Monterey Park Municipal Code Ch. 3.72 Criminal Justice Administration Fee

Any person who is arrested by an officer or agent of the city of Monterey Park or who is booked or processed at the detention facility of the city of Monterey Park, and who is subsequently convicted of any offense related to the arrest, shall pay to the city a criminal justice administration fee for reimbursement of administrative expenses incurred by the city of Monterey Park in connection with the arrest and/or booking processing. The amount of the fee shall be in accordance with a fee schedule adopted from time to time by resolution of the city council.

(Ord. 2019 § 1, 2004)

When the judgment of conviction includes an order for payment of the criminal justice administration fee owed to the city, it may be collected by any means provided by law for the enforcement of judgments. If the convicted person is subject to probation, the court must, as a condition of probation, order the convicted person to reimburse the city for the criminal justice administration fee. If the convicted person fails to pay the city the criminal justice administration fee, the city may prosecute a civil action to collect the debt.

(Ord. 2019 § 2, 2004)

All fees collected pursuant to this chapter shall be deposited into the general fund and may be used for any lawful purpose.
