Chapter 5. PARKING AUTHORITIES
§ 516. Indemnification.

(a) The Wilmington Parking Authority shall indemnify any member who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a member of the Authority, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such member in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if said member acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Authority, and with respect to any criminal proceeding or action, the member had no reasonable cause to believe that the action was unlawful.
(b) Any indemnification under this section shall be made only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the member is proper under the circumstances because the member has met the applicable standard of conduct as set forth in subsection (a) of this section. Such a determination will be made by the Attorney General or the Attorney General's designee within 15 days of the date of receipt of a request for such a determination. Such request shall be filed by the member affected and shall set forth in detail the circumstances supporting the claim for indemnification. In the event the Attorney General fails to make the determination within the time frame specified, the requested indemnification shall be deemed as granted.
(c) Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a member in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Authority in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such member to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such member is not entitled to be indemnified by the Authority as authorized by this section.
(d) No payment shall be made pursuant to the provisions of this section unless the member seeking such payment shall agree that the State be subrogated, to the extent of any payment, to all rights of recovery of such member, shall agree to execute all papers required and shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the State effectively to bring suit in the name of the State.
