Since they were put in Aug. 15, the cameras have nabbed thousands of red light runners. The cameras were installed by the American Traffic Solutions (ATS) and they are working without a hitch, except for one thing.

“We didn’t go to a public meeting and have council formally ratify the contract between us and our vendor,” Massoni said.
