City of Solana Beach Documents
(and Information)

  Solana Beach, pop. 14,000, is on the coast 15 miles north of San Diego.

The City signed a contract with RedFlex on Dec. 30, 2003, and began issuing warning tickets in Oct. 2004.

Some of Solana Beach's tickets can 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, and Set # 1, below.

Ticket Counts

Total Violations Recorded, Notices Printed, and Citations Issued [4]

New 11-14-05

On Nov. 12, 2005 the city clerk's office supplied copies of RedFlex invoices containing monthly camera-by-camera totals of Citations Issued (filed with the court).  Those totals were entered into the table, below, as "Total Citations Issued per Invoices."  Until 2009 the City paid $89 for each cite issued, up to 179 cites per camera per month, and $80 each for additional cites.
(Since the 2009 contract amendment the City has paid a flat rate per month regardless of how many tickets are issued.)

Snitch Tickets

The City's use of Nominations (a.k.a. Snitch Tickets) probably explains,
(A)  the discrepancy between the figures for Notices Printed and Total Cites Issued (filed with the court), and
(B)  the month-to-month overlap in the serial numbers.

See the table's footnotes for further details.

Official Tabulations, 2004 - 2010

[  ] 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]  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 Nominations mailed (not filed with the court, a.k.a. Snitch Tickets).   Figures in blue type (or, if you are looking at this table in black and white, in italic type) are total Cites Issued (filed with the court), per RedFlex's monthly invoices to the City.

[5]  Data for these months has not been requested.
[6]  The camera enforcement is on traffic on the first-named street, but the direction of enforcement (north, south, east, west, thru, left) is not yet available.
[7]  Data was requested but not received.
