Councilwoman Bea1 expressed some confusion tvith regard to priority for installa- tion of lights in the downtown area versus residential areas and co-ordination of street lighting west of the central business district with the community de- velopment program. Councilman Murray clarified intent of the motion. Councilman Haws asked if there was a breakdown of figures to indicate how much money would remain after lighting on the urban renewal streets was taken care of. Traffic Engineer answered that the only cost involved in that lighting would be assumption of the annual energy costs, existing lights had already been amortized and there would be no installation costs. So the entire amount proposed for expenditure could be allocated to other areas if it was desired. Vote was taken on the motion as stated. Motion carried unanimously. Assistant Manager expLJincd by way of giving another viewpoint that if the $45,000 mentioned in conunittce I,:JS spent for new street lighting in neighborhoods and along arterials, it would take all additional $45,000 each subsequent year to pay energy costs. But if the $45,000 was US0J to amortize - spread over ;1 20-year life of the light fixtures - then about 400 or 450 new fixtures could be purchased.
