SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO THAT.

YES.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU, SIR.

THANK YOU, MARY COUNSEL.

NEXT ON OUR AGENDA IS THE CONSENT AGENDA.

I DID HAVE TWO ITEMS THAT WERE CALLED IN BOTH BY COUNCIL MEMBER.

ORLANDO FIRST IS, UM, NUMBER SEVEN,

[7. Introduction of Ordinance No. 4967, PLH20-0052/PLT20-0039 Serene Estates Rezoning Move City Council introduce and tentatively adopt Ordinance No. 4967 approving PLH20-0052 Serene Estates, Rezoning from Neighborhood Commercial (C-1) to Planned Area Development for single-family residential, located northwest of the northwest corner of Galveston and Hartford streets, subject to the conditions as recommended by Planning and Zoning Commission. Preliminary Development Plan Move City Council approve Preliminary Development Plan PLH20-0052 Serene Estates for subdivision layout and housing product, located northwest of the northwest corner of Galveston and Hartford streets, subject to the conditions as recommended by Planning and Zoning Commission. Preliminary Plat Move City Council approve Preliminary Plat PLT20-0039 Serene Estates, located northwest of the northwest corner of Galveston and Hartford streets, subject to the condition recommended by Planning and Zoning Commission. Council Focus Area(s):]

COUNCIL MEMBER ORLANDO.

LET'S SEE THE NEW NUMBER SEVEN, I BELIEVE IS THE, UH, SERINA STATES.

IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT.

BY SAYING YES, NO FIRST ONE THERE.

ALL I WANT TO DO IS, UH, I WANT TO THANK THE STAFF.

THE DEVELOPERS REPRESENTATIVES, THE CITIZENS, UH, AND, AND OBVIOUSLY, UH, OUR CITY, THEY, UH, YOU KNOW, I PERSONALLY, UH, WITNESSED SEVERAL PHONE CALLS AND BACK AND FORTH, AND THIS WAS A MODEL THAT WHERE EVERYONE CAN WORK TOGETHER, COME UP WITH A SOLUTION AND EVERYONE COULD WALK AWAY HAPPY.

AND, UH, I THINK AGAIN, THE DEVELOPER AND THE RESIDENTS AS WELL, STEPPED, THEY THREE, UH, DEVELOPMENT ITEMS HERE IN ITEM 10, 11, AND 12.

UM, AND I, THE RESIDENTS ARE SATISFIED.

SO, UH, THIS WAS WHEN NOT TO COME ACTION TO CONSENT.

SO AGAIN, THIS IS JUST ANOTHER, ANOTHER THING WORKING TOGETHER AND BE ABLE TO GET A SOLUTION VERSUS, UH, BEING CONFRONTATIONAL AND MAYBE NOT HAVE A SOLUTION, SO KUDOS EVERYONE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

GREAT.

ITEM CALLED IN WAS ITEM, UM, NUMBER 10, THE FOREIGN TRADE ZONE WITH, UH, WITH, UH, THE ARMY.

[10. Resolution No. 5458, Authorizing Support for a Foreign Trade Zone Application for Viavi Solutions, Inc.; Manufacturing Facility to be Located at 3455 South McQueen Road Move to approve Resolution No. 5458, authorizing support for a Foreign Trade Zone application for Viavi Solutions, Inc.; manufacturing facility to be located at 3455 South McQueen Road; authorizing support for a property tax reclassification from class one to class six for all new personal property; authorizing a development agreement between Viavi and the City of Chandler; authorizing the execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Chandler and the City of Phoenix; and authorizing the Mayor to sign the Resolution and related documents as approved by the City Attorney. Council Focus Area(s):]

OUT TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO TO HELP OUT, WE CERTAINLY WOULD APPRECIATE THAT.

OR AGAIN, JUST, JUST WHO'S WHO'S GOT THIS.

UH, DOES IT, YOU, UM, THAT KIND OF DEVELOPMENT? YEAH, I FIGURED AS MUCH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR, MICAH MIRANDA, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MICHAEL MORGAN, USUALLY AT FOODS THESE DAYS.

NO, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU.

AND THE STAFF FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD.

NOW WE NORMALLY DON'T DO MANY FOREIGN TRADE ZONES.

I'VE DONE A COUPLE ON THE COUNCIL.

IT BASICALLY IS A REDUCTION IN TAXES BECAUSE THEY DEAL IN GLOBALLY, BUT THAT'S GOOD NEWS FOR US BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WE'RE A GLOBAL PRESENCE HERE IN CHANDLER.

UM, BUT TRADITIONALLY, UH, AND I SHARED THIS WITH THE CITY MANAGER AND I KNOW THE MAYOR OBVIOUSLY KNOWS AS WELL.

SOME OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS HERE, TRADITIONALLY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT DOESN'T SHARE OBVIOUSLY, AND SOME OF THOSE REWARDS.

SO WE'VE ASKED OUR CORPORATE CITIZENS IN THE PAST TO GET WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, CHAT WITH THEM, TO SEE HOW THEY CAN HELP THEM BE SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THE SCHOOL'S DISTRICT SUCCESSFUL.

THEY'RE GOING TO PROVIDE THE FUTURE EMPLOYEES TO THIS COMPANY.

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT PUBLIC, I WANT TO, YOU KNOW, GET WITH YOU AND WHEREVER ELSE NEEDS, IT NEEDS TO DEAL WITH THESE INDIVIDUALS AND REMIND THEM OF THAT HISTORY WE HAVE WITH THESE NEW COMPANIES MOVING TO CHANDLER, THANK YOU FOR PICKING CHANDLER OBVIOUSLY, BUT IF THEY COULD REACH

[00:20:01]

AND THAT WOULD HELP THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WITH MAKE UP A LITTLE BIT OF THE DELTA THAT THEY'RE POTENTIAL LOSING FOR THIS COMPANY THROUGH THE MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBER, ORLANDO, UH, WHAT YOU SPOKE ABOUT THAT, THE RELATIONSHIP, BUT WE LIKE TO REFER TO AS THE EDUCATION EMPLOYMENT FEEDBACK LOOP WAS ONE OF THE THINGS WE DISCUSSED WITH THE COMPANY PRIOR TO THEM SELECTING CHANDLER.

AND SO, UH, THEY'VE SHARED WITH US, UM, THEY DEFINITELY WANT TO ENGAGE WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, THE COMMUNITY, AND HAVE EXPRESSED INTEREST IN ALREADY PARTNERING ON THE SCI-TECH FESTIVAL AND THOSE OTHER PARTNERS.

GOOD.

I APPRECIATE THAT.

LIKE I SAID, EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS KEEP US STRONG AND COMPETITIVE AND THAT'S, THAT'S THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS VERY COMPETITIVE EDGE WE HAVE.

SO WE WANT TO HELP KEEP THAT GOING.

THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

THANK YOU, SIR.

OTHER THIS OR OTHER ITEMS ON THE AGENDA TAB? THOSE ARE THE ONLY TWO CALLED YET.

SEEING NONE OTHER THAT CONCLUDES OUR STUDY SESSION.

I GOT A QUESTION.

SORRY.

UM, COUNCIL MEMBERS, UM, IT WAS ONLINE THIRD.

AND COUNCIL MEMBER HERE, IT'S HELPFUL FOR STAFF.

IF THEY KNOW THEY HAVE THE RIGHT INFORMATION FOR US.

SO PLEASE MAKE SURE IF WE MISSED IT OR IF THE CLERK MISSED IT, THAT'S ON THE CITY THAT MAKES SURE WE CALL THESE ENDS SO THAT THEY CAN GET STAFF THERE TO ANSWER THESE QUESTION 13.

I WANTED TO, THIS WAS, UM, THIS WAS ABOUT THE PHOTO ENFORCEMENT AND I HAD SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT IT.

UM, WELL, UM, I GUESS IF THIS STAFF IS NOT HERE TO REALLY ANSWER THE QUESTION, I JUST HAD A, I HAD A FEW QUESTIONS, BUT IF STAFF IS NOT AVAILABLE TO ASK THESE QUESTIONS, WE CALL, WE VOTE ON IT ON NO, GO AHEAD.

THEY MIGHT BE, I'M JUST NOT SURE THE RIGHT QUESTION.

REMEMBER.

OH, OKAY.

LET'S HEAR ABOUT THAT AS WELL.

UM,

[14. Agreement No. PD5-961-3521, Amendment No. 1, with American Traffic Solutions Inc., dba Verra Mobility, for Photo Enforcement Move City Council approve Agreement No. PD5-961-3521, Amendment No. 1, with American Traffic Solutions, Inc., dba Verra Mobility, for photo enforcement, in a combined amount not to exceed $2,500,000, for the period of five years beginning April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2026. Council Focus Area(s):]

UM, MY FIRST QUESTION WAS THAT, UM, SO WOULD THIS BE THE CHIEF? YEAH.

THIS MR. CHAIRMAN WAS COUNSEL.

I COULD ASK OUR CHIEF OF POLICE, SEAN DUGGAN.

HE DOES HAVE SOME, UM, PREPARED FEEDBACK ON THIS MORNING.

AND IF YOU CALL THIS INTERNET A PREVIOUS, I'M SORRY.

I MEANT THAT.

GO AHEAD.

NO, I DIDN'T PROCEED.

HOW YOU DOING STEVE? I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING HOME.

OTHER THAN THAT, I'M DOING GOOD.

CLOSE.

I HAD THE GAMBLE.

UM, SO MY QUESTION WAS IN REGARDS TO THIS AND YOU MIGHT HAVE, AND THEN WE HAVE BIT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU NEED TO TABLE IT AND GET MORE DATA, THAT'S PERFECTLY FINE WITH ME.

UM, I HAD PUBLIC QUESTIONERS.

UM, THE FIRST QUESTION WAS SINCE THE PHOTO CAMERA, THAT'S IN CHANDLER RIGHT NOW.

HOW MANY PHOTO CAMERAS ARE THERE IN TOWN RIGHT NOW? SO THERE ARE, THERE ARE 17 CAMERAS IN THE CITY AND THERE ARE POSITIONED AT 12 DIFFERENT INTERSECTIONS.

SO IF YOU WANT, UM, I DO HAVE A SMALL PRESENTATION.

THAT I CAN GO THROUGH IF, UH, PLEASE, WE GOT YOU UP HERE.

AND THEN AFTER A COMPETITIVE BIDDING PROCESS, WE SELECTED ANOTHER, ANOTHER VENDOR CALLED THE AMERICAN TRAFFIC SOLUTIONS, ALSO KNOWN AS VERA MOBILITY.

YOU PROBABLY NEED SOMEONE TO KEEP IT UP.

COOL.

SO AT ANY POINT, FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS OR JUST PRESS THROUGH IT.

AND THEN ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE AFTERWARDS, I'LL DO MY BEST TO, TO ANSWER.

UM, BUT JUST STARTING AS FAR AS THE, THE PROGRAM ITSELF, UM, FROM THE BEGINNING, THE OVERALL GOAL OF THE PROGRAM WAS TO SHAPE BEHAVIOR, TO INFLUENCE DRIVERS, UH, TO HELP REDUCE COLLISIONS IN OUR CITY.

UH, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THE PHOTO ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM DOES HAVE THAT TYPE OF INFLUENCE.

AND IF IT, IF IT PREVENTS COLLISIONS FROM HAPPENING, UM, OBVIOUSLY THAT'S OUR GOAL, BUT IF COLLISIONS DO HAPPEN, CAN THEY BE MITIGATED UNLESS IT WOULD BE, OR, AND THAT IS ONE OF THE GOALS FROM THE BEGINNING, FROM OUR PHOTO ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM.

UH, WE STARTED THIS PROGRAM BACK IN 2001 WITH, UH, I BELIEVE THERE WERE FOUR INTERSECTIONS AT THE TIME.

AND WE CONTRACTED WITH A VENDOR CALLED RED FLECKS.

AND IN 2007 WE RENEWED THAT CONTRACT.

AND THEN WE ACTUALLY EXPANDED THE PROGRAM UP TO 12 INTERSECTIONS IN 2007.

AND THEN WE WENT INTO ANOTHER CONTRACT WITH RED FLEX AND THAT, THAT CONTRACT ENDED IN 2016.

[00:25:01]

AND WE WENT INTO A FIVE-YEAR CONTRACTS WITH, UH, UM, UH, ATS AND THAT EXPIRES THIS YEAR.

AND THEN THERE WAS A, UH, THERE WAS AN OPTION FOR ANOTHER FIVE-YEAR CONTRACT EXTENSION, WHICH I'LL TOUCH ON IN A SECOND.

SO WE KNOW THAT NATIONALLY THAT ONE OF THE LEADING CAUSES OF, UH, URBAN CRASHES IS RED LIGHT RUNNING.

AND NOT ONLY DID THEY CALL US CRASHES AND COLLISIONS, BUT THEY OFTEN CAUSE DEATH AND SEVERE INJURIES.

AND OVER THE YEARS WE'VE KNOWN THAT STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT THERE HAS BEEN A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN COLLISIONS AT OUR INTERSECTIONS THAT HAVE PHOTO ENFORCEMENT, UH, CAMERAS.

AND WE KNOW AS A PARTNER IN THE PROGRAM THAT IS CERTAINLY BEEN BENEFICIAL, UM, FROM THE POLICE, UH, PER SE, UH, UH, BANNERS POINT AND USING, UH, PHOTO ENFORCEMENT IS LEVERAGING A TECHNOLOGY THAT EXISTS TODAY THAT CAN HELP KEEP OUR ROADWAY SAFE AND DOES HELP KEEP OUR ROADWAY SAFE.

AND IT ALSO SUPPLEMENTS OUR OFFICERS ON THE STREET.

THE PHOTO ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM DOES NOT REPLACE ANY CHANDLER POLICE OFFICERS.

IT AUGMENTS OUR COMPLIMENT BY PROVIDING ESSENTIALLY 24 HOUR COVERAGE AROUND THESE HIGH PRONG COLLISION INTERSECTIONS.

AND IT'S ALSO JUST PART OF THE OVERALL CITY'S TRAFFIC PLAN, WHICH IS USING THE THREE E'S, WHICH IS THE ENFORCEMENT EDUCATION AND ENGINEERING.

SO I SAID, PRESENTLY, THERE ARE 12 INTERSECTIONS AND SOME OF THOSE INTERSECTIONS HAVE TWO CAMERAS.

SO TWO DIFFERENT APPROACHES.

SO ONE MAY BE A NORTH BROWN APPROACH AND ONE MAY BE A WESTBOUND APPROACH, BUT FOR A TOTAL OF 17 CAMERAS.

AND THAT, THAT NUMBER HAS NOT INCREASED SINCE, UH, 2000, UM, FISCAL YEAR OF 2007, 2008.

AND SINCE 2007, 2008, ALL OF THOSE CAMERAS NOT ONLY ARE RED, RIGHT RED LIGHT DETECTORS, BUT THEY ALSO DETECT SPEED AND ISSUE, UH, SPEEDING CITATIONS FOR, UH, UH, UH, UM, SPEEDING VIOLATORS.

AND EACH APPROACH IS CLEARLY MARKED BY SIGNAGE 300 FEET FROM THE APPROACH FROM THE INTERSECTION.

AND NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE SIGNAGE, WHICH IS REQUIRED BY STATUTE, BUT WE ALSO HAVE, UH, RADAR SPEECH FEEDBACK DISPLAY.

SO AS YOU'RE ENTERING THAT APPROACH FROM 300 FEET, THERE'S A SIGN.

AND THEN THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK DISPLAYED THE SHOW EXACTLY HOW FAST YOU'RE GOING AS YOU ENTER THAT INTERSECTION.

SO THERE IS NO ATTEMPT TO HIDE THESE, UH, WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO GIVE PEOPLE WARNING AND ADVANCED, UH, NOTICE THAT THERE IS A OPERATIONAL CAMERA, UH, AHEAD.

SO THESE ARE THE, THE 12 LOCATIONS.

I'LL PLOT THEM ON A MAP IN A SECOND.

AND AGAIN, IT ALSO HIGHLIGHTS, UH, WHICH OF THESE LOCATIONS HAVE, UH, DUAL CAMERAS INHERIT THE ARTISTS SQUATTED ON THE CITY MAP.

SO PRESENTLY, UM, NOT ONLY THIS CHANDLER HAVE A PHOTO ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM, BUT SO TO SCOTTSDALE, UH, MESA CITY, PHOENIX, AND PARADISE VALLEY, THOSE ARE THE CITIES THAT HAVE PHOTO ENFORCEMENT PROGRAMS IN THE VALLEY.

SOURCES OF REVENUE FOR THE CITY AND THE COLUMN ON THE, UH, ON THE RIGHT, THE BLACK COLUMN OF THAT IS, UM, OUR EXPENSES.

IT'S JUST A LITTLE INFORMATION ON OUR FINANCIALS.

SO THE REVENUES VARY FROM YEAR TO YEAR AND SOME YEARS THE, THIS JUST WENT BACK FIVE YEARS AT A SIMPLICITY, BUT WE HAVE THE NUMBERS FROM THE BEGINNING.

UH, BUT SOME YEARS, UH, THE CITY MAKES REVENUE, UH, PROFIT OFF THE PROGRAM.

AND OTHER YEARS, UH, THE CITY DOES NOT, AND IT KIND OF EVENS OUT OVER TIME.

BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THIS CHART, THE, UH, THE GREEN COLUMN, I'M SORRY, THE BLUE COLUMN, UH, REPRESENTS THE REVENUE.

AND THERE'S REALLY THREE SOURCES OF REVENUE ON BEHALF OF THE CITY.

ONE IS, UH, FINES.

SO THE CITY GETS A PERCENTAGE OF, UH, THE FINES THAT ARE COLLECTED IF A AVERAGE RED LIGHT TICKET COSTS, UH, $260.

UM, THE CITY GETS ABOUT 40% OF THAT SHARE.

SO THAT'S AN INCOME FOR THE CITY.

UM, WE ALSO GET A PR, WE ALSO GET FUNDING FROM WHAT A PERSON, IF THEY CHOOSE TO ATTEND, UH, DEFENSIVE DRIVING SCHOOL, UH, EACH TIME THEY ATTEND THAT SCHOOL, UH, THE CITY GETS ANOTHER $65 FROM THE VIOLATOR, UM, WHEN THEY'RE PAYING THEIR SCHOOL, UH, TUITION.

AND THEN THE OTHER SOURCE OF INCOME IS IF A PERSON, UH, IGNORES THE CITATION AND THE MAIL, AND WE ARE COMPELLED TO SEND A PROCESS SERVER TO SERVE THE CITATION.

UH, WE GET REIMBURSED, WE CHARGED BACK, UM, TO THAT PERSON.

I BELIEVE THAT'S ANOTHER $60 THAT WE RECEIVE.

SO THOSE ARE THE THREE

[00:30:01]

SO FOR EVERY L FOR EVERY LEGIBLE, ACTIONABLE CITATION, THAT IS, UH, UH, THAT IS PROVIDED TO US EVERY, I'M SORRY, EVERY ACTIONABLE PHOTO THAT IS PROVIDED TO US FROM THE VENDOR, WE PAY THEM $20 FOR EVERY PHOTO, ACTIONABLE PHOTO.

THESE ARE PHOTOS THAT NOW WE WOULD MOVE FORWARD TO THE PROCESS AND SEND OUT A NOTICE OF VIOLATION.

SO THAT IS A, A, AN EXPENSE WITH, THERE'S ALSO AN EXPENSE FOR RUNNING THE PROGRAM.

UH, BOTH THE COURT AND POLICE DEPARTMENT EACH HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL THAT'S A PAID FULL-TIME, UM, AND FUNDED THROUGH THIS PROGRAM.

SO WE ADMINISTER AND PROCESS ADMINISTER THE PROGRAM.

AND THEN THERE WERE TIMES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR WHERE WE SPEND SOME OF THAT EXCESS REVENUE, OR, UH, WHEN WE'RE IN THE, UH, UM, WHEN WE'RE IN THE BLACK, WE WILL TAKE SOME OF THAT MONEY AND REINVESTED IN THE PROGRAM FOR SAFETY ENHANCEMENTS, WHETHER IT'S NEW SIGNAGE OR POLES, OR, UH, VARIABLE MESSAGING SIGNS OR SPEED TRAILERS.

SO THESE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS WE, WE PURCHASED OVER THE YEARS.

IN FACT, GOING BACK TO ABOUT 2006, UH, WE SPENT CLOSE TO A HUNDRED HALF A HALF, A MILLION DOLLARS, ABOUT $500,000 WORTH OF, UH, OF, OF ENHANCEMENTS THAT WE'VE USED FROM THIS FUND, WHICH IS RESTRICTED JUST FOR, UH, TRAFFIC SAFETY BETWEEN PD AND TRAFFIC ENGINEERING.

SO IT'S IN A RESTRICTED FUND.

AND IF THERE IS EXCESS REVENUE, UH, WE USE THAT REVENUE TO PUT BACK INTO THE SYSTEM TO HELP, UH, AGAIN, KEEP THE ROADWAYS SAFE.

SO TONIGHT, UM, ACTUALLY BE, UH, THURSDAY NIGHT, UH, BUT WHAT'S ON THE, UH, UH, COUNCIL AGENDA IS THE REQUEST WOULD BE FOR COUNCIL THEN TO, UH, APPROVE THE ONE ADDITIONAL FIVE-YEAR CONTRACT EXTENSION WITH ATS.

THEY CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THE PHOTO ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM HERE IN CHARLOTTE.

AND DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION TO FOLLOW UP? NO, I'LL WORK MY WAY ACROSS CHIEF.

CAN YOU, IS IT POSSIBLE YOU CAN GO BACK TO THE MAP WHERE THE, UH, RED, RED CAMERAS OR THE BOTTLE CANS ARE.

UM, THE, THE, CAN YOU IDENTIFY THE AREA THAT YOU SEE MOST OF THE CAM CAMERAS IN? I IS THAT LIKE NORTH THAT'S, NORTH CHANDLER IN WEST TOWN.

PURE SPEAR AROUND MY HOUSE, AND I'M SITTING HERE, BUT THE CAMPUS LOCATED IN WHAT HISTORICALLY ARE HIGH COLLISION INTERSECTIONS.

AND, UM, I'M, I'M WONDERING, CAN THEY PULL THAT MAP BACK UP ON A PRESENTATION? UH, I CAN GO BACK TO A PC PRESENTATION, RIGHT.

A NEW TO ME.

THESE AREAS RIGHT HERE, WOULD YOU IDENTIFY THOSE COMMUNITIES TO BE, YOU KNOW, UM, WHAT DO YOU, WHAT DO YOU PROJECT THE INCOME LEVELS ARE FOR THESE INDIVIDUALS, THESE RESIDENTS THAT LIVE IN THESE AREAS WHERE YOU, WHERE YOU LIKE NORTHWEST CHANNEL, WHAT DO YOU THINK THE INCOME LEVELS ARE FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS? I'VE NO IDEA.

NO IDEA.

UM, DO YOU, DO YOU NOTICE THAT, UM, I'M JUST LOOKING AT THE MAP AND JUST SAYING THAT OUR CAMERAS, YOU GUYS, YOU CAN SEE THAT MOST OF THE CAMERAS ARE ON NORTHWEST CHANDLER, THE FOCUS AREA.

AND THEN I DO SEE A FEW IN THE SOUTH AND THERE'S THREE IN THE SOUTH AREA CAUSE I LIVE BY ONE OF THEM.

UM, SO YOU KNOW, THE TARGETING CONSOLE, CAUSE MAYOR SAID HE ASKED, BUT NEVERTHELESS, UM, I'M JUST NOTICING THIS DISPARITY.

AND THEN HAVE YOU REDONE THE NUMBERS SINCE THIS HAS BEEN PLACED THERE TO SEE IF THESE ARE STILL THE SAME HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS, HAVE YOU SEEN A DECLINE IN THESE AND THESE THINGS GOING DOWN IT'S IT'S PEERS SINCE WE GRIND THE NUMBERS, WE'RE ACTUALLY IN THE PROCESS OF DOING THAT RIGHT NOW, BUT I AM QUITE CERTAIN OF THESE ARE STILL THE HIGH COLLISION LOCATIONS.

AND IF YOU LOOK AT THOSE ROADS, THOSE ARE MAIN ARTERIES AND THERE'S A VERY HIGH VOLUME OF TRAFFIC ON THOSE LOCATIONS.

SO THAT'S HOW THEY WERE IDENTIFIED.

AND THEN MY LAST QUESTION, VICE MAYOR, YOU HAVE SOME QUESTIONS I THINK I CAN YIELD SO YOU CAN ASK THEM.

ALRIGHT, COME ON OVER HERE NEXT, BUT OKAY.

AND SO IF WE'RE NET LOSS 200,000, DOES THE CITY THEN IMPUTE THAT LOSS OR NPU THAT MONEY SO THAT WE CAN THEN RENEW THE CONTRACT AGAIN.

UH, SO MY NEXT QUESTION IS THAT THE REV, WHAT WAS THE REVENUE AMOUNT THAT WE BRING IN, UM, FOR THE, FOR THE CITY, IN TERMS OF THIS AMOUNT, WHAT DO WE BRING IN FOR REVENUE? SO IT'S GOING TO VARY FROM YEAR TO YEAR.

UM, I CAN GIVE LAST YEAR'S EXAMPLE OR THIS YEAR WE'RE NOT QUITE THROUGH THE FISCAL YEAR, BUT WE ARE ANTICIPATING A NET LOSS ON THE PRO ABOUT $200,000.

[00:35:02]

AND THAT'S WHY IT'S A FIVE-YEAR CONTRACT.

SO OVER THE FIVE YEARS, IT CERTAINLY HISTORICALLY HAS EVENED OUT.

SO OVER TIME IT EVENS OUT.

AND THE PRIOR TWO YEARS BEFORE IT WAS A NET INCREASE.

THAT'S ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAVE.

UM, LANDO THEN WE'LL WORK OUR WAY BACK.

THANKS.

THANKS MAYOR.

SO, SO CHIEF, UM, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.

CAUSE I REMEMBER WE FIRST DID THIS YEARS AGO, THEY NEED A POLICE OFFICER TO VERIFY THE INCIDENT, CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT.

WE HAVE A SWORN OFFICER.

UM, ONCE THE FLASH GOES OFF, ESSENTIALLY THE PROCESS, UM, I GUESS MY QUESTION IS HE GOES LIKE THIS.

SO YES, EVERY CITATION BEFORE IT IS SENT OUT IS REVIEWED AND VERIFIED BY A CHANDLER POLICE OFFICER.

IF THAT ALSO DOESN'T REVIEW IT, IT DOESN'T HAPPEN.

RIGHT? THAT IS CORRECT.

SO WHY WE, WHY ARE THEY CHARGING US 20 BUCKS A REVIEW IT WELL, BECAUSE THEY SHOULD BE GIVING IT FOR US FOR FREE.

I'M SORRY.

THEY SHOULD BE GIVING US THE PHOTO FOR FREE.

OTHERWISE THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING AND WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING.

THAT WAS MY QUESTION I HAD TO 15, 20 YEARS AGO.

I RECALL I READ THE MINUTES ON IT.

SO I'M STILL, OBVIOUSLY WE HAVEN'T FIXED THE CHIEF.

WELL WE NEED TO LOOK.

I, THE OTHER THING IS I DON'T WANT TO DWELL ON THE EXPENSE I NEVER DID AND I NEVER WILL.

WHAT I WANT TO DWELL ON IS THE SAFETY.

IF THIS PROVES US TO BE SAFE, THEN IT'S ONE TOOL IN OUR TOOLBOX TO USE.

BUT BY THE SAME TOKEN, UH, SO I NEED TO SEE THOSE FACTS AND FIGURES.

I LIKE TO SEE THOSE.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN BY PUTTING THAT TRAFFIC LIGHT HERE? WHAT, WHAT, WHAT DOES IT SAY? THE LIES AND COSTS AND INSURANCE, ALL THOSE THINGS.

I KNOW YOU HAD THE DATA, BUT I'M STILL GOING TO HANG DOWN THIS 20 BUCKS.

I BELIEVE THEY SHOULDN'T BE DOING THAT BECAUSE AGAIN, THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING AND THEY SHOULD BE GIVING US THAT PHOTO AS A COST OF THEM DOING BUSINESS AND STILL PAYING FOR THE OFFICER'S TIME AND ENERGY TO DO THAT.

OTHERWISE WE DON'T HAVE A PROGRAM GUYS, SO I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED WITH THAT.

SO MAYBE WE NEED TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT.

AND I DO WANT TO SEE THE SAFETY STATISTICS ON THIS ISSUE.

OH, I VOTED FOR THIS EVERY TIME AS YOU KNOW, PRETTY CLEAR RECORD, BUT I'M A LITTLE BIT MORE CONCERNED THAT WE REALLY HAVE FIXED THAT ONE ELEMENT AND SOME OF THE ACTION THAT WAS TAKEN AFTER YOU SPOKE TO THIS, UH, IN 2008, I BELIEVE WAS THAT WE WERE PAYING THE, I BELIEVE IT WAS 15 OR $16 AT THE TIME FOR EVERY, EVERY CLICK ESSENTIALLY.

AND SOME OF THOSE ARE NOT LEGIBLE AND SOME OF THAT THEY'RE NOT USABLE.

SO WE ARE ONLY BUILT FOR THE ACTIONABLE CITATIONS.

SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CAME ABOUT, UH, AFTER YOU BROUGHT THAT UP NUMBER NOW LET'S TAKE THE NEXT STEP AND FIGURE THAT OUT.

I WILL CONVEY THAT MESSAGE TO THE VENDOR.

UM, ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS SIDE? OKAY.

I'VE GOT TWO QUESTIONS CHIEF, IN YOUR OPINION.

AND I, IS THIS MAKE OUR CITY SAFER? YEAH.

UH, I BELIEVE WITHOUT A DOUBT, IT MAKES OUR CITY SAFER.

AND SECOND QUESTION.

UM, AND I, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ANSWER IS.

S BUT WOULD WE BE USING THE SAME AMOUNT OF, UH, SWANS, UH, MORE OR LESS WITHOUT THIS PROGRAM? DOES THIS HELP US IN TERMS OF OFFICER MANAGEMENT AND NUMBERS MANAGEMENT OR, OR IS THERE NO IMPACT IN TERMS OF THE AMOUNT OF, OF ALL, IF THIS GOES AWAY, WILL IT HAVE ANY IMPACT ON OUR, ON OUR, ON OUR NEED FOR OFFICERS? AGAIN, IT'S, IF IT GOES AWAY, THERE'LL BE NO MORE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT BY OUR OFFICERS AT ANY OF THESE INTERSECTIONS.

AND THERE ARE PRESENTLY.

SO IF THIS PROGRAM GOES AWAY, NO ONE IS MONITORING THOSE LOCATIONS 24 SEVEN.

THAT IT HAS INFLUENCE ON DRIVERS BEHAVIOR WHEN THEY'RE APPROACHING, AT LEAST THAT INTERSECT MAY NOT BE SUSTAINABLE, BUT WHEN THEY KNOW THEY'RE APPROACHING THAT INTERSECTION BEHAVIOR CHANGES.

SO IF WE DID GET SOME CALLS FROM NEIGHBORS SAYING, THIS INTERSECTION IS CRAZY, WE NEED TO HAVE SOME OFFICERS THERE TO COMPLY WITH THAT.

WE WOULD HAVE TO, IF, IF WOULD CHANGE POTENTIALLY THE MODEL, IF WE WERE FINDING OURSELVES HAVING TO ISSUE CITATIONS, IF THAT WAS AN OPTION, CORRECT.

AGAIN, IT WOULD CHANGE TWO THINGS.

UH, UH, I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE MODEL IS THE SAME MODEL WE HAVE.

NOW.

WE HAVE LIMITED AMOUNT OF OFFICERS WHEN WE CAN GET TO IT.

WE CAN GET TO IT, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S A PROACTIVE TYPE EVENT WHERE SOME OF THE CALLS AND COMPLAINS THAT WE SEND OFFICERS THERE.

UM, WE HAVE FEWER TRAFFIC OFFICERS NOW THAN WE DID BACK WHEN THIS INITIATED ACTUALLY PROBABLY BACK IN 2008.

AND, UH, THE MAIN, THE MAIN BENEFIT OF THIS PROGRAM IS THE INFLUENCE AND SHAPING OF BEHAVIOR.

AND THAT'S HARD TO MEASURE, UH, BUT I'M CONFIDENT BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE

[00:40:01]

UM, THANK YOU.

UM, OVER ON THE SIDE, ANY QUESTIONS VESPER, THERE'S THE LIGHT.

THANKS.

THANKS CHIEF.

FOR THE PRESENTATION, I'VE GOT A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS AND WE'LL PROBABLY REVIEW THOSE ON, ON THURSDAY.

UM, I DIDN'T THINK WE WERE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT IT TONIGHT ON THE STUDY SESSION.

ONE THING I HAVE ASKED JOSH FOR A NUMBER OF DATA POINTS AS IT RELATES TO THIS PROCESS.

SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SAFETY AND INTERSECTIONS.

I WANT TO LOOK BACK AND SAY, OKAY, WHAT DID WE IMPROVE? I'M ALSO INTERESTED TO KNOW IF THIS IS A DERELICTION OF THE, UM, THE INTERSECTION ITSELF.

FOR EXAMPLE, WE JUST REDID ALMOST SCHOOL AND CHANDLER DRIVE AND THEIR NORTH PART OF, UH, OF OUR CITY.

IF THAT'S MORE OF A FUNCTION OF WHY THESE ACCIDENTS ARE HAPPENING VERSUS WHETHER OR NOT THERE'S RED LIGHT CAMERAS OR NOT, THERE'S MULTITUDE OF DATA POINTS WHERE THE, YOU, THE, THE POSITION OF A, UH, THE TIMING BETWEEN THE RED TO GREEN, IF THAT'S DELAYED, THAT ALSO IMPROVES THE SAFETY OF INTERSECTION.

SO, UM, WE PAY THE $500,000 A YEAR, REGARDLESS OF WHAT, HOW MANY PICTURES ARE TAKEN.

UM, AND WE ALSO PAY 20 AND WE PAY 60 AND WE PAY, UM, 265 AND THE LIST GOES ON AS IT RELATES TO FINDING SOMEBODY FOR MAKING A MISTAKE.

UM, I WANT OUR STREETS TO BE SAFE.

IF THIS FREES UP A, A, A POLICE OFFICER FROM NOT HAVING TO TRACK THESE ANYMORE, IT PUTS THEM ON TRAFFIC.

THAT I'M ALL FOR THAT AS WELL.

IT CREATES THAT PERSONAL TOUCH, BUT I'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THIS ON, ON, UH, UM, ON THURSDAY, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE NUMBER IS ON HOW MANY FLASHES, THAT'S SOMETHING NEW, BUT I'VE GIVEN YOU ALL THIS INFORMATION ALREADY.

I THINK JOSH AND WE'LL JUST CIRCLE UP ON THURSDAY.

WELL, JUST THIS ONE.

I JUST WANT TO ASK A QUESTION, BUT SHE, OH, HOW MANY HOURS DOES IT TAKE FOR ANY, ANY OF THE POLICE OFFICERS? HOW MANY HOURS, HOW MANY THAT'S THAT'S DUTY? HOW MANY HOURS ARE WE TYING UP, LOOKING AT EACH PHOTO, VERIFYING GOING THROUGH THIS WHOLE, THIS PROCESS, HOW MANY HOURS ARE WE, HOW, HOW MANY HOURS ARE WE SPENDING IN THIS, IN THIS AREA? IT'S A, IT'S, IT'S SOMETHING THAT THE OFFICER DOES EVERY SINGLE DAY.

SO EVERY SINGLE DAY THEY RECEIVE INFORMATION FROM, FROM ATS AND, UH, OUR, OUR DESIRE.

AND WE'VE BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL IS THAT, UH, WE'RE ABLE TO TURN THAT AROUND DAILY.

SO WE DON'T HAVE A LARGE QUEUE OF TICKETS WAITING LIKE OTHER CITIES DO.

SO THE FACT THAT WE'RE ABLE TO ADDRESS IT, UM, IT MAKES THE PROCESS AND THE TURNAROUND QUICKER.

UH, BUT ESSENTIALLY IT'S A FULL-TIME JOB.

AND LASTLY, HOW MANY TICKETS, HOW MANY, HOW MANY OF THESE THINGS ARE YOU PROCESSING PER DAY? UM, I DON'T HAVE THE NUMBER, BUT I KNOW LAST YEAR WE, THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PROCESSING A CITATION BECAUSE SOME OF THESE, WHY YOU WANT AN OFFICER LOOKING AT IT, UM, THERE COULD BE ISSUES WITH THE PHOTO.

UH, IT MAY NOT, IT COULD BE A VARIABLE THINGS WHERE YOU WANT THE EYES OF A POLICE OFFICER LOOKING AT IT.

SO NOT ALL OF THOSE INITIAL PHOTOS BECOME CITATIONS.

THAT'S PART OF THE BEDDING PROCESS.

UM, SO I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT NUMBER THAT THEY GO THROUGH.

UH, BUT LAST YEAR WE, WE SHOULD, UH, COLLECT THE, BE IN THE CITY ABOUT 23,000 CITATIONS AND OVERALL, AND, UH, JUST OVER HALF OF THOSE, JUST A LITTLE OVER HALF OF THOSE WERE GENERATED THROUGH PHOTO ENFORCEMENT THROUGH THE PROGRAM.

AND, AND YOU DON'T KNOW THE, HOW MANY OF THOSE WOULD ACTUALLY TURNED OVER INTO A CITATION OR NO, THOSE ARE, THOSE ARE CITATIONS AND THOSE AREN'T CITATIONS.

SO THERE WAS 23 SITES, 23,000 CITATIONS ISSUE, CITYWIDE, CITYWIDE BY OFFICERS AND SOME BY TECHNOLOGY.

AND SO JUST OVER HALF OF THOSE WERE ISSUED AS A RESULT OF THE PHOTO PROGRAM, AND YOU'RE GONNA GET US THE NUMBER ON HOW MANY BAD PHOTOS THERE COULD HAVE BEEN ISSUED OUT.

I, I, I CAN GET THAT.

I DON'T, I DON'T HAVE THAT NOW, BUT THAT NO, THAT'S NO, THAT'S, THAT'S FINE.

THAT'S ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAVE, UH, MAYOR.

THAT'S NOT TRUE.

UM, COUNCIL MEMBER RO UH, THANK YOU, MAYOR.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION, CHIEF.

UM, UM, I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THIS ON THURSDAY.

I, I AM CURIOUS ABOUT, UH, HOW MANY OF THE VIOLATIONS ARE RED LIGHT VIOLATIONS OR SOMEONE DISREGARDED THE INTERSECTION OR ACCIDENTALLY RAN THROUGH THE INTERSECTION OR INADVERTENTLY OR ON PURPOSE OR WHATEVER, BUT, UH, VERSUS HOW MANY WERE SPEEDING.

SO I'D LIKE TO KNOW THE TOTAL OR, YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH IT WAS PER MONTH OR PER YEAR IF I COULD GET THAT HISTORY ON THURSDAY.

THE ABILITY TO ENFORCE DISTRACTED DRIVERS WITH CELL PHONE USE, ET CETERA.

HEY, WHILE WE'RE ASKING YOU QUESTIONS, I'VE GOT ONE MORE TOO.

I, I DO KNOW THIS YEAR WITH THE, UM, THE KNOW,

[00:45:01]

UM, IS IT TOO EARLY, OR DO WE HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON THAT COMPARED TO HISTORICAL TO SEE OUR NUMBERS GOING DOWN BECAUSE OF THE, THE BAN ON TEXTING WHILE DRIVING AND OR WHAT NUMBER IS GOING DOWN THE, IN TERMS OF PEOPLE BURNING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS? UM, BECAUSE, UH, BECAUSE THAT OTHER TOOL TOOLS NOW AVAILABLE TO US, RIGHT, OR AT LEAST THE, I KNOW WE CAN ENFORCE IT, BUT THAT'S ALSO MORE OF AN EDUCATION PIECE, BUT I AM CURIOUS IF, IF THAT IS HAVING ANY IMPACT.

IT'S DIFFICULT TO MEASURE THAT BECAUSE THE PHOTO IS TAKEN AND THE PERSON'S ON THE PHONE.

THAT'S ONE THING, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE WE ACTUALLY TRACK THAT.

TO ME IT WOULD BE OUR NUMBERS ARE WE, WILL, WE SEE A DECREASE IN NUMBERS BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE PAYING MORE ATTENTION TO DRIVING RATHER THAN I WOULD THINK WE NEED SOME MORE TIME.

THE FORCEMENT DIDN'T BEGIN UNTIL JANUARY OF THIS YEAR.

SO WE'RE REALLY JUST A QUARTER INTO IT.

SO I THINK, UH, WE NEED AT LEAST A YEAR OR A COUPLE OF YEARS OF DATA.

THAT'S KIND OF MY THOUGHT, BUT I THOUGHT I'D ASK ANYWAY.
