Sec. 3.03. LEGAL ADVISOR. (a) The city attorney of the city may ex officio be the legal advisor to the board.
(b) Subject to Subsection (b-1) of this section, the city attorney or an assistant city attorney may attend board meetings and may advise the board on any matter on which the pension system requests a legal opinion from the city attorney.
(b-1) The city attorney or an assistant city attorney is not required to provide an opinion under Subsection (b) of this section unless the opinion is requested by the city council on behalf of the pension system. The city attorney or assistant city attorney may decline to provide the opinion if the subject matter of the request is too dependent on disputed facts to permit a generalized opinion, as determined by the city attorney or assistant city attorney.
(c) The board may retain other attorneys to serve as legal advisors to the board. The executive director may hire a chief legal officer, subject to confirmation by the board, or other attorneys if necessary to carry out the business of the pension system. Compensation for a chief legal officer or other attorneys hired under this subsection shall be made in accordance with Section 4.01 of this article.
