BODY
SUBJECT/PROPOSAL/REQUEST: Public hearing to consider an ordinance to amend County Code Chapter 9, Motor Vehicles and Traffic, Article III, Video-Monitoring System
ITEM TYPE: Regular Action Item
STAFF CONTACT(S): Richardson, Walker, Kamptner, Farley, Foley, J.
PRESENTER (S): Amanda Farley
LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
REVIEWED BY: Jeffrey B. Richardson
BACKGROUND: Virginia Code ?? 46.2-208 and 46.2-844 authorize the County to enact ordinances and contract with private vendors to administer a video-monitoring system on school buses.

The changes recommended in the attached proposed ordinance (Attachment A) would conform the Albemarle County Code to those Virginia Code changes and authorize a video-monitoring program that meets legal requirements.
STRATEGIC PLAN: Quality Government Operations: Ensure County's government capacity to provide high quality service that achieves community priorities.
DISCUSSION: The attached proposed ordinance (Attachment A) incorporates Virginia Code amendments from the 2019 General Assembly session, as well as prior changes to the Virginia Code that have not previously been included in the County Code.

If the proposed ordinance is adopted and the program implemented, staff will come back to the Board approximately one year after the program is implemented to report the actual budget impact so the Board can determine what portion, if any, of the collected civil penalties should be appropriated to the School Board.
