The Rio Rancho Governing Body unanimously voted to allow public service aides to give parking tickets and other traffic citations. The Governing Body voted 6-0 at its Aug. 22 meeting in favor of an ordinance to amend the Chapter 70 Uniform Traffic Code. The amendment allows non-sworn personnel to enforce traffic code provisions, such as parking and registration, through a written directive from Rio Rancho Police Chief Stewart Steele. The amendment aims to improve quality of life by addressing issues like disabled vehicles and public nuisances. This was the second reading of the ordinance with the first reading also passing 6-0 at the Aug. 8 Governing Body meeting.
