Since this will be a State/city debt you can request payment in gold or silver as stipulated under the U.S. Constitution:
Article 1, Section 10, Clause 1:
No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.
Since the legal tender value of a 1 ozt silver eagle is $1, or a 1 ozt gold eagle is $20 then they have to pay the legal tender value.
Or you can take payment in debt currency that has no defined value and loses it’s purchasing power on a daily basis, your choice.
The state is not "making" the legal tender, they're just using what Congress calls legal tender. Nice try.

Because gold didn't fluctuate. Gold bugs are funny!
