a commercial general liability insurance policy. MTI further acicnowledges that:

paid directly by City and not by a coinmercial insurance company. Pursuant to
§ 101.021 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, a municipality is liable for
personal injury and death, when such is caused by a condition or use of tangible
personal or real property. Liability attaches only if the municipality would, if it were
a private person, be liable to the claimant according to Texas law. The liability of a
municipality under Chapter 101 of said code is currently limited to money damages
in a m�imum amount of $250,000 for each person and $500,000 for each single
occurrence for bodily injury or death.
(b) City has enacted an ordinance providing for the indemnification of its
employees in accordance with Chapter 102 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies
Code. Pursuant to said chapter, a municipality may pay actual damages awarded
against an employee of the municipality if the damages result from an act or omission
of the employee in the course and scope of his or her employment for the
municipality and arise from a cause of action for negligence. A municipality may
NOT pay damages awarded against an employee that ar�se from a cause of action for
official misconduct or that arise from a cause of action involving a willful or
wrongful act or omission or an act or omission constituting gross negligence.
Payments by a municipality under Chapter 102 of said code currently may not exceed
$100,000 to any one person or $300,000 for any single occurrence in the case of
personal injury or death.
(c) The City will require its contractors and/or subcontractors to carry
commercial general liability, automobile liability, worker's compensation, and
environmental liability or pollution liability. The City will be named as an additional
insured under such policies.
(d) The above recitals are made for information purposes only, and shall
not be construed to give City any rights or privileges greater than those presently
provided by Texas statutory law.
