CONSIDERATION OF MOTION (KORETZ - HUIZAR) relative to establishing a reward offer in the amount of $10,000 for information leading to the identification, apprehension and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the killing of a dog in the 1600 block of East First Street on May 14, 2016 pursuant to the Los Angeles Administrative Code (LAAC).

 

Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR:

 

  1. PROVIDE an offer of reward in the amount of $10,000 for information leading to the identification, apprehension and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the killing of a dog on May 14, 2016.

  2. FIND that the subject reward complies with the provisions of  Division 19, Chapter 12, Article 1 of the LAAC and:

    1. That the death of this dog was caused by willful misconduct of one or more persons.

    2. That this offer of reward is consistent with and taken for the immediate protection of the public peace, health and safety of local residents, as well as visitors to the City, and is consistent with the need to arrest and convict the person(s) who, because of not being apprehended, could by their actions further terrorize and present a continuing and immediate menace to the rights of persons in the City.

    3. That what happened to this dog is an especially disturbing crime and therefore, as a matter of public policy, the City hereby offers a reward as an added inducement for persons to come forward with information leading to the identification, apprehension and conviction of the person or persons responsible.

    4. That the sum of $10,000 shall be the aggregate maximum sum of any payment or payments of a City reward in this instance.

    5. That the offer of reward shall be in effect for six months from the date of the advertisement of the reward by the City Clerk.

  3. DIRECT the City Clerk to publish notices and/or advertisements to effectuate this reward.
