Notwithstanding whether a person has been criminally charged pursuant to Section 2.32.020 of this chapter, any person who makes the disclosures prohibited in Sections 2.32.010 and 2.32.020, or both, shall be liable to the City of Gridley for all damages which the city establishes were proximately caused by the unauthorized disclosures, said damages to be established in the same manner as obligations upon a contract are determined. The liability called for in this section shall not apply if the person who makes the disclosures prohibited by this chapter first obtains permission from the City Council of the City of Gridley consisting of the affirmative vote of not less than 3 members of the City Council. Nothing in this Chapter 2.32 or in this Section shall be construed to limit any liability to the City of Gridley for which a person might otherwise be responsible, notwithstanding the provisions of this Chapter.
