The Costs Of Speeding In Irvington

In Irvington, several members of the town council have expressed concerns regarding the management and funds being allotted for overtime deputies to patrol the town. The Rappahannock Record reports during a recent meeting, Mayor Julie Harris broached council on reassessing how many hours deputies should patrol the town. Harris initially proposed a monthly schedule of 20 hours per deputy, with four deputies in the rotation, totaling eighty hours per month. According to Harris, that schedule would cost the town $3,200 a month for an annual total of $38,400. Harris said over the course of the last three months with officer presence in town, the amount of speeding has drastically decreased.
