<br />Direct staff to not exercise the available contract options with Redflex Traffic Systems for
<br />Automated Red Light Camera System and allow the contract to expire in June 2015.
<br />DISCUSSION
<br />The City's Automated Red Light Camera System (ARLCS) is operated by Redflex Traffic
<br />Systems and is scheduled to expire on June 21, 2015. Fifteen (15) intersections are covered by
<br />the existing contract. Chief Rojas has provided the attached memo outlining detailed information
<br />on the program, legislative updates, as well as revenue and expenditures for the past five years.
<br />The expense and revenue breakdown since FY 2008 -09 is listed below. During this period, the
<br />net revenue impact is $291,583, equivalent to $58,316 annually.
<br />Staff surveyed cities in Orange County to determine which agencies are utilizing ARLCS; Los
<br />Alamitos, Garden Grove, and Laguna Woods operate similar systems.
<br />It is staff's recommendation that the City not exercise the options at the conclusion of the contract
<br />in 2015 for the following reasons: ARLCS revenues have had a minimal impact, of red light
<br />activations only 50% are submitted to the court, and legislative changes threaten the
<br />sustainability of ARLCS.
