Fiscal Note
Most of the bail deposit changes will have little or minimal impact on General Fund/Ordinance Violations revenues and are primarily intended to achieve uniformity among the various bail deposits. However, the Ordinance proposes increased bail deposits for three categories that may yield significant impact on General Fund revenues: increases in "Damage to Property" bail deposits may result in additional General Fund revenues of $10,000 to $15,000 annually; increases in the "Animal Causing Injury" deposits may yield an additional $1,000 to $1,500 annually; and, most noteworthy, increases in "Retail Theft" deposits may yield increased revenues of $65,000 to $85,000 annually.
