In order to maintain an action for a claim, other than a tort claim as defined in section 13-903, it shall be necessary, as a condition precedent, that the claimant file such claim within one year of the accrual of such claim, in the office of the city clerk, or other official whose duty it is to maintain the official records of a city of the primary class.Source   Laws 1901, c. 16, § 126, p. 124;   R.S.1913, § 4580;   C.S.1922, § 3967;   C.S.1929, § 15-839;   R.S.1943, § 15-840;   Laws 1967, c. 59, § 1, p. 196;   Laws 1979, LB 145, § 1;   Laws 1983, LB 52, § 1;  Laws 2020, LB1003, § 148.

The conditions precedent to maintaining an action against a city do not apply to actions allegedly arising under 42 U.S.C. section 1983. Bauers v. City of Lincoln, 245 Neb. 632, 514 N.W.2d 625 (1994). Concerning a contract claim against a city of the primary class, this section requires that such claim be filed with the city clerk and disallowed before a claimant, pursuant to section 15-841, may timely appeal from the city's disallowance and thereby become entitled to invoke a district court's power to adjudicate the merit of the disallowed claim. Andrews v. City of Lincoln, 224 Neb. 748, 401 N.W.2d 467 (1987). This statute is not an exclusive remedy for a fireman entitled to benefits under Firemen's Pension Act. Hooper v. City of Lincoln, 183 Neb. 591, 163 N.W.2d 117 (1968). A timely filing of a tort claim under the Political Subdivisions Tort Claims Act is not sufficient to satisfy the filing requirements of this section for purposes of the application of the Nebraska Wage Payment and Collection Act, because the two underlying claims are separate and distinct. Craw v. City of Lincoln, 24 Neb. App. 788, 899 N.W.2d 915 (2017).

In an appeal by a taxpayer in case the claimant finally recovers judgment for as great a sum exclusive of interest as was allowed by the city council, such appellant shall pay all costs of such appeal. In an appeal by a claimant in case claimant fails to recover as great a sum exclusive of interest as was allowed by the city council, such claimant shall pay all costs. No warrant shall issue for the payment of any such claim until the appeal is finally determined. No appeal bond shall be required of the city by any court in case of appeal by the city, and judgment shall be stayed pending such appeal.Source   Laws 1901, c. 16, § 126, p. 124;   R.S.1913, § 4581;   C.S.1922, § 3968;   C.S.1929, § 15-840;   R.S.1943, § 15-841;   Laws 1967, c. 59, § 2, p. 196;   Laws 1983, LB 52, § 2;  Laws 2020, LB1003, § 149.  Annotations  In a wage claim brought under this section against a city of the primary class, there is nothing in the plain language of section 48-1231 that requires an employee to plead a specific cause of action for attorney fees or to file a separate proceeding for attorney fees in order to receive an award of attorney fees under the Nebraska Wage Payment and Collection Act. Rauscher v. City of Lincoln, 269 Neb. 267, 691 N.W.2d 844 (2005). Concerning a contract claim against a city of the primary class, section 15-840 requires that such claim be filed with the city clerk and disallowed before a claimant, pursuant to this section, may timely appeal from the city's disallowance and thereby become entitled to invoke a district court's power to adjudicate the merit of the disallowed claim. Andrews v. City of Lincoln, 224 Neb. 748, 401 N.W.2d 467 (1987). An appeal from the disallowance of a claim against a city of the primary class is perfected by filing a notice of appeal and bond. The filing of a transcript is not a jurisdictional requirement. Cole Investment Co. v. City of Lincoln, 213 Neb. 422, 329 N.W.2d 356 (1983).
