We are writing to provide an overview of our School Zone Speed Enforcement Program, designed in compliance with Florida's HB657. As you may know, this bill, effective from July 1, 2023, allows for automated enforcement of speed limits within school zones. Our proposal encompasses an innovative, effective, and entirely violator-funded program that prioritizes student safety without imposing any financial burden on the City. The key aspects of our program include: • Equipment & Maintenance: RedSpeed will handle the installation and maintenance of cameras, poles, and associated equipment in designated school zones at no cost to the city. • Operating Hours: The automated cameras will function during school days, beginning 30 minutes before school starts and ending 30 minutes after school. • Violation Threshold: To ensure that only egregious violators are cited, citations will be issued for speeds exceeding the limit by at least 10 mph. • Review & Approval: A system of checks and balances will be maintained wherein a law enforcement officer reviews and approves all citations. • Penalties & Appeals: Violators will be issued a civil Notice of Violation (NOV) with a penalty of $100. This is a civil penalty and carries no points or insurance implications. An appeals process is established, providing the accused with the opportunity for a civil appeal before the code enforcement board, administrative hearing officer or Miami-Dade County Court. • Monitoring & Review: Our web-based photo enforcement program provides a video archive and License Plate Recognition (LPR) for effective review and monitoring of potential violators. • Public Education: Prior to implementation, RedSpeed will assist the City in conducting a 30-day public education period about the new enforcement measures, with only warnings issued before levying fines. • Supporting Collaterals: RedSpeed will provide support in creating a professional Public Service Announcement, printing, and mailing warning notices during the warning period, and developing print collateral to notify parents about the program. • Additional Police Tools. Only RedSpeed is compatible with Flock or Insight ALPR. RedSpeed includes the respective ALPR licenses for each location.

Flock Safety is able to provide an additional layer of software to the Redspeed cameras. This allows the Redpseed cameras to be turned into ALPRs that push images into Flock Safety's cloud and allow agencies with access to those cameras to search for vehicles. In order for the two systems to work together, Redspeed will provide Flock with RTSP streams for the given cameras . From there, Flock Safety will integrate the camera stream into the Flock system thus allowing the software to be on the camera, turning it i nto an ALPR. The camera is then plotted on the Flock Safety map in the application to appropriately locate where the cameras are. As of June 2023, Redspeed is the only company with whom Flock has partnered with to offer Wing LPR integration on school zone enforcement cameras.

This Agreement shall commence upon the Effective Date and shall continue for a term of five (5)years from the Effective Date,unless new Camera Systems are installed subsequent to the Effective Date,then the term shall continue for five (5)years from the first day of the month following the first-issued Citation from the last Camera System that is installed or deployed pursuant to the last Notice to Proceed delivered by Customer to Verra Mobility.This Agreement will automatically extend for consecutive five (5)year terms.However,Customer or Verra Mobility may terminate this Agreement at the expiration of any term by providing written notice of its intent not to extend the Agreement forty-five (45) days prior to the expiration of the then- current term. 47 STRATEGY FOR LEGAL CHALLENGES TO LAW To defend the city from these challenges, Altumint provides a full court package that includes prima facie evidence of the violation. We will also provide expert testimony for judicial notice and will support and defend the law. There is no cost to the City. Automated photo enforcement is settled law in Florida, having been heard by the Florida Supreme Court. We realize challenges may arise. We have retained Weiss, Serota to defend our customers and RedSpeed if needed. There is no cost to the City for legal defense. No Cost to the City. Verra Mobility has a demonstrated unique understanding of Florida photo-enforcement programs. We take pride in our efforts over the years working side-by-side with our Florida customers as the red light safety camera law has developed under the Wandall Act. When the Wandall Act faced legal challenges Verra Mobility was proud to have worked with all our Florida customers on the legal issues that ultimately culminated in a unanimous decision by the Florida Supreme Court (Jimenez v. State, May 2018) upholding the legality of our customer’s programs in the state. When subsequent to the Jimenez ruling there were legal challenges to the business rules of photo-enforcement programs in the state, Verra Mobility assisted our customers in obtaining a successful ruling by the 3rd District Court of Appeals (City of Aventura, etc., et al., v Stein, June 2020). 48 ABILITY TO REVIEW PORTAL FOR VIOLATORS NOT ISSUED TICKETS (WORKING QUEUE VS NON-WORKING QUEUE. This police queue in the attachment shows events at risk of aging off because they have not yet been reviewed (referred to as the “red zone”). Altumint’s web-enabled software provides information on those violators who were not issued tickets (the non-working queue) via reporting, including the reasons for not issuing the tickets. Our program managers can assist with views of the non-working queue if needed. We follow Florida retention laws for data in both the working and non- working queues. Authorized personnel can view all the above in RedCheck, our web-based review portal. During legal challenges to the Wandall Act, Verra Mobility worked closely with the Florida Attorney General’s Office and the City of Aventura’s legal counsel in demonstrating to the Florida courts how only traffic infraction enforcement officers (TIEO) make a determination a violation of the law occurred. Our back-office system allows for Verra Mobility processors, or in some cases artificial intelligence, to do a pre-screening of events capture by the camera systems based on the City’s business rules and to send those events into a working queue and non-working queue within the back-office system. The TIEO or other authorized City personnel have the ability to review events in both queues, subject to the data retention rules the City provides in its contract with Verra Mobility. There are also extensive reports the City will be able to generate for audit purposes indicating the reasons why a particular event was sent to a particular queue. PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST FROM PD; FEES, IF ANY.There is no charge for this service.None, no fees to the City Verra Mobility will not charge the City/PD directly for public record requests. Our contract language regarding assessing a fee is only if the City/PD can charge the requester a fee, then we would only ask that the Customer pass that fee on to Verra Mobility to cover our costs. This contract provision is to protect both the City and Verra Mobility from costly large volume public records requests. We are happy to negotiate with the City/PD the contractual language needed to protect both parties. 49 TECHNOLOGY UPGRADES INCLUDED AT NO COST TO THE CITY During the life of the contract, Altumint will upgrade the software and hardware for the program with no costs to the city. All technology upgrades are included at no cost to the city. No Cost to the City. All technology upgrades are included for the term of the contract upon mutual agreement of the parties. Verra Mobility often receives feedback from our customers on ways to enhance the back-office system and when those enhancements are made we provide the upgrades to all our customers using the back-office system. HOW ARE "NOMINATIONS" HANDLED (OTHER DRIVERS OTHER THAN THE VEHICLE OWNER) Once the City approves a citation, Altumint will execute a summons in accordance with Florida law. If the vehicle’s registered owner informs us, via Affidavit of Transfer of Liability, that someone else was driving the vehicle, Altumint will process the transfer of liability request and issue a new citation. RedSpeed follows the procedures detailed in HB 657. We provide instructions on the NOV for any registered owner that desires to assert they were not the driver. We make an affidavit available online driver. Verra Mobility has extensive experience in assisting our customers with the nomination process and we currently provide nomination services for the City’s red light program through a process that includes the following: o A coupon is provided for nominations that requires notarization in order to be processed. If the coupon is not notarized, it is returned to the sender. o Both Date Of Birth (DOB) and driver’s license numbers must be provided. If either of these inputs is missing it cannot be processed and the documentation along with an attached letter is sent back to the sender. o Once the nomination is entered into our system, hard copies are stored for three years. Once all information is received, the nomination is processed. Please note we can accommodate various requests for process modifications required by the City pursuant to applicable statutes and in accordance with your business requirements. 50 WHAT ARE YOUR PROGRAM BUSINESS RULES We work with each client to determine the business rules that make sense for their city and program. Working with South Miami, we will make suggestions for best practices and take feedback from all stakeholders to ensure the program is received well. The program must be operated within statutory guidelines, but City police may have discretionary policies that we follow. These guidelines are established in the program set up. Documented and signed off on by the City and RedSpeed. Examples include handling of South Miami police vehicles with lights on, lights off, other emergency vehicles, etc. Verra Mobility utilizes a Business Rules Questionnaire (BRQ) to capture the City’s business rules, i.e., capture further details on how the City wants all aspects of its safety program to work. The BRQ is designed to capture the needs of key stakeholders and departments within the City including, but not limited to: the Police Department, City Attorney, Finance Department, Hearing Officer and clerk, etc. The BRQ is like an instruction manual, the document outlines the architecture of how the back-end system is setup to operate from event capture to notice payment and final disposition. The BRQ is an extension of our Customer Contract and may be used by the parties to clarify certain scope of work items. Not only does it provide our customers with the opportunity to provide direction on how the customer wants their program to operate within the Verra Mobility offered processes, but it also provides our internal teams with the instructions on how to design their workflows to take care of our customer’s unique programs. The BRQ is an important component to the operation of our customer’s program and is essential for documenting the authority the customer is providing to Verra Mobility to carry out certain ministerial tasks. EQUIPMENT: LASER OR RADAR TECHNOLOGY Altumint offers both LIDAR and RADAR solutions so that you and Altumint together can choose the best solution for each site. Only RedSpeed offers and currently operated programs with radar and laser. Each technology has pros and cons by location. (Number of lanes, traffic volume, weather, angle, etc.) We will provide what the city specifies/prefers. Our proposed equipment uses RADAR technology. 51 IF FDOT REQUIRES A 6-MONTH RECERTRIFICATION OF THE EQUIPMENT (LASER OR RADAR) WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THOSE COSTS Altumint would be responsible for these costs. All Altumint equipment is currently calibrated and certified by an independent third party yearly, but we can change that cycle to every six months if FDOT requires it. RedSpeed is responsible for all these costs. Verra Mobility will be responsible for these costs. MUNICIPAL CIENTS IN FLORIDA AND NATIONWIDE Eustis, Florida. Cites in Georgia, Maryland, Iowa, Ohio; refer to Response document. RedSpeed has well over 100 clients nationwide. We operate several dozen programs in Georgia with great safety results. Georgia is directly relevant as the law is nearly identical. We serve more communities in Georgia than all our competitors combined. In Florida, RedSpeed operated red light programs for two cities, Coral Gables and Sarasota (we replaced an incumbent in both, and violations captured increased dramatically due to our all-video technology.) We also are proud that we have been awarded the first school zone speed programs in Florida, include Miami-Dade County cities Pinecrest and Miami Gardens.

CS/CS/HB 657 Page: 1 CS/CS/HB 657 — Enforcement of School Zone Speed Limits by Infrastructure Strategies Committee; Transportation and Modals Subcommittee; and Rep. Koster and others (CS/CS/CS/SB 588 by Fiscal Policy Committee; Appropriations Committee on Transportation, Tourism, and Economic Development; Transportation Committee; and Senator Rodriguez) The bill authorizes a county or municipality to place or install, or contract with a vendor to place or install, an automated speed detection system on a street or highway under its jurisdiction or a state road if permitted by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The system may only be used to enforce speed limits in school zones within 30 minutes before a regularly scheduled breakfast program or school session, during the entirety of a regularly scheduled school session, and within 30 minutes after the end of a regularly scheduled school session. The bill:  Defines the term “speed detection system” and requires a county or municipality to enact an ordinance authorizing the placement or installation of speed detection systems and to make a determination that the location of such system warrants additional enforcement.  Requires signage warning motorists that speed detection systems are in use.  Requires a 30-day public awareness campaign prior to commencing enforcement of school zone speed limits with speed detection systems.  Requires the governing body of a county or municipality operating such system to hold public meetings regarding system provider contracts and data reported to the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV).  Creates a School Crossing Guard Recruitment and Retention Program, funded through retention of $5 from each citation enforced through school zone speed detection systems.  Requires speed detection systems to be installed according to FDOT specifications.  Provides requirements for issuing a notice of violation or a uniform traffic citation.  Establishes a $100 penalty for each violation and provides for the distribution of the proceeds to state and local government, including $60 from each citation for the local government to administer the speed detection system and other public safety initiatives and $12 from each citation for county school districts, to be shared proportionately with charter schools, for school security initiatives, student transportation, or improve student walking conditions.  Provides defenses for persons who receive a notice of violation or uniform traffic citation and procedures for hearings regarding violations.  Provides requirements for the retention and destruction of data obtained from speed detection systems.  Requires annual reporting by counties and municipalities that implement speed detection system programs in school zones and requires an annual summary report by DHSMV.  Exempts speed detection systems from DHSMV’s requirements for radar or lidar units, while requiring a speed detection system to perform self-tests as to its detection accuracy.  Prohibits points being imposed for a violation if unlawful speed in a school zone enforced by a speed detection system and prohibits such violations from being used for purposes of setting motor vehicle insurance rates. 54 2023 Summary of Legislation Passed Committee on Transportation This summary is provided for information only and does not represent the opinion of any Senator, Senate Officer, or Senate Of fice. CS/CS/HB 657 Page: 2 If approved by the Governor, or allowed to become law without the Governor’s signature, these provisions take effect July 1, 2023. Vote: Senate 35-3; House 95-6 55 July 17, 2023 VIA E-MAIL City of South Miami Steven Kulick, CPM Chief Procurement Officer/Procurement Division 6130 Sunset Drive South Miami, FL 33143 Dear Steve: Our company RedSpeed is the industry leader in automated school zone speed enforcement. We are writing to provide an overview of our School Zone Speed Enforcement Program, designed in compliance with Florida's HB657. As you may know, this bill, effective from July 1, 2023, allows for automated enforcement of speed limits within school zones. Our proposal encompasses an innovative, effective, and entirely violator-funded program that prioritizes student safety without imposing any financial burden on the City. The key aspects of our program include: ● Equipment & Maintenance: RedSpeed will handle the installation and maintenance of cameras, poles, and associated equipment in designated school zones at no cost to the city. ● Operating Hours: The automated cameras will function during school days, beginning 30 minutes before school starts and ending 30 minutes after school. ● Violation Threshold: To ensure that only egregious violators are cited, citations will be issued for speeds exceeding the limit by at least 10 mph. ● Review & Approval: A system of checks and balances will be maintained wherein a law enforcement officer reviews and approves all citations. ● Penalties & Appeals: Violators will be issued a civil Notice of Violation (NOV) with a penalty of $100. This is a civil penalty and carries no points or insurance implications. An appeals process is established, providing the accused with the opportunity for a civil appeal before the code enforcement board, administrative hearing officer or Miami-Dade County Court. ● Monitoring & Review: Our web-based photo enforcement program provides a video archive and License Plate Recognition (LPR) for effective review and monitoring of potential violators. ● Public Education: Prior to implementation, RedSpeed will assist the City in conducting a 30-day public education period about the new enforcement measures, with only warnings issued before levying fines. ● Supporting Collaterals: RedSpeed will provide support in creating a professional Public Service Announcement, printing, and mailing warning notices during the warning period, and developing print collateral to notify parents about the program. ● Additional Police Tools. Only RedSpeed is compatible with Flock or Insight ALPR. RedSpeed includes the respective ALPR licenses for each location. Additionally, RedSpeed offers a video archive that be used pursuant to state law 56 2 for proving civil or criminal liability for incidents captured incidentally to photo enforcement. In sum, we appreciate your consideration and would be pleased to help the city usher in a new era of safety in South Miami. Yours sincerely, REDSPEED FLORIDA, LLC REDSPEED FLORIDA, LLC Michael J.

Flock Safety is able to provide an additional layer of software to the Redspeed cameras . This allows the Redpseed cameras to be turned into ALPRs that push images into Flock Safety's cloud and allow agencies with access to those cameras to search for vehicles. In order for the two systems to work together, Redspeed will provide Flock with RTSP streams for the given cameras. From there , Flock Safety will integrate the camera stream into the Flock system thus allowing the software to be on the camera , turning it into an ALPR. The camera is then plotted on the Flock Safety map in the application to appropriately locate where the cameras are . As of June 2023, Redspeed is the only company with whom Flock has partnered with to offer Wing LPR integration on school zone enforcement cameras.

Payne, CMC, FCRM City Clerk 23-69/0000691491 M SUNDAY OCTOBER 29 2023 NEIGHBORS ...................................................................................................19SE C onsidering recent and ongoing con- flicts in various parts of the world, we are all exposed to dis- turbing realities,images and information through multiple media —and our kids are no exception.It may leave us not knowing exactly what to do.Watch- ing the suffering of others unfold may lead to in- creased levels of stress, anxiety and even depres- sion among our kids,so parents and caregivers must address the issue rather than leave our chil- dren to try and process these difficult circum- stances by themselves. Parents need to be aware of what their children hear from friends,social media and other sources and how they are affected.To the degree possible,protect kids from potentially upset- ting images that cannot be unseen,by monitoring media sources,content and time online. We all need to take media breaks to reduce exposure.Make sure your kids’information sources are age-appropriate.And teach them healthy skepti- cism to help sort out facts and opinions and evaluate the accuracy of their news sources.For kids under 8, the goal is to prevent expo- sure to graphic details of traumatic current events, since young children likely will not fully understand and process such incidents. A Open the conversa- tion:Avoiding this difficult topic or waiting for your children to bring it up may be tempting,but parents should open the door.Start by making sure you are informed about the basic facts from credible news sources so that you can answer questions.Identify when you can devote all your attention to your kids and ensure your approach is tailored to your chil- dren's age and maturity. Ask open-ended ques- tions like:What have you heard about what’s going on in the world?What do you think about it?What are you worried about? What questions do you have?Give them time to respond.Actively listen and show that you have heard and understand by reflect- ing what you heard;do not minimize or dismiss their feelings.Let them talk more than you do. Normalize that violence is upsetting;that it is hard for anyone to hear about children and families being hurt or killed.Emphasize that you are there to help them through it,whether they feel afraid,worried, angry or even guilty.For informational responses, keep things simple.Answer what they ask,but there’s no need for extensive ex- planations in many cases. Younger kids most likely will not need much detail. Follow your child’s lead on how much they’re im- pacted and what they want to know.Keep communi- cation lines open so your kids know they can contin- ue the discussion when they have more questions or concerns.It’s OK if you don’t have all the answers. A Supporting effective coping:Let children and teens know they are safe, loved and supported by you and other adults around them.If they are concerned for their own safety,reas- sure them that they are safe.Spend time together doing something active and enjoyable like games, sports or storytelling.Share lots of hugs and high-fives if your child likes them. Even if you are feeling pessimistic,share an opti- mism with your kids that things can get better.Your kids will look to you for signs of how to handle things.Take prosocial ac- tions together as a family to participate in community support,humanitarian and relief efforts. News of world violence may be especially challeng- ing for children and youth with a personal history of trauma or who live in com- munities that experience higher rates of violence. Give them extra care and stay close and connected.If you or your child are expe- riencing more severe emo- tional or physical reactions to this world tragedy and violence,such as anxiety, trouble sleeping or focus- ing,reach out for help from your child’s school,child- care provider or pediat- rician.You can also call the Trust-funded 211 Helpline or visit 211Miami.org for local health and social service referrals. The Children’s Trust also provides free parent work- shops across the county as part of its Parent Club that offers more tools caregivers can use to support their children.Visit TheChildrensTrust.org/ ParentClub to sign up for a free workshop near you.
