(a) The court may order the defendant to remove graffiti, clean up, repair, or replace the damaged property, or order the defendant and his/her parents or guardians if the defendant is a minor, as a condition of probation, to keep the damaged or defaced property or another specified property in the County free of graffiti for up to one year. Participation of a parent or guardian may be required, at the discretion of the court or Probation Department.

(b) The court may order the defendant to pay all or part of the costs incurred by the Sheriff in identifying and apprehending the defendant, provided that the court determines that the defendant has the ability to pay, and that such costs do not exceed the amount allowed by state law.
