act or omission of
action of any of its officers, employees, or agents and fails to provide such attorney, the city
shall reimburse the defendant who prevails in the action for court cost and reasonable
attorney's fees.
(b) Payment of judgments or settlements against certain public officers or employees.
When the city fails to provide insurance coverage for action set forth in subsection (a) and

complaint for damages or injury suffered as a result of any act or omission of action of
any officer, employee, or agent in a civil or civil rights lawsuit described in subsec-
tion (a). If the civil action arises under section 768.28, Florida Statutes, as a tort
claim, the limitation and provision of section 768.28 governing payment shall apply.
If the action is a civil rights action arising under 42 U.S.C. 1983, or similar federal
statutes, payments for the full amount of the judgment may be made unless the
officer, employee, or agent has been determined in the final judgment to have caused
the harm intentionally.
(2) Any compromise or settlement of any claim or litigation as described in paragraph (1)
subjectt to the limitations set forth in that poragr ph.
(3) Any reimbursement required under subsection (a) for court costs and reasonable
attorney's fees when the city has failed to provide an attorney and the defendant
prevails.
