Amending Resolution No. 1338: Automated Traffic Camera Penalties for School Speed Zones
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
City staff are requesting Council authorization to update the monetary penalties for violations of RCW 46.61.220 detected by automated traffic safety cameras.

The summary also includes the City's Speed Camera Program Analysis, which evaluates equity impacts, speeding and collision data, and the demonstrated need for automated enforcement in the proposed school-zone locations.
