The officer shall, as soon as practicable, file a duplicate notice with the magistrate or city attorney, as specified in such notice. The defendant may, prior to the date upon which he or she promised to appear in court, deposit with the magistrate the amount of bail set by such magistrate. Therefore, at the time when the case is called for arraignment before the magistrate, if the defendant does not appear, either in person or by counsel, the magistrate may declare the bail forfeited and may at his or her discretion order that no further proceedings be had, all sums deposited as bail shall forthwith be paid into the city treasury. (Ord. 957 § 2, 1983: prior code § 1251)
