Amount Requested: $300,000
Budgeted Item: YES NO
SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
The City of La Porte is planning to purchase land for future economic development from the Neighborhood Center Inc in
the amount of $550,000 dollars. At this time, the Community Investment Fund does not have sufficient funds to purchase
this land; consequently, we are requesting a transfer from the General Fund of $300,000 to assist in the procurement of the
land acquisition. Historically, the Community Investment Fund receives the lion's share of its revenue from the General
Fund. The General Fund's current Fund balance is $6,842,833 dollars of which $6,632,833 is undesignated, which
equates to ninety-two days of working capital after the transfer of $300,000. The working capital balance of 92 days is
within our current financial policy for the General Fund of 90 to 120 days of working capital.
Recommendation
Staff recommends using a portion of the General Fund's available fund balance to finance this project.
Action Required by Council:
Instruct the Assistant Director of Finance to amend the 2003-04 Adopted Budget for the Community Investment Fund
(036) and General Fund (001) by $300, 000.O k T1( 04ax- tuo Co 3to)

RE: Streetlighting Projects
RE QED
MAR 16 200j'
CITY s1ri:RETi4RY-8
OFFICE
The following report is in response to recent concerns from area residents regarding insufficient
streetlighting along specific roadways in town.
The report establishes two projects each consisting of two streets. Each project proposes a plan
to address the installation of additional streetlighting in order to increase roadway safety and
visibility as cited by local residents as areas of concern. In preparation of these plans staff has
consulted with CenterPoint's service area representative, Clayton Redmon.
These projects are as follows:
• North' I;' Street and North 'Tr Street Streetlighting
• North "D" Street and Josh Way Streetlighting
NORTH "L" STREET & NORTH "H" STREET PROJECT
North "L" Street (Sens Road to Underwood Road):
Existing Conditions:
North "L" St. is a County -maintained, 2-Lane asphalt road with an open -ditch drainage system.
In reference to the City of La Porte's Comprehensive Thoroughfare Plan this road serves as a
collector street for the "Lomax" area.
The average spacing between existing streetlights along the roadway is 496'. There are currently
a total of 103 power poles along North "L". Of these, 22 poles are equipped with a streetlight.
Recommendation:
Our recommendation calls for adding 14 (9,500 Lumen —100 Watt), 3 (16.000 Lumen —150
Watt), and 1 (25,500 Lumen — 250 Watt) new streetlights on existing poles (see attached map).
This plan will reduce the average spacing of streetlights from 496' to 273'.
• Pg. 2
Additionally, we proposed installing an upgraded type of lighting fixture from the typical 9500
Lumen, 100-Watt, High Pressure Sodium light to an enhanced 16,000 Lumen, 150-Watt, High
Pressure Sodium Light along the frontage of the Lomax Elementary School and Lomax Junior
High School locations. Consideration for these brighter streetlights will assist in minimizing
visibility safety hazards for students, parents, faculty, and North "L" Street motorists.
Furthermore, we proposed installing an enhanced 25,500 Lumen, 250-Watt, High Pressure
Sodium Light at the intersection of North "L" Street and Sens. Consideration for this brighter
streetlight will assist in minimizing visibility safety hazards for motorists in this intersection of a
collector and primary arterial road.
Cost:
Based on Centerpoint Energy's current streetlighting rates, the monthly service cost of this plan
will be $64.27. The annual cost of the North "L" Street project will be $771.24 based on the
following:
New 9500 Lumen light/existing pole: $3.49/Month x 12 Months = $41.88Near x 14 lights = $586.32
New 16,000 Lumen light/existing pole: $3.49/Month x 12 Months = $41.88Near x 3 lights = $125.64
New 25,500 Lumen light/existing pole: $4.94/Mouth x 12 Months = 59.28Near x 1 light = $59.28
North IIH" Street (Sens Road to Underwood Road):
Existing Conditions:
North "IT' Street is a City -maintained, 2-Lane, asphalt road with an open -ditch drainage system.
In reference to the City of La Porte's Comprehensive Thoroughfare Plan this road serves as a
collector street for the south side of the "Lomax" area.
The average spacing between existing streetlights along the roadway is 475'. There are currently
a total of 134 power poles along North "H". Of these, 23 poles are equipped with a streetlight.
Recommendation:
Our recommendation calls for adding 16 (9,500 Lumen —100 Watt), 1(16.000 Lumen —150
Watt), and 1 (25,500 Lumen — 250 Watt) new streetlights on existing poles (see attached map).
This plan will reduce the average spacing of streetlights from 475' to 266'.
Additionally, we proposed installing an upgraded type of lighting fixture from the typical 9500
Lumen, 100-Watt, High Pressure Sodium light to an enhanced 16,000 Lumen, 150-Watt, High
Pressure Sodium Light at the intersection of North "H" Street and Loc Loma Lane.
Consideration for this brighter streetlight will assist in minimizing visibility safety hazards for
motorists/pedestrians at the first entrance to the neighborhood. Furthermore, we proposed
installing an enhanced 25,500 Lumen, 250-Watt, High Pressure Sodium Light at the intersection
of North "H" Street and Sens. Consideration for this brighter streetlight will assist in
minimizing visibility safety hazards for motorists in this intersection of a collector and primary
arterial road.

Cost.
Based on Centerpoint Energy's current streetlighting rates, the monthly service cost of this plan
will be $64.27. The annual cost of the North "IF' Street project will be $771.24 based on the
following:
New 9500 Lumen light/existing pole: $3.49/Month x 12 Months = $41.88/Year x 16 lights = $670.08
New 16,000 Lumen light/existing pole: $3.49/h4onth x 12 Months = $41.88/Year x 1 lights = $41.88
New 25,500 Lumen light/existing pole: $4.94/Month x 12 Months = 59.28/Year x 1 light = $59.28
Total Annual Cost for North "L"St & North "H" St Streedighting Project = $1,542.48
NORTH "D" STREET & JOSH WAY
North "D" Street (Sens Road to End):
Existing Conditions:
North "D" Street is a City -maintained, 2-Lane, asphalt road with an open -ditch drainage system.
In reference to the City of La Porte's Comprehensive Thoroughfare Plan this road serves as a
local street to the Spencer Landing Subdivisions.
The average spacing between existing streetlights along the roadway is 260'. There are currently
a total of 40 power poles along North "D" St. Of these, 13 poles are equipped with a streetlight.
Recommendation:
Our recommendation calls for adding 1 (25,500 Lumen — 250 Watt) on an existing pole at the
intersection of North "D" Street and Sens Road. Consideration for this brighter streetlight will
assist in minimizing visibility safety hazards.for motorists in this intersection of a collector and
primary arterial road.

Cost:
Based on Centerpoint Energy's current streetlighting rates, the monthly service cost of this plan
will be $4.94. The annual cost of the North "D" Street project will be $59.28 based on the
following:
New 25,500 Lumen light/existing pole: $4.94/Month x 12 Months = 59.28/Year x 1 light = $59.28
Josh Way:
Existing Conditions:
Josh Way is a City -maintained, 2-Lane, concrete curb and gutter roadway. The street serves as a
residential street in the Spencer Landing Subdivision.
The streetlighting layout for Josh Way was designed in accordance with existing City standards
for streetlighting in a residential subdivision (i.e. 200' spacing with lighting provided at street
intersections) at the time of subdivision platting.
Recommendation:
The City does not recommend an additional light between Jessica Dr. and Tanya Dr. Per
existing City standards there is currently a 200' spacing between existing streetlights on Josh
Way. An assessment of costs and applicability is being conducted for an upgrade from 9500
lumen —100 watt to 25,5001umen — 250 watt for the existing streetlights in the Spencer Landing
Subdivision.
Total Annual Cost for North "D" St & Josh Way St Streedighting Project = $59.28
COMPREHENSIVE RECOMMENDATION
A variance in wattage and lumens will be visually noticeable with the installation of the
recommended 25,5001umen — 250-watt and 16,000 lumen —150-watt streetlights in comparison
to the existing 9,500 lumens —100-watt streetlights throughout the majority of the City of La
Porte. The difference in perception will be uncoordinated in the induction phase of the
Streetlight Plan, but it will generate tremendous benefits in the imminent future by enhancing
illumination in vital areas. Additionally, different grades of road finish between asphalt and
concrete constitutes the classification and spacing within streetlights, in regards to reflection
pattern. If applicable, staff would desire police department patrols of existing streetlight
requests. This will allow access to the streetlight requests to be viewed in the evening hours,
therefore, addressing malfunctioning streetlights. This process will assist in streamlining the
streetlight repairs in a more effective and efficient manner.
