AUTOMATED SPEED ENFORCEMENT
Brighton council will be asked to take the final steps toward making an Automated Speed Enforcement system a reality at its meeting Monday.
Staff is recommending the creation of Privacy Impact Assessment whereby the municipality must protect the personal information from the province’s vehicle information database. The municipal protocols must be approved by the Ministry of Transportation before speed cameras can be utilized.
Also, staff are recommending council approve a revised contract with the company that would create and mail speeding tickets. The revised agreement would see administration costs dopping to $10 a ticket from $13.
When finally approved, Brighton’s speed camera would be set up on Elizabeth Street near its pubic and secondary schools.
LABOUR CONTRACT
Brighton council will be asked to ratify a three-year contract with its non-union staff.
The agreement, which starts January 1, 2025 and runs through the end of 2027 features a pay increase of 4.75 per cent in each of the first two years and 3.5 per cent in the third year.
The percentage increases for 2025 and 2026 are similar to those given to Brighton’s unionized workers.
PHYSICIAN RECRUITMENT
Brighton council will be asked to consider investing more money into doctor recruitment.
Staff are asking that $50,000 be added to the 2025 budget to help pay for moving or start-up costs for new physicians.
The $50,000 total would allow for five new doctors to receive a maximum of $10,000 each.
Brighton currently offers a program totalling $100,000 spread over five years aimed at attracting new physicians.
