I.C., § 36-8-4-4, addresses uniforms and equipment. The amount of $600 was deleted from this paragraph at the Town's request with “the amount established by ordinance” being substituted as part of the recodification process. Eight hundred dollars ($800.00) was the amount prior to the 1999 Ordinance.
