Also, the proposed ordinance and the current code is provided in the attachment.
This ordinance is designed to reflect current trends in probation practices and with the proposed fees will off-set the cost of carrying out services to probationers. The Court will impose these fees as a condition of probation unless under existing City Code procedures the Court determines the inability of the probationer to pay and imposes a lesser fee.
