He stated that he called the City three <br />years ago opposing the light. Mr. Jagerson explained that the street only serves about 21 homes <br />between Armstrong Boulevard and Variolite Street. <br />Principal City Engineer Olson explained that 158th Lane and Variolite was identified as an area <br />for needing a priority street light. One of the primary reasons for the streetlights is to provide for <br />safer intersections. Mr. Olson stated that he did have an opportunity to talk to Mr. Jagerson this <br />morning and did stop the installation of the light before it was installed to give Mr. Jagerson an <br />opportunity to voice his concerns. He also contacted Connexus Energy about the issue and they <br />provided a handout for the Committee's review indicating the type of light that would be <br />installed. <br />Motion by Councilmember Hendriksen, seconded by Councilmember Kurak, to add the priority <br />street light issue as Case #A to the agenda. <br />• Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec and Councilmembers Hendriksen, Kurak, Anderson, <br />and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. <br />Public Works Committee/November 19, 2002 <br />Page 1 of 15 <br />
