(a) Determination by court. When, based on a finding of civil liability or criminal conviction for violations of curfew, daytime loitering (truancy), or willful misconduct in violation of Welfare and Institutions Code § 602, a minor under 18 years of age is detained for a period of time in excess of one hour, and said detention required the supervision of the juvenile offender by law enforcement employee, the parent or legal guardian having custody or control of said minor shall be jointly and severally liable for the cost of providing such personnel over and above the services normally provided by said department.

(b) Determination by Director of Safety. As determined by the Director of Safety or the Director's designee, the parent or legal guardian of a minor committing any public offense amounting to an act of willful misconduct in violation of Welfare and Institutions Code § 602, where police personnel provide services relating to the detention, processing, or supervision of minors that are over and above the normal services usually provided by the Law Enforcement Department, may be assessed and billed for the cost of providing such personnel for such services beyond those normally provided by said department.

(c) Appeal. Any person receiving a bill for law enforcement services pursuant to this section may, within 15 days after the billing date, file a written request appealing the imposition of said charges. Any billing sent pursuant to this section shall inform the billed party of the right to appeal said billing. Any appeal regarding such billing shall be heard by the City Manager, or the City Manager's designee, as the hearing officer. Within ten days after the hearing, the hearing officer shall give written notice of the decision to the appellant. Upon the filing of a request for an appeal, payment of the bill for the police services shall be suspended until notice of the decision of the hearing officer.
