The County will undertake the defense of an employee against civil damage suits and will file proper and appropriate counter suits, providing that such suit arose out of actions by the employee in the line of duty; and, provided that defense is requested by the employee and the County Mayor. The request of the Mayor shall be forthcoming except in cases where the County has taken or is in the process of taking disciplinary action against the employee arising out of the incident or incidents which comprise the basis for the suit against the employee for which defense is requested. Even in these cases the County Mayor may at his option provide for the defense. Where disciplinary action is reversed or overturned on appeal, the County will undertake the defense of the employee as provided above from the time of said reversal or overturning. If an employee received a non-appealable discipline and such discipline would otherwise prevent legal defense under this section as provided above, such disciplinary action may be appealed to a hearing examiner.
