Sec. B27-8. Reward.

(a) Pursuant to California Government Code § 53069.5, the County may offer a reward in an amount to be established by resolution of the Board of Supervisors for information leading to the identification, apprehension and conviction of any person who willfully damages or destroys any County-owned property, or without the permission of the owner or occupant, any other property located within the unincorporated area of the County by use of graffiti. The resolution may authorize a contribution to a joint reward fund offered on behalf of multiple governmental entities, in the event one is established.

(b) In the event of damage to public property, the convicted offender or the parent or legal guardian of any unemancipated minor so convicted must reimburse the County for any reward paid pursuant to this section. For the purposes of this section, diversion of the perpetrator to a community service program, or a plea bargain to a lesser offense, shall constitute a conviction.

(c) In the event of multiple contributors of information concerning the same act, the reward amount shall be divided by the County in the manner it deems appropriate and in furtherance of the purposes of this division. Claims for rewards under the section shall be filed with the County in the manner specified by the Board of Supervisors, and no claim shall be allowed unless the County verifies the accuracy of the claim and determines that the requirements of this section have been satisfied.

(Ord. No. NS-300.655, 8-28-01)
