The regular elections of those County officers who are elected
to their positions shall be held in conjunction with Town elections
except to the extent State law requires they be held in conjunction
with biennial State elections. Nothing in this Charter, except as
may be provided generally for county governments by the General Laws,
shall grant any power to remove or dismiss any elected County official.
The County shall indemnify and hold harmless all County officers,
elected or appointed, from personal financial loss and expense including
reasonable legal fees and costs, if any, to the same extent as municipal
officials of the Town of Nantucket are indemnified and held harmless
by the Town of Nantucket pursuant to Chapter 258, Section 13 of the
General Laws. More particularly, the County shall indemnify and hold
harmless all such County officers from personal financial loss and
expense including reasonable legal fees and costs, if any, in an amount
not to exceed one million dollars, arising out of any claim, demand,
suit or judgment by reason of any act or omission, except for an intentional
violation of the civil rights of any person, if the official at the
time of such act or omission was acting within the scope of his official
duties or employment.
