the employee under the provisions hereof, for the first 30 calendar days of the duration of such disability. Such paid leave shall be in the following manner: accumulated sick leave credit first, then accumulated compensatory time, then accumulated vacation time. Alternatively, an em- ployee may elect not to receive the difference between such pension or other statutory benefits and such employee's regular salary or wage for the 30 days of the duration of such injury, in which case no deductions from accumulated sick leave credit shall be made. During an employee's probationary period, and only during such period, should such employee suffer an on-the-job ill- ness, injury, or disability and have no accumulated sick leave credit, such probationary employee shall be charged with sick leave days if needed under the provisions hereof, and any negative balance of accumulated sick leave days thus created will be carried forward until normal monthly accrual of sick leave days erases such negative balance. The determination of whether such injury, illness or disability arose out of and in the course of employment under this provision shall be the same as that made on the worker's compensation or occupational disease claim of said employee. When such injury, illness or disability was caused under circumstances creating legal liability or damages on the part of some person or entity other than the City, then if action is brought by the employee and judgment is obtained and paid, or settlement is made either with or without suit, then from the amount received by such employee the City shall be reimbursed for any and all amounts paid hereunder. Out of any such reimbursement, the City shall pay its pro rata share of all costs and reasonably necessary expenses in connection with such recovery. If the employee does not bring action against such third party,then the City may in the same manner as is provided for recovery of worker's compensation payments bring action either in its name or the employee's name for such reimbursement. If any other benefit or payment is made or required to be made by the City to such employee, such shall be credited to the City against the payment of wage or salary provided by this Section. ARTICLE 17 UNIFORMS AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING Section 1.

The Union may submit suggestions to the City regarding such uniforms. Employees will be furnished such clothing or devices by the City. Although items such as boots, gloves and the like may vary depending upon the nature, location and circumstances of the work being done from time to time, comparable items will be furnished to employees doing comparable work, and all employees required to wear protective devices for the eyes and protective headgear will be furnished such equipment. The City will pay for prescription safety glasses up to $150.00 dollars per fiscal year. Section 2. The employee having custody of any such clothing or equipment, or other property furnished by the city shall be responsible for the proper use, care, custody and keeping thereof and may be required to replace any item damaged or lost as a result of failing to properly use, care for, or keep such property.
