Wynnedale council tables license plate reader and speed-hump proposals after mixed survey results
Summary
After resident surveys showed split opinions, the Wynnedale Town Council voted to table decisions on license plate readers and speed humps and agreed to resend a survey with a 60% response threshold. The transcript does not record a roll-call tally for the tabling motion.
The Wynnedale Town Council voted on Sept. 24 to table any decision on installing license plate readers or adding speed humps after residents and council members discussed mixed survey results.
Tammy Callahan, who led the discussion of the proposals, reported that the resident survey showed 55% in favor of license plate readers and 45% opposed, while speed humps were opposed by a slight majority (52.5% against, 47.5% for). Callahan also noted two households—identified in the minutes as the Axness/Mehta family and the Smith family—did not receive the survey.
Juana Johnson moved to resend the survey and require at least a 60% response rate before the council would act on either measure; Sue Rice seconded the motion and suggested residents be given information in mailboxes. After extended questions from residents and discussion, the council voted to table both proposals; Juana Johnson moved to table both and Cheryl McBride seconded. The transcript records the tabling motion and who seconded it but does not include a roll-call vote tally.
The council left the issue open for future consideration pending a broader response to a reissued survey and any additional information council members request. The council proceeded to the budget portion of the meeting later that evening and left the budget meeting unfinished.
