Route 6 speed camera energized; village says petition referendum was invalid due to incomplete paperwork
Summary
Officials said power and signage for a Route 6 speed camera were recently connected and that a 30-day warning period will precede ticketing; council also said a referendum petition related to the camera was found incomplete and was not placed on the ballot.
Village staff told the Roaming Shores Village Council that power had been connected to the Route 6 pole and signage installed; staff is gathering data to determine the first day of warnings and said a 30-day warning phase will precede ticketing for speed-camera violations.
An administrator explained the timeline and public inquiries: "the camera was not energized yet and the signage was not placed on Route Six. Uh since I believe it was Monday, the power has been connected to the pole and the signage has been installed on Route 6. I'm gathering the data on when the first day of warnings will be submitted ... and from that date ... it will be a 30-day warning phase before anybody is ticketed." Council said they would send program literature and an independent letter explaining the program to residents.
Council also discussed a petition/referendum process related to the matter. The administrator and independent legal counsel reviewed the petition paperwork and determined it was incomplete or untimely and therefore the board of elections did not place the referendum on the ballot. As a result, the village advised residents to contact the board of elections for definitive information about ballot procedures.
Next steps: staff will publish program materials and schedule public information distribution; the 30-day warning period will begin once staff determines the first day of warnings based on the camera data.
