Yolo County Municipal Code Art. 2 Rewards

The Board does hereby irrevocably and continuously offer to pay, and shall pay, a cash reward to any person, save those excepted by the provisions of this chapter, who furnishes information to any law enforcement authority within the County which leads to the arrest and conviction of any person of any violation of the Penal Code of the State, which violation consists in whole or in part of the destruction, mutilation, or material damage of any real or personal property owned or leased by the County, provided an application for the reward is made within ninety (90) days after the date of such conviction. (§ 1, Ord. 683, eff. August 1, 1973)

In the event more than one person furnishes such information about the same incident or offense, each person who does so shall share in the sum of such reward and shall not be entitled to a separate reward in the sum set forth in this chapter. (§ 1, Ord. 683, eff. August 1, 1973)

The reward in the sum set forth in this chapter shall be paid for the information so furnished as to each person convicted of the offenses described in this chapter. (§ 1, Ord. 683, eff. August 1, 1973)

This offer of reward is not an offer to any of the following designated persons:

(a) Persons who are designated as peace officers in the Penal Code of the State; or

(b) Persons in the employ of the County whose official duties involve the identification or detection of persons who have so materially damaged, mutilated, or destroyed County-owned or leased property. (§ 1, Ord. 683, eff. August 1, 1973)

An applicant for a reward pursuant to the provisions of this chapter shall submit his request for such reward to the Sheriff, who shall thereupon, or upon the conviction of the person charged with the offense, forward such claim to the Board with his statement or recommendation as to payment. (§ 1, Ord. 683, eff. August 1, 1973)

Whenever it appears that a reward is claimed or might be claimed for such information furnished, the Sheriff is hereby directed to so inform the office of the District Attorney. The purpose of this directive is to inform the court before which a charge is pending and to encourage it to order the person convicted to reimburse the County in the amount of the reward paid, or to be paid, as a condition of probation, if probation is granted. (§ 1, Ord. 683, eff. August 1, 1973)

Whenever such a charge is pending before any court, the County officer, department head, or employee in charge of or in possession of such damaged, destroyed, or mutilated County property is hereby ordered to furnish the office of the District Attorney with a complete statement of the financial damages or losses to the County caused by the offense. The purpose of this directive is to inform the court before which a charge is pending and to encourage it to order the person convicted to reimburse the County in the amount of the damages sustained as a condition of probation, if probation is granted. (§ 1, Ord. 683, eff. August 1, 1973)

Upon the conviction of each offender, the amount of the reward shall be One Hundred and no/100ths ($100.00) Dollars. (§ 1, Ord. 683, eff. August 1, 1973)
