City will hold off on school speed-zone cameras until state rules are finalized
Summary
City manager told commissioners the city’s school speed-zone cameras will remain off while state rulemaking is finalized; staff said the city (not the school system) must be the applicant and will return with a recommendation after rules are promulgated.
City manager reported that Griffin's school speed-zone cameras will remain off until state agencies promulgate rules that clarify how local governments must proceed.
"These school speed zone cameras will not be on, until August 20 when they actually promulgate rules that tell us exactly what we need to do," the city manager said, adding that the legislature changed the law and the city must decide whether it wants to be the applicant for the cameras rather than the school system. Staff noted the city's permit had expired and that they would return to the commission with a recommendation once the state clarifies requirements.
Commissioners and staff said they were monitoring the situation and will bring a formal recommendation when more details are available; no action or votes were taken at the July 28 meeting on the camera program.
The item affects school traffic enforcement near Crescent and West Poplar and may require budgetary or operational choices once rules are finalized.
