City Manager <br />Robert C. Speake, City <br />Proposed Streetlights <br />Engineer og <br />for Spenwick Subdivision <br />The service plan for the Spenwick/Collegeview Annexation adopted by <br />Ordinance 1393 on December 28, 1983 does commit the City to furnish <br />street light for the subdivision. <br />The staff has reviewed the street light spacing in the subdivision <br />throughout the City. The spacing ranges from 150-225 in some <br />subdivisions to 325-460 in others. The'recommendation for staff <br />reflects a street light at every corner and at least one mid -block <br />resulting in a spacing of 250-350. This spacing results in the <br />placement of 36 lights on ornamental poles and 13 lights placed on <br />existing wooden poles. <br />The street lights proposed are 9500 lumen high pressure sodium lights <br />and would be placed on existing wooden poles if possible. All <br />mid -block street lights would be placed on the standard aluminum <br />ornamental poles with underground wiring extended to the overhead <br />power source located in the rear of each lot. <br />Currently Houston Lighting and Power Co. is charging $4.25 per month <br />for each light on a wooden pole and $16.85 per month for each light on <br />an ornamental pole. <br />It is anticipated that the project could not be installed prior to the <br />end of March and we would be responsible for only six (6) months <br />billing of $661.85 per month for the lights. The total annual fee <br />based on the current charges would be $7942.20 for the lights in <br />Spenwick Place Subdivision. The City's FY 87-88 Budget for electric <br />comsumption may experience a slight increase due to this action. <br />BS/nb <br />
