Motion PASSED 3-0.
3. School speed zone traffic safety camera ordinance amending KCC 9.36
Chairperson Boyce indicated that this program is something this committee has been working on
and is only about safety in our district and for kids.
Deputy City Attorney Pat Fitzpatrick and Sergeant Robert Constant presented information. Pat
Fitzpatrick outlined the program and indicated this is not a red light/stop light program, but this
is for school speed zones. Kent is only implementing cameras in school speed zones.
Pat Fitzpatrick provided details regarding the ordinance and related contract, the study
performed by the public works department in addition to assessment of costs and revenue
prepared by the finance department ensuring that this program will not cost the city any money.
A new version of ordinance was made available at the meeting. Pat Fitzpatrick provided details
in the ordinance that are required by State law. No photos are taken of driver, only of rear of
the vehicle and license plate and photos can only be used for enforcing the school speed zones.
The cameras will be activated a half hour before and after school. During the time the cameras
are activated, a vehicle passing through the system, exceeding the speed limit, is photographed.
The company we contract with gathers the data and sends to the Kent police department. A

Kent police officer reviews and approves or declines citations which are directly filed into
municipal court. Direct filing was a critical issue when selecting the contractor. We did not want
court personnel spending time entering data for filing infractions into the court. The contractor
we selected has a contract with the State Office of Administrator of the Courts to directly file
citations once an officer approves the citation. Once filed, it is treated just like any other
infraction; it can be contested, mitigated, or it can be paid. If not paid, it goes to Failure to
Appear (FTA) status and affects the ability to register the vehicle at a later date. These
infractions do not affect insurance rates.
Under the law, there is a presumption that the registered owner was driving the vehicle. A
person can sign an affidavit, under penalty of perjury, that they were not driving the vehicle and
identify the person that was driving the vehicle or indicate that the vehicle was stolen.
Councilmember Ralph asked if, at the time of signing the affidavit, the owner is required to
identify the person driving the vehicle. Pat Fitzpatrick indicated that they are required to
identify the driver and it is standard practice that allows the City to refile against the person
driving. Councilmember Thomas asked if the affidavit is required to be completed in court. Pat
Fitzpatrick indicated that State law requires that the city allows filing by mail and anticipates
that Kent will implement this requirement. Sergeant Constant indicated that under certain
circumstances, i.e., repeat offenders signing affidavits, an officer may need to perform
additional review of the images taken. Committee Chairperson Boyce reiterated that this
program is not meant to be a revenue generator, rather a safety program.
Pat Fitzpatrick detailed the two issues of critical importance to the public safety committee. (1)
Use of funds. The committee wanted the funds to be redirected back into the program to make
sure the cost of the program are covered and (2) if there are any funds remaining in excess of
the costs that they be used to fund personnel programs, services and equipment related to the
enforcement and processing of traffic and criminal laws within the City. Chairperson Boyce
indicated that all three committee members are in agreement with the provisions in the
ordinance addressing these two issues.
Pat Fitzpatrick discussed the enforcement provisions regarding the penalty section of the
ordinance. There will be a two-phase penalty. The first phase addresses anyone going over the
20 mph limit - committing that offense comes with a $124 fine. If a person is travelling 30 mph
or more, the penalty doubles. These penalties are consistent with current state law in school
speed zones. Pat Fitzpatrick indicated that if an officer is patrolling a speed zone with a radar
gun and someone exceeds the speed limit, the traffic fine doubles, no matter how many miles
over the speed limit they are travelling. Most fines in typical speeding cases are based on five
mph increments.
Sergeant Constant discussed the severity of injuries caused at various speeds. Impacts that
involve a pedestrian at 20 mph (nationwide there is a 5% chance of a fatality); speeds of 30
mph (there is a 45% chance of a fatality). Every additional increase in speed greatly increases
the chance of a fatality. Keeping drivers under 20 mph decreases the chance of injuries and
fatalities, and increases the safety of pedestrians in school speed zones and in cases of children
this plays a significant factor in the survivability of a child.
Pat Fitzpatrick indicated that language in the previous version of the ordinance implied that
there would be no fine until a person was travelling 25 mph. That provision was removed from
the current ordinance, but the police department has discretion as to whether or not to issue an
infraction for speeds 20-25 mph. Chairperson Boyce asked for clarification as to whether or not
a person going 24 or 25 mpg would be issued a citation. Pat Fitzpatrick indicated that the driver
going 25 mph would be issued an infraction. Sergeant Constant provided information
supporting discretionary issuance of citations regarding the stopping distance and kinetic energy
involved in the increased speeds, and the potential injuries.

Pat Fitzpatrick indicated that Seattle issues citations at 21 mph, Auburn, Renton, Des Moines,
and Federal Way issue citations to vehicles going 26 mph or more.
Councilmember Ralph indicated that our approach is based on safety - slowing down vehicles.
We need to make sure that this ordinance does what we want it to do - provide safety.
Councilmember Thomas asked about the hours of operation of the cameras. Pat Fitzpatrick
indicated that photographs will be taken when the lights are flashing. Issaquah operates their
cameras the entire time the school is in session. Pat indicated that this program is for the
safety of the kids and that the City can reevaluate and revise the hours of operation.
Councilmember Ralph requested clarification on who confirms that the cameras are operating on
late start dates, etc. Pat Fitzpatrick indicated that this issue is something that is currently being
worked on, but it is his impression that the cameras are operated by the City's public works
department in cooperation with the Kent School District. The City needs to be kept up-to-date
on the school schedules.
After deliberating, Councilmember Thomas MOVED and Councilmember Ralph SECONDED
a Motion to recommend adoption of the ordinance presented at the May 14, 2013
public safety committee meeting amending Chapter 9.36 of the Kent City Code by
adding the new section 9.36.140 entitled "School speed zone traffic safety cameras."
Motion PASSED 3-0.
4. School speed zone traffic safety camera contract with American Traffic
Solutions
Deputy City Attorney Pat Fitzpatrick indicated that a service provider is required for the school
zone traffic safety camera program. The City requested qualifications from three companies,
two from the state of Washington, and one out of state. The three companies presented their
programs to a panel of representatives from police, public works, law, and the court. One
company was not qualified. Based on the presentations, American Traffic Solutions (ATS) stood
out. Pat requested the committee approve the contract subject to the terms and conditions
approved by the city attorney since a few issues are still being negotiated.
ATS will perform a follow-up study to the City's study to ensure that this program is going to be
a cost-neutral process. ATS will work with the public works department to design and assess
the location of the cameras and will install the cameras at their cost. The intent is to have the
system up and running the first day of the 2013 school year. There will be a 30 day warning
period in which photographs are taken and warning notifications are sent to the vehicle
registered owners. ATS sets up the computer system that directly provides information to the
Judicial Information System (the State court system). ATS helps us create the format of the
infraction. ATS .provides for the maintenance and repair of the system. The fee per
approach/camera is $4750. Each zone has two cameras, one in each direction. Protections
were negotiated in the contract to ensure that, at the end of the term of the contract, if the City
owes money, that amount is forgiven. If the cameras work how we want them to, the City has
accomplished its goal. According to the contract, if we do not take in more money than the cost
of the cameras, it is rolled over to the next month. If at the end of the term of the contract, the
City owes money, ATS will forgive the amount owed.
If either of the school zones do not performing as anticipated, the City can, at its cost, move the
camera(s) to another school zone.
An additional protection negotiated in the contract relates to challenges in the courts and/or
legislature. If there is a successful challenge in the courts, the city can terminate the contract.
Additionally, if the legislature decides that the cameras are illegal, the City has the ability to
Public Safety Committee Minutes
May 14, 2013 3

terminate the contract. The contract term is five years with extensions available at the City's
option.
Chairperson Boyce wanted confirmation regarding other cities contracting with ATS. Sergeant
Constant Indicated that ATS is the biggest provider in the state of Washington and in the nation.
ATS just entered into a contract with Seattle and currently contracts with Renton, Des Moines
and Issaquah in addition to other cities.
Council member Ralph asked for clarification regarding the cost of the program. Pat Fitzpatrick
indicated that if the city does not collect enough to cover the $4750 per camera, then that
amount is forgiven and does not include overtime costs, court personnel, or prosecution costs.
The additional costs can be analyzed with the documentation provided by the Finance Director
Robert Nachlinger.
The committee confirmed that the ordinance and contract will be presented under "other
business" and will potentially go to the next council workshop.
Council member Ralph indicated that, regarding the ordinance, safety issues are the primary
driver, but is also concerned about the costs. She would like to make sure that we are tracking
the actual costs and they stay the actual costs, not rolled into operational costs. If there is any
excess in funds, the money should go back into public safety so that those funds will impact the
safety of the rest of the City.
Pat reviewed the traffic safety study results and recommended implementing the program in two
schools-Neeley-O'Brien elementary and Sunrise elementary. Sergeant Constant provided
details regarding the traffic study for each of the six school speed zones studied. He indicated
that one officer can make a stop of one vehicle every 8-12 minutes where the safety cameras
can capture more violators and bring awareness to those drivers at a much higher rate. Pat
confirmed that ATS will be performing an additional study to ensure the accuracy of the City's
study.
Council member Thomas requested confirmation that the cameras capture all four lanes in the
school zones. Pat Fitzpatrick and Sergeant Constant confirmed that the cameras will capture all
four lanes.
Pat Fitzpatrick provided the financial information provided by Robert Nachlinger, Finance
Director. Studies show that the number of violations dramatically drop during the first six
months the cameras start operating. The finance department analyzed staff time and the cost
of camera system and made a very conservative assumption that 98% of the violators would
correct their behavior. With only 2% of the violators left, the City will cover the costs of the
program and there will be money coming back into the program that can be utilized for traffic
enforcement in other areas of the city. It is anticipated that there will be initial increased costs
due to the number of violators. More work will be done by staff in the beginning. Sergeant
Constant indicated that generally, there is a 60-80% reduction in violations 6 months - one year
from implementation.
Council member Ralph asked for clarification on the personnel hours and if they were based on
employee time required at the time of implementation or 6 months after implementation. Pat
Fitzpatrick indicated that the Law department's numbers are based on 6 months after
implementation. Sergeant Constant indicated that, initially, there may be more complaints from
the public that require supervisory time. Based the police department numbers on neighboring
jurisdictions, and it is a conservative estimate.
Council member Ralph asked about collection rates from neighboring jurisdictions. Sergeant
Constant indicted that some of the other jurisdictions did not tie the speed zone offenses to the

ability to tag the registration which caused a larger number of collections. The City will tie these
infractions to the ability to register the vehicle which should reduce the number of
uncollectables.
Chairperson Boyce invited Kent School District Superintendent, Dr. Vargas, to speak on behalf of
the school district regarding the school speed zone traffic safety program. Dr. Vargas detailed
the need for a safety program that will benefit the community and the safety of the kids. Safety
is the number one priority for the school district. Dr. Vargas commended the City's vision and
leadership in making our community safer. Chairperson Boyce indicated that the City's goal is
to be proactive. Dr. Vargas indicated that the school district has received complaints and
significant concerns from parents and believes the community will welcome this program for our
kids. Council member Ralph thanked Dr. Vargas for the partnering between the school district
and the community and indicated that it serves our community well.
After deliberating, Councilmember Ralph MOVED and Councilmember Thomas SECONDED
a Motion to recommend authorizing the Mayor to enter into a five year contract with
American Traffic Solutions for school speed zone traffic safety cameras subject to final
terms and conditions acceptable to the city attorney and police chief. Motion PASSED
3-0.
S. Ordinance amending KCC 9.36 "Traffic Code"
Pat Fitzpatrick presented information on the traffic safety school that the city of Kent has
established and utilized via policy for many years and indicated that it is now in our interest to
officially establish the program. Our City, through Mike Buckingham and the police chief, has
created the model for this program in this area.
When a person charged with an infraction and if their record is such that they qualify, they are
permitted to attend our traffic safety school. The program is a reeducation process geared
towards new drivers and drivers that have not been educated since they received their license.
Participants spend a day with a traffic officer and at the successful completion of the program,
their infraction is dismissed. This is a one-time-only opportunity. This ordinance establishes the
program in addition to detailing the rules and parameters for implementation.
Councilmember Ralph indicated that this is a very successful program with an educational
opportunity.
After deliberating, Councilmember Thomas MOVED and Councilmember Ralph SECONDED
a Motion to recommend adoption of the ordinance amending Chapter 9.36 of the Kent
City Code, entitled "Traffic Code," adding a new Section 9.36.130 entitled "Traffic
Safety School," formally establishing a traffic safety school to promote traffic safety
within the city of Kent. Motion PASSED 3-0.
6. DSHS Youth alcohol prevention grant
Stacy Judd and Kent police youth board member Kaja, presented information regarding the

prevention, adjust the budget and authorize execution of any document relating to the
grant funds with terms and conditions acceptable to the city attorney and police chief.
Motion PASSED 3-0.
7. Drug Free Coalition — Information Only
Stacy Judd and Kent police youth board member Kaja presented information regarding the Drug
Free Coalition. This is a collaborative project between the Drug Free Coalition and the Kent
Police Youth Board and part of the Draw the Line Project between youth and alcohol.
Perceptions can drive how much people choose to use or not use alcohol and marijuana. Kaja
explained the results from the surveys the two groups conducted. If kids view graffiti, they may
think it is ok to do. If they view alcohol and cigarette advertising, they may perceive that it is
ok to drink and smoke. The police department is working with the community to fix these
perceptions and get areas cleaned up. The community needs to adopt the fact that it is not ok
for youth to drink alcohol and do drugs.
The groups went and found positive things in the City that help change perceptions to the
positive including after school youth programs and the youth board. The groups work with
schools, neighborhood groups, and volunteer groups in addition to mentors in the schools.
The Youth Board and DFC work with businesses preventing underage drinking.
Council member Ralph is very proud of our youth board and all of the great work they are doing.
Council member Thomas talked about the confusing messages in the media from sports figures.
B. Fiscal Year 2012 Bureau Justice Assistance Grant
Assistant Chief Straus presented information regarding the Bureau Justice Assistance Grant.
This $51,000 grant will cover equipping officers with rifles, upgrading the police range, replacing
worn bicycles in the bicycle unit, corrections programs eradicating graffiti and picking up
garbage. This annual grant will run through September 2015.
After deliberating, Councilmember Thomas MOVED and Councilmember Ralph SECONDED
a Motion to recommend Council accept the Fiscal Year 2012 Bureau of Justice, Justice
Assistance Grant in an amount of $51,883, authorize amending the budget and
authorize expenditure of the funds in accordance with the grant terms acceptable to
the police chief and city attorney. Motion PASSED 3-0.
9. Securus Inmate Phone Services — Information Only

the City's legal department did an excellent job putting together a contract with Securus
Technologies. The contract has been signed and the corrections department will be moving

TARGET TEAM
August 24, 2012
Hello Annie and Sara:
WTSC has approved $225,000 to support the King County Target Zero Teams project for work conducted October 1,
2012 to September 30, 2013. You will need to provide a work plan to me that covers your project for this amount
of funds and this timeframe.
I have included the following templates:
• A Law Enforcement MOU to provide overtime funding to participating agencies
• A Law Enforcement and Law Enforcement Liaison MOU to provide overtime funding to those Police Department
that host law enforcement liaisons to cover their law enforcement participation, as well as overtime for the law
enforcement liaison.
• A Law Enforcement, Law Enforcement Liaison and Target Zero Manager MOU.
• An agreement template between WTSC and LCB.
Annie, it is probably best if you work with your office to amend the current Task Force Agreement and send it to me.
Please review this paperwork to ensure it captures the necessary elements of your county's plan and let me know if it
meets your expectations.
Prior to beginning patrols:
All paperwork from this project will go through you for your approval before sending it to me. Please return two signed
originals for each MOU generated. We will sign the MOUs, scan them and email all of the scans to you. We will also mail
the second signed copy back to the agency. Please let me know when to expect the signed MOUs.
During the Target Zero Teams Project:
• Ensure Agencies Use Emphasis Patrol Activity Logs: Ask your law enforcement agencies to have their
officers record their activity on the logs provided. Do not modify the logs! I have made no changes to this log,
so the same logs may be used.
• Monitor Spending: Your task force budget can be moved between agencies without requiring an amendment if
the amount moved is less that 50% of the total MOU. Ensure your total task force budget is not exceeded. Please
send me a quick email letting me know when you do this.
• Meet Reporting Deadline: You now can choose to report on TZT once a quarter. Since we are no longer
part of the NHTSA evaluation, you can report quarterly (unless it's easier for you to keep track monthly).
Please contact me with any questions or suggestions)
Many Thanksl

CBA Basics
New to cost-benefit analysis?
CBKB has compiled a variety of resources to help you learn about cost-benefit
analysis and its application to criminal justice policy and planning. This page
provides a brief definition of cost-benefit analysis (CBA), explains how CBA can
inform justice policy, and outlines the steps involved in conducting cost-benefit
studies.
After reviewing this basic information, consult our glossary for definitions of
common terms used in CBA and other economic assessments, and read through the
CBKB toolkit, which provides more detailed information about how to conduct a
CBA. Search our reference database to find cost-benefit studies, articles, and
papers related to criminal justice policies and programs, and look through our
collection of online resources, which includes links to news articles, data sources,
and organizations that conduct CBAs. And check our podcast, presentation, and
webinar collections for resources geared to both new and advanced cost-benefit
practitioners.
What is cost-benefit analysis (CBA)?
CBA is an evaluation technique that compares the costs and benefits of policies and
programs over a long-term period. The hallmark of CBA is that both the costs and
the benefits are expressed in monetary terms so that costs and benefits can be
directly compared. Also, because benefits are always expressed in dollar terms,
CBA enables decision-makers to compare policies and programs with entirely
different purposes and outcomes.
How can CBA inform justice policy?
CBA supplies policymakers with the information to weigh the pros and cons of
alternative investments, and enables them to identify options that are not only
cost-effective but also have the greatest net social benefit. Cost-benefit analysis
can be applied to a broad range of justice issues and help policymakers answer
difficult questions, such as:
• What reentry programs provide the greatest return on investment?
• If we need to cut services, which services can we reduce or eliminate without
jeopardizing public safety?
• Which mental health treatments deliver the "biggest bang for the buck"?
• Where should we allocate our limited dollars in policing, jails, or pre-trial
detention services?
27
How is a CBA conducted?
CBA involves the following steps:
1. Assess the impact of the initiative.
Does it work? Does it accomplish the desired end, such as reducing
recidivism or substance abuse? If the target initiative cannot be directly
evaluated, has a similar initiative been proven to work?
2. Measure the costs of the initiative.
What does it cost to launch and operate the policy or program?
3. Measure the benefits of the initiative.
What is the dollar value of the initiative's impact? Who does the program
benefit? Criminal justice initiatives can affect many groups, including
taxpayers, victims, and program participants. What is the magnitude of the
economic benefits to each relevant group?
4. Compare costs and benefits.
Over the long term, do the benefits outweigh the costs? Does the initiative
deliver higher or lower returns on investment than alternative options?
