Elk Grove Documents

Some of Elk Grove'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.

Do you live in Alameda County or the North end of Santa Clara County - State Sen. Ellen Corbett's former District?

In late 2014 Sen. Corbett termed out, and was replaced by this person

Wieckowski, Author of the anti-motorist bills SB 1 and AB 666

who will be running for re-election to the State Senate in 2022 if his current run for Alameda County Supervisor doesn't work out.

In March 2020 please don't vote for him for Supervisor.

Send him back home to his bankruptcy law practice.

As of 2019 he still is in the State Legislature in Sacramento and was the author of SB 246 of 2019 (had it passed it would have added a 10% tax to each barrel of oil).
In 2017 he was co-author of SB 1 which raised gas tax and car registration fees beginning Nov. 2017 and which was the subject of an attempted repeal, by Prop. 6 on the Nov. 2018 ballot.
In 2013 he was the author of AB 666 which - had it passed - would have increased the number of red light camera tickets.
Before reaching the Legislature he was a member of the Fremont City Council, and during his time on the council he approved two extensions of Fremont's contract with RedFlex: He was the maker of the 2005 motion to extend the contract to 2010, and in 2010 he made the motion to extend the contract to June 2017.

Mickey Mouse Tickets - Mostly Right Turns & Most Go to Visitors

Official reports show that in 2013, 94% of the City's tickets were for right turns, and that the figure was 93% in 2017. Those are the highest percentages of right turn tickets in the State of California.

In May 2016 a report prepared by RedFlex for another client disclosed that 69% of Elk Grove's tickets go to visitors.

"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 - Paying Too Much, For Too Long - Until 2014

Jan. 2007 Proposal
Jan. 2007 Proposal: Clearer Copy of Pg. 112
May 2007 Five-Year Contract, and Business Rules
Dec. 2011 "First" Amendment (24-Month Extension)
Oct. 2011/Dec. 2011 "Second" Amendment (Agreement to Indemnify)

In the Dec. 2011 "First"Amendment the City agreed to extend the program for 24 months beyond the May 2012 expiration date of the original contract and to continue paying $5870 for each camera each month - while many other cities were paying $3000 or less (see FAQ # 17). As a result, the City paid at least $413,000 too much over the added 24 months, compared to a $3000 target price. The minutes of the Dec. 2011 city council meeting during which the Amendment was approved show that it was agreed to without any discussion by the council.

The 24-month extension could have become a 36-month extension because Section 7.2 of the Amendment, which estimated a $50,000 to $80,000 per camera penalty the City would have to pay for Termination Without Cause, also included this:

"A decision by the City to not renew the Term under the same or substantially similar terms and conditions contained in this Amendment prior to expiration of the thirty-six (36) month period described in this Provision shall be considered Termination Without Cause."

Thus, in order to avoid a stiff penalty, the City could have been required to keep the cameras for 12 more months after the end of the 24-month extension. Over that combined (36-month) extension, the City would have paid $620,000 too much.

Invoices and payment vouchers obtained from the City in June 2013 and Jan. 2014 revealed that the City was paying $5870 per camera for five cameras.

Three Year Extension

At the city council meeting of Feb. 26, 2014 the city council considered a staff recommendation to extend the program for another five years, and put the decision off, to the meeting of Mar. 26.

At the Mar. 26 meeting they reviewed a staff report and voted to continue the program for another three years (with the option of two additional extensions of one year each); however, after Dec. 2014 they are able to cancel on a month's notice, without penalty (per section 7.2 of the 2011 "First" Amendment).

Article

During the three to five years the rent will be reduced, gradually, according to this table included in the 2014 amendment.

From Exh. D of Elk Grove's 2014 Amended Contract

During the first year of the new three to five year term, Elk Grove will pay an average of $3907 (est.) per camera per month, still above the $3000 target price discussed above. Over the five years Elk Grove will pay an average of $2824 (est.) per camera per month.

That $2824 average rent is not as low as found in some other California cities - particularly those in southern California - but compared to many other northern California cities it is significantly lower.

The table itself is important because it is the first time that a formal schedule of pricing over time (years in service) has been published anywhere in California.

2017: Two-Year Extension

At their meeting of 3-22-17 the city council voted 4 - 1 to extend the camera program for another two years.

Staff Report
Signed Amendment
Article

2019: One-Year Extension

At their meeting of 4-24-19 the city council voted 4 - 0 (Nguyen abstained) to extend the camera program for another year, to
expire on 4-30-20. The rent averaged $2239.20 per camera.

In 2020 staff extended the contract to 2021, at the same rent.

Signed Fifth and Sixth Amendments

This list of contracts and amendments was up-to-date as of May 4, 2020.

Doing a TBD? Statement of Identification Required

The Sacramento Superior Court has been attempting to keep defendants from using a Trial by Declaration ("TBD") to raise the question of identity. When you contact a court and request a TBD, most courts will give you, or send you, the necessary forms. But Sacramento County, in addition to supplying the usual state-approved TBD forms (TR-205, TR-200), has been sending out a special form that they created for their own local use. The form asks you to admit ("stipulate") that you were the driver.
