Before installing a photographic traffic signal enforcement system at an intersection approach:
(1) 
The city manager or designee shall conduct a traffic engineering study of the approach to determine whether, in addition to or as an alternative to the system, a design change to the approach or a change in the signalization of the intersection is likely to reduce the number of red light violations at the intersection.
(2) 
An intersection approach must be selected for the installation of a photographic traffic signal enforcement system based on traffic volume, the history of accidents at the approach, the number or frequency of red light violations at the intersection, and similar traffic engineering and safety criteria, without regard to the ethnic or socioeconomic characteristics of the area in which the approach is located.
(3) 
The city manager or designee shall report results of the traffic engineering study required by subsection (1) to a citizen advisory committee consisting of one person appointed by each member of the city council.

(9) 
The report must be in writing in the form prescribed by the state department of transportation.
(Ordinance 2007-12-57 adopted 12/10/07)
(a) 
The city council finds and determines that a vehicle that proceeds into an intersection when the traffic-control signal for that vehicle's direction of travel is emitting a steady red signal damages the public by endangering vehicle operators and pedestrians alike, by decreasing the efficiency of traffic-control and traffic flow efforts, and by increasing the number of serious accidents to which public safety agencies must respond at the expense of the taxpayers.
(b) 
The owner of a motor vehicle is liable for a civil penalty if the vehicle proceeds into an intersection at a system location when the traffic-control signal for that vehicle's direction of travel is emitting a steady red signal.
(c) 
The civil penalty for which the owner is liable is in the amount of seventy-five dollars ($75.00).
(Ordinance 2007-12-57 adopted 12/10/07)

An affidavit of an officer or employee of the city that alleges a violation based on an inspection of the pertinent recorded image is admissible in a proceeding under this division, is evidence of the facts contained in the affidavit, and is prima facie evidence of the violation alleged in the notice of violation.

(2) 
Within the same period required by section 22.02.034(c)(11)(B) for a hearing to be timely requested but measured from the date the mailed notice was received as stated in the affidavit filed under subsection (1), the person requests an administrative adjudication hearing.
(Ordinance 2007-12-57 adopted 12/10/07)
