SUBJECT: Consideration of Agreement for Red Light Photo Enforcement Services
with American Traffic Solutions (ATS).
RECOMMENDATION:
By motion, direct staff to notify American Traffic Solutions that the current Lease &
Services Agreement for operation of the Red Light Photo Enforcement Program will not
be renewed upon expiration on September 29, 2012; and, direct staff to negotiate an
extended Lease & Services Agreement for up to three months from September 30,
2012 to December 31, 2012 to process outstanding citations.
SITUATION:
The five year Lease & Services Agreement with American Traffic Solutions (ATS) for
red light photo enforcement services will end on September 29, 2012 (Attachments 1, 2
& 3).
Red light photo enforcement takes place at two City intersections:
1. Del Obispo Street and Ortega Highway
2. Del Obispo Street and Camino Capistrano
The Red Light Photo Enforcement Program in San Juan Capistrano began in 2000.
The purpose of the program is to enhance the safety of motorists in San Juan
Capistrano by reducing traffic collisions in and around the intersections equipped with
cameras. Collisions have steadily declined at these intersections since the inception of
this program. There has also been a decline in the number of citations issued annually,
which can be attributed in part to a positive change in the driving habits of those who
frequently travel through these intersections.
Between 2000 and 2010, statistics show a 44.4% decrease in total collisions at the
intersection of Ortega Highway and Del Obispo Street. Between 2000 and 2010,
statistics show an 80.7% decrease in total collisions at the intersection of Del Obispo
Street and Camino Capistrano.

Citations have also decreased over the past 4 years, also indicating a positive change
in driving habits with fewer red light camera activations.

COMMISSIOWBOARD REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
Not Applicable.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The current Lease & Services Agreement is for $4850 per intersection approach per
month. The two red light photo enforcement intersections have two approaches each
for a total of four approaches (4 approaches x $4850/approach/month = $19,400/month
x 12 months = $232,800/year). One Motorcycle Patrol Deputy spends about 30% of his
time dedicated to processing red light camera violations. The chart below indicates the
annual gross revenues less costs, which equals the net revenues to the City.

Nestor, excluding any taxes or fees based on the income of Nestor. If incurred, such taxes or charges may be
invoiced at any time.
4.6 Nestor and Municipality shall mutually perform an initial financial review of the program on
the first anniversary of the installation date, and Nestor shall perform subsequent annual financial reviews of
the program. Following such review, if it is determined that the gross program revenue retained by the
Municipality is less than Nestor's contractual fees, then the parties shall: (i) in good faith renegotiate the
service fees hereunder; if the parties are unable to agree on a renegotiated fee after such negotiation it is not
successful, then (ii) consideration shall be given to eliminating existing low-volume approach(s); if neither
option is successful, then Municipality shall have the right to terminate the agreement without penalty and
without application of Section 4.3.

required by the System.
5.5 To allow for proper operation of the System, the Municipality shall provide Nestor with
advance written notice of any modifications proposed to intersections, including traffic signal operations, after
installation of a System. In the event of any such intersection modification requires a material change to the
System, the Municipality shall pay the costs reasonably incurred by Nestor to adapt the affected Installed
Approach(es) to make such Installed Approacb(es) compatible therewith, unless the costs are such that the level
of income to the Municipality will not cover the added costs; in which case the parties shall agree to use section
4.6 hereof to resolve that approach. Notwithstanding the above, Nestor makes no guarantee that it will be able
to make any such adaptation. In addition, Nestor does not, and will not, make recommendations or otherwise
manage the configuration or operation of the intersection traffic light system.

System will require review, analysis and approval by personnel appropriately qualified and authorized by the
Municipality under applicable law prior to the issuance of any citation;
(c) The System may not detect every event for which it is desirable to recommend extension of the red
light phase;
(d) The System has no control over, and relies on the proper functioning of Municipality supplied
equipment for signal light changes;

7.1 Nestor agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Municipality, its elected and
appointed officials, and employees from any claim of damages (including the payment of reasonable attorneys'
fees) by a third party arising solely from (a) a finding that the System infringes any validly issued United States
patent of (b) Nestor's negligence, provided that such liability is not attributable to (i) any act or omission set
forth in Section 7.2 or (ii) any third -party software or other third -party products used with, required for use of,
or supplied under their own names with or as part of the System. If, as a final result of any litigation of which
Nestor is obligated to indemnify, the use of the System by Municipality is prevented, in whole or in part, by an
injunction, Nestor's sole obligation to the Municipality as a result of such injunction shall be, at Nestor's option,
either to (i) replace such part as has been enjoined, or (ii) procure a license for Nestor or the Municipality to use
same, or (iii) remove same at no additional cost to the Municipality and terminate this Agreement.
7.2 Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, Nestor assumes no obligation or liability for, and the
Municipality will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Nestor, its officers, directors, shareholders, agents, and
employees from any claim of damages (including the payment of reasonable attorneys' fees) by a third party
arising from or related to (i) Nestor's compliance with any designs, specifications, or instructions of the
Municipality, (ii) any modification of the System made by the Municipality, (iii) the negligence or intentional
act of Municipality, (iv) failure of the Municipality to use the System in the manner described by Nestor, (v) the
failure to function properly of any hardware, software or equipment of any kind used by, in or on behalf of the
Municipality (other than that supplied by Nestor), (vi) the review and analysis of the System data output by
Municipality personnel for citation preparation, (vii) the Municipality's use and/or administration of the System
and/or any traffic signal, and (viii) an allegation regarding the permissibility under the law of the use of photo
citation systems or the System.
7.3 The rights of a Party seeking indemnification under this Section 7 shall be conditioned upon (i)
the indemnified Party notifying the indemnifying Party promptly upon receipt of the claim or action for which
indemnification is sought (but the failure to do so shall not relieve the indemnifying Party of its obligations
under this Section 7 unless and then only to the extent it is materially prejudiced thereby) and (ii) the
indemnified Party's full cooperation with the indemnifying Party in the settlement or defense of such claim or
action at no cost to the indemnifying Party (except for reasonable out-of-pocket traveling expenses). Such
cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, the Municipality providing access for, and permission to,
Nestor for the purpose of the replacement of such part or parts of System as Nestor may deem necessary or
desirable. An indemnified Party may participate in the defense of any indemnified matter through counsel of its
own choice and at its own expense provided that the indemnifying Party shall remain in, and responsible for,
control of the matter. This Section 7 states the entire liability and obligation and the exclusive remedy of the
Parties with respect to any actions or claims (i) of alleged infringement relating to or arising out of the subject
matter of this Agreement or (ii) otherwise the subject of this paragraph.
