Any employee who suffers damage, without negligence on his part, to his personal property, while in the performance of his duties shall be reimbursed for the damage upon a determination by the City Manager that such damage occurred in the course of his employ, and that the amount claimed is reasonable. Upon approval of the item by the City Manager, a warrant in that amount, payable to the employee suffering the damage, shall be submitted to the City Council for approval at its next most convenient regular Council meeting.
