RESOLUTION

Background/History

The Department received a petition (see attached) requesting the City to purchase and install one (1) street light mid block of the 700 block of Walnut Drive, see attached map labeled as Attachment 1. The petition stated that the proposed street light would provide security and motorist safety lighting for a residential area in the roadway. The proposed street light would be located in the northern right of way of Walnut Drive and west of the bridge crossing. Staff has received 107 signatures from the multi-family residents adjacent to the proposed street light in support of the proposed location. Gaffney’s PMI is the 2010 awarded street light vendor for the City and the unit prices are reflective of the contract.

The proposed expenditure would be expended from the following account:
