RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council authorize an agreement with Redflex Traffic Systems, Inc. of Scottsdale, Arizona. BACKGROUND The City of Elgin has seen an increase in serious injuries relating to traffic crashes over the past several years at several heavily traveled intersections. The police department has initiated numerous directed enforcement activities at these notoriously hazardous intersections with some short term success. We feel that taking advantage of recent legislation which now has allowed communities in Illinois to enact local ordinances to implement an automated traffic enforcement system in order to monitor motorist compliance with traffic control signals at intersections (625 ILCS 5/11-208.6) should have more of a long term impact. Redflex Traffic Systems has been in operation since the mid 1980's and has successfully partnered with cities like Chicago, El Paso, Albuquerque and Springfield, Ohio. Through their extensive experience in partnering with municipal entities, Redflex understands the importance of community support in moving forward with a red light camera enforcement program and recognizes that poor implementation and untested technologies can reduce public confidence and public safety. Redflex is the largest and longest red light camera vendor in the State of Illinois, operating Chicago's program since November 2003. Initially, the police depaannent is proposing photo enforcement at the following City of Elgin approaches, based upon the results of the feasibility study: Big Timber & McLean Blvd.(EB & Photo Enforcement Program August 7, 2008 Page 2 WB), southbound Dundee Avenue at Summit Street, and westbound Kimball at State Street. Redflex staff will install redlight camera systems at these approaches. All equipment will remain property of Redflex and they will be responsible for any and all maintenance of the system. COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None FINANCIAL IMPACT Redflex Traffic Systems incurs all of the associated costs of installation and maintenance of the red light systems. Redflex charges a fixed fee of $4,395 per month per designated approach. These fees will be paid using the fines collected from the cited violators. In the event insufficient funds are collected during the month, the remaining charges will be carried over into the next month. Per the agreement, the City of Elgin will only be responsible for the payment of fees with funds collected from fines the system itself generates. LEGAL IMPACT None ALTERNATIVES 1. The City Council may choose to authorize the agreement with Redflex Traffic Systems for a Photo Enforcement System. 2. The City Council may choose not to authorize the agreement and continue traditional methods of red light traffic enforcement. Respectfully submitted for Council consideration.
