[1:13] never District 2. Producer

[1:15] wrote check to see we have

[1:16] other council members that are

[1:24] signing up should coming. And

[1:28] know, the council members All

[1:29] right. We have a council

[1:30] members in the room actions

[1:31] Jamie Taurus. Was Denver

[1:35] district 3? Pause for a sex. I

[1:37] know we have 2 other council

[1:38] members that are trying to

[1:41] sign you sign on. I will

[1:42] announce and celebrate your

[1:44] participation. But until then

[1:45] we have 2 items on the agenda.

[1:52] We have a opposing Colorado

[1:56] Proposition 1, 3, Pro Good

[1:59] Givens on. It's good to one of

[2:01] my saying councilmember cent

[2:02] of all that we have an action

[2:06] item of ordinance amending

[2:07] automated vehicle

[2:08] identification system at a

[2:09] public hearing. Public

[2:10] comments today. But let's

[2:11] start first with a

[2:12] proclamation will turn over to

[2:15] parts of our colleagues. Good

[2:17] morning, everyone. So we don't

[2:18] have official for highs today.

[2:19] The proclamation is online. If

[2:22] you want to find it. But

[2:23] COUNCILMAN, the dollars that

[2:24] they had a son, talking about

[2:27] some of the state propositions

[2:28] that are on the ballot. And

[2:32] this one we felt needed action

[2:34] before city council because

[2:36] reach us and it's so

[2:38] detrimental to some of the

[2:39] people work that we do at City

[2:40] Council. So COUNCILMAN, could

[2:42] get us tonight with our

[2:45] advocates. We're taking a

[2:47] stance Prop 1, 3, 2, the

[2:47] fentanyl bill. And asking our

[2:50] colleagues to vote now on

[2:52] this. And so we're going to be

[2:52] steady mist and we'll be

[2:55] talking about this and the

[2:59] reasons why. According to our

[3:00] council mulls, when we're

[3:02] taking a stance on a state

[3:03] proposition on the state

[3:03] ballot initiative, we have to

[3:04] come to a committee and then

[3:07] take it to city council. Could

[3:07] normally proclamations don't

[3:08] come to committee just for the

[3:12] public are arguing, but it's

[3:12] our council rules that when we

[3:14] taking a stance, ballot

[3:17] measure that we come to

[3:17] committee and have a

[3:18] discussion. So instead of

[3:20] power point, we just actually

[3:21] wanted to sit around the table

[3:22] and talk about what we thought

[3:23] about this bill and why we're

[3:25] asking now and pass it over to

[3:28] protect. Thank you. Council

[3:29] incentive. Also if anyone is

[3:31] curious to know what is in the

[3:33] in the proclamation is in

[3:34] Legistar under health and

[3:36] safety right now and then it

[3:38] will be therefore, next

[3:40] Tuesday when we bring it to

[3:43] the full And I am grateful be

[3:44] able to partner with

[3:46] COUNCILMAN Sandoval and I know

[3:47] we've had some conversations

[3:48] one-on-one with many council

[3:51] members about this You know,

[3:52] as counsel in Sandoval stated,

[3:52] there's a number of measures

[3:54] that are being brought

[3:58] forward. It's really number

[3:59] that are being brought forward

[4:04] by a particular group that is

[4:06] trending somewhat dean. The

[4:07] system really bringing for

[4:09] these types of policies

[4:09] without actually doing

[4:12] mistake, holding doing the

[4:15] work that is required through

[4:16] legislative process. And so

[4:17] it's really important that

[4:20] look at these things with

[4:21] that. The Kenai of are they is

[4:23] this causing more harm to our

[4:25] community. Are these types of

[4:25] measures that could

[4:27] potentially cause more harm

[4:30] rather actually help? There

[4:33] been already lots laws passed

[4:35] to address issues as it

[4:37] relates to drug addiction and

[4:40] fentanyl. And some of those,

[4:41] you know, people agreement to

[4:43] some of them, they don't. But

[4:43] what we do know is we want to

[4:45] make sure that people are

[4:45] being able to access the help

[4:48] that they need when they need

[4:49] it. And so this does not

[4:50] provide an avenue for that.

[4:53] And so that is why and we see

[4:55] it is important for city

[4:58] council to take a that

[5:00] Sullivan just read one of the

[5:02] sections said that provides

[5:03] clarity Section one. It says

[5:05] that the Denver City Council

[5:07] formally opposes Proposition

[5:11] 1, 3, 2, because it would

[5:12] impose mandatory minimum

[5:13] sentences reduced judicial

[5:15] discretion because fails to

[5:17] provide a balanced informed

[5:18] approach necessary to address

[5:21] Colorado spent fentanyl crisis

[5:23] effectively. So that pretty

[5:24] much sums up why we're taking

[5:26] a stance on this is we feel I

[5:28] judge should have discretion.

[5:30] We feel that that is part of

[5:34] the judicial system and this

[5:34] would take away that likely

[5:37] informed decision that judges

[5:38] have back to. MISTER Thank you

[5:42] so much. Council members for

[5:44] pre-game this board. And we

[5:45] have to be key that starting

[5:46] out. Start first Councilmember

[5:47] Torres and council PRESIDENT

[5:51] For Mayor account. Thank you,

[5:53] MISTER Chair. Thanks to both.

[5:54] Fully supportive of the

[5:58] proclamation might think when

[6:01] it's come up and move also

[6:01] described it as unfunded

[6:05] mandate for local

[6:06] jurisdictions and when we've

[6:07] got sheriff's department has

[6:13] only an 65 percent workforce

[6:16] capacity, puts a strain on our

[6:17] jail system in a way that is

[6:20] neither helpful too. What's

[6:23] happening out in or 2. The

[6:24] system that's prepared needs

[6:27] to prepared to respond to it.

[6:28] So I don't appreciate that

[6:34] about the proposal either. To

[6:35] support the problem. The

[6:37] problem going make you think

[6:39] you thank you so much.

[6:40] Councilmember Torres welcome

[6:43] to the Councilmember Cashman,

[6:47] PRESIDENT. Remember, Campbell,

[6:48] thank you. I just wanted to

[6:50] say thank you to the sponsors

[6:51] for bringing this forward. I

[6:52] think it's really important

[6:55] and I'm glad that it's doing

[6:55] so I've signed on in

[6:58] opposition to the in

[7:04] opposition to this. She did.

[7:05] On the ballot. But I really do

[7:07] think as was stated before,

[7:07] you know, the proposition

[7:09] doesn't reduce fentanyl usage.

[7:14] Investing. And I just think

[7:15] there's so many other things

[7:17] that we could be investing in

[7:20] like education prevention

[7:22] treatment. And and it doesn't

[7:24] just criminalizes are

[7:24] vulnerable are most

[7:25] vulnerable. And I think that

[7:30] it's I believe there's a part

[7:32] of their that is subject

[7:34] people to mandatory private

[7:36] prison sentence of like 32

[7:36] years. There's just some

[7:37] really egregious things in

[7:40] proposition. And so I just am

[7:41] fully supportive of this

[7:44] moving forward. And I think

[7:44] that it's, you know, it's our

[7:48] job to be able to think about

[7:49] what is in the public good.

[7:50] And I think that this just

[7:52] will harm our community. So

[7:53] I'm fully supported and thank

[7:56] you for bringing this forward.

[7:58] Thank you. Council PRESIDENT

[8:00] Ken Summer Cashman. Thank you.

[8:03] And presentation today. But we

[8:05] talked about this. I'm very

[8:08] familiar what the process 32

[8:10] trying to do. And haters gonna

[8:14] people who need support know

[8:15] behavior and need programs

[8:20] that are actually going ease

[8:25] their pain and What definitely

[8:27] societal problem right now.

[8:28] One 32 is not the way it's

[8:31] going to take care of. Thank

[8:32] you for what you're looking

[8:34] forward Thank you so much.

[8:35] Councilmember Cashman

[8:36] knowledgeable. Wait to see

[8:36] about the council members join

[8:38] the queue. But I just wanted

[8:40] to share. Council members

[8:43] extremely timely. I received

[8:48] the email right the committee

[8:50] meeting It was probably one of

[8:52] general improvement districts

[8:54] involved Park. I know many of

[8:59] you. So the folks who are were

[9:00] on 21st Street where there

[9:07] quite open drug use. It going

[9:10] on 20st street this morning.

[9:11] There were 2 individuals that

[9:15] had to be revived by our

[9:20] ambassadors on the overdosed

[9:24] state mandate without funding

[9:26] does nothing to in this

[9:27] situation. The first thing is

[9:31] folks who are dying on our

[9:34] streets are being perpetrated

[9:35] against by predators. There

[9:37] are drug dealers who are

[9:38] impacting the lives of our own

[9:40] house communities and other

[9:44] folks on our streets. If there

[9:46] is a bill to target

[9:47] specifically to folks who are

[9:48] actually causing the harm,

[9:51] start family on the streets.

[9:51] That would make sense. This

[9:55] bill is broad. It has a wide

[9:56] net of impacts and most likely

[9:58] the folks who are going to be

[10:02] caught up in art, the folks

[10:07] who are a part of being a a

[10:10] criminalized because of these

[10:12] predators. And it is also an

[10:16] unfunded mandate are a city

[10:19] cannot afford to enforce what

[10:20] the state is asking of us. And

[10:20] so for those 2 steps and for

[10:24] neighbors who are fed up with

[10:25] 2 of you said were saying

[10:28] we've got to do something this

[10:29] bill from my perspective is

[10:30] not the right thing. I think

[10:32] within the city and county of

[10:36] Denver judicial discretion

[10:36] provided the opportunity for

[10:37] us to really go after the

[10:39] folks who are creating and the

[10:42] disharmony are street more so

[10:42] than simply the folks who are

[10:45] using is where our dollars

[10:49] are. Our compassion is most

[10:49] fit. And so I will be

[10:53] supporting this proclamation

[10:56] and to community members were

[10:58] faced with these issues on a

[11:02] daily basis of ballpark and in

[11:02] 5 points, look forward

[11:04] engaging with un discussions

[11:05] on this. But this bill is not

[11:08] the right move. And so the

[11:08] support of the sponsors of my

[11:11] colleagues with this

[11:13] proclamation. Thank And just

[11:15] for the publics watching our

[11:16] council of us. We do take

[11:17] action or proclamation. Our

[11:18] council we have to have a

[11:20] discussion in committee when

[11:23] we're taking a stand on ballot

[11:27] measure. So will be provided

[11:28] We need this proclamation at

[11:30] 5.30, on Tuesday. Cause

[11:31] Monday's Indigenous Peoples

[11:33] Day, which also seems fitting

[11:34] because those are the most

[11:36] harm our people of color. And

[11:37] the next day after that on

[11:39] Tuesday, when we have our city

[11:41] council meeting will be

[11:42] reading the proclamation at

[11:42] 5.30 So we welcome anyone to

[11:45] join us at 5.30, on Tuesday.

[11:46] Thank you. Thank MARCH, all

[11:48] right? Look around rule for

[11:51] any additional questions.

[11:52] Comments from council seeing

[11:55] none. Thank you so much. All

[11:56] pro tem want talk terrorists.

[11:58] Thank you so much.

[11:58] Councilmember cent of move to

[12:01] the next agenda item will

[12:04] provide an opportunity

[12:08] transition of for action

[12:09] ordinance. Amending the

[12:09] automated vehicle

[12:11] identification system on this

[12:13] is item with public comment.

[12:16] So we have members of the

[12:17] public to sign up for public

[12:20] comment. Once the presentation

[12:21] concludes will move to public

[12:23] and then to city Council

[12:24] questions call then we'll move

[12:27] to another action. And I'll

[12:30] share that. What's the public

[12:31] comments concludes we've been

[12:31] asked to postpone a vote from

[12:35] council on this ordinance onto

[12:38] a date next Wednesday. And so

[12:39] we'll put forward that motion

[12:40] that require people by council

[12:43] members to postpone the actual

[12:46] vote by council on this until

[12:47] Wednesday. So with that, I'll

[12:51] turn it over to the team to Cs

[12:54] introduce members your

[12:54] colleagues had around the

[13:32] Angela. All Good morning,

[13:34] everyone. Thank you for being

[13:38] here As you can see, this is a

[13:39] group effort. This interagency

[13:42] effort. We have the ceo's

[13:44] office study aci and from a

[13:47] dvd. And I just want to thank

[13:48] everyone for all the effort

[13:49] and thanked Putin up to this

[13:52] point. And so I want to start

[13:53] before we jump in, I just want

[13:54] to take a moment and talk

[13:56] about, well, look why we're

[13:57] here. Traffic safety is a

[13:58] citywide public safety and

[14:02] public health issue. And we

[14:03] all have a response of

[14:06] responsibility to make Denver

[14:08] streets safer in 2025. 94

[14:10] people died on our streets

[14:11] working in historic here

[14:14] Denver for fetal for traffic

[14:15] related deaths earlier this

[14:16] year. Community members

[14:20] gathered outside this building

[14:20] to remember those lives and to

[14:24] call for safer streets. Their

[14:25] concern remains as a version

[14:28] today as it was done just a

[14:29] few hours ago, students and

[14:31] parents in Park Hill bike to

[14:33] school advocating for safer

[14:35] streets. We recognize the

[14:36] approach to traffic. Safety

[14:39] requires different

[14:41] perspectives, education,

[14:42] engineering and enforcement

[14:43] and your feedback girl,

[14:45] critical components, traffic

[14:47] safety before you is the

[14:48] framework that Denver needs to

[14:50] align our ordinance, which

[14:52] state law, we will continue to

[14:55] work with dpd Dundee and the

[14:56] city's equity team to

[14:59] carefully and thoughtfully

[14:59] resolve the finer points of

[15:00] implementation and operation

[15:02] of this program. Every step we

[15:04] take to slow drivers down can

[15:05] help to ensure that everyone

[15:06] makes it home safely. Thank

[15:16] you. So to start today the

[15:16] definition of a vis, vis

[15:20] automated vehicle

[15:21] identification systems here in

[15:24] Denver, this type of

[15:24] technology coverage, speed

[15:27] cameras and red-light cameras

[15:28] to automated speed enforcement

[15:29] has been used in Denver to

[15:31] improve traffic safety since

[15:34] 1998. The Red Light program

[15:36] has been in operation since

[15:37] and force just for some

[15:39] context. There's about 20

[15:40] states currently using

[15:42] red-light camera speed cameras

[15:46] for a combination of both even

[15:47] technology also includes any

[15:48] camera system that can be used

[15:50] to detect a spy plane

[15:52] violations as well as cameras

[15:53] that detect when a driver

[15:56] illegally pass a school bus.

[15:57] With stop sign in red lights.

[16:03] Turn there are 2 main types of

[16:03] the technology. There's a big

[16:07] stand in the Louisville

[16:08] thanks. Karen's replace

[16:10] high-risk locations within any

[16:12] safety corridor. One of the

[16:13] key benefits this tax system

[16:18] is the game. They will to live

[16:19] or 24 7 enforcing in areas

[16:21] with historical persistence,

[16:23] speeding the other type of

[16:24] technology were planning on

[16:27] using his mobile eavis. And

[16:27] this technology is designed to

[16:29] be moved to within Avis

[16:31] corridor so that we can

[16:33] respond to data over community

[16:35] complaints, pastor and have a

[16:38] better effect on slowing And

[16:43] as you as you know, mean, it's

[16:43] speeding portion in red light

[16:44] camera technology is governed

[16:47] by state law. Our proposed to

[16:48] be this ordinance presents a

[16:51] significant change in response

[16:53] in response to Senate Bill.

[16:55] 152. That passed in JUNE. The

[16:57] new state law expands has

[16:59] cities in Colorado can this

[17:01] technology and it provides

[17:02] requirements around

[17:03] implementation and how the

[17:06] system can operate. Senate

[17:08] Bill 152 went into effect in

[17:10] AUGUST of this year and before

[17:11] we can expand portion, we're

[17:13] launching technology in

[17:18] Denver. Must update chapter 54

[17:18] of Denver's revising this the

[17:21] proposal that you have before

[17:21] you aligns demmer with the

[17:23] state law when it comes to

[17:25] this technology and now going

[17:27] to hand it over to Raul

[17:28] Phising or with Saudi to talk

[17:30] about and the city's Vision 0

[17:31] and how aligns with what we're

[17:34] doing with automated traffic

[17:35] enforcement says Good Morning

[17:36] Committee members. My name is

[17:38] Rolfe facing or unmanaged

[17:38] Embers Vision, 0 initiative

[17:41] within the Department of

[17:42] Transportation infrastructure.

[17:43] With the goal of eliminating

[17:44] all transportation related

[17:46] fatalities and serious

[17:48] injuries. Updating this

[17:50] ordinance is one key action

[17:51] the city can take to address

[17:53] key to key safety behaviors,

[17:55] speeding and red light

[17:57] running. It focuses these

[17:58] medications where they're

[17:59] needed the most, including

[18:02] Denver's high injury network,

[18:03] other high crash corridors and

[18:05] where some of our most

[18:06] vulnerable roadway users are

[18:10] school zones and work zones.

[18:11] Shared responsibility as core

[18:13] principle of the safe system

[18:14] approach. People have

[18:15] responsibility to operate as a

[18:19] translation system was

[18:20] designed. The department's

[18:21] here today share the

[18:22] responsibility to create a

[18:24] safe transportation system. He

[18:25] this is one of those tools we

[18:28] can use to fulfill that

[18:34] responsibility. Next slide.

[18:37] Denver pledge Vision 0 in 2016

[18:39] adopted Vision 0 through its

[18:42] first action plan. In 2017, we

[18:43] use the safe system approach

[18:43] as a road map for reaching

[18:48] Vision. 0. Denver currently

[18:50] experiences transportation

[18:53] deaths per 100,000 people

[18:55] below the national average 11

[18:58] months. But our goal real. So

[19:00] far this year, 49 lives have

[19:03] been lost on Denver's roadways

[19:05] down from 58 at this time last

[19:07] year. That's about a 16%

[19:10] increase while that shows

[19:12] moving in the right direction.

[19:15] Life lost matters. And we have

[19:15] significant work ahead of us.

[19:26] Still. Let's talk about speed.

[19:27] Actually wasn't a topic talk

[19:29] much about until recently and

[19:32] gained traction at the

[19:34] national level to research

[19:36] done by the Federal Highway

[19:38] Administration. Why speed

[19:39] matters is because it directly

[19:41] affects the amount of kinetic

[19:42] energy involved in a crash and

[19:43] the human body can only

[19:47] understand so much force as

[19:49] speed increases, crash energy

[19:50] and the risk of death and

[19:52] serious injury increases

[19:54] dramatically at around 20

[19:58] miles per hour. Roughly 9 out

[19:58] of 10 pedestrians would

[20:00] survive a crash after being

[20:03] struck. That's why managing

[20:04] speed is fundamental to the

[20:08] safe system approach. We use

[20:09] away or to safety approach to

[20:10] help people travel at safer

[20:12] speeds and ensure that

[20:13] inevitable mistakes don't

[20:16] result in someone killed or

[20:16] seriously injured. Now hand it

[20:17] back over Angela. Thanks for

[20:20] all of Here's a quick snapshot

[20:22] of what our I mean. It person

[20:26] looks like today. Denver

[20:29] police currently operate for

[20:30] fixed red-light cameras at key

[20:31] intersections. You see those

[20:32] intersections on your screen

[20:33] along with 5 mobile speed

[20:36] vans. Both of these programs

[20:39] serve as a force multiplier,

[20:41] giving us portion offering up

[20:44] our officers for other public

[20:45] safety For next slide for

[20:47] office. Going to talk about

[20:48] the 5 pillars of the safe

[20:51] system approach here in

[20:52] Denver. Yes, a reference

[20:54] before the safest approach has

[20:56] 5 pillars and is layering of

[20:58] these elements. Help prevent a

[20:59] crash from resulting in death

[21:03] or serious injury developed by

[21:05] Federal Highway

[21:06] Administration. It serves as

[21:08] our road map for reaching

[21:09] missions cspd's. We talked a

[21:10] little bit about this just a

[21:12] moment ago is one of those

[21:15] elements because speed effects

[21:17] both crash frequency and

[21:18] severity. Think of it this way

[21:20] as speeds don't people be

[21:20] action. Time doubles and

[21:23] stopping distance quadruples

[21:25] other elements include safe

[21:27] roads. The way we design our

[21:29] streets safe people such as

[21:31] people wearing seat belts

[21:33] other ways they're operating

[21:35] how the roadway is designed

[21:36] safe vehicles like our direct

[21:37] addition, vehicles or other

[21:38] safety features in vehicles

[21:42] today post crash care

[21:44] regarding how quickly

[21:45] emergency services can access

[21:49] a crash to prevent a secondary

[21:50] crash and a rapid response

[21:51] program that reviews all

[21:52] traffic fatalities that

[21:58] happen. And now and about

[21:59] torrential. All right. This

[22:02] lane to to overview of what's

[22:03] changing with the proposed

[22:04] ordinance. Article one defines

[22:06] a Bivens sunset to

[22:08] implementation rules and

[22:10] designates 48 total enforcing

[22:12] corridors. This includes 38

[22:12] streets that are maintained by

[22:14] Denver and 10 state routes.

[22:17] There are maintained by cdot

[22:19] article Article 3 establishes

[22:21] a timeline for mailing out

[22:22] violations it creates a 45

[22:25] administrative hearing

[22:27] process. Article 6, 7, create

[22:29] a new penalty structure

[22:31] specifically for automated

[22:31] enforcement. And finally,

[22:34] Article 15 establishes the

[22:37] legal liability for vehicle

[22:39] owners and Alliance Denver's

[22:40] vendor payment structure with

[22:42] state law. Now I'd like to

[22:45] talk briefly about updated

[22:46] definitions. This proposed

[22:47] ordinance establishes that

[22:49] Davis is a civil traffic

[22:49] safety tool designed to

[22:53] prevent crashes t it

[22:54] authorizes automated detection

[22:57] and enforce enforce civil

[22:58] traffic violations. This

[22:59] includes speeding, red-light,

[23:00] running bus and bike lane

[23:02] obstructions illegally passing

[23:07] stopped school buses. Bus. I

[23:09] just want to take a little bit

[23:12] to talk about vicinity lp and

[23:15] that be a completely different

[23:16] tools. This important

[23:17] specifically excludes license

[23:18] plate reader systems from the

[23:22] definition of a vis by

[23:22] passing. This ordinance

[23:24] Council only taking action on

[23:27] a traffic safety enforcement,

[23:28] not anything really detailed

[23:30] pr to technology. You can see

[23:34] the specific language on in

[23:37] the red line document that you

[23:37] all have on page one line, 3,

[23:40] 3, under chapter. 54. Now I'm

[23:41] going to have the city

[23:43] attorney's office pecan, the

[23:44] implementation of some and

[23:45] some of the requirements that

[23:48] are outlined in the new

[23:49] ordinance. Thanks, Angela, I'm

[23:52] going to talk to all 3 about

[23:54] implementation of a So

[23:55] whatever the city implements a

[23:59] new Avis, it has to. I wish it

[23:59] on its website and social

[24:02] media for 30 days and also has

[24:03] to signed the location where

[24:08] new Davis student statute and

[24:10] now the ordinance talk about

[24:11] permissible locations and

[24:12] actual as mentioned. Those

[24:15] already. Include zones, school

[24:19] zones, streets adjacent to

[24:20] parks, also includes

[24:22] designating a bus corridors.

[24:23] And the way we designate it

[24:26] was corridors we have to back

[24:29] up those locations with 5

[24:30] years worth of quantitative

[24:35] data. That includes. History

[24:39] of crashes, speeding and of

[24:45] course, Nicholas Driving. And

[24:47] so we can also use community

[24:52] complaints to help support the

[24:55] quantitative data. And once

[24:59] activate a new corridor, we

[25:01] have an annual reporting

[25:08] requirement and so we have to

[25:10] post on our which includes the

[25:12] number of citations that were

[25:12] issued and the revenue that

[25:14] has been generated by the name

[25:17] citations. And so the proposed

[25:19] ordinance before you has a

[25:21] list of corridors which

[25:24] tightened proposing an

[25:27] actually there are 42 city and

[25:28] county of Denver streets and

[25:29] and like cashless sent 10

[25:32] locations that are a lot state

[25:35] highways and those corridors

[25:36] there along state highways

[25:38] also have be approved by the

[25:41] state of Colorado. And pass it

[25:43] back management to talk to you

[25:45] about high country that works.

[25:48] All right. Thank you, During

[25:50] the recent Vision, 0 action

[25:52] plan updates. We updated our

[25:55] high injury network, the high

[25:56] entry a network represents

[25:58] only about 5% of Denver

[26:01] roadways yet so streets

[26:03] account for 56% of crashes and

[26:05] roughly half of all traffic

[26:07] fatalities. 6, those on the

[26:09] interstate. The data tells us

[26:11] that a relatively small

[26:13] portion of our city Street

[26:14] network account for a

[26:16] disproportionate share of

[26:17] serious crashes, which helps

[26:20] us focus our resources and

[26:20] interventions where they have

[26:22] the greatest impact no handed

[26:27] over to him. So this here

[26:28] shows the proposed corridors

[26:31] of overlaid with the council

[26:34] district boundaries. Every

[26:35] propose quarter was selected

[26:36] using data on crashes,

[26:39] speeding and reckless driving.

[26:41] This map highlights village, a

[26:42] orders where automated

[26:43] enforcement is allowed. It

[26:44] does not mean cameras will be

[26:46] installed at every

[26:48] intersection. We want to be

[26:50] very intentional about where

[26:50] we place the cameras so that

[26:51] we're having the biggest

[26:54] impact. Every dusing speeds.

[26:56] Also important to remember

[26:57] that most speed cameras can

[26:59] only monitor traffic in a

[27:00] single direction across

[27:03] specifically And now I'm going

[27:04] to turn means he can talk to

[27:05] you about the even some

[27:07] percent. Thanks, Angela. So

[27:09] when it comes to enforcement,

[27:13] there are several. Processees

[27:15] that the city has to go to.

[27:18] First. One once he was the tax

[27:20] violation we need to send a

[27:23] notice of violation to the

[27:25] registered owner of vehicle

[27:31] and that. Notice of violation

[27:32] pass contain certain

[27:34] information has to contain the

[27:37] name and address of the

[27:38] registered the license plate

[27:39] number of the Motor vehicle

[27:41] date time and location of the

[27:43] violation and the amount of

[27:45] the civil penalty also has to

[27:48] provide with information about

[27:52] how to dispute the alleged

[27:54] violation. Typically the

[27:55] timeline is 45 If they fail to

[27:57] either pay the citation. Laura

[28:01] Peel the citation, the city

[28:04] can issue civil penalty

[28:06] assessment. Notice and if

[28:10] still failed to pay, in the

[28:13] city can issue a final order

[28:16] of liability. That final order

[28:18] of liability can be appealed

[28:20] by the registered owner to the

[28:24] county other option the city

[28:26] is to personal collections

[28:27] action. But collections

[28:29] actions cannot be proceed

[28:31] unless the notice of violation

[28:35] or the final order personally

[28:39] served. The alleged are on the

[28:40] registered Also note that

[28:40] there is no reporting

[28:41] requirement to the Division of

[28:46] Motor Vehicle. Past back All

[28:47] right. So here you'll see that

[28:49] Denver's proposed fines. These

[28:50] are generally in alignment

[28:52] with state law fines have been

[28:57] set to change behavior. We

[28:57] also recognize that there are

[28:59] a lot of factors that

[29:00] contribute to 3 fluctuations

[29:01] in speed, including red,

[29:03] white, real we design and

[29:05] routine and adjustments as

[29:07] you're driving. We believe

[29:08] that these fines are

[29:08] reasonable and are not

[29:11] excessive overly punitive

[29:12] throughout this process, which

[29:15] is continuing. We have been in

[29:17] discussions with Di Di di

[29:18] piano sci on how to have an

[29:21] approach to a penalties that

[29:22] strikes a reasonable balance

[29:24] to achieve our traffic safety

[29:25] objectives. We want to ensure

[29:26] we're following best practices

[29:30] while also recognizing that

[29:31] these finds no matter how

[29:31] large or small can impact

[29:36] families very differently.

[29:38] This takes table gives us some

[29:40] context to the current fees

[29:41] associated with the traffic

[29:43] stop conducted by dpd officer

[29:45] speeding. These traditional

[29:48] traffic stops carry higher

[29:49] fines, starting at about $60

[29:49] and could increase to a

[29:52] mandatory court appearance

[29:54] with a fine of nearly $1000.

[29:56] If you're speeding more than

[29:59] 25 miles over the posted limit

[30:01] by comparison, the state has

[30:03] intentionally made it this

[30:04] penalty substantially And

[30:06] again, Davis planes are

[30:08] symbols. They are not reported

[30:11] to the dmv and they're not

[30:14] added to your criminal in this

[30:18] next slide sections. 54 Dash

[30:21] 4.67, or 68. We talk about 2

[30:23] The fines for non speeding

[30:24] violations and the fines for a

[30:25] legally over taking the school

[30:29] bus. Under the proposed

[30:31] ordinance running a red light

[30:32] for blocking a dedicated bus

[30:35] or bike lane carries a $75

[30:37] fine. Ordinance allows the

[30:38] city would come will to

[30:40] install cameras detect drivers

[30:41] who illegally pass a stopped

[30:44] bus when it's flashing red

[30:46] lights and the stop sign is

[30:48] extended. If the system

[30:49] captures this kind of event,

[30:53] it's $300 right to me. Didn't

[30:55] force meant be legal school

[30:56] bus passing and bike and bus

[30:58] lane violations are not

[30:59] currently contemplated our

[31:00] first phase of a vison

[31:01] forsman. We will consider

[31:04] those down the road. And

[31:05] finally, the ordinance says

[31:09] that vendors providing us for

[31:10] the this technology are only

[31:11] paid a fixed price for the

[31:14] equipment and services

[31:15] provided we are prohibited

[31:18] from taking any portion of

[31:19] revenue and sharing it with

[31:25] the The final section in the

[31:26] ordinance who want to talk

[31:28] about our sections. 54 Dash

[31:32] 38. 31 under the sections.

[31:32] Vehicle's registered owner, it

[31:33] is held responsible for the

[31:37] penalty. The sanctions also

[31:39] outline when a violation can

[31:40] be done to dismiss an example

[31:41] of those include the owner

[31:43] proving the vehicle was

[31:47] stolen, previously ticketed or

[31:51] if the is deceased. And

[31:52] finally, the ordinance in

[31:54] these 2 reaffirms the vendor

[31:54] payments are based on

[31:56] equipment and services that it

[31:57] provides. And there is never

[31:59] any revenue sharing with the

[32:02] vendor. So I like to hand it

[32:03] over to 2 Jamila to talk about

[32:06] the equity considerations. Hi

[32:07] once again, Jamal Bryant

[32:10] opponents, are she her? I

[32:11] think we need a person who's a

[32:15] minister sci. This is

[32:16] intentionally designed around

[32:17] equity, recognizing that

[32:18] historically underinvested

[32:20] neighborhoods often face

[32:21] higher rates of severe

[32:23] crashes, traffic injuries and

[32:26] traffic In addition to the

[32:29] quantitative noted to help

[32:31] inform Avis Quarter locations,

[32:33] collective interagency worked

[32:33] through the night at the maps

[32:34] process. What's map stands

[32:36] multi-agency plan and

[32:38] solutions processes has been

[32:40] used to explore qualitative

[32:41] data on neighborhoods to help

[32:44] inform names, locations as

[32:46] well. Rci is continuing our

[32:47] partnership with Donny West to

[32:48] ensure that cameras function

[32:50] as a safety tool. Why

[32:54] violating equity impacts to

[32:55] form implementation, including

[32:56] affordability options for

[32:58] residents from lower-income

[33:00] backgrounds. We want to

[33:00] reiterate that the quarters

[33:01] are selected by crashing or

[33:05] and distributed equitably

[33:07] across to him or to prevent

[33:08] over concentrating cameras in

[33:10] any single neighborhood or

[33:12] council district last but not

[33:15] least department safety, dpd,

[33:16] Dottie. In ci, we will

[33:18] continuously monitor the

[33:19] program to prevent unintended

[33:20] harm to ensure fairness. And

[33:24] I'll pass it back to Angela.

[33:24] Thank you. When finally, I'd

[33:25] like to go over the next

[33:28] steps. Right now we're

[33:28] operating under the city's

[33:31] Vision, 0 and speed program.

[33:32] And today we're seeking

[33:33] council approval on the ground

[33:34] draft ordinance. Once we have

[33:36] that, we'll continue our work.

[33:40] Which includes. Providing an

[33:43] operations plan around the

[33:44] implementation marketing

[33:46] communications, community

[33:48] engagement and equity. And

[33:48] these will all come before you

[33:51] in que for of 2026. We expect

[33:53] that by the 1st quarter in

[33:56] 2027. We will begin deployment

[33:57] of the this technology to

[34:00] start enforce Mont. That is

[34:02] contingent on getting the

[34:02] equipment insulation and

[34:05] working with cdot on state

[34:08] maintained roads. And then

[34:11] finally, mentioned before,

[34:12] huge 4, 2027 will present the

[34:12] program evaluation that's

[34:15] outlined in the ordinance

[34:15] about revenues and total

[34:18] numbers of citation. It's

[34:20] huge. Finally, your questions

[34:23] and perspectives are important

[34:23] and will help shape the future

[34:26] of this program. Our police

[34:28] officers, firefighters,

[34:30] paramedics and hospital staff.

[34:31] See the tragic realities of

[34:34] speeding every day creating

[34:37] safer streets in Denver

[34:40] requires a combination of the

[34:42] education, spire engineering,

[34:42] inconsistent enforcement. And

[34:44] so with that, I'd like to take

[34:47] your questions. Thank you so

[34:48] much, team. Thank you so much,

[34:51] Angela. The entire group for

[34:55] providing this background

[34:56] information we do have public

[34:58] signed up for today. We have 2

[34:59] speakers that are signed up

[35:03] for public comment for

[35:04] committee meeting. Individuals

[35:06] who are in person will come up

[35:12] and speak at the mic here the

[35:13] committee room and all they

[35:17] will have 2 whether not post

[35:18] it on the screen. Again, the

[35:18] signals to folks to know when

[35:21] time is running out. Once the

[35:23] committee of the public

[35:25] comment concludes, that will

[35:26] open up for questions and

[35:29] answers City Council member.

[35:33] So the today and goes without

[35:34] saying we encourage

[35:39] individuals to stay to the the

[35:41] item that's before to You are

[35:44] time to speak just on that

[35:46] issue and not directly to any

[35:48] individuals or specific city

[35:51] council members. So with that,

[35:53] turn it over to our first

[35:54] Speaker jail will come. Floor

[35:59] is yours for 2 minutes. Thank

[36:00] you. Good morning. Angela

[36:00] Country, the executive

[36:02] director of the Denver streets

[36:04] Partnership. I'm here today to

[36:05] express strong support for

[36:06] expanded use of automated

[36:10] enforcement for speeding bus

[36:10] and bike lane violations. And

[36:12] of course, passing school

[36:15] buses illegally. I also

[36:17] strongly urge City Council to

[36:18] invest the revenues from

[36:20] automated enforcement into the

[36:20] transportation and mobility.

[36:23] Special Revenue Fund so that

[36:26] that money can be used for

[36:27] multi-modal and safe streets

[36:27] improvements as well as the

[36:30] ongoing management of the

[36:31] enforcement program. Automated

[36:35] enforcement is a proven cost

[36:37] efficient method for reducing

[36:37] crashes and improving safety

[36:41] outcomes on our streets. It's

[36:42] less prone to bias and it

[36:44] avoids unnecessary conflict

[36:45] between officer initiated

[36:47] enforcement and community

[36:49] members. In addition to speed

[36:51] management as the city

[36:52] continues to build out

[36:55] dedicated bus and bike lanes,

[36:56] preventing drivers from

[36:57] violating that space is

[36:59] essential for achieving the

[37:01] intended outcome of that new

[37:02] infrastructure of actually

[37:03] making it safer and easier for

[37:04] people to get around without

[37:08] driving. Denver's first Vision

[37:11] 0 plan, which was adopted in

[37:12] 2017, specifically called for

[37:14] the use of automated

[37:15] enforcement as part of a

[37:17] comprehensive speed management

[37:18] plan with the target

[37:22] implementation date of 2019.

[37:22] Hundreds of people have been

[37:26] killed since that deadline has

[37:27] past. And it's well past time

[37:28] for the city to fill on that

[37:31] commitment. The 2017 Vision, 0

[37:34] action plan also recognize

[37:34] that ultimately the most

[37:35] effective way to prevent

[37:36] serious injuries and

[37:39] fatalities is to street

[37:41] designs that reinforced safe

[37:42] speeds and therefore reduce or

[37:45] even eliminate the need for

[37:46] enforcement altogether. The

[37:47] 2017 planned there for also

[37:51] called for, quote, City

[37:53] Council to modify code to

[37:54] reinvest revenue generated

[37:55] from automated enforcement

[37:56] into safe routes to school and

[37:58] vision, 0 projects and

[38:00] programs. This action was also

[38:03] supposed to be initiated by

[38:07] 2019. Today Council has a

[38:08] simple mechanism storms. Yes,

[38:10] you for final statement, ok?

[38:13] Can I really wasn't council

[38:15] has a simple mechanism for

[38:16] allocating Adam enforcement

[38:17] revenues to safe streets

[38:19] improvements by directing them

[38:20] into the transportation

[38:22] ability. Special Revenue fund

[38:23] and ensuring that fund is used

[38:28] for its intended purpose.

[38:28] Thank so much Next up, we have

[38:32] testing out I believe your

[38:37] virtual good to see The floor

[38:38] is yours. You want to see as

[38:40] many, less than the anonymous

[38:41] pedestrian dignity, Korda

[38:41] nicer and a member of the

[38:44] Denver Bicycle. Love me. I'm

[38:46] not looking for a livable.

[38:47] Welcome communities as Thank

[38:48] you for opportunity to speak

[38:51] here today because di pilato

[38:52] people's ability to move

[38:53] safely independently

[38:55] unsustainably inner city. I

[38:57] also Caroline Furnace and

[39:00] justice, as you know, on save

[39:01] drivers speeds and other

[39:02] dangerous behaviors leading

[39:03] cause of severe and fatal

[39:07] crashes, including the number

[39:07] speed and red-light cameras

[39:10] have been shown to be one

[39:10] effective in less biased

[39:11] enforcement strategy to

[39:14] address these behaviors. I see

[39:16] a high need to educate your

[39:17] constituents in the difference

[39:18] between to vehicle

[39:21] identification system. Cameras

[39:22] 8, license plate readers and

[39:25] to ensure much-needed

[39:26] automated enforcement is being

[39:29] used for intended purpose,

[39:29] reducing unsafe traffic speeds

[39:31] and keeping community safe.

[39:32] The should be the ongoing

[39:34] stated goal. The fire that

[39:36] build community trust. These

[39:40] can see there. Sorry, I lost

[39:44] my place here. He's going the

[39:47] directing any fines collected

[39:47] to really signing babies could

[39:48] do to prioritize people,

[39:52] safety and accessibility. Says

[39:54] the casing cities across the

[39:55] country, the Denver streets

[39:56] with the most dangerous to

[39:58] signs on high a severe crash

[39:58] rates are frequently located

[40:02] in his disadvantaged

[40:02] neighborhoods. These

[40:03] communities are also more

[40:06] likely be located near

[40:06] urban highways, nbc arterial

[40:07] streets that encourage

[40:10] dangerous driving behavior and

[40:11] we want it to streets designed

[40:13] for safety and accessibility.

[40:15] The we have failed to

[40:16] meaningfully invest in

[40:17] addressing the root cause of

[40:18] dangerous driving behaviors

[40:20] and safe street to sign. But

[40:22] we have an opportunity to do

[40:24] these now by ensuring the

[40:25] transportation and mobility,

[40:26] Special Revenue Fund is used

[40:29] its intended purpose. We

[40:31] should move forward by quickly

[40:33] installing fix systems that

[40:36] will quickly we expand our

[40:37] speed or red-light safety.

[40:38] Coming up. Program quickly

[40:39] will prevent additional

[40:40] traffic deaths and serious

[40:41] injures and be able to focus

[40:42] on a permanent solution that

[40:45] really makes a difference.

[40:46] Resigned in Denver streets to

[40:49] help us do the right thing

[40:50] when on a drive and to more

[40:50] importantly, keep our families

[40:55] safe. Thank you. Thank you so

[40:56] much. And the work that you're

[40:59] doing community, we do have a

[41:00] dish. No time because we're a

[41:01] little bit of head of time.

[41:02] Just looking at the folks in

[41:04] the audience to see if there's

[41:06] anyone would like step up and

[41:08] make a quick 2 minute comment

[41:09] or anyone that's online that

[41:12] was not able to sign for

[41:13] public comment. And I'll give

[41:14] a few seconds just to look

[41:15] around.

[41:24] Seeing no public comment has

[41:25] been that close them. Look,

[41:26] that's event. Producers

[41:27] communicating. There's anyone

[41:41] online. So thank you so much

[41:42] for your public comments and

[41:44] for providing information

[41:48] input into this important

[41:50] discussion. Open up for city

[41:52] Council questions and starting

[41:52] for some councilmember Torres

[41:56] and Councilmember Fleming

[41:58] COUNCILMAN Cashman, MR. Thank

[42:03] you all so much of then I I

[42:04] wasn't looking forward to My

[42:09] whole community has been

[42:10] anticipate they were going to

[42:14] start to see this rolled out

[42:16] Federal Boulevard Colfax and

[42:17] Alameda cut through the heart

[42:22] of District 3. We air really

[42:26] thanks, Austin and team to

[42:29] hearing about a new pedestrian

[42:30] crash on one of those

[42:32] corridors. And know it's

[42:35] typically because of speed. So

[42:41] this has no lateral support in

[42:43] my that have community members

[42:45] recommending locations for

[42:47] where cameras should be placed

[42:50] in district I know you're only

[42:50] doing it on then external

[42:54] corridors. Is that kind of a

[42:55] starting point? We don't

[42:59] intend to go internal to

[43:00] neighborhoods necessarily.

[43:03] We'll continue evaluate where

[43:04] the high speed is based on the

[43:05] data. But remember, we also

[43:07] have other tools that we can

[43:09] use on those other streets,

[43:11] including bands, the you know,

[43:13] the speed signs and other like

[43:15] a truck freight traffic

[43:17] operations. So there's other

[43:18] tools that we can then

[43:18] deployed other parts of the

[43:19] city that are not even scored

[43:23] Okay. Thank you with the

[43:24] difference. Can you share

[43:28] quickly difference between

[43:28] network. What you are right,

[43:31] that is that if escort or map.

[43:36] They're different small ways.

[43:37] Yeah, can you speak to that

[43:38] you high injury network came

[43:42] out of our Vision, 0 action

[43:42] plan and working with our

[43:46] partners, tpd, cetera, and

[43:48] departments safety osu,

[43:48] identifying that there are

[43:52] other corridors that had high

[43:53] numbers of serious bodily

[43:55] injuries and fatalities that

[43:57] were speed-related. So using

[43:59] that data, including a few

[43:59] other corridors that weren't

[44:00] initially thought when we so

[44:04] everything in the I injured at

[44:06] work map is included in a a

[44:06] vis goes a little bit beyond

[44:13] that. Thank you. The

[44:13] interesting we had a

[44:16] conversation in my briefing

[44:20] about the location of cameras,

[44:21] not necessarily be at

[44:22] intersections. I know not all

[44:25] intersections, but even at

[44:26] intersections because they

[44:27] might be more meant black or

[44:28] something like that is that is

[44:29] that the right when to

[44:37] describe Yeah, essentially, it

[44:38] depends on Dottie and our

[44:39] traffic cops team are

[44:42] currently doing a valuation.

[44:44] Ys. What we're finding is that

[44:47] the speeding happens on the

[44:50] approach light in some cases.

[44:51] And so that's why they're

[44:54] there would be some

[44:56] opportunity put the speed

[44:56] cameras for you get to know

[45:02] second we expect. Okay. I

[45:03] speed van like a see. Every

[45:04] time I go down First Avenue

[45:06] approaching Cherry Creek. I

[45:09] wanted that facts, right? I

[45:12] wanted has folks are coming

[45:13] off or the viaduct approaching

[45:15] burning where you're going for

[45:19] him 40, 50 miles an hour over

[45:20] the viaduct and hitting a 30

[45:24] mile an hour right there. And

[45:24] we've lost lives of those 2

[45:28] intersections of docks and and

[45:31] I was told we couldn't do that

[45:32] because of cdot. I want this

[45:37] to come through and I guess

[45:38] disappointed that it it will

[45:41] be proposed to be I I feel

[45:42] like the work that you guys

[45:45] and and that is Renea know

[45:45] there are other next steps

[45:49] that need to come. So I would

[45:50] have been supported coming

[45:51] through. Not sure if there

[45:55] specific concerns that were

[45:57] raised and why needed to stand

[45:57] committee or So I'll be

[45:59] interested in that

[46:00] clarification. The only other

[46:07] one that I have when put up

[46:07] cameras or require 2 or 3

[46:08] encroachment permits, are

[46:09] those going to be required for

[46:14] all the installation of these?

[46:15] Yeah, go through with the

[46:17] permit process and that

[46:18] turning, you know, either cdot

[46:23] will need to provide permit or

[46:24] and pending. House are

[46:26] deployed on our city streets

[46:26] will go through our comment

[46:29] process. Okay. I'm going to be

[46:30] determined. So it might be a 2

[46:33] or 3 might not We're not

[46:36] tracking a tier 3 at this

[46:38] time. More like it here to.

[46:40] But I think that will be

[46:41] fleshed out as determine where

[46:43] the cameras are coming, except

[46:44] her, ok, can somebody follow

[46:44] up with everything from you

[46:48] know that okay. Then equity? I

[46:51] just involvement. You're

[46:52] involved over a year ago when

[46:55] I got with Dottie on So and I

[46:58] can already tell you've

[46:59] already embedded some of the

[47:01] recommendations that were made

[47:04] at that time in side of the

[47:05] proposal. So I just really

[47:06] appreciate that. Thanks for

[47:10] staying Thank Thank you.

[47:11] Councilmember Councilmember

[47:15] Flynn, council members Thank

[47:15] MISTER Chair, appreciate it

[47:17] very much. And follow up on

[47:20] COUNCILMAN Torres. Could you

[47:25] provide for us what the

[47:26] calculations were for

[47:28] determining. These are the

[47:29] quarters where they will be

[47:32] placed. I understand what the

[47:39] were. Looking at the map and

[47:41] the curators about Evans

[47:43] Avenue, stopping westbound at

[47:44] federal rather than going all

[47:47] the way to shirt and and I

[47:47] know there's a little segment

[47:50] there. That's that's much

[47:52] lower speed. We just had an

[47:52] incident with a box truck

[47:54] slamming into a woman's house

[47:59] and Evans and she's out of her

[47:59] house for almost a year for

[48:05] repairs to be made. And So I I

[48:05] know it's not all

[48:06] complaint-driven. There has

[48:10] been history of crash, an

[48:11] injury and I'm wondering what

[48:12] are the rules to be able to

[48:14] expand that looking also at

[48:16] Jewel Avenue, which goes by to

[48:18] dps elementary schools. And

[48:20] while that's not air, so I'd

[48:24] like to understand better. The

[48:25] selection process or is

[48:27] there's a table that that has

[48:32] read, we calculated injuries

[48:34] speeds crashes that's and

[48:35] share it with the Council

[48:36] appreciate Number one do that.

[48:40] Yeah, yeah. Absolutely. Spend

[48:41] your control and then how many

[48:44] year. How many cameras do we

[48:47] think we're going have in this

[48:49] program? I think it really

[48:51] depends where thinking right

[48:53] now about 80. And that is a

[48:56] combination of the fixed and

[48:57] mobile cameras. But it really

[49:00] depends going to the

[49:03] contracting process cost

[49:04] that's where things. So what

[49:05] we are aiming for 80 at this

[49:08] time. Excellent. Thank you.

[49:12] Information to have. Do we

[49:13] know what the estimated cost

[49:15] of this program will be able

[49:16] where? Where is that? I'm

[49:19] better than the 27 budget that

[49:20] we're still working with the

[49:22] Department of Finance on. And

[49:23] that will be a part of our

[49:26] second round of briefings and

[49:27] the presentations that we

[49:32] bring forward in part 2. And

[49:34] I'm I'm assuming the cost

[49:35] includes the appeal process

[49:37] and how that will full for

[49:38] people who find something in

[49:41] the mail after, you what, how

[49:42] long after the incident

[49:43] occurs, they get something in

[49:47] mail that you were you were in

[49:48] 50 miles over the speed limit.

[49:49] This location on this date.

[49:51] The person scratching your out

[49:54] of it. What is the the tell me

[49:55] a little bit more about the

[49:58] appeal process that Well, I

[50:00] will tell you that all the

[50:03] costs include staffing

[50:06] includes the price of the

[50:06] cameras. Think it could

[50:07] include all the administrative

[50:09] costs to implement the

[50:12] program. And so as far as the

[50:14] appeal it's maybe would like

[50:15] to talk more to We also have

[50:16] windy Chien, the audience who

[50:22] who can go into more detail on

[50:23] the appeal process. Different

[50:25] because we went through this

[50:27] with most part. True star.

[50:28] Remember, we've got to restore

[50:33] them the online process. So

[50:33] hoping that we have some

[50:34] summer accommodation for

[50:37] folks. Thank you. Thank you.

[50:41] Council not based services and

[50:45] city for appeals of notices of

[50:50] violation. They are going to

[50:51] administrative appeals either

[50:52] to the chief of police or the

[50:53] manager of the Department of

[50:56] Transportation Infrastructure.

[51:01] The ordinance does talk about.

[51:04] Having administrative hearing.

[51:06] Officer designated to hear

[51:10] those appeals it's my

[51:13] understanding Dottie and dpd

[51:14] here still working out the

[51:16] logistics creating that

[51:19] process. And if you'll notice

[51:22] in the draft ordinance, there

[51:24] is there's process for

[51:29] rulemaking. And so I imagine

[51:30] that appeals process will be

[51:30] worked out and those rules and

[51:40] regulations. That's correct.

[51:41] Thank gentlemen, Councilmember

[51:42] Cashman and Pro Tem Gonzalez

[51:45] Gutierrez. Thank you, MR. Chen

[51:48] attention presentation looking

[51:54] forward to increasing students

[51:56] imposed fines for one to 5, 6,

[52:03] to 9 option to pose for movie

[52:07] makes system would be made by

[52:11] the chief of police along are

[52:12] covered up steam. I mean, I

[52:14] think at the end of the day we

[52:16] would we also will would be

[52:17] willing to hear feedback from

[52:20] all of you were taking into as

[52:21] he eyes recommendations. So

[52:25] it's a combination of several

[52:26] different. So a team that

[52:30] would literally end up on the

[52:32] Chiefs. Jessica, to address a

[52:33] $40. Fine. You know, I mean,

[52:34] setting the fines is what I

[52:36] meant is that we would set the

[52:37] findings with the combination

[52:39] of those folks playing in. You

[52:43] him, Sorry. Maybe

[52:47] misunderstood your questions.

[52:48] Yeah, I mean, like I say, if

[52:50] you want to go back to that

[52:58] slight Yeah, I mean, it's the

[52:59] one to 5, 6, time there's an

[53:06] option to issue a warning one

[53:08] on the team. Do we know And if

[53:09] that's still being decided,

[53:11] that's as well. I think he

[53:13] wanted to give ourselves the

[53:14] option issue warning and that

[53:16] the end, we will come with the

[53:20] final recommendation and our

[53:21] operations plan issue that

[53:26] almost have a jobs a lot of

[53:27] people pointing. Chief Thomas.

[53:29] Does that mean someone wants

[53:32] to to speak to think you're

[53:33] right. I want to push it and

[53:35] something that I was placed on

[53:37] the slide for the

[53:39] presentation. My preference

[53:42] honestly is to issue warnings

[53:44] when we have the opportunity

[53:46] to. As you can see, I think we

[53:48] are, you know, are at or below

[53:50] what the state is requiring.

[53:52] But I think with the effort to

[53:53] be to change behavior, I

[53:56] think, you know, we want to.

[53:58] Provide that warning rather

[53:59] than not issuing anything at

[54:03] all. So Then we get into where

[54:10] it's a $40, fine or $120 fine.

[54:11] Is that a cent fine amount or

[54:14] could it be instead of 120?

[54:15] Can someone say had 90 or

[54:16] trying to understand what

[54:21] we're doing? Understanding is

[54:23] that those funds will be said

[54:24] and sentenced just thank you

[54:27] very much. Chief. Appreciate

[54:29] that. And the other question

[54:35] just you know, we're in this

[54:38] world. Make sure the data

[54:40] secure or and in going

[54:41] anywhere. And I know you've

[54:46] said that no reason for can

[54:47] feel safer there were

[54:48] something in the ordinance

[54:50] before to share it into city

[54:51] council gets to weigh in on

[54:52] it. So just want throw that

[54:57] into the mix it You're talking

[55:02] about the of this My

[55:04] understanding and windy can

[55:05] chime in on this. But my

[55:06] understanding is that there

[55:06] would never be reason share

[55:14] this I'm here with these name

[55:16] being called Is there question

[55:19] for for one thing for anyone

[55:23] to provide additional comments

[55:23] from casual statement her

[55:28] counsel answer that question

[55:28] can ever with Mike Thank you

[55:34] for introducing himself could

[55:36] for police similar to the

[55:39] photo radar system that we've

[55:42] been for quite some time.

[55:47] There is there have been uses

[55:50] where information from photo

[55:51] radar is sure to law

[55:54] enforcement. Agencies and

[55:57] that's are standing or

[55:57] incurred procedures. So we

[56:01] have. 2 provisions, the Arab

[56:03] state or will not be shared

[56:04] with any law enforcement

[56:05] agency for purpose, which

[56:06] would violate the Denver

[56:07] Public Safety Enforcement

[56:10] priorities that. Number one,

[56:10] number 2 federal task force

[56:14] were solely investigate. For

[56:15] prosecution federal crimes for

[56:16] conduct that is permitted

[56:18] under current law. So it can

[56:22] only be shared another law

[56:23] enforcement agency. Purpose of

[56:25] an official investigation.

[56:32] That's a crime for Denver and

[56:36] Colorado. But there's and

[56:37] there's no requirement of

[56:38] council being notified would

[56:39] shared. Is that correct? Not

[56:46] at this time. Yeah, I I'd like

[56:48] that. Ok, thank you. Will tell

[56:50] appreciate that. Thank thank

[56:52] you, Thank you. Councilmember

[56:53] Cashman Pro Gonzalez

[56:55] Gutierrez, Councilmember Luis,

[56:57] thank you so MISTER Chair in

[56:58] some of questions. I know I

[56:59] asked during the briefing,

[57:00] sir, thank you so much for

[57:01] that. Also want to thank you

[57:04] for the slide on showing the

[57:05] different find structures and

[57:06] how they align with the state

[57:07] law. That's super helpful.

[57:09] Think the only thing that I

[57:10] really MISS Him because when

[57:10] you said in the presentation

[57:14] that they're ours Alps, some

[57:15] alignment with state law, I'd

[57:17] like to see that side by side

[57:18] comparison. I think that's

[57:19] what I was talking about when

[57:21] we met last was wanting to

[57:22] understand what are we doing?

[57:26] That That is under this table.

[57:30] What are we doing beyond that

[57:31] or differently so we can get

[57:35] something like visual that

[57:37] way. It ok. Along those lines

[57:39] of data and how long is the

[57:40] data stored when winning

[57:41] photos taken for any for a

[57:44] with a Nicole Wendy appear

[57:54] give the specifics on that

[57:55] good morning, everyone with

[57:57] the city attorney's office,

[57:58] special counsel to Department

[58:02] of Public Safety. So currently

[58:03] the requirements are set forth

[58:08] in the state. So the state law

[58:10] prohibits keeping any data if

[58:12] there is not a violation

[58:14] noted, then the state law

[58:17] currently has a three-year

[58:19] retention period from the date

[58:19] that there's a final

[58:22] disposition of the violation.

[58:23] So that's the standard

[58:25] retention right now under

[58:28] state law. It says that

[58:29] number, it's a three-year

[58:32] things. Yes, it's only

[58:33] violations detected. 3 years

[58:35] from the date of the final

[58:36] disposition. So, for example,

[58:37] if somebody were to pay the

[58:38] fine, that is the day that the

[58:42] three-day would kick in.

[58:42] Should they go all the way to

[58:43] a hearing with the county

[58:44] court who would be the

[58:45] disposition date with the

[58:46] county court that that would

[58:48] be that three-year standard

[58:51] period under state law. So the

[58:55] 3 years standard we we don't

[58:56] have subscribe to that 3

[58:56] years. We can do less of what

[58:58] we can do less. If we want

[59:02] salute thank you for that.

[59:05] You're ok? The ordinance

[59:06] proposal include language that

[59:07] prohibits other types of use

[59:10] for these cameras? If there

[59:13] are any potential technology

[59:14] updates changes to the

[59:16] technology, do we do we have

[59:19] anything? Any guardrails

[59:20] around that Thank you for

[59:21] flying a I am I don't believe

[59:23] so. But I can look into

[59:24] whether or not that would

[59:25] included in our contract

[59:30] language or other other areas.

[59:32] And that is kind of the that

[59:34] you kind of alluded to in the

[59:36] data sharing that it can only

[59:39] be sure for purposes of an

[59:40] official investigation within

[59:40] current laws, both state and

[59:47] local I with that said, can

[59:48] this be can the data be

[59:52] utilized for anything outside

[59:55] of administrative violation

[59:56] for speed or writing a red

[1:00:09] light? Jake Herrera, Police

[1:00:10] Department, similar to the

[1:00:16] photo radar data that we news

[1:00:18] It can be for the purpose

[1:00:21] investigation. Records with

[1:00:23] this policy. And can you give

[1:00:24] some examples of when those

[1:00:26] things can be You're telling

[1:00:29] me it can be used for other

[1:00:30] things outside violation your

[1:00:34] red That's that's the

[1:00:35] question. What we could have

[1:00:37] Wendy Upping clarify a little

[1:00:42] bit more. Thank you the Shea.

[1:00:43] Again, special Counsel

[1:00:46] Department of Public Safety.

[1:00:47] So the state law, again, it

[1:00:48] speaks to this specifically.

[1:00:49] So let me run through a little

[1:00:50] bit because I think that would

[1:00:51] be helpful. So the state law

[1:00:56] requires. All the data so

[1:00:58] photo the gop I collected to

[1:00:59] be confidential and it's

[1:01:00] exempt from disclosure under

[1:01:03] quarantine. The second thing

[1:01:10] is has a specific information

[1:01:11] state law that you cannot use

[1:01:14] disclose, sell or permit

[1:01:18] access to the photo. The

[1:01:19] video, the Pei except 3

[1:01:20] circumstances. So let me tell

[1:01:23] you what those are The first

[1:01:23] is to the extent necessary to

[1:01:27] operate the program. The

[1:01:30] second is for other law

[1:01:31] enforcement purposes. And the

[1:01:32] 3rd is pursuant to a court

[1:01:37] order. For use. That is

[1:01:39] unrelated to the legal

[1:01:40] proceeding regular regarding

[1:01:44] this ticket. So what commend

[1:01:46] her rare is talking about is

[1:01:47] we've limited even with

[1:01:50] respect to our policy with how

[1:01:52] it would be provided to other

[1:01:53] law enforcement that those are

[1:01:53] the 3 parameters that we must

[1:01:59] operate. Thank you for that.

[1:02:01] Okay. Maybe just a little bit

[1:02:03] more information how where and

[1:02:05] how we are committing further

[1:02:09] would be helpful to know going

[1:02:11] forward, you for because that

[1:02:14] other law enforcement purposes

[1:02:14] is a very broad right. That's

[1:02:19] kind of broad interpretation.

[1:02:21] Okay. Does it let me just make

[1:02:22] sure get the questions. I was

[1:02:24] down and down. Ok? So quick

[1:02:25] question on the license plate

[1:02:29] piece debt. You had, you know,

[1:02:29] very intentionally talked

[1:02:30] about how this is different

[1:02:32] from our automated license

[1:02:33] plate readers. So my question

[1:02:36] is, does this technology

[1:02:37] capture license plate numbers

[1:02:38] in order to proceed with the

[1:02:39] ticket to be I'm guessing that

[1:02:42] it does. Correct? Okay. And

[1:02:43] then how is that different

[1:02:47] from a r p r and who can

[1:02:47] access? And we talked we

[1:02:48] talked a little bit about who

[1:02:50] can access the data. If you

[1:02:54] can walk through exactly will

[1:02:57] see this But also how is it

[1:03:00] different from lpr if we're

[1:03:00] still capturing a license

[1:03:03] plate number? So just to be

[1:03:04] clear, when we take the photo

[1:03:05] of the lyceum playing, it's

[1:03:08] only taken when there's a

[1:03:09] violation. They're not

[1:03:10] streaming video and we're not

[1:03:15] just constantly collecting

[1:03:15] license plate numbers. And if

[1:03:16] found that there's no

[1:03:19] violation, we purge it. So

[1:03:20] it's not going hold on to it

[1:03:22] at And so as far as like the

[1:03:24] process of who refuse it, I'd

[1:03:27] I'm not able to answer that

[1:03:27] question, but I give Thomas

[1:03:31] can or if they beat head or a

[1:03:36] Steve Cowan can come good

[1:03:38] morning tech for a forsman

[1:03:41] doing it the way it is right

[1:03:47] now is when when there is a

[1:03:50] violation make sure the

[1:03:52] vehicle and license plates

[1:03:54] captured once we have the

[1:03:55] information or license plate,

[1:03:59] then it goes through a manual

[1:04:02] process getting owner

[1:04:02] information through the dmv

[1:04:04] and that's how the citations

[1:04:08] are issued. So unlike Lprs

[1:04:10] where it goes into main

[1:04:13] system, right, collecting the

[1:04:14] data for cross referencing and

[1:04:15] stuff. We don't do that at So

[1:04:16] the only purpose is to issue

[1:04:19] the citation. That's or thank

[1:04:22] you. Thank you so much. Okay.

[1:04:26] And then. What kind of

[1:04:29] education will be provided

[1:04:33] about about these some of the

[1:04:33] changes here for drivers and

[1:04:36] people on the road looking at

[1:04:37] like that one to 6 miles per

[1:04:41] because I think there is

[1:04:43] people think if I'm going

[1:04:44] under 10 miles per hour, I'm

[1:04:46] not going to get a speeding

[1:04:48] ticket rates like that's a

[1:04:48] public perception. How are we

[1:04:49] going to educate folks so that

[1:04:53] they are aware of this change?

[1:04:54] I'm going to bring up Brent

[1:04:56] Weisberg case or

[1:04:57] communications directors

[1:04:57] working our whole

[1:04:58] communications plan where

[1:04:59] we're going to do a robust

[1:05:02] marketing in communications

[1:05:06] plan on this. So all And there

[1:05:07] were Good morning, Frank. Wess

[1:05:08] for communications director

[1:05:09] with the Department of Public

[1:05:12] Safety to answer the question.

[1:05:13] Obviously, we need to continue

[1:05:15] to increase public education

[1:05:16] about this. More with

[1:05:18] different stakeholders,

[1:05:22] community groups as well as

[1:05:22] the equity team to notify

[1:05:23] community members. To your

[1:05:25] point, there is that

[1:05:26] perception about low-level

[1:05:27] speeding. We need to educate

[1:05:30] individuals about the impacts,

[1:05:31] particularly as you heard in

[1:05:35] presentation about how even a

[1:05:37] small amount is low-level

[1:05:39] speeding could drastically

[1:05:41] impact change the outcome to a

[1:05:43] person who was hit. So that

[1:05:44] work will continue as we work

[1:05:45] broadly with council and the

[1:05:48] mayor's office as well. Yeah,

[1:05:50] and that's put the wolf ring

[1:05:51] that planned to you to see it

[1:05:51] when we bring the contract

[1:05:55] through. Thank you for. To the

[1:05:58] Chiefs point. Thank you for To

[1:06:02] the Chiefs point around the

[1:06:04] whether it's a warning versus

[1:06:05] accounts because he was asking

[1:06:06] about where there's a warning

[1:06:07] or a fine is imposed right

[1:06:07] now. It says an option. I

[1:06:10] would just recommend because

[1:06:12] it is something that is

[1:06:16] subjective that perhaps we not

[1:06:17] have objective, that we

[1:06:18] actually say what it's going

[1:06:20] to be just so that it's more

[1:06:21] clear that that is just

[1:06:24] something that I would want to

[1:06:25] explore here. If you all are

[1:06:29] open to then the last thing I

[1:06:30] wanted to bring that one of

[1:06:31] the slides were talked about.

[1:06:34] Officer initiated a traffic

[1:06:36] stops. It's impossible to just

[1:06:38] a line. You know, those type

[1:06:40] the same type of fees because

[1:06:41] it looks like those fees can

[1:06:44] be perhaps. I mean, would we

[1:06:47] look at aligning the penalties

[1:06:48] and fees for those officer of

[1:06:50] all traffic stops with what

[1:06:53] we're doing with the inlets.

[1:06:54] Not understanding it

[1:06:54] correctly, but it looks like

[1:06:58] there's a higher penalties

[1:06:59] officer-involved traffic stops

[1:07:03] for the same type of Could we

[1:07:06] align them with these if they

[1:07:09] if he made that having the

[1:07:10] industry's be as much as

[1:07:15] police officers? No, no. I

[1:07:16] would want him to be less.

[1:07:19] Yeah, I don't maybe 2 times.

[1:07:20] Something to think If you're

[1:07:22] open to that conversation, I

[1:07:26] guess. You would say open to

[1:07:27] conversation. But the county

[1:07:30] court decision as to how

[1:07:31] things decided, what would

[1:07:31] that be? That would be an

[1:07:33] ordinance change so that we

[1:07:37] can propose so. Thank you.

[1:07:39] That's all I have. Thank you,

[1:07:41] MR. But to pretend

[1:07:43] Councilmember Luis Council

[1:07:43] PRESIDENT Remember Campbell

[1:07:47] and Councilmember Cent of all.

[1:07:49] Thank you so much. Really

[1:07:51] appreciate so really

[1:07:52] appreciate your bringing this

[1:07:53] presentation as well as the

[1:07:55] briefing that you're able for

[1:07:56] my team and and one of the

[1:07:59] suggestions my office MAY

[1:08:00] double as 2 d o s and 2 that

[1:08:01] he was to include language no

[1:08:05] longer financially penalize

[1:08:06] that there was no financial

[1:08:08] penalty imposed for second or

[1:08:11] subsequent violations. Said at

[1:08:12] least 6 and less than 10 miles

[1:08:16] per hour throughout the bill

[1:08:17] with exclusions Follett for

[1:08:19] the fallen for subsequent

[1:08:21] violations that are at least 6

[1:08:24] or less than 10 per hour

[1:08:24] occurring in school zones are

[1:08:25] within meaning repair

[1:08:29] construction zone. What we

[1:08:30] found in some reserve is that

[1:08:30] this is in line with the use

[1:08:33] of the technology and other

[1:08:35] cities across the country. So

[1:08:36] it is essential San Francisco,

[1:08:39] Oakland, San Jose, Washington,

[1:08:41] D.C., New York apartment, even

[1:08:42] not Colorado, which only

[1:08:43] imposes fines for of that. And

[1:08:46] plus, miles per hour. And I

[1:08:47] know you all said that you are

[1:08:48] still in the process of

[1:08:50] evaluating the vi schedule and

[1:08:51] we'll be having further

[1:08:52] discussions with the Office of

[1:08:53] Social Equity and innovation.

[1:08:54] And I appreciate them being in

[1:08:57] for the presentation to have a

[1:08:58] program that prioritizes

[1:09:00] traffic safety but also

[1:09:01] considers that's practices to

[1:09:06] help ensure affordability and

[1:09:08] accountability and soaking.

[1:09:09] Okay. No se either someone

[1:09:10] speaks to where you are with

[1:09:14] this recommendation. Yes, yes,

[1:09:17] to on overnight we have had

[1:09:18] conversations with us and it

[1:09:19] continue to those

[1:09:21] conversations above

[1:09:25] affordability program we had

[1:09:26] think 30 ricin mitigations

[1:09:27] that we drafted prior to the

[1:09:31] transition to deal I think we

[1:09:32] had some counsel patients last

[1:09:34] year last summer spring with

[1:09:35] council district to talk about

[1:09:36] those and we share reports,

[1:09:38] but definitely are still

[1:09:39] looking to have further

[1:09:39] conversations about

[1:09:40] affordability program moving

[1:09:42] forward. And have to take

[1:09:45] those comments into

[1:09:46] consideration. Thank you so

[1:09:47] much. If you all could provide

[1:09:50] me with some updates as you

[1:09:51] all through this

[1:09:51] process. I'd really appreciate

[1:09:58] it. Additionally, also

[1:10:00] suggested the suggested the

[1:10:02] route routing the revenue

[1:10:02] generated from Avis, Foreign

[1:10:04] Student, Transportation and

[1:10:07] mobility srf instead of the

[1:10:09] general Fund. Yeah, this would

[1:10:09] allow us to ensure that the

[1:10:11] money generated through this

[1:10:12] enforcement is used to address

[1:10:15] traffic safety in the city and

[1:10:16] the state, a vision, 0 intent

[1:10:18] that you all shared with And

[1:10:20] so you're you're meant it was

[1:10:21] I bit briefing that you all

[1:10:21] were still having discussions

[1:10:23] with the left on this matter.

[1:10:24] And so can you tell me where

[1:10:28] you are at this juncture

[1:10:29] regarding the fund's going to

[1:10:32] going into that we actually

[1:10:32] have a medium build with

[1:10:34] Department of Finance next

[1:10:34] week to talk about this and

[1:10:39] other financial decisions that

[1:10:41] need to be to with this

[1:10:43] ordinance. Okay. So that's a

[1:10:44] request. If you all can just

[1:10:45] keep me updated as you all

[1:10:49] journey. Really appreciate it.

[1:10:51] And then I believe that city's

[1:10:52] Vision, 0 goes mention

[1:10:55] transitioning traffic, safety

[1:10:58] enforcement from the dpd and

[1:10:59] ios to daddy over time. And so

[1:11:02] considering that this is an

[1:11:03] inner agency program that this

[1:11:04] principle fit into the

[1:11:05] structure chosen for

[1:11:11] administrating Avis. What my

[1:11:14] understanding Department of

[1:11:15] Safety forces moving

[1:11:19] violations it enforces parking

[1:11:20] violations. We we can

[1:11:21] definitely consider what that

[1:11:23] looks like in the future. But

[1:11:25] right now we're kind of

[1:11:28] aligning with that with that

[1:11:29] structure. All right. Thank

[1:11:31] you so much. One of the things

[1:11:33] that can summon Cashman

[1:11:35] mention was around the

[1:11:35] detention. And I heard you all

[1:11:38] say that it was 3 years. And

[1:11:39] just curious if you if you all

[1:11:40] have conferred with tech

[1:11:41] services to see if that's in

[1:11:47] alignment what mount an

[1:11:48] alignment with their policies

[1:11:49] because we learned a lot

[1:11:50] during the the gender

[1:11:52] ordinance around those think

[1:11:55] retention, the retention of

[1:11:56] data. That's a cat. Like all

[1:11:58] definitely get back to you in

[1:12:01] that position. Okay. Then

[1:12:02] finally it this is more of a

[1:12:07] comment. Then question. I know

[1:12:08] COUNCILMAN Watson stated at

[1:12:11] the beginning of the

[1:12:12] presentation that there that

[1:12:12] this MAY be postponed. I'm not

[1:12:14] on this committee, but because

[1:12:15] there are so many pieces that

[1:12:16] are still not answered. This

[1:12:17] isn't feel like it's ready. So

[1:12:20] go to the floor so that we can

[1:12:20] get some of those questions

[1:12:21] answered. And so my preference

[1:12:24] would be that we delay this

[1:12:25] until we can get some of those

[1:12:27] pieces put together with that

[1:12:29] comes Watson, thank you so

[1:12:31] much. Thank you so much.

[1:12:33] Councilmember Luis Council,

[1:12:34] PRESIDENT American Ball and

[1:12:40] Councilmember Cent of all.

[1:12:42] Thank you, MR. Chair let's see

[1:12:42] some of my questions have

[1:12:46] already been asked one I am

[1:12:49] actually excited for in

[1:12:50] southeast Denver, one of the

[1:12:53] major things that I hear about

[1:12:54] is speeding. What we also see

[1:12:57] are a lot of people on Hampton

[1:12:58] going through the light and a

[1:13:05] lot really high. High high out

[1:13:06] on Hampden and especially in

[1:13:09] people doing to cut through

[1:13:11] from I-25 to 2.25 and so

[1:13:12] forth. So I would be

[1:13:13] interested in what kind of

[1:13:17] future. Corridors and streets

[1:13:18] would be included because

[1:13:20] there are some other, I think

[1:13:25] very high. Streets that have

[1:13:27] speeds that are coming through

[1:13:29] that aren't actually on this

[1:13:33] map. But my question is when

[1:13:34] we talk about vehicles, I

[1:13:35] assume we're also talking

[1:13:39] about motorcycles that would

[1:13:41] be captured in this. And does

[1:13:43] that mean that a photo radar

[1:13:46] would be do they capture the

[1:13:47] front or the back of end of

[1:13:49] the vehicle and then we also

[1:13:53] be tracking the data of maybe

[1:13:54] speeding that is happening.

[1:13:59] But there's no license plate.

[1:14:03] Motorcycles are included. If

[1:14:06] there's no license plate and

[1:14:06] maybe I'd like to bring up

[1:14:07] tent to talk about what

[1:14:15] happens in that case. Since

[1:14:17] the citations issued based

[1:14:18] license plate information that

[1:14:22] we get from dmv without a

[1:14:24] license plates were unable to

[1:14:28] issue the citations. So again,

[1:14:29] we only license-plate

[1:14:33] information for the purpose of

[1:14:33] issuing citations. Thank And

[1:14:36] I'm just wondering like he

[1:14:38] would be able to a ticket that

[1:14:39] with that data still be just

[1:14:41] information for us to know

[1:14:43] that, you know, 10% of the

[1:14:45] speeding that's happening is

[1:14:46] from cars that don't have a

[1:14:50] license plate. I'm just making

[1:14:52] random number. But I I would

[1:14:53] just be curious what that

[1:14:54] number is or if there is some

[1:14:54] way that you would be

[1:15:00] tracking. So unfortunately, we

[1:15:02] do not do that. Also the

[1:15:02] effort not holding information

[1:15:05] that we don't need for the

[1:15:06] issue into the citations. It's

[1:15:07] kind of like a double edged

[1:15:09] sword for like tracking

[1:15:14] because we don't and track it

[1:15:15] if it doesn't come up with we

[1:15:15] don't hold on to that

[1:15:22] information and thank you. And

[1:15:23] and then I also am wondering,

[1:15:26] it was discussed about the

[1:15:28] funds that would be going

[1:15:29] where how much revenue do you

[1:15:37] expect to? Garner from That

[1:15:40] will depend cameras. We can we

[1:15:42] put and how much the equipment

[1:15:44] will cost, how much the

[1:15:45] staffing costs. So we're still

[1:15:47] in the process of evaluating

[1:15:48] all of that. And that's part

[1:15:49] of the conversation that all

[1:15:52] continuation in Cummings

[1:15:54] develop what our whole plan

[1:16:02] looks like. I again, I think

[1:16:06] that a different way to be

[1:16:07] able to address speeding doing

[1:16:11] it in a way that is if if it's

[1:16:12] occurring just good way for us

[1:16:17] to not have our officers be

[1:16:17] responsible for everyone that

[1:16:21] is speeding again, I receive a

[1:16:23] lot of calls about this in my

[1:16:24] office on this is something

[1:16:26] that the residents in

[1:16:27] southeast Amber have been

[1:16:29] really concerned about. So I

[1:16:33] know that it's on the. For a

[1:16:37] possible delay, I am. I'm

[1:16:38] actually excited to see this

[1:16:39] move forward. So thank you.

[1:16:44] Thank you, MR. Chair. Thank

[1:16:44] you. Council PRESIDENT

[1:16:45] Remarkable Councilmember

[1:16:47] Center Baldwin, Councilmember

[1:16:49] tourists. Thank Thank you for

[1:16:50] the work on this in northwest

[1:16:55] Denver. We've had several

[1:16:56] pedestrian. Can't stand cashes

[1:16:58] birth So I'm excited to see

[1:17:00] this. Most of my questions got

[1:17:05] answered I am interest to New

[1:17:07] York where the funding boost

[1:17:08] that is it. That is something

[1:17:13] that I would be interested in

[1:17:13] I do feel like if we're going

[1:17:14] to have pulled out something

[1:17:17] like where put our dollars is

[1:17:18] a testament to what the type

[1:17:20] of work we do and some of the

[1:17:23] funding that we need northwest

[1:17:29] Denver to accidents. So large

[1:17:30] meeting the dollar amount is

[1:17:32] so large to fix take 38

[1:17:35] Avenue. I had to put in a and

[1:17:37] some of the other

[1:17:39] infrastructure. So old

[1:17:40] antiquated take years and

[1:17:40] years and years and years to

[1:17:45] fix those roads thing that I

[1:17:47] always my kids and other

[1:17:50] people as we just have

[1:17:51] distracted drivers. When I

[1:17:53] when my kids were I didn't

[1:17:56] have a computer in my hand. I

[1:18:00] just didn't. I didn't have a

[1:18:02] tv in my car. Mom was young,

[1:18:04] very likely. She would have a

[1:18:05] cup and she's carry for coffee

[1:18:06] cup, you know, we have all

[1:18:08] these mugs. We have that kind

[1:18:10] things in our and we do have

[1:18:11] distracted drivers. I've asked

[1:18:15] best man my wedding, best

[1:18:17] friend and a motorcycle

[1:18:18] accident because texting had

[1:18:19] just started and someone they

[1:18:21] were texting and they made a

[1:18:22] left-hand turn front of him

[1:18:24] and they were texting on the

[1:18:25] flip killed my best friend on

[1:18:28] a motorcycle accident and his

[1:18:30] brother also died on a

[1:18:31] motorcycle accident. Was it

[1:18:32] because of a destructive

[1:18:36] driver? Also texting. And so

[1:18:38] around the world that we live

[1:18:40] it's so hard to the

[1:18:42] multitasking and leaving East

[1:18:44] interest driving our cars. We

[1:18:45] didn't cause. We didn't talk

[1:18:48] on the phone and answer. Text

[1:18:52] messages or look at e-mails

[1:18:53] when as efficient as we are.

[1:18:57] Also caused distracted driving

[1:18:59] and high speeds on our even

[1:19:01] though we have I know,

[1:19:05] councilmember initiated 20 is

[1:19:06] People still speed our

[1:19:08] streets. Even though we play

[1:19:09] those white Pollard everywhere

[1:19:12] in northwest Amber, people

[1:19:15] just knocked So I do think

[1:19:18] that where the funding from

[1:19:20] initiative goes will really

[1:19:20] matter. Suns. I will be

[1:19:22] interested in learning what

[1:19:25] the conversation is with the

[1:19:25] Department Finance. Thank you,

[1:19:26] MR. Thank you so much.

[1:19:29] Councilmember cent of all

[1:19:31] councilmember tourists. Thank

[1:19:35] want to be appreciate

[1:19:36] consultants us could get is is

[1:19:37] questioning about the

[1:19:38] difference between the police

[1:19:40] issued find air and a camera.

[1:19:42] She but in my eyes, they're

[1:19:43] very different in the

[1:19:44] resources that are required to

[1:19:46] issue them I thought it was an

[1:19:48] equity consideration for think

[1:19:51] speed cameras to have a lower

[1:19:52] fine. So I would be opposed to

[1:19:55] reducing the police as you'd

[1:19:58] find lower. I don't think like

[1:20:00] I just couldn't support

[1:20:04] reducing the fines when this

[1:20:06] behavior. It's so problematic

[1:20:07] in my district right and for

[1:20:08] us to be lighting more light,

[1:20:12] hand it on it were actually

[1:20:17] trained to get come Wind like

[1:20:20] this is I think the first step

[1:20:21] and actually try to get that

[1:20:26] where we can have an in my

[1:20:27] district are where we don't

[1:20:30] want officers raid like so I I

[1:20:33] get that. But I couldn't

[1:20:35] support reducing fines. I

[1:20:37] think these are the Max's that

[1:20:37] weaken the issue for the speed

[1:20:38] cameras. And we're going to

[1:20:40] the max for them, which is I

[1:20:44] think as much as we can do,

[1:20:44] but just wanted to come in

[1:20:48] time and that piece and that

[1:20:50] was that you think you thank

[1:20:54] you. Thanks so much.

[1:20:59] Councilmember Torres else just

[1:21:02] to clarify years some of

[1:21:04] questions I have. I appreciate

[1:21:05] the briefing yesterday. I want

[1:21:06] to say sci the table and

[1:21:10] having an equity lens stream

[1:21:10] important. Thank you so much

[1:21:12] for being there. Working with

[1:21:15] asked. Thank you so much for

[1:21:15] Dottie and the work you do

[1:21:16] with the streets team. I know

[1:21:19] off has been very much engaged

[1:21:20] a lot of the accident that

[1:21:24] happened in District 9

[1:21:26] providing us direction from

[1:21:30] rapid response from department

[1:21:31] as to occurs on 17 and

[1:21:33] Monaco's been a sticking point

[1:21:35] for both The chicane and

[1:21:37] council district We had a

[1:21:39] death in 17 from Glencoe we

[1:21:40] had community members that

[1:21:44] were actually that saw the

[1:21:45] accident that was there. And I

[1:21:46] think Dani playing really

[1:21:47] important role on the last

[1:21:48] several weeks with sitting

[1:21:49] with community members and

[1:21:53] wants. So that is helpful. But

[1:21:56] that's a response to fatality

[1:22:00] that our streets created to

[1:22:03] continue to make. So my

[1:22:04] question, first question is on

[1:22:06] Page 18 just wanted for the

[1:22:06] penalty schedule for Derby.

[1:22:10] Unclear fire on the 25 miles

[1:22:12] per hour. Listing of that's an

[1:22:13] orange that was to misdemeanor

[1:22:15] mandatory court fine up to

[1:22:17] 9.99 I asked this question I

[1:22:18] wanted to make sure that we

[1:22:21] had this in a record for

[1:22:23] response. We just want to rock

[1:22:25] minimum sentencing guidelines

[1:22:26] process where their minimum

[1:22:28] sense and sentencing for

[1:22:31] misdemeanors. This seems to be

[1:22:33] set of that. Can we explain

[1:22:36] why the difference on this

[1:22:37] misdemeanor? And if there is

[1:22:38] consideration of the there is

[1:22:41] a difference based on what we

[1:22:42] passed on for there to be any

[1:22:43] changes to So want to can

[1:22:44] speak like spring of 20

[1:22:44] shooting. Answer that

[1:22:50] question. Good morning in a

[1:22:54] city's attorney's office. So

[1:22:57] minimum sentencing guidelines

[1:22:58] that were addressed by council

[1:23:02] did not address traffic. So

[1:23:02] this is not part of what had

[1:23:04] been addressed by council

[1:23:06] previously with the

[1:23:09] misdemeanor. That is a state

[1:23:11] violation. And remember, so

[1:23:13] the difference between this

[1:23:14] violation here, that's

[1:23:14] criminal violation or as a

[1:23:19] this is civil violation? Did I

[1:23:20] answer your question or was

[1:23:22] there more to it than that is

[1:23:22] helping? We have my briefing.

[1:23:24] I want to make beside brought

[1:23:27] to the floor because that

[1:23:28] number and that could be seen

[1:23:29] as as something that unclear

[1:23:32] to folks. I appreciate that.

[1:23:35] Wendy, my questions have been

[1:23:36] answered within the briefing.

[1:23:39] I wanted to present the

[1:23:40] council members, the

[1:23:43] postponement of this until a

[1:23:45] date next Wednesday. This

[1:23:46] based on my discussions the

[1:23:49] council member that shared

[1:23:50] their interests. And at this

[1:23:51] moment, that's not on this

[1:23:54] committee for questions that

[1:23:55] they have been asking and

[1:23:57] they're still waiting for

[1:24:01] receipt of responses from the

[1:24:03] Postponing. This is an

[1:24:05] important discussion. This is

[1:24:07] an important ordinance. This

[1:24:08] would be for a week 4 of those

[1:24:12] questions to get back

[1:24:14] councilmember. And I am

[1:24:15] putting forward to the members

[1:24:20] of this committee. We've been

[1:24:21] needing motion a second for

[1:24:24] one. We delay on this today.

[1:24:24] Certainly verified that this

[1:24:26] can come back for a vote next

[1:24:28] week within this committee and

[1:24:30] then they can move forward on

[1:24:31] a regular schedule that's

[1:24:34] currently up. So I would ask

[1:24:35] of a member of the itself for

[1:24:36] a motion and then I would need

[1:24:42] a second. And that motion It's

[1:24:43] been important and there's a

[1:24:47] second by pro a good Can

[1:24:48] terrace looking around the

[1:24:50] room to see if there's a need

[1:24:51] for a vote or a vote by

[1:24:57] acclamation. Okay. Thumbs

[1:24:58] important work that the team

[1:25:00] is doing. We appreciate all

[1:25:01] the work that you're doing. We

[1:25:02] look forward to seeing you

[1:25:03] next week for simple will have

[1:25:05] a brief discussion and then a

[1:25:07] ball on this our committee

[1:25:10] meeting next Wednesday. And

[1:25:15] with that, we items on

[1:25:16] consent. And since those were

[1:25:31] not withdraw, all

[1:25:36] this
