Gee, I didn't realize that cameras struggled.
Clive’s stoplight camera system fell well short of revenue expectations for the second consecutive month.
Based on preliminary estimates provided to city officials by the cameras’ operator, Arizona-based Redflex Traffic Systems, the system was expected to generate about $85,000 per month initially.
September’s revenue was less than $700, based on statistics compiled by the Clive Police Department. The number of citations issued was down about 10 percent from August, the first full month of operation.
Clive City Manager Dennis Henderson said glitches are still being corrected in the system, and that he’s been satisfied that area residents are driving more safely.
Shouldn't the revenue expectation be zero?
Update: There's an actual web site called CliveRedLightCamera.com! It's been around a few months. I think they're anti-camera.
More on the program from the City Of Clive web site.
Oooops! Here's a cached web page from the Des Moines Register from February on how members of the Clive City Council relied on revenue expectations from the pushers of red light cameras for this year's bloated budget. Ronni Begleiter's seat on the Clive City Council seems safe.
