(a) The provisions of this chapter shall not be construed so as to impair, alter, limit, modify, abrogate or restrict any immunity from liability available to the City and/or its public officials or employees or any other benefit provided by the statutory or common, state or federal law to the City, public officials or public employees.
(b) The benefits provided under this chapter shall apply whether or not the public official or public employee is sued in an individual or representative capacity and whether or not the public official or public employee is still in office or employed by the City, provided, however, that the acts complained of were committed during the course of and as a result of his public employment.
(c) Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as a waiver of any defense which the City may assert in any action in tort or contract brought against it or any officer of the City. Defense by the City of any action shall not be deemed an admission by the City that the acts or omissions of the officer which gave rise to the action in tort or contract were within the actual or apparent scope of the officer's employment or public duties with the City.
