(a) At or prior to the commencement of the probation revocation hearing, the court shall advise the probationer of the allegations and the possible consequences thereof.

(b) At the hearing, the prosecution has the burden of establishing by a preponderance of the evidence the violation of a condition of probation, except that the commission of a criminal offense must be established beyond a reasonable doubt unless the probationer has been convicted thereof in a criminal proceeding. The probation officer may appear by and through the city attorney or any of his or her assistants or in person or through any of his or her assistants. The court may, when it appears that the alleged violation of conditions of probation consists of an offense with which the probationer is charged in a criminal proceeding then pending, continue the probation revocation hearing until the termination of the criminal proceeding. Any evidence having probative value may be received, regardless of its admissibility under exclusionary rules of evidence, if the defendant is accorded a fair opportunity to rebut hearsay evidence.

(c) If the court determines that a violation of a condition of probation has been committed, it shall either revoke or continue the probation. If probation is revoked, the court may then impose any sentence or grant any probation which might originally have been imposed or granted. (Code 1979, § 25-52)
