An Okaloosa County agency official said the county has asked the city of Fort Walton Beach to refund citations issued by a speed-enforcement camera the county says was never authorized and sits in county right of way.
The official told the meeting that "the county has identified this as county right away, and the county has high confidence in that determination" and said the county would have had to approve the camera's placement "under the enabling statute" but that such approval "never happened."
