Campbell moves ahead with cameras to catch speeders
CAMPBELL — City council took the final steps to set up a automated camera system to catch speeders.
Council unanimously approved ordinances tonight setting up the appeal process for anyone cited for speeding with the camera; and it allocated the revenue generated by the device, after paying expenses, of 75 percent to equipment and infrastructure, and 25 percent to the employee severance payments fund.
Street resurfacing is an example of an infrastructure project. Severance pay is given to retiring employees for unused vacation or sick leave, Mayor John Dill said.
The use of automated cameras was controversial in Girard and was challenged in court. Despite an Ohio Supreme Court ruling early this year that the practice is legal, however, Girard has not reinstated the cameras.

Times are hard,money is tight but Campbell now has your funds in sight. Why not just set up toll booths and collect from all?
What a JOKE. This is a community that is in dire NEED of cars travelling through its thoroughfares. And what a great Public Relations feat by the elected officials of Campbell; lets TICKET the idiots stupid enough to travel into our fair city and maybe spend some of their dollars frequenting our Campbell Merchants!
