PUBLIC HEARING Photo Red Light Enforcement Program; (304) <br /> <br /> Police Sergeant Blanc explained the background stating that in August 2000, Council <br /> directed the Police Department to proceed with implementation of the program at five <br /> locations within the City. Three vendors were researched with Lockheed-Martin <br /> recognized as the leader with more clients and locations than all other vendors combined. <br /> Additionally, the vendor is experienced in working with the courts to implement the <br /> citation process. <br /> <br /> Mayor Ruskin opened the public hearing. <br /> <br /> Rudy Luca asked about the cost for the first year and whether the costs rise thereafter <br /> during the three-year contract. He also asked what type of identification the photo captures. <br /> <br /> Sergeant Blanc responded that the costs for implementation are fixed at $25,000.00 per <br /> month per camera or $150,000.00. Additionally, there are fixed costs of $150,000.00 for <br /> the vendor to manage the system. There are variable costs of $50.00 per citation. The initial <br /> figure of $1.4M is based on a minimum of 30 citations per location per day. The second <br /> and third years of the contract would involve the fixed costs of $150,000.00 per year for <br /> management, $50.00 per citation, but the installation costs would not apply. <br /> <br /> Sergeant Blanc stated that the system works when the limit line (crosswalk) loops are <br /> placed in the pavement and the vehicle crosses that line. The camera takes two pictures, <br /> one of the front license plate of the vehicle and one of the driver. The film is picked up by <br /> the vendor, developed, reviewed and the owner identified by the DMV registration records. <br /> The citation is printed, reviewed by a Police officer, and mailed to the registered owner of <br /> the vehicle. The vendor answers questions, handles payments, court trials, along with <br /> analysis of citations issued and revenue generated each month. <br /> <br /> M/S Howard/Hartnett to close the public hearing.
