WVLT Channel 8 covered Monday's County Commission workshop discussion of automated license plate readers. As the segment noted, the Loudon County Sheriff's Office does not currently operate any license plate readers. The question in front of the Commission is what rules should be in place before that ever changes.
The bottom line
- 1Other commissioners are weighing in.The draft is open for input from members of the Commission, which is how it should be.
- 2Public libraries are being added to the scope.Library property and systems will be covered alongside other county facilities.
- 3Mr. Gray's redlines are being folded in.Joe Gray of GTFOH Loudon County submitted redlines, and those changes will be incorporated into the working draft.
- 4Next stop: the County Attorney.The revised resolution will be sent to the County Attorney for legal review.
You can read the working draft yourself. It is a working document and not a final product — other commissioners can still weigh in, and the County Attorney has not reviewed it yet:
On timing, plainly: once the resolution goes into review, I have no control over the process or the speed at which it travels. What I can do is keep you informed at each step, and I will.
Background
The full case for the resolution, the contract analysis, and the legal record are in the two earlier write-ups.
