Staff to present school-zone speed detection ordinance for commission review
Summary
An ordinance creating a new Article 5 in Chapter 14 would authorize school-zone speed detection programs under Florida law; staff said the Commission will hear a detailed presentation and must hold a public hearing to designate zones with heightened safety risk.
City staff said the Commission will consider an ordinance to establish speed detection systems to enforce school-zone speed limits.
Tanya Sterling, assistant to the City Manager, said the ordinance creates Article 5 of Chapter 14, entitled Speed Detection Systems, and would authorize the city to implement school-zone speed detection programs in accordance with Florida law. "Florida law requires the determination that the identified school zones establishes a heightened safety risk to be presented at a public hearing," Sterling said, and she said staff will provide a detailed presentation at the Commission meeting the next day.
Staff did not take a vote during the workshop; the ordinance was listed on the agenda for first reading at the Commission meeting.
