So when does he start to pick up the tab for his own defense?

When Mayor Byron W. Brown found himself facing allegations of a pay-to-play scheme at City Hall, he turned to one of Buffalo’s most respected defense lawyers.
Six years later, the high-profile lawsuit against the mayor and city drags on, but Terrence M. Connors is off the case, replaced by two other well-known attorneys.
Meanwhile, the taxpayer-funded bill for Brown’s legal defense mounts.
At last count, the city had paid Connors’ $645,341, most of it over the past three years.

The 12th of never! Under the public officer law the city defends him as long as he gave the city the notice required by law.
So if Mark S replaces him as Mayor next election does the City still cover the legal expenses once he's gone?

I think so but I could be wrong on that. I think since it arose when he was a public official the city has to defend him even if the suit continues after he leaves office.
