lighting unit and number of lighting units to be installed based on the
classification of streets.
In developed areas within the sanitary sewer service district, installation of
additional lighting is defined as "Above Standard Lighting System" to include mid -
block street lights along local residential streets, increased numbers of lighting
units and use of more expensive ornamental fixtures in commercial areas and
greater numbers of lighting units in industrial areas.
Financing operation and maintenance of the Standard Street Lighting System
would be a City-wide expense.
M Financing operation and maintenance of the Above Standard Street Lighting
System would be paid via a per unit charge on the City utility bill based on the
type of property and above standard lighting system.
Installation of the lighting systems in new developments would continue to be a
developer responsibility including payment for two years operation of the street
lighting system.
The draft ordinance includes a petition process for requesting installation of
additional street lights in developed areas with the costs assigned by the City
Council in consideration of the petition.
The City Council will review the draft Street Lighting Ordinance at a work session on 16
April 2008. City staff is seeking comment as to the general direction of the proposed
ordinance. If the draft ordinance is generally acceptable, City staff will work to finalize
the regulation in terms of calculating proposed Above Standard Street Lighting system
costs, preparing related Engineering Manual updates and scheduling consideration of
the ordinance at a future City Council meeting.
