Editor's note

Ord. No. 4728, 9/13/89, was enacted under the city's home rule powers; it struck the former wording of the section in its entirety. The 1989 act established authority of the judge over the probation officer and added authority for monthly fees. Such provisions are recorded at Ga. L. 1990, p. 5492, Sec. 2.
