SafeLight/SafeSpeed Changes To Be Considered By LCG

Tuesday night, the Lafayette City-Parish Council will consider some big changes to the SafeLight/SafeSpeed program.

An ordinance up for final adoption will modify certain aspects of the current Code of Ordinances for Electronic Enforcement, as requested by the council when the contract with Redflex was renewed back in May.

In a memo to the administration, City-Parish Attorney Mike Hebert identified the following items which would be addressed in the proposed ordinance:

1. Removal of the booting provision as a method of collection for unpaid violation fines of red-light running and speed under the Electronic Enforcement section of the Code of Ordinances.

2. A program to recover unpaid fines for violations.

3. Identifying the Director responsible
