SB 841 North Carolina Senate · 2025-2026 Session

Garner/Town Manager Auth. Settle Claims.

This bill authorizes the town manager of Garner, North Carolina, to settle specific legal claims without needing prior approval from the town council. It raises the limit for settling personal injury or property damage claims from $100 to $10,000, provided the settlement does not exceed the actual loss incurred. Additionally, the town manager can settle debts owed to the town up to $10,000 and handle eminent domain claims within the budgeted amount for approved projects. All settlements must be reviewed by the town attorney and reported to the council, and they will fully release the town from further liability regarding those specific claims.
