§ 26-14.044. Commission liability.

(a)

Any obligation of the county commission, whether statutory, contractual, or otherwise, shall be the obligation solely of the commission and shall not be the obligation of the county of Contra Costa.

(b)

Any and all contracts, leases or other agreements of any nature between the commission and third parties other than the county shall contain an express provision advising the third party that the commission is a separate public entity and that such agreement does not bind Contra Costa County.

(c)

The commission shall require any and all third parties contracting with the commission to indemnify and hold harmless the commission, to provide the commission with written acknowledgment of such indemnification, and to maintain adequate levels of insurance, as determined by the county's risk manager, naming the commission as an additional insured. For any particular contract, the commission may approve a variance to and from some or all of the requirements of this subsection but only where the variance and reason for its granting by the commission are set forth in the commission's official meeting records and minutes.

(Ord. 99-44 § 2).
