EDITOR & PUBLISHER
During the fiscal year
1981-82, the 259th Judicial
District Probation De-
partment collected, for
Jones and Shackelford
counties, the following:
$1 16,002.39 in fines,
$17,073.14 in court costs,
and $15,355.29 in resti
tution, totaling
$149,012.53, according to
David A. Damiano.
Probationers pay taxes
too. In addition to paying
court ordered fees in-
curred while going
through the judicial pro-
cess, probationers also
City Council
(Cont. from pg. 1)
they travel to £et to town.
The city agreed that they
would stress to the patrol
man the need to work that
area.
The council was in
formed that Lone Star
Gas Company has ap
pealed Albany's rate in
crease denial to the Texas
Railroad Commission and
that if the gas company
wins the appeal, that a
surcharge will be added
to local customers' bills to
pay for the expenses of
t he appeal.
The company has esti
mated that legal fees and
expenses will cost $3,000,
which would be added as a
special charge of $1.53 to
each customers' bill until
the money is recovered.
The council is expec-
ting the RRC to grant the
gas company less than
I hey have asked for, and
that the appeal will still
save local customers
money
The council was given
the annual audit and the
1983 budget to review
before I he next meeting.
Several members of the
council were concerned
that the budget figures
were not accurate. Todd
told the council the audit
was an est imate only.
Relay Koch asked how
the budget was determin
ed, to which Todd replied
that he took the same
figures from the previous
year. Koch stated that the
budget should reflect long
range planning. She
passed out a-guideline for
budgets that she got from
another source.
Councilman Ronnie
Nail told the council that
there was a discrepancy
on the surveys of his pro
pcrty where his house is
located, adjacent to the
cily owned ^olf course.
Nail stated that his
original survey showed
that he owne'd l he proper
ty the house sits on, but
that a more recent survey
indicated thai three feet
of his house sits on golf
course property.
The council told Nail lo
chock with Williams on
determining the actual
ownership and the pro
cedures the city must use
to sell Nail property if I he
newer survey is correct.
If the recent survey is
correct, Nail stated that
he would like to purchase
15 feet of the city pro
pcrty for "protection and
to be able to add on to my
house."
The council entered in
to a lengthy discussion on
the state of the city
owned swimming pool at
Webb Park.
T hey decided that
three different sets of
bids were needed con
cerning the pool one bid
to repair, a second bid to
repair and build a new
concession stand and
dressing room, and a third
bid to construct a new
pool and concession stand.
If a new pool is built,
the council agreed that a
long term nlan for the en
tire park should be
developed. The Parks and
Heritage Board has been
working on such a plan
and other options concer
ning the pool.
Mayor Wayne Hogan
said that he felt "with the
money situation like it is,
I think we should repair
the old pool and not build
a new one."
Other members wanted
to review the bids to
determine if repairing the
old pool would be much
cheaper than building.
Koch pointed out that
something would have to
be done soon if the pool is
to be used next summer
at all.
The city's financial
statement listed an in
come for the month of Oc-
tober of $51,035.57, with
expenses of $170,866.72.
Portions of the expendi
tures were moneys for
the sewer and water pro
jects which were funded
in part by grants.
Water bills in October
amounted to $21,035.56,
while sewer connections
brought in $5,030.05.
pay federal income tax,
state sales tax, and social
security. Probationers
are also able to continue
to work, providing sup
port for their families and
alleviating further strains
placed on our welfare
system and, in turn, the
taxpayer.
The cost of probation is
approximately one tenth
that of incarceration.
According to recent
statistics, the cost to
house an individual in the
Texas Department of Cor
rections is approximately
$9.80 per day. It costs ap
proximately .92 cents per
day to supervise an in
dividual on probation,
with .38 cents of that com
ing from supervisory fees
paid by the probationer.
Operational expenses for
an individual incarcerated
locally is approximately
$20 per day.
Probation offers an al
ternative for the non-
violent first offender that
is worthwhile to consider
for both the offender and
the community. Without
the alternative probation
provides, the revenue col
lected would not have
been possible, in addition
to lower administrative
costs, all of which pro
vides society as a whole
and the individual as a
taxpayer, significant
economic benefits. Pro
bation is cost effective
and the best overall al
ternative to incarcera
tion.
If anyone has any ques
tions or is interested in
obtaining further infor
mation, contact Damiano
