Magistrate denies requests for community service or payment plans for some fined drivers
Summary
Several petitioners asked for leniency, including alternatives such as community service or payment plans; the Special Magistrate stated those options are not available and upheld fines where violations were found.
Multiple petitioners asked the Special Magistrate for leniency during the May 21, 2026 hearing. Carl Collum said he "is never in a rush" and asked for forgiveness. Wayne Wilson Jr., attending with Faith Nicole Lane, asked whether the city would allow community service or a payment plan after several notices were presented for review.
The Special Magistrate responded that neither community service nor payment plans are an option in these administrative enforcement proceedings and proceeded to enter findings and fines where violations were found. Several petitioners were informed of payment windows and the procedure to transfer liability if another driver should be identified.
