(a) There is a Crime Victim Compensation Fund to compensate victims of crime and provide other financial assistance and services to crime victims.
(b) The Fund receives appropriated funds from the County and may receive funds contributed by a private person, other government agency, or any other source. The County should appropriate additional funds to match every $1 of private contributions with $2 of County funds. Unused amounts in the Fund at the end of a fiscal year remain available in the Fund for the next fiscal year unless otherwise appropriated.
(c) The program administrator must use funds from the Fund to pay compensation and other financial assistance to victims under this Article, and may use up to 10 percent of the Fund to publicize the Fund and solicit private contributions. (1998 L.M.C., ch. 25, § 1.)
