A. Whenever any such officer or employee uses any city-owned vehicle in the performance of any official duty under the Charter or ordinances of the city, such officer or employee shall cause a record to be kept of out-of-pocket expenditures made by said official or employee in the operation of such vehicle, and upon presentation of a claim therefor and the approval thereof by the council, a check shall be issued to reimburse such officer or employee for the amount of such claim as approved.

B. The mayor, as chief executive officer of the city, and the city manager, as chief administrative officer of the city, shall be entitled to either a car allowance similar to that of the City Council or the use of a city-owned vehicle in the performance of their official duties within or without the city. If the latter is selected, such city-owned vehicles shall be at their disposal at all times, and they shall likewise be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the operation thereof.
