If said event occurred subsequent to the fifth day of November, immediately preceding the introduction of the resolution a notice of claim shall be filed as provided for in this Code section within ten days after the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim. No such resolution shall be introduced after the tenth day of any regular session. (b) The board shall provide forms to be used in filing a notice of claim and shall make them available for such purpose. When the notice is filed, the board shall inform the person filing the notice, in writing, of the information it will require in order to take action on the claim. Such information may include accident reports, affidavits, statements, bills, receipts, letters, documents, and any other supporting material or data deemed necessary by the board. All such information must be filed with the board prior to the introduction of the resolution.
