Commissioners adopt Code Home Rule Bill 1-26 to lift county ban on traffic-photo enforcement
Summary
The board adopted Code Home Rule Bill 1-26 to repeal the county prohibition on traffic-law photo monitoring devices (section 461-9). No public speakers signed up; the motion passed during the meeting.
The Allegany County Board of County Commissioners voted to adopt Code Home Rule Bill 1-26, which repeals the existing local prohibition on traffic law photo monitoring devices under section 461-9 of the county code.
County counsel summarized the bill and said a public hearing was held on Feb. 26. No members of the public were registered to speak at tonight's meeting, and a commissioner moved to adopt the ordinance. The chair called for the vote and the commissioners answered in the affirmative.
The transcript does not record a roll-call tally in the public portion of the meeting. The county attorney previously briefed the board during the closed session process about legal steps and indicated the county attorney will respond to an open meetings compliance board matter related to earlier proceedings.
The ordinance language repeals the prohibition in section 461-9 in its entirety; the board moved and approved the item at the meeting.
