It may be possible to completely ignore a Glendale ticket.
1. If your "ticket" does not have the Superior Court's name
and address on it, it is a fake ticket, which I call a "Snitch Ticket."
For more
details about Snitch Tickets, see the Snitch Ticket section at the top
of the Your
Ticket page.
2. The LA
County Superior Court does not report ignored
tickets to the DMV. More info is in "Countywide
Information," which is Docs Set # 2 on the LA County Documents
page.

[ ] indicates a footnote.
[1] Totals are as provided by the City.
[2] YTD = Year-to-date total.
[3] Un-used columns are to allow for
later expansion of City's system.
[4] Any figures in red type
(or, if you are looking at this table in black and white, the upper
figure when there are two or more figures in a cell) are what RedFlex
calls
Total Violations, or all incidents recorded by
the cameras, and due to time limitations may have been posted
here only for selected months or locations.
If there is sufficient public interest, the remaining months will be
posted. The figures in black
type are what RedFlex calls Notices Printed, and represent the
sum of genuine citations issued (those filed with the court) plus
any Nominations mailed ( not
filed with the court, a.k.a. Snitch
Tickets).
[5] Data is from City staff reports noted
above. We will ask the City why in July and August 2008 it does
not agree with the
Redflex reports.
[6] The camera enforcement is believed to be on
traffic on the first-named street, but the direction of
enforcement (north, south, east, west, thru, left, right) is not yet
available.
[7] Includes
enforcement of posted "no turn on red" signs.

2009
Contract Renewal
The new 10+ year
RedFlex contract renewal the city council approved in
Nov. 2009
reduced the monthly rent for
each of the five existing cameras to $5500, from the previous
$6420. It also removed the cost neutrality clause. The staff
report said that the new rate would save the City $55,200 per
year.

Contract, 2007 (Pt. 1)

The 2009
Contract, w/o Exh. C
Exh.
C
to
2009
Contract
The $11.5 million no-bid contract renewal
gave
away a lot of money.
One
example: Under its terms the City will pay $6300 per
month for up to 10 newly installed cameras, for up to 10-1/2
years.
Had the council negotiated the same rate as the City of Burlingame
($5870), the City could have saved $546,100 over the 10+
years.
More examples - the rent for existing cameras:
The City
agreed to pay $5500 per month
for its existing cameras.
Had the council
negotiated a $4000 rent like that in the 2008 contract
of the
City of Santa Clarita, it could have saved an
additional $1500
per
camera per month, or $952,500 for the five cameras over 10+ years.
Or, had the council negotiated a $2225 fee like that in the 2009 contract of the
City of Solana Beach, it could have saved $1,965,000.
Or, had the council negotiated a $2500 fee like
that in the 2009
contract of the City of Davis, it could have saved
$1,800,000.
This list of
contracts and amendments may not be up-to-date - there could be a
contract or amendment later than the ones listed above.

"Late Time" Graphs
The
City provided bar graphs of Late Times, etcetera, for all five cameras.
These graphs track violations
recorded, not tickets issued.
Where there is a
large number of long Late Time violations in a curb lane,
it is believed to indicate heavy ticketing on right turns.
(The curb lane will be the lane with the highest lane number.)
The
picture above is an example from another city.

The
(Former) Chief - Pig, or Hog?
Randy G. Adams was the Glendale police
chief
in 2007, and approved the installation of Glendale's cameras.
Then he
retired from the GPD, and in 2009 was hired to be the new chief in the
(now infamous) City of Bell, California,
at a salary of $457,000. Here is one of the emails he wrote to
staff at Bell, during the hiring process:
"I am looking forward to seeing you and
taking all of Bell's money."
Adams' lawyer has said that Adams was
joking when wrote
that passage. But consider one of the emails City staff
(Angela Spaccia) wrote to him:
"We have crafted our agreements carefully so
we do not draw attention to our pay. The
word Pay Period is used and not defined
in order to protect you from someone taking the time to add up your
salary."
Per this LA
Weekly
article, as of Dec. 2011 Adams had not been charged with
any crime.

Program
Closed 2-24-12
On Mar. 13, 2012 the City revealed that
it has closed the program, and will not prosecute existing
tickets. Here is their press release:
