"A plan to bring red-light cameras to the city remains on hold.
The proposal by Arizona-based Redflex Traffic Systems was slated for a vote at Tuesday night's City Council meeting but was set aside because the city and Redflex continue to negotiate a contract.
Corporate Counsel Alayne Weingartz told aldermen there remains "some language to be worked out" in finalizing the deal that, based on Redflex's plan, calls for 20 cameras to be placed at key intersections throughout the city at no cost to the city.
"This has been bouncing around for a while," said At-large Alderman Bob O'Connor, chairman of the Finance Committee that has twice considered red-light cameras in the last year.
According to the plan submitted to the city in January, Redflex would own and operate the cameras.
Vehicles running red lights would be photographed, and citations would be sent to vehicle owners -- not the drivers -- by Redflex after consulting with police."
