Sergeant wanted dui offenders to reimburse the city for Services Connected<\/a> to their crime fire and rescue, tow truck, and repair work to public property. C 1 00 49 Ronald Mcclenny<\/a> retired Police Officer<\/a> i knew this was money that could be collected and it wouldnt take much effort to collect it the city passed the law and mcclenny even won an award for his idea. A few years later he wanted to see how the dui ordinance was helping the citys balance sheet. C 1 and found the same thing the fee is on the books but so instead of saving the taxpayers some money. C 1 7 08 Ronald Mcclenny<\/a> retired Police Officer<\/a> i wasted the taxpayers dollars myself by doing the research and the time i spent looking these things up. Like mcclenny we went looking for answers. Franklins City Attorney<\/a> says there are several reasons why the dui fine goes unused. C 1 39 58 Taylor Williams<\/a> franklin City Attorney<\/a> we are not surprised that its not applicable, or hasnt been applied, on a regular basis franklin has low speed limits. C 1 35 49 Taylor Williams<\/a> franklin limit that is above 35 mph few watering holes. C 1 where people could go and drink and a population of just 85 hundred. So we investigated some bigger fish of the seven cities four of them have laws similar to franklins map chesapeake, Virginia Beach<\/a>, hampton, and norfolk. chesapeake graphic chesapeake collected an average of 24 thousand dollars each year on the dui fee over the past three years. 27 thousand dollars last year. C 1 29 51 John Atkinson<\/a> Virginia Beach<\/a> treasurer its not a large sum of money but obviously in an environment such as ours, anything helps. In hampton, we sampled more than 300 dui convictions and the city imposed the fee just twice. Norfolk does not pursue from the commonwealths of our dui cases. Still, were aware of the applicable city and state laws and discuss them from time to time. That surprised norfolk commissioner of the revenue evans poston. C 19 29 55 evans poston taxing the citizens is probably worth looking at poston says if the city could collect, say, 25 thousand a year, that could go toward a salary for a Police Officer<\/a>, firefighter, or teacher. C 19 30 55 Evans Poston Norfolk<\/a> revenue commissioner they could probably do some neighborhood improvements with some of that money. Virginia process creating a direct line from the arresting officer to the monitors the offense, puts the information into my computer system, and we in turn take over from there. Maybe other cities could use atkinsons system. That would make the guy with the awardwinning idea a lot happier. C 1 collecting could help pay the officers and reimburse collecting could help pay the officers and reimburse the city coffers. Chris horne reporting. Cities have an option of charging a flat 350dollars per dui conviction, or actual costs to a maximum of onethousand dollars. If a city does charge the dui fee, and the offender does not pay it the state can take over and deduct it from any state tax refund.
