(a) The salary of the City Attorney, as the same is established from time to time by Council, shall be compensation for all services rendered as attorney and counsel for the City and for all officers and departments thereof in matters relating to their official duties. Such salary is to be paid monthly, or at the discretion of the Auditor. Such City Attorney shall not be required to render service to the City, or to any official thereof, or to the Bexley School District, in any litigated matters for the salary and compensation aforesaid; should his or her services be required in any case wherein the City, or any official thereof, or the Bexley School District, is involved, or is about to be involved, in litigation, he or she shall receive for such services such sum as may be agreed upon by such City Attorney and Council.
(Ord. 5-51. Passed 1-9-51; Ord. 2-84. Passed 2-14-84.)
(b) In addition to his or her salary, and because the City does not maintain a separate office for the conduct of the official duties of the City Attorney, and because it is necessary for the City Attorney to perform such duties at his or her own expense, the City shall provide such books, supplies and clerical help as is deemed necessary to fulfill the functions of the office.
