§ 1.12.060. Bail deposit and forfeiture—Conditions

The officer arresting a person pursuant to Section 1.12.030 shall, as soon as practicable, file a duplicate notice to appear with the magistrate specified in the notice. The defendant may, prior to the date upon which he promised to appear in court, deposit with the magistrate the amount of bail set by the magistrate. Thereafter, at the time when the case is called for arraignment before the magistrate, if the defendent [defendant] does not appear, either in person or by counsel, the magistrate may declare the bail forfeited and may at his discretion order that no further proceedings shall be had in the case. Upon the making of the order that no further proceedings be had, all sums deposited as bail shall forthwith be paid into the county treasury.
