At a Fairfield commissioners meeting, staff presented revisions to Section A of the town’s parking-enforcement policy to add automated traffic enforcement devices (ATESDs) and to incorporate an existing Scottslaw policy; commissioners approved the changes by voice vote.
The changes were presented in the public-comment portion of Item 3. A staff member summarized the proposal, saying, “We currently have a parking enforcement and a Scottslaw policy. I just wanted to to add the ATESDs in the event when that program gets up and running. Mhmm. We can use the policy to enforce those violations.” The staff member also described an increase to the informal collections threshold: “Informally, with discussions with some of the commissioners, we had a $250 limit... I upped it to $300 just given the the time and circumstances.”
Commissioner Fine moved to approve the parking policy revisions as presented; Commissioner Lebo seconded the motion. The commission approved the motion by voice vote. The motion text on the record was to approve the policy as sent to commissioners, including the ATESD language and the adjusted collection threshold; the public record shows a voice “aye” and the chair closed the vote without a recorded roll-call tally.
The revisions add ATESDs to the town’s enforcement tools and make a specific linkage to the Scottslaw policy; the staff presentation did not specify an implementation date or timelines for when the ATESD program would be operational. Commissioners did not request additional cost estimates or an implementation schedule during the discussion recorded in the transcript.
The policy revision was recorded as an approved administrative change; the transcript indicates the commission adopted the version provided by staff during the meeting.
