Council to follow standard ordinance process for speed-camera proposal
Summary
Council members debated whether speed-camera legislation should be enacted as an emergency measure or follow the usual ordinance readings; they agreed to pursue the standard ordinance process to allow multiple readings and public comment.
During the June 16 Safety Committee meeting, Councilman Hudson asked whether any proposed speed-camera legislation should proceed as an emergency ordinance or follow the village's usual ordinance process with multiple readings to allow for broader resident input.
Councilman Mark Lasky opposed setting a precedent of extra meetings for low attendance and recommended using the standard ordinance route so residents have multiple publicly advertised chances to comment before final action. "I did not want to set a precedent of scheduling additional meetings solely because attendance at previous meetings was low," Lasky said. The committee agreed to proceed through the customary readings rather than pursuing emergency legislation; no formal vote was recorded.
