§ 37.06. Replacement allowance.

(a)

Each person of the uniformed radio maintenance unit of the department of police shall be entitled to and given by the department a credit allowance, the amount of which is subject to negotiation in labor contracts, which can be used by him or her for the replacement of worn or damaged uniforms hereinabove specified. Said uniform replacement allowance shall be cumulative from year to year. Said allowance shall not in any case be used for such purposes as defined in this chapter until specific authorization of the chief of police has been obtained by each person seeking use of his or her credit allowance.

(b)

When permission is granted to any person in the radio maintenance unit to use any part of his credit allowance by the chief of police, said allowance shall be applied by the person who is granted permission for the use thereof on the cost of the replacement of the item of uniform as said cost is charged by the party holding the contract from the City of Saint Paul to furnish such replacement.

(c)

Any credits remaining in the accounts of each person at the time of his or her separation from the service for any cause shall be cancelled. No person shall receive any credit allowance for any period in which said person has been suspended by the chief of police.
