The system may be managed by a private contractor that owns and operates the requisite equipment. The Police Chief shall retain supervisory control over the system and, with prior City Council approval, shall determine the exact deployment of the system components throughout the city. The contractor shall provide photographic and/or video images of any potential violations to the Police Department to review and, in the event the Police Department determines a vehicle was operated in violation of the city's traffic code ordinances, the Police Department shall direct that a notice of automated traffic citation be issued to the vehicle owner in accordance with the provisions of this section.
