There will be more red light cameras at Palm Coast intersections, but the City Council will have the final say on the location of new cameras.
With a 4-1 vote, the City Council on Tuesday approved a contract extension with American Traffic Solutions to continue to monitor six Palm Coast intersections with 10 cameras. City Councilman Jason DeLorenzo was the lone vote against red light cameras altogether.
In July 2010, state legislation was passed, increasing the citation price from $125 to $158 under the Mark Wandall Traffic Safety Act. Of the $158, the state takes $83, leaving the city with $75 to split with ATS.
Under the new contract, the city will get $700 per camera per month. Then, a maximum of $4,250 per camera per month would go to ATS. However, there would be a cap of $4,950 per month, and if any camera exceeded that amount, the additional funds would go to the city.
