This amount is not to be paid as a stipend to Bargaining Unit members. There shall be no carryover of any amount not used in a calendar year. All uniform and equipment purchases are subject to the prior approval of the Sheriff. All uniforms and equipment purchased by the Sheriff under the provisions of this Article are, and shall remain, the property of the Sheriff. All uniforms and equipment purchased by the Sheriff must be returned to the Sheriff when an employee separates from employment with the Sheriff’s Office.

A pro rata share of this amount will be paid bi-weekly as part of the City’s normal payroll processing or allocated to the voucher program. (Note: 50% shall be by check and reported as taxable income and 50% shall be by voucher OR 100% shall be by voucher, as elected each January by the individual employee.) Personnel assigned to the Investigations Bureau may expend the voucher portion for appropriate items according to their assignment and as approved by the Bureau Commander. Reimbursement for any ordinary clothing (plain clothes assignments) will be reported as taxable income.
