10.62.040 Restitution—Community service.
A. In addition to any punishment specified in this chapter, the court may order any violator to make restitution to the victim for damages or loss caused by the violator’s offense in the amount or manner determined by the court. For purposes of this section, if the city uses its funds and/or other resources to remove graffiti from city-owned property or, in agreement with the owner, from non-city owned property, the city shall be considered a victim for purposes of restitution.
B. In lieu of, or as part of, the penalties specified in this chapter, a violator may be required to perform community service as described by the court based on the following minimum requirements:
1. If the court wishes to impose community service in lieu of other penalties provided herein, the violator shall be ordered to perform at least thirty hours of community service; and
2. The entire period of community service shall be performed under the supervision of a community service provider approved by the chief of police or his designee; and
3. Reasonable effort shall be made to assign the violator to a type of community service that is reasonably expected to have the most rehabilitative effect on the violator, such as community service that involves graffiti removal. (Ord. 3074-08 § 5, 2008.)
