<br />The Sheriff's Department believes there are numerous benefits to such programs that <br />include: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. More visibility in the community due to more violator contacts. <br /> <br />. Better educational tool to change negative driving conduct. <br /> <br />. Enforcement that allows for monetary penalties beyond a warning citation, and <br />less than imposed criminal fines by the court system. <br /> <br />. Addressing speed violations at a lesser threshold at five to ten miles over the <br />speed limit. <br /> <br />· Administrative citations would not record to the driving record. <br /> <br />. Program administered by the Sheriff's Department as a stand-alone program not <br />intergraded into any existing Administrative City Ordinance. <br /> <br />. Decreased court costs. <br /> <br />. Additional revenue returned to the City or applied to offset Law Enforcement <br />costs. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />This program would have some financial cost to printing of the tag books and some <br />clerical tracking of those tags. There is a potential controversial issue with these <br />programs that involve legislative or court challenges. <br /> <br />Having researched and reviewed other administrative citations programs the Sheriff's <br />Department recommends the implementation of this law enforcement tool that would <br />benefit the Contracting Cities and the public. Attached is a sample recommended <br />ordinance for your review and consideration. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />b. ~~'-^'-- <br /> <br />George Altendorfer <br />Division Commander <br />Patrol Division <br />Ramsey County Sheriff's Department <br /> <br />e <br />
