Traffic Safety Program
The Staff met with a consulting representative
early this week to discuss the potential benefit
of a high volume traffic light vehicle activity
monitoring system.
This afternoon, City Manager Johnson confirmed
that these cameras are traffic light cameras.
Our objective is to determine feasibility of a
comprehensive, self-funding automated
intersection safety enforcement and violation
processing service for the City.
The Staff will continue to assess the benefit
potential for traffic safety program and, if
feasible, will schedule a presentation to the
City Council during July 2011.
Employee Computer Purchase Program Update
During the last 18 months since implementation,
the City’s Employee Computer Purchase Program
has resulted in 120 computer purchases valued at
$82,417.00.
The purpose of this program is to allow City
employees an easy way to purchase computers and
related equipment with the objective of “job
skills” enhancement. The advantage to the
employee is purchase under a payroll deduction
plan with a one-time exemption of sales tax.
This program continues to be highly successful.
