(A) The city shall not be liable for the loss of any personal property of its employees. The personal property of employees is not included under the city's insurance coverage; therefore, all employees are expected to maintain the proper insurance coverage for their personal property.
(B) Exceptions. Notwithstanding the above, the city recognizes that 16 employees of the Highway Department, one employee of the Fire Department, and one employee of the Airport Authority are required as a term of their employment to provide their own hand tools. In those instances, the city shall pay a yearly allowance to enable the employees to obtain insurance coverage for their hand tools. To obtain the allowance, each employee must provide his department head with a complete inventory of all his personal tools used on the job. The allowance shall be $25 per each $1,000 worth of tools up to a maximum allowance of $150 per year.
