(A) Each regular Fire Department employee shall receive a uniform allowance as specified in the Union Contract, and each regular Police Officer and Police Dispatcher shall receive the sum of $700 per annum. Said allowance shall be paid on June 30th and December 30th as established by the Safety-Service Director. Any employee whose job is terminated shall reimburse to the city a proportional amount for the amount unearned. A retiring employee shall not be required to reimburse the city.
(B) Provided further, however, that each new appointee to the Fire Department or Police Department shall be entitled to receive the employee's first annual uniform allowance in the first full pay period following the date of the employee's appointment. The first installment of the second year's allowance shall be prorated to reflect the employee's length of service. This shall apply to the trainee classification as well as the regular classifications.
(C) Part-time dispatchers and reserve police officers shall receive a uniform allowance payment based on the number of hours worked during the year. The rate will be based on the regular police officer and regular dispatcher rate.
(D) Provided further, however, that before the employee is entitled to receive the installment of the uniform allowance upon the employee's employment as provided for herein, each new employee must first execute an agreement with the city wherein the employee agrees that the amount of said uniform of said uniform allowance shall be deducted by the city from the employee's final pay if the employee leaves the city’s employment prior to completing a full 6 months as an employee of the city.
