MEMORANDUM OPINION
BRIAN BARNETT DUFF, District Judge.
This case presents an interesting example of how inattention to the words of a contract can thwart a municipality's attempt to shift risks for liability under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1982). Cities and counties would be well advised to monitor such arrangements carefully, or else avoid accepting responsibilities for which the law of municipal liability is not well-established.
