09/04/26 RTM Special Legislative Management Committee

The Town of Fairfield Connecticut's RTM Special Legislative Management Committee met on September 4, 2026, primarily to discuss the formation and membership of an ordinance drafting committee focused on amending the automated traffic enforcement safety device ordinance. The meeting included motions to amend the committee membership and correct the agenda language, both of which were approved unanimously. Members discussed the size and management challenges of the new committee, which will oversee rules related to traffic enforcement cameras, particularly in school zones. It was clarified that the committee's work is separate from the police department's plans to add nine new cameras in school zones, which require RTM approval and state authorization. The committee will operate under public meeting rules, with meetings open to the public but limited public comment opportunities. Signage issues related to traffic enforcement were also discussed, noting that signage standards are set by the state and local traffic authorities, with funding for improvements potentially coming from citation revenues. No specific contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting, but the ordinance drafting committee's work could influence future procurement related to traffic enforcement technology and signage.
