Scott Nylander Department Director: Ch'; ar„-; :ro • Contact Number: X3315 City Manager: Rob Fra-, �� /1 Subject: Approval for the placement of two additional red light camera locations and Sixth Amendment To City of Ocoee Services Two Phase Agreement with American Traffic Solutions, LLC (ATS) Pertaining to Red-light Running Camera Enforcement System Background Summary: The City of Ocoee desires to ensure the safety of the citizens who travel the roadways within the City limits. The disregard of traffic control signals within intersections poses a threat to all citizens who travel our roadways. The current contract between the City of Ocoee and ATS (dated November 10, 2017) allows for the addition of red light cameras. The City of Ocoee Police Department had ATS survey several potential locations for the addition of possible red light cameras and obtained traffic crash data for these locations. After reviewing the traffic crash data and the recommendations made by ATS as a result of the surveys, The City of Ocoee Police Department recommends placing red light cameras on north and south bound Clarke Road at Silver Star Road. These locations would provide the best opportunity to help ensure the safety of all individuals who travel through the City. The use of Automated License Plate Readers (ALPR) technology helps ensure the safety of individuals who travel our roadways and live in the City by identifying drivers with no licenses, suspended licenses, no vehicle insurance or registration information, etc. ALPRs can also help solve crimes or identify possible suspects who commit crimes, therefore making the City of Ocoee safer for all who travel and live in the City. In the Sixth Amendment, The City of Ocoee has agreed to install a total of five additional red light cameras. Two of those camera locations have been listed above. Three additional cameras will be installed at a later time at previous existing locations. These previous existing locations are Northbound and Southbound on Maguire road at SR 50 and Northbound on Blackwood Avenue at SR 50. Since the City has agreed to install five additional red light cameras, ATS, through its subcontractor Cintel, LLC, has agreed to provide the City ten ALPRs at no additional monthly cost per camera. Issue: Should the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners approve the addition of two red light cameras at Northbound and Southbound Clarke Road at Silver Star Road? Should the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners approve the Sixth Amendment to the Agreement with ATS, thus adding ten ALPRs throughout the City of Ocoee? Recommendations: Staff recommends the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners approve the addition of two red light cameras at Northbound and Southbound Clarke Road at Silver Star Road. Staff recommends the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners approve the Sixth Amendment to the Agreement with ATS, and the Honorable Mayor sign the Sixth Amendment to the Agreement with ATS, thus adding ten ALPRs throughout the City of Ocoee. Attachments: Agreement and the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Amendment. Financial Impact: • The addition of two red light locations will cost $4250 per camera, per month, which will be paid through violator fines. . The Sixth Amendment to the Agreement provides: • The Monthly camera operation cost will remain at $4250 per camera. There is no financial increase with the addition of ten ALPRs.
