The City Council may, whenever in its opinion the public good requires it, pass a resolution that offers and pays a specific reward out of the Crime Reward Fund to any person or persons for information leading to:

(1) The arrest of a specified person or persons convicted of or charged with any criminal offense; or

(2) The arrest and conviction of a person or persons committing a specific criminal offense.

The City Council shall have the ultimate authority to determine which crimes are allocated a specific reward from the general Crime Reward Fund. The Council may consider requests for specific rewards from citizens, property owners, staff members or the Chief of Police. The City Council may establish the terms and conditions of eligibility for the reward established. The City Council shall at all times retain the final and exclusive right to determine who may be eligible for any reward, whether a reward should be split amongst more than one person, and whether the potential claimants are otherwise qualified to receive a reward. Elected City officials and/or City staff members and their families are not eligible to receive any rewards under this chapter. (Ord. 5-05 § 1)
