CORRECTION: The Sherwood City Council Recap for January 6 has been updated to reflect that the Redflex Traffic Systems contract amendment is for transportable speed safety cameras only, and does not affect the city's existing red light camera contract. The Sun apologizes for the error.

Publishing corrections is a normal and necessary part of responsible journalism. We’re only as good as the information we receive, and we appreciate community members who bring additional or clarifying information to our attention and help us ensure our reporting is accurate and complete.
