All claims for damages or injuries against the City arising out of tortious conduct shall be presented in writing and filed with the Clerk. Such claims shall accurately state the time, place, source, nature and extent of the alleged damage or injuries and give the actual residence of the claimant by street and number at the date of presenting such claim and for six (6) months immediately prior to the time of such claim for damages accrued, and shall be verified by affidavit of the claimant or such other person as may be authorized by law to verify such claims to the effect that the same is true. No action shall be commenced against the City for damages arising out of tortious conduct until a claim has been presented to and filed with the Clerk. The omission to present any such claim shall be a bar to any action against the City for the claim. The requirements to file a claim shall not affect the applicable period of limitations within which an action must be commenced, but such period of limitations shall begin and shall continue to run as if no claim were required. Neither the Council, nor any department, board, officer, or authority, shall allow, make valid, or in any manner recognize any demand against the City which was not at the time of its creation a valid claim against the City; nor shall they or any of them ever allow or authorize to be paid any demand which without such action, would be invalid or which shall have been barred by any statute of limitations or for which the City was never liable; and any such action shall be null and void.
