Hiram police to activate speed cameras July 15 after four-week warning period
Summary
Police Chief Brian Gregory told council the department has issued speed warnings for four weeks and plans to activate automated speed enforcement on July 15; council raised concerns about the $75,000 revenue estimate in the 2025 budget, which the fiscal officer said is adjustable.
Police Chief Brian Gregory told the Hiram Village Council on July 9 that the department is in the fourth week of issuing speed warnings and expects the automated speed‑enforcement system to be operational Monday, July 15.
"We are on our fourth week of speed warnings. We will be live with the system on Monday, July 15th," Police Chief Brian Gregory said. He also said he has spoken with campus safety about use of the northern part of the trail parking lot by AVI.
Councilors later reviewed the Fiscal Officer's 2025 proposed budget and said they were uncomfortable with the $75,000 revenue estimate attributed to speed cameras. Fiscal Officer Susan Skrovan‑DeYoung responded that the figure is an estimate and can be amended upward or downward during the year as actual receipts are realized.
The council took no separate vote specifically to authorize activation during the meeting; the meeting record shows the council approved the overall 2025 proposed budget resolution (Resolution 2024‑23) by voice vote 6–0 and discussed revenue assumptions. The chief's update and the council's budget discussion indicate the department will proceed with activation while financial projections remain subject to revision.
Council also discussed a separate operational issue: the chief said he had spoken with campus safety about AVI's use of the northern trail parking area; no formal action on that point was recorded.
