BACKGROUND1dUSTIFICATIOW
IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED?
Noticed for 14 January 2013 Meeting.
Chapter 6, Section 8 of the City Code establishes a Street Lighting Ordinance for the purpose of
maintaining an equitable means of attributing costs for operation and maintenance of street lighting
over the entire City. The City Code establishes that street lights installed at intersections, along urban
collector and arterial streets, cul-de-sac ends and trail accesses is part of the "standard" street lighting
system. In developed commercial areas within the sanitary sewer service districts, installation of
additional lighting Is defined as "Above Standard Lighting System" to include low mounted decorative
street lights along sidewalks and streets. City staff offers the following additional comments regarding
the proposed service charges for above standard street lights:
■ Financing operation and maintenance of the Standard Street Lighting System is a City-wide
expense funded through the general fund. Developers are required to pay for the installation of
the standard street lighting system and for two years initial operation and maintenance.
Financing operation and maintenance of the Above Standard Street Lighting System is paid
through a special service district initially established in 2010. Imposition of charges related to
the operation and maintenance of the above standard street lighting system requires the City
Council to hold a public hearing and adopt the service charges each year. The special service
district charge for Above Standard Street Lighting System applies only to platted developed and
vacant commercial properties, although the Statutes do allow the City to levy a charge to
undeveloped land guided by the Comprehensive Plan for commercial uses.
• A map identifying the proposed 2013 Above Standard Street Lighting District is attached. There
are no proposed changes to the district boundaries for 2012. There are currently 84 "Type 1"
street lights in these commercial areas. Each Type 1 fixtures costs approximately $16.00 per
month to light for an annual expenditure calculated as follows:
84 existing lights x $16.00 x 12 months = $16,128.00.
• The City has previously included a 50 percent surcharge per light be added to the special service
district charge to accumulate reserve funds for repair/replacement of damaged street lights and
eventual replacement when the street light reaches life expectancy.
■ The past budget for Type 1 street lights within the proposed special service districts have been
as follows:
2010: $23,200.00
2011: $24,192.00
2012: $24,192.00
2013: $24,200.00
• Wright County tax records indicate that there are 42 parcels with an area of 159.61 acres within
the Special Service District that are developed and have Type 1 streetlights installed. The
proposed per acre assessment for these properties is $152.00 and is shown for each property on
the attached resolution. The proposed per acre charge is $15.00 per acre higher than in 2012
due to two lots within the Friendship Addition and three outlots restricted to use as stormwater
basins being excluded from the charges.
