ADOPT RESOLUTION 76-134

there seems to be some concern about the hiring of a program coordinator.
Judge Houghton shared with the Board some of the frustrations regarding
sentencing of the criminals and of the setting of fires.• This program would not
apply to any of the felonies. This would apply only to those inF~ractions of
the law. The Courts can no longer sentence a person to jail for an infraction.
These people can be sen#enced for failure to pay a fine. Problems of deciding
who can pay and who cannot pay set out. It is Judge Houghton's feeling that
sentencing should be swift and certain.
The Courts are requesting a formal work program so they can sentence the
person to work so many days to pay their fines. Project explained by Judge Houghton.
!t is her feeling that this would be a good program.
Position of coordinator discussed. It was requested that the
position of coordinator be placed directly in the court system. This person
could then go to each of the five courts and assign out jobs to the people
who will pay their fines through the program. Placing the position of
coordinator in Probation Department discussed. Supervisor Mc Killop said he
