(Sponsored by7 Administration and Prepared by Village Attorney John C. Dellagloria, Esq.)8 9 Item 11A was moved by Councilmember Steve Cody and seconded by Vice Mayor10 Leanne Tellam.11 12 The following individual spoke during the public comment section and allotted three13 minutes to address the Council.14 15  Gary Pastorella (6940 SW 142 nd Terrace): expressed his opposition to the16 item.17 18 Village Attorney John Dellagloria explained that several months ago, the Council19 approved an agreement with Red Speed, and both he and the Village Manager20 worked diligently to finalize the terms. He reported that he and the County Attorney21 have reached an agreement on the proposed contract. However, he emphasized a22 key provision in Section 5 of the ordinance, noting that state law requires the Village23 to issue a public announcement about the speed detection system and conduct a24 public awareness campaign at least 30 days before implementing the program. As25 a result, the program will not be launched until February 2025.26 27 David Paella, Representative of Red Speed Florida (Sunrise Office), reported that28 the Village of Pinecrest and the City of South Miami have already joined the29 program. He noted that similar initiatives have been successfully launched at ten30 schools in Miami-Dade County and implemented in over 200 schools nationwide.31 The primary goal of the program is to modify driver behavior and encourage32 motorists to slow down near school zones. Using the Town of Bal Harbor as an33 example, Paella explained that the objective is to foster a culture where drivers34 automatically comply with speed limits, prioritizing the safety of children in school35 zones.36 37 Councilmember Marsha Matson raised questions about Schedule 1 of the proposed38 contract, specifically the allocation of 35% of revenue to Red Speed. She also39 inquired about the portion of revenue that would be allocated to Palmetto Bay or the40 Miami-Dade County Police Department.41 42 Mr. Paella explained that the program is regulated by state law and outlined the43 various allocations of revenue, which include the State of Florida, the Law44 Enforcement Trust Fund, school crossing guard programs in the Village, Miami-45 Dade County Public Schools, and the Village of Palmetto Bay. He noted that the46 distribution is determined locally and emphasized that the funds must be used for47 public safety initiatives.48 49 10

MINUTES Regular Council Meeting – November 4, 2024 Page 4 of 12 Councilmember Marsha Matson questioned if the funds received by the Village1 would be allocated to the Village’s Police Department fund or the county’s police2 fund.3 4 Village Manager Nick Marano he’ll be able to provide a more detailed report once5 the program is implemented. At that point, he would have data on police overtime6 costs and reported that the Village would need an officer to review violations, as well7 as other internal overhead costs. He explained that he does not anticipate overhead8 costs to be significant; however, he would have a better understanding of the final9 numbers after implementation.10 11 Mr. Paella explained that approximately 5% of residents in Pinecrest are being cited,12 and about 2% of those seek an administrative hearing. He reported that if a person13 is stopped by an officer, they’re facing a $400.00 fine plus points on their license.14 He stated that the fine changes riving behavior.15 16 Councilmember Steve Cody questioned if the funds that the Village would receive17 (approximately $39.00) could be used to fund an annual reminder for motorists18 about school starting and the need to slow down.19 20 Village Manager Nick Marano responded yes, and that information campaigns and21 promotional materials can be funded from the public safety budget.22 23 Mr. Paella reported that at Red Speed, the company encourages public education24 and explained that they have a high-quality YouTube page where videos are25 produced for all our clients. He reported that there are two versions available that26 clients can use to upload to their websites to continually educate residents and27 visitors about the campaign.28 29 Councilmember Marsha Matson questioned the minutes or hours before and after30 school zone times that will be enforced when the program is in place.31 32 Mr. Paella responded that the enforcement period would start half an hour before33 the school’s breakfast time and would end half an hour after school dismissal time.34 He explained that enforcement throughout the day is dependent on the speed limits35 during those times and that the approach aligns with the intent of the legislature—36 to change driver behavior and mentality as they approach schools. He also37 explained that as part of the process, Red Speed would have a designated point of38 contact within the County and the Village to provide advance notice of schedule39 changes.40 41 Councilmember Marsha Matson questioned if the program would include private42 schools as well as the public schools in the Village.43 44 Mr. Paella responded yes, and that any school located within a designated school45 zone is eligible to be part of the program.46 47 Mayor Karyn Cunningham questioned if the cameras taking pictures of license48 plates for a license plate reader system would be included too.49 11

MINUTES Regular Council Meeting – November 4, 2024 Page 5 of 12 Mr. Paella responded yes, and that it was part of the system too.1 2 Mayor Karyn Cunningham questioned if License Plate Readers are already in effect3 in Palmetto Bay.4 5 Village Manager Nick Marano explained that while the Village has already deployed6 License Plate Readers (LPRs) as part of the Palmetto Bay Police Unit, the Red7 Speed program would significantly expand their coverage. This expansion would8 provide law enforcement with enhanced tools to track stolen vehicles and strengthen9 the existing network-given the major roads in school zones within Palmetto Bay, it10 would have a substantial impact on crime prevention and vehicle recovery.11 12 Mr. Paella reported that for every speed camera installed, there will be an associated13 license plate reader. The more cameras the Village has, the better the system’s14 effectiveness would be to promote driver behavior.15 16 Vice Mayor Leanne Tellam expressed her concerns, particularly about the school17 bus cameras. However, she emphasized the importance of receiving regular reports18 on the matter. She shared her personal experience of having to challenge a few19 tickets over the years and noted that when she reached out to the police, they were20 very helpful, offering guidance and support. She appreciated their willingness to21 assist and acknowledged that their perspective differed from her own initial22 concerns. Vice Mayor Tellam communicated unease about the increasing23 monitoring but recognized it as a reality of modern life. She stressed the importance24 of ensuring that individuals can challenge tickets if they believe they were wrongly25 issued, which she views as a critical part of the contract. While she has some26 reservations, she indicated that the program has her tentative support, contingent27 on these considerations.28 29 Mr. Paella responded that Red Speed would establish a dedicated phone number30 and a point of contact for customer service, with a clear process outlined on the31 violation notice for requesting a hearing. He reported that there are different factors32 involved in issuing a violation, particularly when distinguishing between a speed33 violation and a school bus violation. He explained that even if the equipment is34 functioning prop
