<br />CASE #
<br />
<br />Engineer
<br />
<br />The issue of priority arterial street lighting was discussed at thc Finance Committee meeting on/Iune 28, 1994,
<br />July 26, 1994, and most recently on April 25, 1995. At that meeting, the following actions were taken:
<br />
<br />1)
<br />
<br />Staff was directed to re-prioritize the A - D priorities so as to verify that all A priorities were appropriately
<br />identified, based on the development of the City, since the prior list was prepared.
<br />
<br />2)
<br />
<br />Based on the new list, Staff was directed to calculate the cost of installing all A priorities and billing this
<br />cost directly to all residential properties within the City, utilizing the 20-year amortization.
<br />
<br />As a refresher, the costs to install certain levels, or all levels, of the priority street lights are detailed in the table
<br />below. The costs include the initial installation, annual operation and maintenance costs, and the capital recovery
<br />costs. These numbers reflect the changes made to the list of priorities.

<br />1 Developer contributed installation costs of $18,625
<br />2590.00 per light annually
<br />3Capital cost amortized over 10 years at 8% interest plus O&M costs
<br />4Capital cost amortized over 20 years at 8% interest plus O&M costs
<br />
<br />The following tables detail the cost per residential property if the City were to bill at the various levels, assuming
<br />that the installation would all be completed prior to the beginning of any billing process. It is anticipated that
<br />there will be a one year delay from the beginning of the installations to the point in time when the billings would
<br />begin. Included in the total billable costs is an installation carrying cost amount that will be recovered over a three
<br />year period. At the end of the three years, the rate will be reviewed and adjusted accordingly. It is anticipated
<br />that increases in operation and maintenance costs would offset any decrease due to the carrying costs being
<br />recovered.
<br />
<br />Table 1 is based on a 10 year amortization of cost recovery.
