Quitman approves $50 increase to most police fines; DUI fine excluded
Summary
City Manager Willie Burns asked the council to raise the Quitman Police Department fine schedule by $50 across the board, excluding the DUI fine; council approved the request at the June 10 meeting. The transcript records the motion and limited roll-call details.
The Quitman City Council approved an across-the-board $50 increase to most Quitman Police Department fines at its June 10 meeting after a request from City Manager Willie Burns.
Burns asked council to review the department's fine schedule and to approve a uniform $50 increase with the DUI fine excluded from the change. Council Member Donald Morgan moved to adopt the change and Mayor Pro Tem Lula Smart seconded the motion. The motion was approved as recorded in the meeting transcript; the transcript lists "Voting yes (Harrison and Neloms)" but does not provide a full roll-call tally in the record provided.
The meeting record places the fine-schedule discussion within the City Manager report and again lists an agenda item titled "UPDATE CURRENT FINE SCHEDULE." The transcript does not record additional detail about which specific fine categories or amounts (aside from the $50 increase and the DUI exclusion) will change, nor does it state an effective date for the new schedule.
The council discussed other agenda items afterward and entered executive session later in the meeting. The transcript does not show any public comment on the fine increase.
