If the city does not operate a school crossing guard program, or if the money received from court costs exceeds the amount necessary to fund the school crossing guard program, the city may either deposit the money in an interest bearing account or expend it for programs designed to enhance child safety, health, or nutrition, including child abuse prevention and intervention, drug and alcohol abuse prevention. Or any other purpose permitted by law.
