not be unreasonably withheld, is authorized to settle such
grievance and/or arbitration proceedings, and the CTA will be
responsible for payment of those settlements. The service of
notice of the settlement. of any of the aforesaid claims shall be
personal service upon the CTA or by certified mail, and the failure
of the CTA to respond in writing within thirty (30) days from the
date of receipt, shall constitute approval of the settlement by the
CTA.
d). Except as otherwise provided above, in all other venues other than
grievance and arbitration proceedings, CTA will pay for defense
costs of the City of Evanston including counsel, and counsel shall
be selected by the CTA in consultation with the Corporation
Counsel of the City of Evanston, and the CTA will also direct the
defense of the claim in consultation with the Corporation Counsel
of the City of Evanston.
e). If any claim against the City of Evanston or any of its officers,
agents, or employees is made for overtime or premium
compensation wherein liquidated damages are sought pursuant to
29 U.S.C. § 216, and where the claim results from, arises out of or
is connected with work performed by officers pursuant to this
Agreement, the Corporation Counsel of the City of Evanston, at
the expense of the City of Evanston, may appoint counsel and
direct the defense of said claim for liquidated damages. This will
not affect the CTA's obligation to assume the representation
and/or defense of claims for actual damages and to pay for
settlements or awards based on said claims.
13.Indemnification by the CITY OF EVANSTON. Upon receipt of
reasonable notice of a claim or suit, for the action of PD officers or
supervisors while performing duties of the CTA Special Detail and
otherwise hereunder, the City of Evanston shall indemnify and hold

for, and against, and agrees to defend same from and against, any and
5
Page 10 of 17
all suits, claims, grievances, damages, costs, expenses, judgments
and/or liabilities, including costs of defense and reasonable attorneys'
fees, and further agrees to pay any settlement entered into or on behalf
of, or judgment entered against, the foregoing individuals and/or
entities, excluding punitive damages.
14. Procedures for indemnification by the CITY OF EVANSTON. In
such instances where the CTA or any of its officers, agents and
employees are entitled to be indemnified, and held harmless with
respect to claims against them, the parties further agree as follows:
a). Such party(ies) shall have a right to counsel.
b). Such counsel shall be selected by the Corporation Counsel of the
City of Evanston, who will also be responsible for directing the
defense of the claim.
The CTA, its officers, agents and employees are obligated to cooperate with the
City of Evanston during the course of the investigation, administration and/or
litigation of any tort or civil rights claim. Failure to cooperate with the City of
Evanston during the course of the investigation, administration and or litigation of
claims extinguishes any obligation of the City of Evanston hereunder to represent
and/or defend against the claim or to pay for any settlement or award based on such
claim with regard to the CTA and/or the non -cooperating officer, agent or employee.
15. Claims Against Officers in the CTA Special Detail. The City of Evanston upon

shall have legal representation by the City of Evanston in any civil cause of action
brought against an officer resulting from or arising out of the performance of duties
of the CTA Special Detail. The City of Evanston will provide the protections set
forth above so long as the officer is acting within the scope of his/her employment
on the CTA Special Detail and the officer cooperated with the City of Evanston
during the course of the investigation, administration and/or litigation of the claim.
The City of Evanston shall not assume the representation and/or defense of any of
the aforementioned claims if it is determined by the City of Evanston that the officer
alleged to have committed the tortious act or violation of civil rights was acting
outside the scope of his/her employment on the CTA Special Detail, was not acting
in the performance of duties of the CTA Special Detail, or is deemed to have acted
in a willful and wanton manner, nor shall the City of Evanston pay any settlements
or awards based on such claims. The City of Evanston shall have the sole right to
determine whether or not the officer was working within the scope of his/her
employment or performance of duty on the CTA Special Detail or acted in a willful
and wanton manner. A determination by the City of Evanston, that the officer was
acting outside the scope of his/her employment or performance of duty on the CTA

Page 11 of 17

the actions of the officer.

keep confidential all information furnished to it by the CTA or
otherwise learned by it in the performance of this Agreement. Except as
may be required by law, the PD or its officers, agents and employees
