Staff presented a fund-level update for the city’s traffic safety program and traffic-camera operations on April 17, reporting cash balances, fee receipts and obligations while flagging administrative-staffing constraints tied to increased camera activity.

Staff said the traffic safety fund began 2025 with a cash balance of roughly $112,799 and that fine receipts and camera-service fees are being posted monthly; staff reported traffic-camera service fees (Vireo Mobility/Vero Mobility-style vendor charges) for January–March totaled just over $62,000. “We carried over in 2025 a beginning cash balance of a hundred and 12, $799,” the presenter said.

Staff outlined committed obligations from the fund, including the roundabout funding and two police vehicles (committed at just under $170,000). Public-works and police vehicles may be procured later in the year depending on procurement timing. Staff also noted the fund was designed to transfer money for traffic-calming capital work (transport to Transportation Capital Fund 302) once a designated senior project manager is hired to administer that program.

Committee members raised a capacity concern: as the number of cameras and resulting citations increase, the court and prosecution workload rises, and staff said that could trigger new hires and require physical office capacity. Councilmember Goldway and others noted that adding cameras without concurrent administrative capacity risks producing citations the city cannot process; staff confirmed they are evaluating an increased allocation of court and prosecuting resources and that hiring additional court staff and securing workspace are practical constraints for expansion.

No new cameras or capital transfers were approved; staff said they will return with revised monthly figures, an updated projection when payroll and April receipts are posted, and staffing proposals to handle increased citation volumes should the council elect to expand camera locations.
