6. Stoplight Traffic Safety Camera Ordinance
Operations Committee CC Ops Regular Meeting
Minutes
December 4, 2018
Kent, Washington
Page 2 of 3
Commander Todd Durham and Assistant City Attorney Ifeoma Canfield
presented an ordinance to amend chapter 9.36.150, "Stoplight traffic safety
cameras", of the Kent City code. This section of the ordinance approved by
Committee on November 20, 2018 provides for a fine of $124 per violation.
The Department intended the fine for a violation to match the base fine for
similar infractions not captured by automated traffic safety cameras which is
$136. Therefore staff returned the ordinance to Committee for approval with
the corrected fine amount. All other sections of the ordinance remain the
same.
MOTION: Recommend Council adopt an ordinance amending Chapter 9.36
of the Kent City Code by adding the new section 9.36.150 entitled, “Stoplight
traffic safety cameras."
RESULT: RECOMMENDED TO COUNCIL [UNANIMOUS] Next: 12/11/2018

7. School Speed Zone
Commander Todd Durham and Assistant City Attorney Ifeoma Canfield
presented an ordinance which amends Kent City Code section 9.36.140
increasing the base fine for a school speed zone infraction from $124 to
$136. The fine has not been adjusted since it was established in 2013 and
the proposed amount is consistent with currently imposed fines for many
similar infractions in Kent, as well as being consistent with the standard fine
in the RCWs.
MOTION: Recommend Council adopt the proposed ordinance which amends
Kent City Code section 9.36.140 to increase the base fine for an infraction
committed in a school speed zone from $124 to $136.
RESULT: RECOMMENDED TO COUNCIL [UNANIMOUS] Next: 12/11/2018
