MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH:
Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM:
Scott Curtin, Public Works Director
DATE:
December 26, 2023
SUBJECT:
Ordinance 3386-2024 Street Light Assessments
This memo requests Council's approval to begin assessment of the City's Street Lighting. As
Council is aware, the aging street lighting infrastructure, much of which is now 40-50 years old,
continues to be challenging to maintain. The Capital Improvement Plan has had a preliminary
project moving forward to begin addressing the deficiencies. The FY2025 Capital Improvement
Plan will include funding for design and construction of a project to be identified within this
assessment.
This Ordinance will provide funding now to ensure funds are being directed toward the areas of
greatest need. The assessment will include the review of the existing electrical services and
lighting control panels, light fixtures and poles, wiring condition and location. It is anticipated that
the number of street lighting maintenance projects that will be identified will take several years to
fund and complete. Council will see updates to the Capital Improvement Plan as these projects
are identified and phased accordingly to meet budgetary requirements.
This is a priority project for the department. Reliable street lighting continues to be a high
expectation from our citizens. Completion of this work now will assist the department in meeting
this need.
Council's approval is respectfully requested.
