River Ridge CDD approves $105,000 for solar-powered radar signs and cloud services
Summary
The board approved AV‑Tech estimates to install three permanent and one mobile 15" solar-powered speed signs with cameras and $1,500 per-cloud-device annual fees for a combined $105,000; board discussed pole purchase and PSGRC enforcement criteria.
The River Ridge Community Development District board approved installation of three permanent and one mobile 15‑inch solar-powered digital speed radar signs, including cameras and messaging, and authorized recurring cloud-device fees at its Nov. 19 meeting.
Operations Manager Shane Willis presented AV‑Tech proposals that he described as part of a long-term traffic calming plan: roughly $74,000 for three permanent signs, $1,500 per cloud device per year, and an additional $25,000 proposal to install a mobile unit. Eric Long, PSGRC general manager, said moving an existing unit 20 to 30 yards could be useful after the unit logged about 800 speeding violations over three weeks; Willis said poles will be purchased from Paramount Asphalt at about $1,200 each.
On a motion by Bob Schultz and seconded by Kurt Blumenthal, the board approved My AV‑Tech LLC Estimates 24150 and 24151 to wire and install the permanent and mobile 15" solar-powered digital speed signs with cameras and messaging and to accept the $1,500 per-cloud-device annual fee, for a combined total of $105,000. The motion passed unanimously.
Discussion touched on budgeted traffic-calming funds (noted in the record as $150,000), the potential for PSGRC to issue warnings and fines under its covenant enforcement, and a suggestion that the homeowners association assume cloud-device costs offset by fine revenue. The board instructed operations staff to purchase required poles and coordinate installation schedules.
The board did not record any immediate enforcement policy change; staff will implement the devices and return with scheduling details and cost allocations as needed.
