Vote No on Sheila Kuehl
Do you live in LA County? Was Zev
Yaroslavsky your County Supervisor? (He
represented the Third District, which includes the
central and western San Fernando Valley, Malibu, Santa
Monica, Venice, Beverly Hills, the City of West
Hollywood, and part of Hollywood.)
Zev "termed out," and in the Nov.
2014 election Sheila Kuehl won the race to succeed him,
by a narrow margin.
Sheila "Kuehl Cams" Kuehl, in 2007
During her career in the California
Legislature, Kuehl made three attempts to pass bills to allow
the use of automated speed enforcement (photo radar) in
California.
As an LA County Supervisor,
she has a seat on the MTA/Metro board and she will be
a vote to continue and expand Metro's huge (101
cameras, so far) red light camera system.
In 2016 she voted to put an additional LA County-wide
sales tax, to go to Metro, on the Nov. 2016 ballot -
and it passed. (See Measure M on
the Action/Legis page, for more about that tax.)
Kuehl may be up for re-election in
Nov. 2022.

Del Mar Documents
(and Information)
Del Mar, pop. 5000, is on the coast 15 miles
north of downtown San Diego.
It may be possible to completely
ignore a Del Mar ticket !
If your "ticket" does not have the Superior Court's name
and address on it, it is a fake ticket, which I call a
"Snitch Ticket." For more details about Snitch
Tickets, see the Snitch Ticket section at the top of the
Your Ticket page.

[1] Totals are as provided by the City.
[2] These annual totals, or annual
projections, are by highwayrobbery.net.
[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 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:
5-26-20.
[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.
[7] Includes enforcement of posted "no turn
on red" signs.

reports required, beginning with 2013, by CVC

following year. Also see Set # 4, below.

received from the Court and the City. For
more info about program finances, see Set # 3,

2017. The June 2017 figures shown above
are the difference between the official annual
total and the totals of the other 11 months.

"Late Time"
Graphs
The City provided bar graphs of Late
Times, etcetera, for all of its cameras.
These graphs track violations recorded, not tickets
issued.
Where there is a large number of long Late Time
violations in a curb lane, it is believed to indicate
heavy ticketing on right turns.
(The curb lane will be the lane with the highest lane
number.)
The picture above is an example from another
city.

The Contract
Agenda
and Minutes of 2003 Public Hearing
2003
Contract
2009
Amendment
The 2009 Amendment extended the
contract to June 2016. The City can cancel before
then, but it must give notice one year ahead of
time.
Invoices
received in June 2013 showed that the City is paying
$1578 per camera.
U-T Editorial
On Oct. 10, 2013, several days before the hearing
scheduled for the city council in Poway to consider
their staff's recommendation
to remove the cameras from that City, the Union-Tribune
published an editorial
which recommended:
"Let’s eliminate every trace of this bad civic
memory.
And to city leaders in Oceanside, Vista, Encinitas,
Solana Beach and Del Mar — it’s time to do likewise.
The cameras are simply not doing the intended job."
Sept. 15 2014: Discussion about Quitting
A June 2014 article
said the City was considering closing the program.

Staff
Report for Sept. 15 Meeting
At the meeting the council was skeptical about the
claimed safety gains but nevertheless voted to continue
the program. During the meeting staff showed a
slide indicating that 92% of the tickets have been going
to visitors.

Opinion
May 2016: More Discussion about
Quitting
The contract was set to
expire the next month and the staff recommendation
was to renew for another year, but at their May 16,
2016 meeting the council put off making a decision
until the Finance Committee (two members of the
council) could conduct a review of the program.
Article
In June 2016 the City
signed a contract
amendment, to allow the program to continue
month-to-month pending the Finance Committee review.
In May 2017 the City sent
RedFlex a letter allowing the program to continue
month-to-month until June 21, 2018.
In June 2019 the City sent
RedFlex a letter
allowing the program to continue month-to-month
until June 2020.
Sept. 2019: New Three to
Five-Year Contract
On Sept. 30, 2019 staff
recommended and the council agreed
(unanimously, without discussion) to a new
contract for 3 years plus two 1-year
extensions, which will occur automatically unless
the City objects. The contract is cancellable
without penalty after 30-days notice.
The monthly rent per camera is $1577 plus an annual
cost-of-living adjustment.
This listing of
contracts and amendments was up-to-date as of
Jan. 2020.
