Rancho Cordova Documents
Some of Rancho Cordova'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 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
Wieckowski, Author of the
anti-motorist bills SB
1 and AB 666
who will be running for re-election
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 the contract to 2010, and in 2010 he made the
motion to extend the contract to June 2017.
2015 - 2017: New Cameras were
installed in Rancho Cordova. See Set #
5, Below.

[ ] indicates a
footnote.
[1] Totals are as provided by the City.
[2] These annual totals, or projections, are
by highwayrobbery.net.
[3] Un-used columns are to allow for later
expansion of City's system.
[4] Except where noted otherwise, the figures
given in the table are for the single calendar month
indicated. 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] Data was requested on:
[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.
[8] The title bar has been repeated solely
for the convenience of the reader - there is no difference
between it and the one at the top of the table.
[9] The official report for this month was
generated just a few days after the end of the month, so
may not show the full quantity of tickets eventually
issued for the month.
[10] Highwayrobbery.net received a single
report covering this five-month period.

# 5, below.

Mickey Mouse Tickets - Mostly Right
Turns & Most Go to Visitors
An official
report showed that in 2014, 88% of the City's
tickets were for right turns.
In May 2016 a report
prepared by RedFlex for another client disclosed that
72% of Rancho Cordova's tickets go to visitors.

Accident Stats
Don't Add Up - But It Will Make Big Bucks
In March 2014 we received copies of two
internal memos.
The first one, dated Jan. 28, 2014, includes accident
stats that just don't add up.
The second memo, dated March 14, 2014, shows that the
program will be quite profitable; the City will more
than double its investment.
The City's Treasurer's
Report shows that the City's investment portfolio
is rising, up 16% in one year, to a mid-2016 total of
$130 million in cash, stocks and bonds.

"Late Time"
Graphs
The City provided bar graphs of Late
Times, etcetera.
These RedFlex Redlight Offender Statistics ("RROS")
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 City has denied all 2015 and
later public records requests for RROS, claiming:
"We do not use or run the 'offender' report."
Bar graphs are available for more than
fifty other cities - see the list in
the expanded version of Defect # 9.

The Contract -
Paying Way Too Much
In Feb. 2010 the city council adopted 4
- 1 (Ayes: Budge, McGarvey, Sander, Skoglund; Nay:
Cooley) a resolution allowing the city manager to
negotiate and sign a contract with RedFlex.
In Feb. 2011 the city council adopted 3 - 1 (Ayes:
Budge, McGarvey, Skoglund; Nay: Cooley; Absent: Sander)
a resolution with revised payment terms.

2011 Signed Contract
The contract may be cost neutral, as it
includes (in its Exhibit D) an adjustment for "financial
insolvency." See Subsection B. of Defect # 10.
The first cameras went live on Dec. 12, 2012.
The contract also says: Definitions.
"Warning Period" means a period after the
Installation Date of the first intersection
approach, wherein only warning notices shall be
issued...." (Emphasis added.) See
Defect # 6.
2015: Five More Years, New Cameras, and
Paying Too Much
In Mar. 2015 the City signed a contract
amendment extending the program for five years.
The City agreed to pay WAY too
much. In March 2014 the City of Elk Grove
approved a new contract which specified the following
schedule of rents for their five RedFlex cameras.
Imaged from Exh. D of the Elk
Grove (California) Contract
Under the amended contract, Rancho Cordova will pay
$280,960 extra (compared to the Elk Grove rents) over
the five years 2015 - 2020, and will need to issue an
extra 2810 tickets in order to cover that extra rent
(assuming that the City gets $150 from each paid
ticket and that 2/3 of tickets are paid). To
see more about how much other cities pay, see FAQ # 17.
Other major problems with the 2015 amendment:
1. The amendment provides for two one-year
extensions, which are to occur automatically unless the
City gives RedFlex 30 days prior notice that it does not
wish to extend. If the City misses the deadlines to
give notice, the contract could extend to 2022 without a
reduction in price.
(Contract extensions should never be automatic!)
2. The 2015 amendment deleted Section 6.2 of the
2011 contract, which was entitled Termination without
Cause. Thus, there no longer is an escape clause
(also known as Termination for Convenience) - something
commonly found in other cities' contracts - and the City
is locked in until 2020 and cannot cancel or get a better
price.
In June 2015 the sheriff announced
the installation of two new cameras on Sunrise.
This list of contracts and amendments was
up-to-date as of Feb. 12, 2019.

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.
For more info see Set # 5 on the Sacramento Docs page.

Operating With No Rules,
Guidelines, Controls, Audits?
On June 15, 2018 I sent a public
records request, including the following, to the City
and the Sheriff:
P(1)(a). The latest
version or revision of the "uniform guidelines" and
the "procedures to ensure compliance with
those guidelines," as required by CVC 21455.5(c)(1).
P(1)(b). The latest version or revision
of the "controls" required by CVC 21455.5(c)(2)(F).
P(1)(c). A copy of the current "Business
Rules," or equivalent, for the operation of the red
light camera program.
P(2). A copy of the most recent audit
(or equivalent quality control report) of the red
light camera program's ticket processing and
issuance, where the subject matter may have
included, but was not limited to:
(a). Tickets issued to
registered owners who were an obvious age and/or
gender mismatch with the driver shown in the "face"
photo, or
(b). The handling of
violations where a plate number was legible but
Redflex was unable to obtain from the DMV the name
and address of the registered owner and referred the
incident to the police department (marked
"incomplete details" or the equivalent) so that a
name and address could be obtained from the DMV by
the City's law enforcement personnel.
|
On July 9 the City provided eight
documents in response to other parts of the request,
such as monthly totals of the tickets issued by each
camera; there were no documents responsive or related to
the "P" items above.
