He shall further keep and maintain an accurate record of all such assignments of police officers to such extra or off-duty police services and shall certify the same to the Mayor, Police Committee and the Secretary-Manager at least once monthly.

Wherever possible, within 10 days from such submission by the Chief of Police to the Mayor, Police Committee and the Secretary-Manager as aforesaid, upon approval of the Mayor and Police Committee, such police officers shall be compensated for their services, at the rate provided for herein less the service charge and other appropriate deductions as shall from time to time be established by the Police Committee in accordance with applicable laws, ordinances and rules and regulations governing police compensation.
