A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH REPEALING
RESOLUTION NO. 200048 WHICH ESTABLISHED A REWARD FOR INFORMATION LEADING TO
THE ARREST AND CONVICTION OF THE PERSON OR PERSONS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
MURDER OF BRIDGETTE BALLAS.
WHEREAS, on the 151" day of May, 2000, the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
passed Resolution No. 2000-48 offering a reward in the amount of$25,000 for information leading to
the arrest and conviction of person(s) responsible for the November 27, 1999 murder of Bridgette
Ballas; and
On May 15, 2000, the Police Department found it necessary to request the City Council to
offer the reward because the facts and circumstances at that time were such that the reward offer
would have enhanced the probability of officers being able to solicit information necessary to lead to
an arrest and conviction; and
Subsequent to May 15,2000 the officers investigating the murder apprehended an individual
whom they believe was responsible for the crime and at the present time the continued offer of a
reward will not assist in any further investigation currently being conducted by the Police Department,
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach does hereby
resolve as follows:
1. Resolution 200048 and the posting of a $25,000 reward for information in connection
with the murder investigation of Bridgette Ballas are hereby repealed.
2. Any monies previously placed in a segregated account naming persons providing
information in regard to the murder of Bridgette Ballas as beneficiary shall now be reinstated in the
General Fund.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach at a regular
meeting thereof held on the 19th day of .Tune 01 2000.
