Information of whatever form or nature filed with, submitted to, or otherwise received by the City Council, an officer or employee, board, bureau, office, or department, with respect to apprehension, identification, or where applicable the arrest and conviction of a person or persons, and whether or not the information is accompanied by a request, demand, or claim of any reward offered, shall be deemed to be filed, submitted, and received for informational purposes only and no claim of action or property right shall arise therefrom. The City Council may consider any such information as a factor in whatever deliberations it may undertake with respect to a particular offer of reward possibly affected thereby. Neither the filing or submitting of information, nor the receipt or consideration thereof by the City, shall establish any legal claim to, or right of recovery of, any reward offered by the City.
Information received by other than the Los Angeles Police Department shall be immediately transmitted by the recipient to the Los Angeles Police Department, and to the City Clerk for record purposes and for attaching to the appropriate Council File. The City Clerk shall transmit to the Los Angeles Police Department for its use and investigation, any information which that office receives in order that the department may coordinate its activity with those law enforcement and governmental agencies legally charged with or responsible for investigation into and/or prosecution of an event which has become the basis of an offer of reward.
