Mr. Olson presented a handout indicating what affect <br />lighting would have on the area. <br />Leo Offerman, Utility Services Representative for Connexus Energy, explained that Connexus <br />Energy provides street lights to the City of Ramsey specifications. Mr. Offerman reviewed the <br />design of the lighting explained that the City has been providing cut off style of lights to provide <br />the proper amount of light on the roadway without the glare of light above. The light is designed <br />to push the light out onto the roadway and not onto the property. <br />Mr. Jagerson stated that he does not want the light at all, but if it is going to be installed he would <br />prefer a house side shield on the back so that when he looks out the window he will not see the <br />glare. <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that it seemed that if the light were placed on the side of the <br />road from Mr. Jagerson there would be less light on his property. <br />Mr. Jagerson replied that he would prefer to have more light than have to stare at the are tube. <br />Mr. Offerman stated that he has not used the house shield like Mr. Jagerson is requesting, so he <br />would not know how beneficial that would be. <br />Principal City Engineer Olson inquired if Mr. Jagerson knew where they could purchase the <br />house shield. <br />Mr. Jagerson replied that he could provide that information. <br />• <br />Public Works Committee/November 19, 2002 <br />Page 2 of 15 <br />
