a. 
Unless agreed to as a condition of employment, employees will not be required to use their personal vehicles to conduct City business. However, employees may voluntarily use their own personal vehicles for City business. In such instances, employees should keep track of mileage and may apply for mileage reimbursement when mileage exceeds 70 miles in any pay period. Mileage reimbursement for travel inside the St. Louis Metropolitan Statistical Area is in the Finance Director's sole discretion and, if made, will be in an amount set by the Finance Director. De minimus mileage incurred on a personal vehicle will not be reimbursed. Use of a personal vehicle for trips out of the St. Louis Metropolitan Statistical Area will be governed by the City's Travel Policy.
b. 
It is the employee's responsibility to pay for gas, insurance and maintenance of employee's personal vehicle. It is further the employee's responsibility to disclose to employee's insurer the uses to which employee chooses to put employee's vehicle which may affect coverage. Except as may be provided specifically within any insurance policy maintained by the City, should an accident occur while on City business, the employee's own vehicle insurance policy shall provide applicable coverage and the City will not be responsible for any insurance deductible or damages.
