Upon a plea or finding of guilty, the Court may impose sentence at once or schedule sentencing for the next regularly scheduled court date.
(Port Gamble S’Klallam Law and Order Code. Res. 84 A 03, 2/14/1984, amended this section to allow the court greater flexibility in scheduling.)
The Court shall impose sentence on a defendant within the limits prescribed by this code. The Court may suspend all or part of the sentence on such conditions as to the Court seem just. The Court shall advise convicted defendants of their right to appeal upon pronouncing a guilty verdict.
(Port Gamble S’Klallam Law and Order Code. Res. 84 A 03, 2/14/1984, amended this section, adding the pronouncement of the right to appeal.)
A person sentenced for an offense by the Community Court may be ordered by the Court to perform community service work in lieu of any fines assessed. Such order shall issue only when: a) The defendant requests it; and b) The Tribe agrees in writing, such writing must include the number of hours it is willing to supervise, who will supervise, the nature of the work and be signed by both the person who will supervise and the Court Administrator or designee. The Juvenile Justice Officer may request community service for a juvenile. The Tribe assumes no liability for community service performed. The Court shall set a deadline for completion of community service hours. Each hour of community service shall reduce the fine by $8.00 in 2005, to increase in subsequent years by a rate set by the Court Administrator, based on the annual employee cost of living increase established by the Tribal Council, if any.
(Port Gamble S’Klallam Law and Order Code. Res. 84 A 03, 2/14/1984, amended this section to define the hourly rate and to require tribal recommendation for imposing such sentence; amended by Res. 05-A-054, 6/14/2005.)
If a person convicted of any crime under this code has gained money or property or caused a victim to lose money or property through the commission of the crime, the Court may order the defendant to pay an amount to the victim as restitution. In such a case, the Court shall make the finding as to the amount of the defendant’s gain or the victim’s loss, based on a hearing if the evidence is not sufficient to determine the amount. The amount of restitution ordered by the Court shall be in lieu of the fine provided for the crime and shall not exceed double the amount of the defendant’s gain or the victim’s loss from the commission of crime.
