Any claim for monetary rewards shall be reviewed by a claim review committee consisting of the city manager, or designee, the city attorney, or designee, and the chief of police, or designee. Such committee shall review and verify the propriety of any claim and, thereafter, shall forward to the city council a recommendation with regard to the amount and distribution of any monetary reward. If necessary or otherwise appropriate, the claim review committee may elect to consult affected city departments, outside agencies, additional law enforcement authorities, and/or the office of the district attorney to determine the validity, merit and allocation of any claim for monetary reward. The city council, in its sole and unfettered discretion, shall determine whether to pay a monetary reward, the amount of such reward to be paid, and the individual(s) to whom such reward shall be paid, and the decision of the city council regarding such shall be final and binding.
