Summary
Council approved a second amendment to the camera services agreement (recorded in minutes as Nova Global / Noble Global) to implement school‑zone speed cameras and a red‑light camera at P.J. Adams intersection; motion passed 5‑0.
The Crestview City Council approved a second amendment to the services agreement with the city's contracted camera vendor on May 12, authorizing work on the newly authorized school‑zone speed camera program and installation of a red‑light camera at the P.J. Adams intersection.
Why it matters: The services amendment implements the equipment and operational work needed after the council adopted Ordinance 19 98 to permit automated speed enforcement in school zones. Council members confirmed the city’s intention to maintain officer presence while adding the automated systems as a deterrent.
Details from the meeting: A staff presentation described the agreement as covering speed cameras in school zones and the red‑light camera. Council members asked about implementation timing; staff said they expect to coordinate permitting and installation with the vendor and noted the timeline will depend on vendor permitting and related approvals. When asked if bus‑arm cameras were included, staff said state statute does not currently authorize bus‑arm enforcement.
Vote: Motion to approve the second amendment to the services agreement passed 5‑0 (moved by Councilman Hayes, seconded by Councilman Frost).
