City outlines how speed‑camera fines are split; officials say city share is earmarked for safety projects
Summary
Staff summarized the $100 citation split and said the city's portion must be used for public‑safety benefits such as crosswalks, speed trailers or vehicles; commissioners asked that allocations be visible to the public.
City staff reminded the commission of how fines from the program will be distributed and said state law restricts use of the city's portion to public‑safety purposes. The moderator summarized the split: $39 to the city, $21 to Red Speed, $20 to the state, $12 to the school district, $5 to a crossing‑guard program and $3 to a law‑enforcement training fund.
Police staff and the city manager outlined examples of permissible uses for the city's share, including funding police vehicles, speed trailers, enhanced crosswalks and road markings. Commissioners requested that the city document and publish how revenues are spent so the public can see projects funded by speed‑camera receipts.
