Union Point council approves small increase to municipal probation fees
Summary
The council approved an amendment to the probation services contract to raise regular supervision fees from $40 to $45 per month and intensive supervision from $50 to $55 per month. The change was presented by Amanda Armstrong of Probation Services and approved by unanimous motion.
Union Point's City Council on Oct. 14 approved an amendment to its probation-services contract with Judicial Alternatives that raises client fees for municipal probation.
Amanda Armstrong of Probation Services presented the proposed change, which increases regular probation supervision from $40 to $45 per month and intensive supervision from $50 to $55 per month. Council Member Jim Scott moved to approve the amendment; the motion was seconded and recorded as passing unanimously.
During discussion a council member asked whether the city has used intensive probation in recent cases; presenters said its use in Union Point has been limited. The council approved the fee increase despite that limited local use.
The action amends the existing agreement between Union Point Municipal Court and Judicial Alternatives; the transcript does not specify an effective date for the new fee schedule or whether the change requires additional municipal administrative steps.
