9.12.180 Community service.
(1) Upon conviction of any person for violation of CMC 9.12.030, 9.12.040, 9.12.050, or any state law pertaining to vandalism of property with a graffiti implement, the city may petition the sentencing court to impose community service time, pursuant to Penal Code Section 640.6. The sentencing court may require the performance of community service within the city in addition to any monetary penalties imposed. If the sentencing court approves community service, the city may request any adult or emancipated minor convicted of vandalism, as defined by Penal Code Section 594(a)(1), to:
(a) Complete a minimum of 24 hours, but no more than 48 hours, of community service cleaning up, removing, and repairing property damaged by graffiti for the first conviction; and
(b) Complete 48 hours, but no more than 96 hours, of community service cleaning up, removing, and repairing property damaged by graffiti for each subsequent conviction.
(2) Any person who is under the age of 18 when he or she violates any provision of this chapter or any state law pertaining to vandalism of property with a graffiti implement, and is found to be a person described in Welfare and Institutions Code Section 602 by reason of the commission of vandalism, may be required to perform community service time pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 729.1. For any minor adjudicated guilty of vandalism, the city may petition the juvenile court and the court may, in addition to any other penalties imposed by the city, require the unemancipated minor to provide the necessary labor to clean up, repair, or replace defaced, damaged, or destroyed property, or otherwise make restitution to the property owner.
(3) If a minor is personally unable to pay any fine levied for violating any provision of this chapter or is otherwise unable to make restitution for damages, the minor’s parent or legal guardian shall be liable for payment of the fine or restitution. If the parent or legal guardian cannot make restitution, the sentencing court may waive payment of the fine or community service time by the parent or legal guardian upon finding of good cause. If the sentencing court waives payment of the fine by the parent or legal guardian, the city may petition the sentencing court, and the court, at the court’s option, may order the parent or legal guardian to provide the necessary labor, equal to the number of hours assigned to the minor adjudicated guilty of violating any provision of this chapter, to clean up, repair, or replace property damaged by the unemancipated minor.
