If you
haven't already done so, please read the Laguna Woods section on
the Camera Towns page City of Laguna Woods Documents Be sure to read the "Countywide Information," which is Docs Set # 6 on the Santa Ana Documents page. Total Violations
Recorded, Notices Printed [4] New 12-3-05, updated
1-24-12
This table
made by highwayrobbery.net, using official documents obtained under the
California Public Records Act.
Official reports, 2005 - 2010 Official reports, 2010 - 2011 [ ] 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 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] Month-by-month data has been requested but
has not yet been received.
[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. Laguna Woods Docs Set # 2 The Contract & Amendments The
original
contract
signed
in
2005
included
an
illegal "cost neutrality"
clause, whereby the city did not have to pay RedFlex
the full rent if there weren't enough fines to cover the cost. See Subsection B. of Defect # 10. In 2008 a Fullerton defendant got an appellate court decision saying that Fullerton's cost-neutral contract violated Section 21455.5(g) and that the trial court erred in admitting evidence from the camera. In Jan. 2010 the Laguna Woods city council voted to remove the cost-neutral clause from their contract. In June 2011 the city negotiated a lower per-camera rent ($4000 v. $5000 previously) and extended the contract six months. The amended contract specifically excluded right turn enforcement at Gate 12. In Dec. 2011 the city negotiated an even lower rent of $3000, extended the term to June 2013 with the right to terminate the contract on 45 days notice, penalty free, but removed the exclusion of right turn enforcement at Gate 12. 2005
Contract 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. Laguna Woods Docs Set # 3 The City provided bar graphs
of Late Times, etcetera, for all of its cameras. Bar graphs are available for more than forty
other cities - see the list
in the expanded version of Defect # 9. Laguna Woods Docs Set # 4 I was not able to find red light camera program info on either the OC Sheriff's or the City's website. Laguna Woods Docs Set # 5
