agencies instead those in Fort Worth; regarding status of Mayor and Council Communication

and regarding stump jumper bicycles purchased for the Police Department; as to whether or
not the quality of the bicycle and service is as good as first reported by staff; and if the
manufacturer intended to honor the warranty covering service, replacement and repair as one
of the bicycles was already cracked.and requested that staff report on this issue.
City Manager Ivory advised Council Member Silcox that during the budget process there
was some concern expressed by Council Members regarding the amount of money spent on travel
and; stated that an administrative response to that was to find a way to cut cost and still
meet travel needs at least expense to tax payers and it was decided to contact several
larger firms in the City of Fort Worth and ask how their travel arrangements were handled
and was given a name of a firm located in Irving or Dallas and advised the City Council that
we are testing their ability to provide the services required by the City of Fort Worth at
a lower price and this is not an exclusive arrangement and we will likely try other Fort
Worth firms; advised the City Council that the City of Fort Worth is still waiting on the
Buckmeyer decision regarding the curfew issue in Dallas; and advised the City Council that
an informal report will be provided to Council on next week regarding the stump jumper
bicycle.

SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF PAYMENT TO DAVID B. LOBINGIER AS OUTSIDE LEGAL COUNSEL

to represent L. A. Cox in the case of Cherisse E. Hicks et al v. L. A.
Cox, Thomas R. Windham and City of Fort Worth, Cause No. CA -4-89-038-E,
and
2. Adopt the attached resolution fixing $6,720.19 as the amount to be paid
Mr. Lobingier for his services in this matter.
DISCUSSION:
On January 2, 1988, Cherisse E. Hicks received personal injuries when she
attempted to escape from the custody of Officer L. A. Cox. On September 23,

al v. L. A. Cox, Thomas R. Windham and the City of Fort Worth, No. CA -4-89-038-

officer against a suit for damages if the officer requests such legal counsel
and the suit involves official acts which the officer committed within the scope
of his authority. After the Hicks case was filed, Officer Cox requested outside
legal counsel to represent him because certain defenses were available to the
City which were not available to him and there was a potential conflict of
interest. Officer Cox was authorized to retain the services of David B.

2. Adopt the attached resolution fixing in advance, as far as practicable,
the compensation to be paid Mr. Sturns and the firm for their services,

DISCUSSION:
Katherine Sweeney and Laurel K. Laymance have filed Suit No. 352-134119-91 in
the 352nd Judicial District Court of Tarrant County, Texas, against the City of
Fort Worth and David Ivory, Individually and as City Manager of Fort Worth. The
Plaintiffs allege that damages occurred to their residences in the 5400 block
of Rutland Avenue due to a water main break on April 28, 1989. The Plaintiffs
seek recovery of damages both from the City of Fort Worth and from David Ivory.
Chapter 2, Article IX of the Fort Worth City Code establishes a Personal
Liability Indemnity Plan to protect City employees against liability for damages
to third parties which the employees may incur while acting within the course
and scope of their employment. With certain exceptions, Section 2-296 of the
Code provides that when City employees are sued for such damages the City will
provide them with legal representation either through the City Attorney or
outside counsel.
Because the City Manager has been sued individually in the Sweeney case and has
defenses which are different from those available to the City, the City Attorney
recommends that the City hire outside legal counsel to represent the Manager.
Louis E. Sturns of the firm of Decker, Jones, McMackin, McClane, Hall and Bates
is well recognized for his knowledge and experience in the field of civil
litigation. Mr. Sturns has agreed to consult with and represent the City
Manager in this matter. His hourly rate is $150.00. The City Attorney will
represent the City.
