The purpose of this chapter is to expedite defense, disposition and
settlement of small claims against the Town of Chenango.
Whenever a claim is filed against the Town of Chenango in an amount
not in excess of $500, the Town Attorney may compromise and settle such claim
without prior Town Board approval.
The Town Board may, by resolution, increase the amount that may be compromised
or settled from time to time and describe the rules and procedure followed
by the Town Attorney.
