Welcome aboard! This is a list of public meetings and agendas to help you follow the work of officials you’ve elected.

School zone speed traps?

When folks tap the brakes by schools, it could be due to courtesy. Or it could be because of those speed cameras trained at the road, ready to snap a picture and signal a computer somewhere to mail out a speeding ticket. 

The driver pays, the local government gets a cut of the money and the speed camera company gets a cut.

City and county police departments have been allowed to install automatic speed detection cameras at schools since the Georgia legislature authorized it in 2018. But our partner newsroom WABE reported last week that some Georgia House lawmakers are ready to cancel that bit of local control.  Legislators who oppose the cameras say the devices can be faulty and the companies who run them unresponsive and the outcome is gouged drivers.

If you’re interested in speed limits, local government contracts — or just want to know more about what’s going on in your community, check out our list of public meetings for the next two weeks and click on some agendas if the government has posted them already. Let us know how we’re doing with this list, how you’re using it or ideas you have for improving it.

This list starts with an automated collection and is checked and edited by a human. But agencies may announce new meetings, change meeting times or cancel them, sometimes without any online notice. Some publish calendars in more than one place with different information.  Some rely on Facebook posts which may require a login to read and cannot be collected automatically. 

You may want to call ahead and verify the meeting time and place, especially for smaller agencies.


We want to meet your friends! If you like this newsletter be sure to share it.
