Any charitable organization or governmental entity within the county is eligible to apply with the county community work project coordinator of the county for county probationer labor to perform a specific work project for the organization or entity.
The application forms shall be prepared by the work project coordinator of each county but shall contain the following information:
The charitable organization or governmental entity for whom the work will be performed;
The specific work project for which county probationer labor is requested;
The specific job skills, if any, that will be required to complete the project;
The number of county probationers requested for the project;
The anticipated period of time the work project will take to complete; and
The person in the organization or entity that will be responsible for the supervision and care of any county probationer working on the project.
When the work project application forms have been prepared, any charitable organization exempt from taxation pursuant to § 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 (26 U.S.C. § 501(c)(3)), or any agency, branch, department or other entity of municipal, county or state government may submit an application for county probationer labor to the county community work project coordinator of the county in which the work project is to be performed.
The county community work project coordinator shall review each application so submitted and first determine whether the organization or entity is eligible for county probationer labor under subsection (c). If the coordinator determines it is not, the application shall be rejected. If the coordinator determines that the application is from an eligible organization or entity, the coordinator may approve it or reject it. If it is rejected, the coordinator shall state the reasons for the rejection in writing and send a copy to the applicant. The coordinator may also approve an application subject to certain modifications the coordinator deems necessary. If of the opinion that a work project should be modified as to certain particulars, the coordinator shall send a copy of the proposed modifications to the applicant. If the applicant agrees to the modifications, the coordinator may approve the application as modified. If the coordinator and applicant cannot agree as to some or all of the modifications, the coordinator may approve the application as originally filed, may approve the application subject to the agreed upon modifications or may reject the application.
The decision of a county community work project coordinator as to whether an organization or entity is eligible for a work project and as to whether the application should be approved or rejected shall be final and shall not be subject to review by appeal except in cases of abuse of discretion. The director of probation of the county has authority over the appeals.
