1. imposing a minimum imprisonment sentence of 3o days but not more than 1 year;
2. or upon request from the defendant the court may convert jail time to community service hours
with each individual day of jail sentenced being equal to eight hours of community service
3. Such sentence must run consecutive to any other sentence.
Nick Wallace, Schulteis Tabler and Wallace, spoke in support of the Ordinance amendment. Bill Birney —
Ephrata, has recently been "tagged" and spoke in favor of the change, but stated that he doesn't feel he
should be responsible for the removal. The person doing the tagging should be responsible. Nita Whitver

into community service. Prosecutor Angus Lee gave a speech to those in attendance. Commissioner
