2213-15. Public Authority Liability.
(a) Any obligation or legal liability of the Authority, whether statutory, contractual or otherwise, shall be the obligation or liability solely of the Authority and shall not be the obligation or liability of the County. (Ord. 2278, § 1, 9/10/2002)
(b) Any and all contracts, leases, or other agreements of any nature, including collective bargaining agreements, between the Authority and third parties other than the County shall contain an express provision advising the third party that the Authority is a separate governmental entity and that such agreement does not bind the County. The provision shall state: “The Authority is an independent legal entity, separate and apart from the County of Humboldt. The Authority has no power to bind the County to any contractual or legal obligations. Nor may the obligees of the Authority seek recourse against the County of Humboldt for any financial or legal obligation of the Authority.” (Ord. 2278, § 1, 9/10/2002)
(c) The Authority shall require any and all third parties with whom it contracts, other than the County, to indemnify and hold harmless the Authority, to provide the Authority with written acknowledgment of such indemnification, and to maintain adequate levels of insurance, as determined by the County Risk Manager, naming the Authority as an additional insured. (Ord. 2278, § 1, 9/10/2002)
