City of Marysville Documents (Program
Closed)
(and Information)
Marysville, pop. 13,000, is 42 miles north of
Sacramento.
Some of Marysville'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, and
read this Aug. 2011 letter
to the Appeal-Democrat.
The Marysville
camera program closed in June
2016. See Set # 2, below.
Do you live in the South end of
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
R. A. Wieckowski, Author of the
anti-motorist bill 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).
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 that contract to 2010, and in
2010 he made the motion to extend it to June 2017.
In
May 2012 the City installed its seventh
camera, at 10th and Ramirez. Article.

Misleading
Info on the Court's Website
On Oct.
12, 2006 I noticed that the court's website
( http://www.yubacourts.org ) said:
"If
you receive a photo-enforced red light citation
or notice of violation and you were not the
driver, you must
follow the instructions on the citation or
notice of violation and complete the
accompanying form to identify the driver
who committed the violation. If you need further
assistance contact Marysville Police Department.
Failure to respond to the citation or notice of
violation may result in further penalties such
as additional fines or driver's license holds."
[Emphasis (bolding) added by
highwayrobbery.net.]
I then called them and
pointed out that the mandatory "must"
was incorrect and should not be on a court website,
because no defendant is required to tell anyone who was
driving their car.
( It is OK for such a misleading/false statement to be on
a document sent to you by the police - they are allowed to
lie to you! But not so for the court. If you
do not understand why that is, see the "It's Not Me!"
section on the Your Ticket page.)
By Oct . 16 they had
changed the website to read:
"If you were not the
driver, complete the appropriate section on the
citation and mail it immediately to the address on
the citation. The agency will contact the court
regarding your information. If you fail to complete
the required information and return it to the
address on the citation and do not appear or contact
the court by your assigned date, additional
penalties will be added to your case and your
driver’s license will be suspended."
While the court personnel
removed the "must" and added a mention of appearing in
court, the paragraph still is misleading. In fact,
in one way they made it even worse. The new
wording gives the impression that in addition to filling
out the form, you must also ("and") appear in
court or contact it, by the due date.
The new wording still fails to make it clear that if you
do not want to fill out the form and give the name of
the driver, appearing in court is an alternative.
A Feb. 2011 review of the website revealed that they
have again removed any mention of the option to appear
in court. The site says only:
"If you were not the driver,
complete the appropriate section on the citation
and mail it to the address on the citation."

Set # 2
The
Illegal/Spendthrift Contracts - and New Cameras
The original
contract was signed in Dec. 2004 and contained,
in the Business Assumptions section of its Exhibit D, a
cost neutral clause. See Defect # 10 - B
for more information about cost neutrality.
On Dec. 16, 2008 the Appeal Democrat
had an article
about the effect of a recent appellate court decision on
the contract.
In July 2009 the city council agreed to
a renewal.
The
renewal reduced the previous monthly fee of $6030 fee
for each of the four existing cameras to $5700, a 5%
decrease.
Had the council negotiated a $4000 fee
like that in the 2008
contract
of the City of Santa Clarita, it could have saved $1700
per camera
per month, or $408,000 for the four cameras over the 60
months
of the contract.
Or, had the council negotiated a $2500 fee
like that in the 2009
contract
of the City of Davis, it could have saved $768,000.
Or, had the council negotiated a $2225 fee
like that in the 2009 contract
of the City of Solana Beach, it could have saved $834,000.
In Feb. 2011 the city council agreed to
a five-year extension.
They
got a 3.5% lower price, $5500, but that still was way
too much. When compared to a $3000 target price,
the City will overpay by $600,000 for the four original
cameras over the five years. See FAQ # 17.
Further problems with the 2011 contract extension:
1. It has no escape clause (Termination for
Convenience), something
commonly found in other cities' contracts.
2. The contract adds a Halo (collision avoidance)
system. See Set # 7, below.
2013: Proposed New Cameras
By a 3 - 2 vote at their May 21, 2013
meeting, the city council rejected the addition
of two more cameras. The item
could come back to the council at a later date.
2014: Possible Contract Amendment
An early 2014 RedFlex invoice
included a handwritten notation which said, "pending
amendment negotiation."
2015 invoices
(and more
2015 invoices) show that the City still is being
billed for the Halo system (see Set # 7, below).
2015: City is in Dire Straits
A report
prepared for an Oct. 22, 2015 budget meeting revealed
that the City had a $922,000 negative balance in its
General Fund, and that the City could run out of cash.
June 2016: Program Ended!
A staff
report voted upon at the May 17, 2016 council
meeting recommended ending the program, and the vote was
5 - 0 to do so.
We don't yet know if the City will ask
RedFlex for a refund of the $15,000 they paid RedFlex
for the collision avoidance system. See Set # 7,
below.
This contract info was up-to-date as of 5-18-16.

This table made by highwayrobbery.net,
using official reports provided by the City under the
California Public Records Act.
[ ] indicates a footnote.
[1] Totals are as provided by the City.
[2] Annual total, or annual projection, is by
highwayrobbery.net. The 2016 projection is 1/2 of
2015.
[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). Figures in blue
italic type are citations filed with
the court, per the annual report required by CVC
21455.5(i). See Set # 4 below for more about the
annual report.

[13] Source data for these months was
received on 12-20-12.
[14] The report for this month was generated
a few days before the end of the month, so it is likely
that not all tickets (for violations which occurred during
the month) had been approved and counted by that
time. A proportionate adjustment has been made and
posted above.
[15] Source data for this month was received
on 1-18-13.
[16] Source data for this month was received

[18] In June 2014 the Grand Jury recommended
the removal of these cameras. See Set # 6, below.
[19] According to an article in the 6-26-14
Appeal-Democrat, the cameras at 10th & G were to be
back in operation soon, and the cameras at 9th & E
were not expected to be back in operation "until later
this [2014] Fall."
A year later, a 6-26-15 A-D
article said that reinstallation of cameras at 9th
& E awaited approval from CalTrans. See
Set # 6, below.

Mickey Mouse Tickets - Mostly Right Turn
& Mostly to Visitors
An official
report showed that in 2013, 75% of the City's
tickets were for right turns.
In 2014 it was down to 63%.
In May 2016 a report
prepared by RedFlex disclosed that 86% of Marysville's
tickets went to visitors.

"Late Time" Graphs
The City provided bar graphs of Late Times,
etcetera, for all four 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 example pictured above is from another
city.

Yellow Light Length -
and the June 2014 Grand Jury Report
Think the yellows are too short - even though they may
meet the legal minimum? (You're probably
right.) Call CalTrans! The City runs the cameras,
but CalTrans owns the street and operates the signals at
3rd & E, 9th & E, and 10th & G. So
they set the length of the yellow. CalTrans
doesn't get a share of the fine, so they are inclined to
be fair, and logical, about signal timing - if a
problem is brought to their attention. In
other cities their engineers have increased the yellow,
above the minimum, after citizens complained.
Examples are Willow/Bayfront in Menlo Park, 120/29 in
Napa, and Mission/Mohave in Fremont. At each of
those locations, violations dropped, a lot, after the
lengthening. And have stayed down. You can
see the data, on those cities' pages here at
highwayrobbery.net. CalTrans is at (530) 741-4318
(in Marysville). Also call your state legislators.
At intersections where CalTrans owns the street, a
City must obtain an encroachment permit in order to
install red light cameras. In 2012, CalTrans
refused to renew the encroachment permits in the cities
of Riverside and Victorville (but later relented after
some high powered lobbying in Sacramento), and refused
to issue a new permit at Colusa/Plumas in Yuba City
(which later closed its program). (For more
details about encroachment permits, see the CalTrans
section at the top of the Links/Ref page.
Another avenue. Complain to the Yuba County Grand
Jury. (530) 749-7341. It was effective in
Napa - the Napa County Grand Jury ended up recommending
that 1000 tickets be dismissed.
Someone Must Have Complained!
A June 17, 2014 article
revealed that the Grand Jury slammed Marysville and its
camera program.
Among other things, the Grand Jury
Report recommended (page 98) the removal of the
cameras at 3rd & F and 10th & Ramirez, and
longer yellows. The Grand Jury
also wrote:
"This investigation found that generally the City of
Marysville has provided conflicting,
non-relevant, and/or unsupportable data to justify
the use of RLCs within City boundaries. Data
provided by the City of Marysville do not
correspond to data available through State-maintained
collision databases."
From page 62 of the report linked above.
Cities are required to respond to Grand Jury
reports. Here is Marysville's response
(in which they took a hard line stance against longer
yellows - see R6 on page 7) , and the very brief
minutes
of the council meeting during which the report, and the
response, were discussed.
If you would like to read some grand jury reports from
other counties, about their red light cameras, see the
Grand Jury entry in the Site Index.
Signal Timing Charts
In late 2015 we requested copies of the City's signal
timing charts.

The
Collision Avoidance ("Halo") System (Ripoff?)
On June 7, 2011 the city council approved the
installation of RedFlex' Halo collision avoidance
system at Third and F streets - Redflex' first
collision avoidance installation anywhere in the US.
An article
(archived
copy) in the Appeal-Democrat pointed out:
"The council adopted the resolution 4-0.
Councilman Dale Whitmore, who opposed the device's
installation at a previous council
meeting due to a dearth of previous trials of the
product elsewhere, was not present."
Six months later, on Dec. 6, 2011, RedFlex held
a little press conference at an intersection in
Chandler, Arizona, to try to get Phoenix-area cities
to try the Halo system. During their interview,
reporter Diane Ryan from Fox 10 asked RedFlex
spokesman Tom Herrmann, "Have you tried this
[collision avoidance] anywhere else?" Herrmann
replied, "We have done a test, in Northern California,
and it was very successful."
Herrmann didn't name the city, but that "test" most
likely was in Marysville. The Marysville chief
of police was surprised when I told him that RedFlex
had called the Marysville test "very
successful." The chief pointed out that since
the Marysville contract had just been approved in June
of 2011, it was too early to tell if the
Marysville system was a success.
It still was too early, six months later. In May
2012 I filed a public records request, for
"All writings, presentations or communications
concerning the City's collision avoidance system."
The Marysville city clerk replied:
"There is not any information regarding the
Collision Pre-emption System."
And even after another six months, it was still
too early to tell anything about the program. In Jan.
2013 the city clerk wrote:
"You are correct in assuming that there is no further
information regarding the Collision Avoidance System."
I inquired again in Apr. 2014 and again in Feb. 2015
and both times there was no new information about the
Halo system.
The 2009 and 2011 contracts (available in
Set # 2, above) required the City to pay $250 per
month for the collision avoidance system.
Since there has been no proof that it works, the City
should ask for a refund of the (approx.) $9000 it has
been charged for the Halo system.
Late 2015 invoices from RedFlex showed that the City
was continuing to be charged $250 each month for the
Halo system.
