MUNICIPAL CODE 2019 (506-2-34) 28. Ordinance No. 2019-2458 (continued). CITY ATTORNEY COMMENT (continued): what we are doing is anyone that is conducting business in the City of National City, irrespective of the type of business, is required to provide indemnity for any lawsuit that is brought against the City because of their business; and that goes for any business that we end up getting sued for because of their business and we're brought into the action; so in that sense, we're treating everybody the same, not because they're doing their business on the public street when the law has required it. We are a municipal entity, within the State of California, a general law city, so we don't have a choice irrespective of whether we think it is a good law or not."
