If it is established that (a) there was reasonable cause for a law enforcement officer to have issued a notice and warning as set forth below to any person or persons for actions in violation of Penal Code Section 415 and/or Section 407, (b) that such person or persons received such a notice and warning, (c) that within six months of the time set forth in the notice and warning, such person or persons were found in violation of such sections and arrested or given a citation therefor for further such acts at or near the location set forth in the notice and warning, and (d) that the person or persons were found guilty of one or more of the violations of Penal Code Section 415 and/or Section 407 for which they were arrested or given a citation, or found guilty or one or more violations of Penal Code Section 272 wherein an act or omission caused, encouraged, persuaded or induced a minor to commit an offense as defined in Penal Code Section 415 and/or Section 407; then

A.    The court imposing sentence on such person may, as a condition of probation, order such person to pay the reasonable costs necessarily incurred by the City for law enforcement officers responding to the incident which led to the conviction. In doing so the court shall follow the procedures set forth in Penal Code Section 1203.1(I), treating such costs as if they are the costs of an emergency response; or

B.    The reasonable costs necessarily incurred by the city for law enforcement officers in responding to the incident which led to a conviction shall be a charge against the person or persons convicted. The charge constitutes a debt of such person or persons and is collectible by the City in the same manner as in the case of an obligation under a contract. Prior to initiating an action to collect any such debt the City shall provide such person or persons a bill itemizing the charges and afford them at least 60 days to pay the bill.
