Councilman Keith Curry asked the city manager and police chief to organize the reward. It would be given for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the vandal or vandals.
Curry was a leader in the effort to commission the bronze artwork and worked in the Reagan administration, the Daily Pilot reported.
The life-size statue at Bonita Canyon Sports Park was yanked partially off its base early Sunday by a vandal or vandals using a rope attached to a tan pickup truck, according to police. Officials do not know whether the intent was to steal the statue or just deface it.
"No matter your political beliefs, we as a community stand together in condemning this senseless vandalism," Curry said.
Councilwoman Nancy Gardner said she didn't support using public funds for the reward.
