SEC. 4.135. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

The City disclaims financial liability for injuries or damages that might result from enforcing this Chapter, and does not intend to create legal obligations on City officers and employees for which the City could be sued for money damages.

When the City enforces the rules in this Chapter, it's trying to help protect people's safety and welfare. However, the City is saying it won't pay money damages if something goes wrong or if someone gets hurt—even if a City employee didn't follow the rules perfectly. This means you generally can't sue the City for cash compensation because of how it enforced this Chapter.

• Controversial:Liability waivers that limit the City's responsibility for officer conduct can be contentious, especially when they may shield the City from accountability for enforcement actions that harm residents.
• Could be simpler:The double-negative phrasing ('not assuming, nor is it imposing...an obligation for breach of which it is liable') could be restated more directly as 'The City is not liable for money damages from enforcement of this Chapter.'
