[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
[12:53] and Please introduce yourself,
[12:54] introduce members your
[12:54] colleagues had around the

[13:27] over there as well. Thank you
[13:27] all for being here. And all
[13:28] the teams are providing
[13:31] support to this presentation.
[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
