Section 205, Compromise of claims, of the Second Class Cities
Law of the State of New York is hereby superseded and amended in its
application to the City of Yonkers, to read as follows:
|
"Section 205. Compromise of claims.
The Corporation Counsel shall, whenever the interests of the
City will be served thereby, enter into an agreement, in writing,
subject to the approval of the City Council, to compromise and settle
any claim against the City, except that compromise and settlement
of (1) a claim relating to personal injury for an amount less than
$5,000 or (2) a claim relating to property damage for an amount less
than $10,000 shall be subject to the approval of the Mayor, the Comptroller
and the Corporation Counsel, instead of the City Council, which agreement
shall constitute a valid obligation against the City; and the amount
therein provided to be paid shall be included in the next City tax
budget and be collected and paid the same in all respects as a judgment
against the City. If, however, before the adoption of the City tax
budget, there shall be received by the Comptroller from any source
any moneys not otherwise appropriated, the amount in the agreement
provided to be paid shall be paid out of such moneys so received,
so far as they will satisfy the same.
| ||
[Added 11-13-1992 by G.O. No. 10-1992]
The City of Yonkers, and the Mayor, Comptroller, Commissioner
of Fiscal Services and Corporation Counsel, shall not make a payment
in excess of $2,000 on any claim, award, order or judgment in connection
with any judicial, arbitration or administrative proceeding unless,
at least 10 days prior to said payment, written notification is given
to the City Council, with a copy filed with the City Clerk, of a true
and correct copy of the claim, judgment, award or order requiring
payment to be made, together with a full and detailed explanation
of the circumstances thereof. A willful violation of this section
by any City official shall be a Class I offense.
[Added 1-23-2001 by L.L. No. 3-2001]
No civil action shall be maintained against the City, its officers, or employees for damages to property or injury to person or death sustained in consequence of any street, highway, bridge, wharf, culvert, sidewalk or crosswalk being out of repair, unsafe, dangerous or obstructed unless the claimant has complied with the provisions of § C24-11 of the Charter of the City of Yonkers.
