108.02 DUTIES OF THE BOARD.

   All claims arising from injury or damage from alleged acts of the City in its governmental capacity or which arise from circumstances wherein but for the interposition of some defense peculiar to municipal corporations the City would otherwise be liable at law, or which arise from facts under which the City has the right and obligation in good conscience to pay for such injury or damage, shall be referred to the Moral Claims Board, filed and properly designated, either by number or short title, or both. All such claims shall be carefully investigated by the Board. After such investigation the Board shall either approve with conditions or limitations or disapprove any such claim and append thereto a concise statement of facts upon which its action is based. Such original papers shall be filed in the office of the Director of Law. The Director of Law shall cause to be prepared and introduced into Council a separate ordinance for each moral claim allowed by the Board, except that claims of $2,000.00 or less may be approved and paid by the Board without further approval of Council. Each such ordinance shall set forth the number of each claim, the basis for allowance and the fund from which payment is to be made. Before introducing such ordinance, the Director of Finance shall certify thereon that funds are available for the payments contemplated therein. (Ord. 2002-53. Passed 9-16-02.)
