In accordance with applicable provisions of law, any or all persons granted probation by a court of competent jurisdiction (hereafter "Probationer") may be compelled, by judicial order, to perform labor under the direction of the probation officer, or such other person as the court may direct, on public property or works within the City. Public property or works shall include, but not be limited to, public grounds, roads, streets, alleys, highways, trails, parks, beaches, public buildings, or in such other places as the city may deem advisable for the benefit of the public; provided, however, that no probationer shall be compelled to perform labor if the performance of such labor is beyond a person's physical capabilities, or if to do so would endanger the safekeeping of such probationer in any respect.

No probationer engaged in the performance of labor pursuant to Court order shall be deemed, for any purpose, to be an employee of, or to be employed by, the City in any capacity.
