Van Bibber Lake board hears proposal to make Marshal full-time, move to written tickets

Marshal Alan Driver Jr. told the Van Bibber Lake Conservancy Board that noise complaints, abandoned-vehicle enforcement limits and speeding on County Road 450 are ongoing concerns. He proposed converting the Marshal position to full-time (45 hours per week) at an approximate annual cost of $55,000 including POA funding and was directed to submit a formal written proposal for board review.

Alan reported the marshals have been issuing primarily warnings during their first 12 months and the district will move to written tickets once e-ticketing is available. The board asked staff to post notice on the VBL Conservancy website to inform residents that tickets will be issued going forward and requested a written proposal with cost details and funding sources.

Next steps: Alan Driver Jr. will provide a formal written proposal for the board to consider at a future meeting; the board will review staffing costs, funding sources and enforcement procedures before any staffing decision is approved.
