SUBJECT: FINE AND FORFEITURE DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
FOR PHOTORADAR CITATIONS
Specific Request(s) or Recommendations(s) & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize .the Director of Justice System Programs to execute an agreement with the
Town of .Danville regarding processing of traffic citations issued using photoradar
technology.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None anticipated at this . time. Data processing costs necessary to modify the
Municipal Courts Automated Minor Offense Reporting System to handle these citations
will be reimbursed from an adjustment on the fines and forfeitures collected on these
citations. Purpose of program is deterrence; not revenue enhancement.
REASONS FOR RECONMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The Town of Danville is implementing a program whereby moving trafficcitations will
be issued using photoradar technology. These citations will require special
processing at the Municipal Courts from the moving traffic citations that are
currently .processed. . This agreement would provide a funding basis for these changes.
As a deterrent to speeders in residential areas and to improve the safety of children
in .school zones, the Town of Danville is implementing a program whereby moving traffic
citations will be issued using photoradar technology. As part of this program,
special tracking of the citations will be done via the Municipal Courts' Automated
Minor Offense Reporting System. To reimburse the County for this special processing
development costs and for ongoing operations at the Municipal Courts, the Town of
Danville has agreed to a modification of the fines and forfeitures distribution on
citations issued using photoradar technology. Further, the Town of Danville has
agreed that in instances where a .defendant fails to clear one of these citations, the
City Attorney's Office will'prosecute the matter. rather than the District Attorney.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to proceed with this agreement would mean that the Municipal Courts would
either be unable to process these. citations or would have to process them manually at
County expense. �-
