Lawrence Victoria, an aide to Representative Irving Slosberg, explained the purpose <br />of the bill written in the above letter. He specified that Representative Slosberg wanted <br />language that the Traffic Magistrate cannot waive this fee. <br />Conunissioner Adams asked for clarification and was advised that the fees collected <br />in our county will be added to the monies already in the schools' Drivers' Ed programs. She <br />understood that the policies and procedures will be developed by Administrator Chandler <br />and the grants will be used for direct educational expenses for both public and private <br />schools. <br />Clerk of Circuit Court Jeff Barton explained that the Clerk's responsibilities would <br />be to collect the fines and send the funds to the County at the end of each month. The <br />County would then disburse the funds as grants to schools that make application. Clerk <br />Barton further advised that his office will not charge a fee. He had spoken earlier to both <br />judges who handle the cases and reported they are in favor of the program. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Ginn to direct the County <br />Attorney to write up the ordinance and advertise it for public <br />hearing. <br />Commissioner Macht spoke in opposition because he believed the additional S3 fee <br />would be adding an administrative burden to the system and have a negative financial impact <br />on young people who just slip up occasionally. <br />July 9, 2002 <br />THI-.
