Onley council reinstates traffic‑enforcement overtime pilot after mixed early results
Summary
Council reinstated the Traffic Enforcement Overtime Program on May 4, 2026, after hearing preliminary results: 13 tickets adjudicated (total assessed $1,183), 45 pending, average assessed value to date about $91 per ticket, and total program payouts of $3,659.92; council also discussed recordkeeping improvements and speed‑sign performance.
The Onley Town Council voted May 4 to reinstate the Traffic Enforcement Overtime Program after a preliminary report on the pilot’s results.
Councilman Jason Campbell summarized the program: 13 of the tickets written under the pilot have been to court so far, with the judge assessing a total of $1,183; 45 other tickets remain pending. Campbell said the average assessed value for tickets so far is about $91 and that the total paid for the program to date is $3,659.92. He cautioned that penalties are set by the court and that the town cannot guarantee a particular dollar outcome per citation.
Council voted to reinstate the program on a motion by Campbell, seconded by Councilman Daniel Bloxom; Councilman Brian Corbin recorded a single 'no' vote. During the meeting Chief of Police E.J. Long reported that speed-display signs are up and functioning (one unit had a small glitch that was fixed) and the department is tracking staffing changes, including Officer Pieper acclimating to the community. Council asked staff to sort and track traffic tickets by shift or program (regular shift, grant program, overtime enforcement) to improve recordkeeping.
The council did not set a funding or operational timeline for the reinstated overtime enforcement program during the meeting; staff will return with details on scheduling and projected costs.
