Commissioners revise parking enforcement policy to raise fine limit to $300

The Fairfield Police Commission is set to implement significant policy revisions aimed at enhancing local traffic enforcement and parking regulations. During a recent meeting, commissioners discussed updates to the existing parking enforcement and Scottslaw policies, which will now include provisions for Automated Traffic Enforcement Devices (ATEDs) once the program is operational.

A key change proposed involves adjusting the threshold for pursuing collections on unpaid fines. Previously set at $250, the limit has been raised to $300, allowing for a more flexible approach in managing outstanding violations. This adjustment reflects the current circumstances and aims to improve compliance among residents.

Commissioner Fine initiated a motion to approve the revised policies, which was seconded by Commissioner Lebo, indicating strong support for the changes. The commission is now poised to finalize these updates, which are expected to streamline enforcement efforts and enhance road safety in the community.

As these policies move forward, residents can anticipate a more structured approach to traffic and parking violations, contributing to a safer and more orderly Fairfield. The commission's proactive stance highlights its commitment to adapting regulations that meet the evolving needs of the community.
