A city employee requesting reimbursement under the provisions of this article shall file their verified application for reimbursement with the head of the employee’s department unless the employee is a department head or a city officer, in which case the employee shall file such verified application with the Director of the Office of Administration and Research Services. The city employee shall file such application within five working days after the employee becomes aware or should have become aware of the damage, destruction or loss of the property, prostheses or tool, unless prevented by disability, act of God, or other good reason, and the person or persons responsible for approving the application so find. If the application is filed more than five working days after the damage, destruction or loss of the property, prostheses or tool, because the applicant was not aware of such damage, destruction or loss, the applicant shall state in the application the facts explaining why the applicant was not so aware. Whenever an application is filed under this article, the damaged property, prostheses or tool shall accompany the application for reimbursement, if possible. If not possible the application shall so state, and why. The department head or the department head’s authorized representative or, in the case of department heads or city officers, the Director of the Office of Administration and Research Services shall either retain the damaged property, prostheses or tool until the application is finally determined or return it to the applicant, in which case the applicant shall retain the damaged property, prostheses or tool until the application is finally determined.
