A. Upon arrest, or upon appearance without arrest in response to citation or summons, or at any time before trial, before or after arraignment, the defendant may be eligible to be released upon giving bail for his appearance in an amount and upon conditions fixed by this article or by a Municipal Judge, who shall prescribe appropriate rules of court for the receipt of bail and release of the defendant. In case of arrests made at night or under other conditions of emergency or when a Municipal Judge is not available, the rules shall authorize the Chief of Police, or his designated representative, to accept a temporary cash bond of not less than ten dollars ($10.00) nor more than the maximum monetary penalty provided by ordinance for the offense charged. A Municipal Judge or Chief of Police is authorized, subject to conditions as may be prescribed by the judge, to release a resident of the City on personal recognizance.
B. The City's bail bond schedule setting forth specific offenses and bail bond amounts and procedures therefor, as amended from time to time, is hereby adopted and incorporated in this article by reference.
