Some of San Leandro's tickets can
possibly be
ignored.
If your "ticket" does not have the Superior Court's name and
address on it, it is what I call a "Snitch Ticket." For more
details, see the Snitch Ticket
section
on the Your Ticket page.
If you have a San Leandro red light camera ticket, be sure to look at the Countywide Information, on the Oakland 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] Except where noted otherwise, the figures given in the table are for the single calendar month indicated. 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] Monthly data was requested on 9-18-10 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 (east, or west) has not yet been confirmed.
[7] Includes enforcement of posted "no turn on red" signs.
[8] From official report posted on City's website - see link in Docs Set # 4, below.
[10] The title bar has been repeated solely for the convenience of the reader - there is no difference between it and the one at the top of the table.
"Late Time" Graphs
The City has refused to provide bar graphs for its cameras.

The Contracts

Contract (signed)
2011 Staff Report
2011 Minutes
On Sept. 6, 2005 the city
council gave preliminary approval to a contract with RedFlex, for
cameras at five intersections. The contract included an illegal "cost
neutrality" clause, whereby the city would not have to pay RedFlex
the full rent if fine revenue was insufficient to cover the
rent. See Subsection B. of Defect # 10.
The staff report prepared for the Sept. 6 council meeting also
contained this remarkable sentence:
"Conclusion. Although San Leandro has not yet experienced a
serious problem with traffic collisions directly related
to red light violations, the city is continuing to experience an
increase in the overall amount of traffic flow throughout the
community."
2011: New Contract
On Apr. 18, 2011 the city
council heard public comments from four San Leandro residents who
questioned the use of the cameras and none who supported the cameras
(see Staff Report and Minutes, above), then voted 4 - 3 (ayes:
Prola, Starosciak, Reed, Souza) to accept a new 8-year contact under
which the City
will pay
$5200 monthly
rent per camera for five of the six existing cameras. One camera
is to be removed. Cost neutrality was replaced by "financial
feasibility" - see Section 7.2 of the new contract.
They paid way too much.
Nor did the city council need to agree to pay $6300 for new cameras. A close-by example: Burlingame paid only $5870. Had the City negotiated to obtain the (optional) five new cameras for the same rate as Burlingame, it could have saved $206,000 over eight years.
Thus, the city council gave away $1.2 million of City money, just because it failed to negotiate hard on the rent.
There is another problem with the contract. It contains no escape clause should a future city council wish to terminate the contract, or if the voters terminate the contract via initiative. A complete contract will include a formula by which the cost of such a "for convenience" termination is to be calculated. For an example of such a formula, see Section 6.2 in Victorville's original contract (available on the Victorville Documents page).
This list of
contracts and amendments may not be up-to-date - there could be a
contract or amendment later than the one listed above.
