Representative Town Meeting (Informational Meeting) - 8/17/2026

The FairTV Government held an informational Representative Town Meeting on August 17, 2026, focused primarily on the automated traffic enforcement safety device (ATSD) program administered by the Fairfield Police Department. The meeting included a detailed report from Chief Mike Paris and Captain Hector Irizari on the program's implementation, costs, enforcement data, and community feedback. Key procurement-related discussions involved the contract with the vendor Ultimate for speed camera operations, data retention and deletion policies, and the use of revenue generated from citations to fund traffic safety infrastructure and program costs. Questions were raised about vendor compliance with data privacy laws, the possibility of hiring independent auditors to verify data deletion, and the operational plan's continuation. The meeting concluded with a resolution presented by First Selectperson Vitali to recommit to the current operational plan submitted to the Connecticut Department of Transportation, and a proposal by representatives to form an ordinance drafting committee to review and potentially amend elements of the original ordinance governing the ATSD program. No new contracts or vendor selections were made during this meeting, but policy and oversight discussions could influence future procurement and program management.
