(A) Any person who has been convicted of a misdemeanor criminal offense in the City Court and sentenced to a term of incarceration in the county jail or any other detention facility as authorized by law, may as a part of any fine imposed by the City Court in connection with the sentencing, be required to reimburse the city for all or any part of the actual expenses the city has or will incur to the county or other authorized detention authority by reason of the incarceration. The maximum amount ordered for reimbursement under this section shall not exceed the number of days the misdemeanant is actually incarcerated in the county jail or detention facility, multiplied by the prevailing per diem rate charged to the city at the time that the misdemeanant is actually incarcerated.
(B) No person who has been found by the City Court to be indigent may be subject to the provisions of this section.
(C) In addition to any other remedies which may be allowed by law, the City Attorney is authorized to institute civil legal proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction to recover any fee owing under this section.
