,,~ree! Light System ,",,,~ ~".'iry's priority intersection street lighting system includes placing a cobra head light at all 5~ic:~-;~tions of Stat: trunk highways, county roads and arterial City streets. A four tiered priority schedule was established for this system. A currant estimate for the installation and annual ,-~:?~. ~¢~on of the system is presented below: Estimated Installation Annual _Operation & Maintenance Costs A 18 $16,000 $1,620 A & B 41 $36,100 $3,690 A,B & C 57 $50,200 $5,130 Complem 137 $120,600 $12,330 The estimate for the complete priority lighting system is based upon the number of priority intersections in existence in 1991 when the original policy was developed. It is reasonable to anticipate that future developments will create additional intersections which would be added to the priority intersection system. An increase of 10% to 15% within the next ten years seems likely. At the present time, the City has expended approximately $14,000 to install 15 priority street lights. In addition to the above, the City established a policy in 1991 that all future urban plats will receive "Tradifionaire" subdivision lighting. The developer pays the capital cost and three years operations and maintenance costs prior to filing the subdivision plat. As homes are placed on the utility system a monthly operating charge for street lights is also put into effect. It is expected that this procedure Mil allow for lot vacancies which will exist beyond the three year period covered by the developer contribution. prgiec/ - Marble District Year Priority A Intersections N/A Priority B Intersections N/A Priority C Intersections N/A Sweet Light Fund Street Light Fund Street Light Fund MUNICIPAL FACILITIES IMPROVEMENTS l;or a number of years the City of Rarnsey has been discussing expanding or replacing the existing Public Works facilities at 142nd Avenue N.W. and Trunk Highway g47. Within this Capital Improvements Program, it is projected that $1.5 million be encumbered in 1996 to either expand or replace this facility or to construct a joint facility with another public or private parry. With continued growth of the community, the Fire Depatu.uent has been studying the needs and requirements of a satellite facility located in the vicirfity of Central Park. Within this Capital Improvements Program, in 1998, such a facility, in addition to an expansion of the apparatus room at the existing facility located at City Hall, is projected at a cost $475,000 out of the General Fund. A $750,000 projection has been made for 1998 out of the General Fund for expansion of the existing police facilities. It is contemplated, at this time, that the issue of expansion of both the police and fire facilities and siting of a satellite fire facility would be taken up with the voters through a referendum but that planning and needs studies for such should occur beginning in the 1995/1996 time frame. It is further contemplated that the public works facility, projected herein as
