Appointment of Special Magistrates for Red Light Camera Hearings
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of this Resolution.

violations, crashes, and injuries caused by red-light runners. The goal is to change drivers' behavior,
ensuring the community's safety as more drivers obey traffic signals and stop on red. To provide due
process for who wish to contest their civil violation, local hearing officers (Special Magistrates) are
required to preside over hearings, as authorized under Chapter 316, Florida Statutes.
This Resolution appoints Rene E. Lamar, Oliver J. Langstadt, and Myra Perez to preside over the
hearings on a rotation basis based availability.
