Subchapter 1: [No Title]
The official flag of the mayor shall be the same in design as the official flag of the city. Upon the middle or white bar, however, and above the design of the seal in a semi-circle, there shall be five blue five-pointed stars, typifying the five boroughs of the city. The dimensions of such flag shall be thirty-three inches by forty-four inches.
All authority to display flags or other decorations on, in or about the public buildings within the city hall park, is vested in the mayor, unless otherwise ordered by the council.
a. A Prisoner of War / Missing in Action POW / (MIA) flag shall be flown over City Hall every day the American flag is flown until such time as all persons listed as missing in action, from any branch of the United States Armed Forces, and all persons from any branch of our armed forces who are prisoners of war, are accounted for by the United States Government.
The mayor, whenever he or she shall deem it necessary, may issue a proclamation offering a reward for information which shall lead to the apprehension or apprehension and conviction of any person who may have committed a crime within the city. In such proclamation, the mayor may offer a reward not exceeding five hundred dollars for the apprehension of any such person and not exceeding ten thousand dollars for the apprehension and conviction of any such person, provided, however, that the mayor may offer a reward not exceeding one hundred thousand dollars for the apprehension and conviction of any person found guilty in connection with an act of terrorism involving loss of life or substantial injury to persons or property. Any such reward shall be paid out of the city treasury upon a certificate of the mayor that the service required has been performed. For purposes of this section, "terrorism" means premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents.
