In the City's tables of ticket counts, Violations Captured is believed to represent total incidents photographed by the camera (including during any warning period), and Citations Printed is believed to represent the sum of any warning notices mailed, genuine citations issued (those filed with the court), plus any Nominations mailed (not filed with the court, a.k.a. Snitch/phishing/fake Tickets).

The Contract, Etc.

2006 Contract

At the Council meeting of Oct. 25, 2011, they  voted 5 - 2 (nays:  Davis and MacArthur) to approve a 5-year renewal of the contract.

2011 Staff Report and Contract Renewal

The council threw away $2 million. Eight Redflex customers in SoCal are paying below $3000 per month for their cameras (see FAQ # 17), yet Riverside agreed to pay much more ($3850) despite offering the vendor far better economies of scale than in any other local city. (Usually, when you buy more of a product, you get a better price.)

The waste of the $2 million is doubly disappointing, because it is not even being put into the local economy. The money will be permanently gone, sent to an Australian company with offices in Arizona.

The council had been told individually, in writing, about the better deals negotiated by the other cities. Their action at the Oct. 25, 2011 meeting should have been to send staff back to the negotiating table.  Apparently though, since they have over $400 million cash in the bank, $2 million is not enough to bother about.

They also tried to remove cost neutrality, but failed.  While the contract amendment mentions that cost neutrality is to be removed, they overlooked the following clauses in Exhibit D of the amended contract.

 4(b)  Payment will only be made by Customer up to the amount of cash received by Customer from the County through the collection of red light citations up to the amount currently due.
4(c)  Customer to open special revenue account and payments to Redflex will come only from the available balance in that account up to the amount currently due, including any unpaid prior invoiced amounts.
4(e)  Except where a balance remains unpaid due to a deficit in tthe gross cash received as described herein, Customer agrees to pay Redflex within thirty (30) days after the invoice is received.

Please note that there could be a contract or amendment later than the one listed above.
