The defense of the action or proceeding by the Borough would create a conflict of interest between the Borough and the persons involved.
In any other action or proceeding, including criminal proceedings, the Borough may provide for the defense of a present or former official, employee or appointee if the Borough Council concludes that such representation is in the best interest of the Borough and that the person to be defended acted in accord with the standards set forth in § 13-2 of this chapter.
Whenever the Borough provides for the defense of any action set forth herein and as a condition of such defense, the Borough may assume exclusive control over the representation of such person defended, and such person shall cooperate fully with the Borough.
