Los Fresnos rejects red light camera proposal
Comments 0 | Recommend 0LOS FRESNOS — At Tuesday’s city council meeting, a motion to solicit proposals for red light cameras was unanimously rejected. Mayor Pro Tem Dwight Chaffin motioned to reject, and Place One Alderwoman Yolanda Cruz seconded.
Chaffin believes there is no need for red light cameras, which photograph people running red lights. He has never heard of problems at the city’s two stoplights, he said.
“There are other issues we need to take care of,” he said.
So far, Harlingen is the only city in Cameron County to implement a red light camera system.
Also at the council meeting, members voted to allow City Administrator Mark Milum and Mayor David Winstead to begin searching for an attorney that specializes in development agreements.
Milum hopes to find an attorney quickly and he will call a special meeting to approve negotiations.
The council also changed the designation of several areas from single family to multi-family districts.
