Section 268.4085 - Graffiti reward and abatement fund: Creation required; use of money; administrative assessment; offer and payment of reward
1. The governing body of each city shall create a graffiti reward and abatement fund. The money in the fund must be used to purchase supplies or pay for other costs incurred by the city which are directly related to graffiti abatement or to pay a reward to a person who, in response to the offer of a reward, provides information which results in the identification, apprehension or conviction of a person who is alleged to have violated or who violates a city ordinance that prohibits graffiti or other defacement of property.
2. When a defendant pleads or is found guilty or guilty but mentally ill of violating a city ordinance that prohibits graffiti or other defacement of property, the court shall include an administrative assessment of $250 for each violation in addition to any other fine or penalty. The money collected must be paid by the clerk of the court to the city treasurer on or before the fifth day of each month for credit to the graffiti reward and abatement fund.
3. If sufficient money is available in the graffiti reward and abatement fund, a law enforcement agency for the city may offer a reward, not to exceed $1,000, for information leading to the identification, apprehension or conviction of a person who is alleged to have violated or who violates a city ordinance that prohibits graffiti or other defacement of property.
4. The money to purchase supplies or pay for other costs incurred by the city which are directly related to graffiti abatement or to pay a reward must be paid out of the graffiti reward and abatement fund upon approval of the city manager, the authorized designee of the city manager or, if the city does not have a city manager, the governing body of the city.
