A.
Authorization of indemnification. Pursuant and subject
to N.J.S.A. 59:10-4, the Township of Florence does hereby authorize
the indemnification of its employees, appointees and officials in
accordance with the indemnification provisions applicable by law to
state employees.
B.
Exceptions and limitations. There shall be no indemnification
pursuant to this section if it is established that the public employee,
appointee and/or official acted or failed to act because of actual
fraud, actual malice, willful misconduct or damages resulting from
the commission of a crime. The Township Council may, but shall not
be required to, indemnify a public employee, appointee of official
for an award of punitive or exemplary damages resulting from a civil

in its sole and exclusive discretion, that the acts committed upon
which the damages are based did not constitute actual fraud, actual
malice, willful misconduct or an intentional wrong.
