against the City of Ukiah by City employees and public agencies to comply with the claim
filing requirements of Government Code Section 905.

or department of the City, including, but not limited to, the Ukiah Redevelopment Agency.

Section 1607 to make explicit what the City Council believes has been implicit since the

4. The City Council declares these amendments to Section 1607 as a restatement of
existing law.
