On March 18, 2014, the City Council directed <br />staff not to exercise the available contract options with Redflex Traffic Systems, and to allow the <br />contract to expire on June 17, 2015. <br />The red light camera system will continue to operate until the agreement expires on June 17, <br />2015. As a result, the City will continue to receive revenue during the first quarter of the 2015 -16 <br />fiscal year for citations issued towards the end of the agreement. By October 1, 2015, staff <br />estimates that the City will have received the final $200,000 to $400,000 in agreement revenue. <br />The net result of the loss of revenue as well as the corresponding reduction in operational and <br />contractual costs ranges from $800,000 to $1 million. <br />Upon expiration of the contract, Redflex has sixty (60) days to remove equipment and restore <br />damaged infrastructure at its sole cost and expense. Should Redflex not remove or make the <br />required restoration, the City will be able to remove the equipment and charge the company. <br />Police Department resources currently assigned to the red light camera program will be <br />reallocated to other enforcement and educational activities focused on improving traffic, <br />pedestrian, and bicycle safety. <br />19E -1 <br />
