NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SAN JACINTO:
SECTION 1. The City Council hereby authorizes a reward of One Thousand
Dollars ($1,000.00) for information leading to the identity, apprehension and conviction
of any person whose willful misconduct results in the perpetration of, or aid in, causing
graffiti, as defined by the San Jacinto Municipal Code, within the City of San Jacinto.
The reward shall be payable upon conviction of the perpetrator, or any other judicial
disposition thereof that recognizes the guilt of the perpetrator. This reward offer shall
not apply to any co-conspirators or co-perpetrators in the offense, nor shall the reward
offer apply to any City employee or agent. If more than one person provides information
regarding a single episode, regardless of whether conducted by one or more
perpetrators, the reward hereby offered shall be divided between those providing such
information in a proportion that the City Manager deems just based on the contribution
of each person providing the information to the arrest and conviction of the
perpetrator(s). For the purposes of this section, diversion of the violator to a community
service program, or a plea bargain to a lesser offense, shall constitute a conviction.
