So blessings to everyone here.

And we're here to talk about um several different things, right?

Um Connor, you can go ahead and get it going.

Sure thing.

Good afternoon, Councillor Connor.

I'll do in chief operating officer.

Um I'm joined by my colleague here, Jeff Nielsen from Genoptic.

Hi, welcome.

Um thank you for the opportunity to be here, and I'm looking forward to meeting you.

Um, there we go.

No need to share.

Thank you.

Could you tell could you say that again?

Your name again, I'm just Jeff Nielsen.

Jeff, thanks, Jeff.

And I'm with Genophic and responsible for the program management for Syracuse.

Um just a bit of table setting before we we go in.

Um so as uh we've had a number of conversations, we're all familiar with uh there are three components to our school zone traffic enforcement program.

Uh in the spring, we launched our bus stop arms, which are attached to the school buses and pro uh document incidents where vehicles pass a bus when uh students are loading or unloading uh when the camera lights are flashing and the red stop arms out.

Uh at the beginning of the school year on the first day of school, we launched the beginning phases of the next two components of that program, our red light uh uh enforcement program and our school speed zone camera program.

Um all of these work together uh with the intention around uh in an alignment with our vision zero efforts uh to prevent uh traffic and safety violations and to increase the city's ability to enforce uh some of the most egregious examples of of speeding uh in school zones.

Um my understanding is that today we have a number of uh topics or in the past couple of weeks.

We've had some questions about uh data security and privacy and things like that.

We're um have a number of folks in the audience today from various departments from API and digital services, from the law department, municipal violations bureau, SPD, school district.

Goodness, quite a few people here um that can talk about uh a number of issues or any questions or concerns.

Um happy to turn it back to the council for any any questions.

I just want to um ask about I know that we're talking about uh underground at the stained school.

Right.

So we're talking about the how do I want to say it?

I guess all of the utilities underground are adequated, so we're trying to actually bring those up to speed, and with Genop get, can't say their name, um we're looking to put together a pop, I don't want to say policy, but where they'll be responsible with us for the maintenance of the underground stuff.

Right.

So um I'll Jeff Jeff can speak to that in a little bit more detail, but um just as a uh recollection for everyone, um, on on Monday, the council did pass the revocable permission agreement, uh, which is a fairly standard uh permission that allows a third party to uh deploy or uh locate their equipment in the public right of way.

Um and then some components of that agreement were around uh liability for if things during the construction period get damaged, other existing equipment that's in there.

There's some electrical conduits for street lights and traffic signals and things like that underground there, um, that you know there would be uh responsible cost sharing um on the on the part of Genoptic to cover any damages.

Um the reason why that location in particular was um being held until we had that revocable permission in hand uh was that the majority of our speed camera program uses overhead electrical powering.

So the wires could drop down from from overhead, and it doesn't require getting underground and potentially damaging anything.

Um in that downtown location, and in that location, um those conduits are the oldest uh conduits that the program will be utilizing is shared space, basically a tube underneath the roadway that you know contains a number of different pieces of equipment.

Um and that was one that just because of the age of those conduits, um, sometimes when you're getting underground in construction, um, you know, things can be damaged or or crushed the conduit canon.

So you want to make sure that we're being as as cautious as we can be in uh installing that infrastructure.

Okay.

So with that saying, once we install, so for those people who are not like tech savvy and understand all of this, right?

Because this is a this is a lot, right?

Um so once it's installed underground, right?

Then how maintain maintaining this, where does that fall with the city, with genoptics, the fee, the pay, like what does that look like moving forward once they're gonna do that?

Sure.

So I'll I'll speak quickly to just the um cost sharing, um, and then I'll I'll turn it over to Jeff for any uh specifics around maintenance.

Um so these programs across the country typically are uh put into place where the contractor that the our our partner will um it's their equipment, so they pay for the the procurement and installation of that equipment, and then as a result of being located within our right-of-way, we share in the revenue for any uh dollars that are generated through fines or violations.

And uh it's a little bit different across the three programs, but it's typically around Jeff.

Do you have do you know this off the top of your head?

The Rev show to Genoptic.

Right.

Thir35 on speed and red light program, it's 35% to Genoptic, 65% to the city, and then on the bus stop arm 45 to Genoptic.

45 to Genoptic and 55 to the city.

Thank you very much, Jeff.
