Pacific staff outline "operation safe speed" program and planned speed cameras at Alpac Elementary
Summary
Council and staff discussed speeding across the city; Lieutenant Terry Carter said the Police Department will start an "operation safe speed" program with street-by-street emphasis and monthly data reports, and said speed cameras at Alpac Elementary should be installed once an agreement with NovoaGlobal and King County Courts is executed.
City of Pacific councilors raised ongoing speeding concerns Nov. 10 and staff described steps intended to address them.
Lieutenant Terry Carter told the council "the Police Department is starting a program on operation safe speed that will provide emphasis moving from street to street to enforce the speeding in the city." He said the department will provide monthly data reports to the council to improve accuracy and tracking. Carter added that speed cameras at Alpac Elementary "should be installed soon once the agreement with NovoaGlobal and King County Courts is executed in a few weeks."
Resident Stacey Jackson, identified in the meeting record as from Countyline Road, urged additional enforcement for speeding off Countyline Road. Council Member Helms asked staff what process would be needed to build out a new server mentioned in the IT report; no timeline or funding for that server was recorded in the minutes.
The council also received committee updates (Sound Cities Association, South County Area Transportation Board, Valley Regional Fire Authority) and a public-works update on design revisions for the 3rd and Milwaukee intersection and Ellingson Road paving tied to King County Parks funding.
Action: Staff to produce monthly speed-enforcement data reports; speed-camera installation at Alpac Elementary contingent on executed agreements.
