  • The mayor, whenever
      he or she shall deem it necessary, may issue a proclamation  offering  a
      reward   for  information  which  shall  lead  to  the  apprehension  or
      apprehension and conviction of any person who may have committed a crime
      within the city. In such proclamation, the mayor may offer a reward  not
      exceeding  five  hundred dollars for the apprehension of any such person
      and  not  exceeding  ten  thousand  dollars  for  the  apprehension  and
      conviction  of  any  such  person, provided, however, that the mayor may
      offer a reward not  exceeding  one  hundred  thousand  dollars  for  the
      apprehension  and  conviction  of  any person found guilty in connection
      with an act of terrorism involving loss of life or substantial injury to
      persons or property. Any such reward shall  be  paid  out  of  the  city
      treasury  upon  a certificate of the mayor that the service required has
      been  performed.  For  purposes  of  this  section,  "terrorism"   means
      premeditated,   politically   motivated   violence  perpetrated  against
      noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents.
