Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) The bond shall be
conditioned that the appellant will duly prosecute such appeal and satisfy any judgment that may
be rendered upon trial of the case in the appropriate appellate court to which appeal is taken
pursuant to section 13-10-116 and that the appellant will surrender himself in satisfaction of such
judgment if that is required.
(2) If the bond is forfeited, the appellate court, upon motion of the municipality, shall
enter judgment against the appellant and sureties on the bond for the amount of such bond. The
appellate court, with the consent of the municipality, shall enter judgment against the appellant
and sureties on the bond for the amount of such bond. The appellate court, with the consent of
the municipality, may set aside or modify the judgment.
(3) Any municipality may provide by ordinance such other bond terms and conditions as
are not inconsistent with the provisions of this article. The filing of such bond or any notice
thereof of record shall not constitute any lien against any property of the sureties.
(4) When the condition of the bond has been satisfied or the forfeiture thereof set aside
or remitted, the municipal court shall exonerate the obligors and release the bond. At any time
before final judgment in the appellate court, a surety may be exonerated by a deposit of cash in
the amount of the bond or by timely surrender of the appellant into custody.
