A. If, after conviction, judgment of imprisonment is entered, a copy thereof, certified by the clerk, shall be delivered to the chief of police or other appropriate sheriff or police officer. Such copy shall be sufficient warrant for execution of the judgment.
B. If a defendant, who is financially able, refuses or neglects to pay a fine or costs or both, payment may be enforced by imprisonment until the same is satisfied at the rate of five dollars ($5.00) per day. If the defendant is without means to pay the fine or costs, the judge may direct the total amount to be entered on the court minutes and thereafter certified to the district court to be entered on the judgment docket as herein authorized.
C. All prisoners confined to jail on conviction or on plea of guilty may be compelled, if their health permits, to work on the public streets, avenues, alleys, parks, buildings or other public premises or property. For each day of such work, the prisoner shall be credited five dollars ($5.00) toward any fine or costs or witness or juror fees or mileage until same are satisfied.
D. The chief of police, subject to the direction of the mayor, shall direct where the work shall be performed. The head of the department in charge of the place where the work is to be performed, himself or by some person designated by him, shall oversee the work. If a guard is necessary, the chief of police shall make provision therefor. (Ord. 526 §5, 1982)
