A maximum reward of five thousand dollars shall be budgeted yearly into each fiscal
year budget of the Delano police department and placed into a trust fund. Any funds
remaining in the reward fund not expended at the end of the fiscal year budget shall
be carried over into the next fiscal year, and an additional allocation of five thousand
dollars shall be added to the reward fund. This procedure shall continue until the
reward fund balance reaches, but does not exceed twenty thousand dollars. Once the
reward fund has reached twenty thousand dollars no additional funds shall be placed
into the fund until such time as the fund balance falls below that amount, but not
until the next fiscal year budget allocations are made.
Private reward funds raised by the community, businesses, or other groups shall not
be co-mingled with public funds and will not be accepted or administered by the city.
However, the chief of police, or his designee, may, after the conviction of the responsible
person(s) for the offenses related to the specific investigation for which the reward
was offered, and with the written consent of the person who provided such information
that would qualify for the reward payment, provide such person's name to the private
reward fund group for payment of any reward funds collected by the group upon the
request for the person's name by the group offering such reward.
