All persons convicted of offenses other than minor misdemeanors who are confined in a prison, jail, station house or other facility shall reimburse the City upon motion of the government for its expenses incurred by reason of the persons' confinement including, but not limited to, the expenses relating to the provision of food, clothing, shelter and medical attention. The amount of such reimbursement shall be determined by the court as follows:
If a court of this jurisdiction sentences a person to a term of imprisonment for an offense other then a minor misdemeanor, the judge thereof shall, upon motion of the government, hold a hearing to determine whether the person has the ability to pay the reimbursement. The person whose ability to pay is being determined shall have an opportunity to be heard and may be represented by counsel at the hearing, at his or her option. A record shall be made of the hearing. Reimburseable expenses shall include but are not limited to, the expenses relating to the provision of food, clothing and shelter to the person while he is imprisoned and during any time that the person is incarcerated before sentencing that is credited against his term of imprisonment. The reimbursement shall be made to the Municipality for expenses incurred during any time that the person serves.
