The chief of corrections or the chief's designated representative is authorized to
receive appearance bonds of defendants and witnesses, in the form of recognizance,
signature, property, or cash or written bonds of professional bondspersons, or otherwise,
pursuant to the provisions of sections 62-1(c) and 62-31 of this chapter to secure the attendance of defendants and witnesses in municipal
court. If a particular defendant is charged with two or more offenses and bond is
deemed necessary, a separate bond may be set for each offense. The bond shall remain
in full force and effect until the disposition of the case and until the defendant
is surrendered, or until otherwise directed by the municipal court or other court
of law. The mayor may require professional bondspersons to deposit with the chief
financial officer a sufficient fund to protect the interests of the city. The chief
of corrections or the chief's designated representatives and the chief judge and associate
judges of the municipal court shall promptly forward all bonds to the clerk of the
court.
