the issue of the offender's ability to pay under subsection 2,

that shall must be paid by the offender for his incarceration in

file a motion to enforce payment of the reimbursement fee or,
with the written consent of the probation officer, a motion to

offender does not appear for the hearing after proper
notification has been sent, the court may issue a bench warrant.

offender's part to make a good-faith
