Report LS2025-01 Administrative Monetary Penalty System (AMPS)

The report updated Council on the status of the Administrative Monetary Penalty System Project (AMPS). By-law 09-2025 outlined the adjudication process, from ticket issuance to resolution, and includes both parking and non-parking penalty amounts.

The bylaw also incorporates the current and prescribed set fines, previously approved by the Ministry of Attorney General. These fines are now designated as administrative penalties under the AMPS bylaw.

Report LS2025-02 Automated Speed Enforcement Update

The report updated Council on the status of the Automated Speed Enforcement Program.

The intent with the ASE program is that it will promote compliance in high traffic areas and change driver behavior. The program requires the town to establish it in accordance with provisions contained within the Traffic Act. Automated speed cameras can only be placed on roads where the speed limit is less than 80 km/h and where selected roads fall within community safety zones or school zones. Notice must be provided to users of the road system, and prescribed signage is mandatory. A 90-day notice is required to be given to users of the system. The approved by-laws establish and implement the system while also entering into the required agreements with the Province of Ontario to run the program.
