All persons ordered incarcerated in the Auburn city jail by appropriate court order may be allowed the option of participating in an electronic house arrest program as an alternative to incarceration and only if the defendant is determined to be eligible for participation according to the city procedures. The defendant may be charged a fee by the city in an amount to be established by the mayor that is less than or equal to the following amount: the billable costs to the city for the electronic house arrest equipment, multiplied by two and one-half, to cover the city’s costs in administering and monitoring the program. The participant shall pay to the city for up to 30 days of the electronic house arrest fee in advance and a receipt of that payment shall be issued to the participant. Such costs of the electronic house arrest program shall be paid by the participant to the city in accordance with the policies and requirements of the city finance department. (Ord. 4341 § 3, 1989.)
