(13)(a) Except as provided in (d) of this subsection, a county or a city may only use revenue generated by an automated traffic safety camera program as authorized under this section for: (i)Traffic safety activities related to construction and preservation projects and maintenance and operations purposes including, but not
limited to, projects designed to implement the complete streets approach as defined in RCW 47.04.010, changes
in physical infrastructure to reduce speeds through road design, and changes to improve safety for active transportation users, including improvements to access and safety for road users with mobility, sight, or other disabilities; and (ii) The cost to administer, install, operate, and maintain the automated traffic safety cameras, including the cost of processing infractions. (b) Except as provided in (d) of this subsection: p. 6 ESHB 2384.SL (i) The automated traffic safety camera program revenue used by a county or city with a population of 10,000 or more for purposes described in (a)(i) of this subsection must include the use of revenue in census tracts of the city or county that have household incomes in the lowest quartile determined by the most currently available census data and areas that experience rates of injury crashes that are above average for the city or county.

direct and meaningful traffic safety benefits to these communities. Revenue used to administer, install, operate,
and maintain automated traffic safety cameras, including the cost of processing infractions, are excluded from determination of the proportionate share of revenues under this subsection

RENTON POLICE DEPARTMENT
Ordinance Proposal
Opportunity for the City of Renton to lead
the region with a unique ordinance that
balances treatment with mandatory minimum jail sentences
The thematic goal of the ordinance is to offer a direct line to treatment, more effectively and efficiently than our
past/current processes.
Compassion through accountability; the
offender (repeat offender) has a choice,
the opportunity to comply with treatment. The mandatory minimum jail sentence is
built in as accountability – but allows an
offender to choice to opt into treatment at any point of their mandatory sentence (day one, day 15, or day 29).
