Claims against the City of Fairfield for money or damages which are exempted by Government Code Section 905 of Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of Part 3 of Division 3.6 of Title 1 of the Government Code of the State of California, and which are not governed by any other statutes or regulations expressly related thereto, shall be governed by this section.

(Ord. No. 76-3, § 3.; Ord. No. 88-30 § 1)

The use of the word "shall" in this code or any city ordinance, resolution, rule, or other regulation, is not intended to impose upon the city, its officers, agents or employees a mandatory duty of care towards persons or property so as to provide a basis of civil liability for damages. Any provision of this code or any city ordinance, resolution, rule or other regulation which governs the conduct of the city, or any of its officers, agents, or employees, shall be deemed to be directory, rather than mandatory so as not to impose any greater civil liability than required by law. It is the intent of this section to preserve the immunities provided by enactments, including the Tort Claims Act, and not to impose on the city or its officers, agents, or employees, a mandatory duty of care toward persons and property so as to provide a basis of civil liability for damages.

(Ord. No. 85-46, § 1)

Any contract made or purportedly made by any person shall not be an obligation of the City unless made in accordance with the provisions of this Section, except as otherwise provided in this Code.

(a) All contracts shall be in writing and shall be signed by a person authorized by State law or this Code or an ordinance, resolution, motion or contract adopted or approved by the City Council. No oral contract shall become an obligation of the City.

(b) For the purposes of this Section, the term "contract" shall refer to any agreement, contract, lease, promise, or other obligation to which the City is, or is alleged to be, a party and shall include, but not be limited to, any contract for equipment, supplies, services, or public works.

(Ord. 98-1, § 1)
