GENERJ~L DISCUSSION OF STREET LIGHTING UTILITY <br /> By: Jessie L. Hart, Finance Officer <br /> <br />CASE <br /> <br />RATE <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />At the regular Co,hncil meeting on May 24, 1994, you will be considering a petition from the <br />residents in GreeniValley Estates Second Addition for the installation of subdivision street lights. <br />While the petition ~,as submitted and is being considered pursuant to Chapter 8 of the City Code, it <br />is necessary that thg City consider the basis of a street lighting utility rate. <br /> <br />At present, the oi~ly street lighting charges that are billed are to residents located in urban <br />subdivisions that ,a ere platted after June 30, 1991, pursuant to Ordinance ~/91-10. This Ordinance <br />requires the devel¢ per to pay for the installation of the street lights and supply three years funding <br />for operations and naintenance charges as a subsidy to keep the rates charged resident down. <br /> <br />In the past, we did not have the facilities to bill residents located outside of the urban service area. <br />Now that we have ~he ability to bill any type of service throughout the community, we can consider <br />petitions for subdi' 'ision lighting in rural subdivisions as well. This is the case of Green Valley <br />Estates Second Ad~ Jtion. <br /> <br />The code does no currently deal with a street lighting utility rate. The attached proposed <br />amendment to Cha[ ~ter 4 of the City Code would facilitate the request for subdivision street lighting <br />by the residents of Green Valley Estates Second Addition and allow the City to proceed with <br />similar request or p::ojects. <br /> <br />The Ordinance, as ~>resented, allows the Council to establish the rate by resolution from time to <br />time, which is consistent with recent revisions and re-codifications to the City Code. It also leaves <br />the option of establ~hing varying rates. " <br /> <br />Committee Actiog: <br /> <br />/:or discussion pu~oses only - actual consideration will be given in a separate case by the City <br />Council on the regular agenda on May 24, 1994. <br /> <br />Reviewed By: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />City Engineer <br />City Attorney <br /> <br />FC: 5/24/94 <br /> <br /> <br />
