AGENDA MEMO
City Council
May 3, 2010
Issue Statement
Approval of a resolution to accept a proposal from Gaffney’s PMI for
the purchase and installation of one (1) street light at the northeast corner of
Adams Street and Sleepy Hollow Lane in an amount not to exceed $4,420.00.
Background/History
The Department received a petition (see attached)
requesting the City to purchase and install one (1) street light at the
northeast corner of Adams Street and Sleepy Hollow Lane, 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. Staff has spoken with Mr
Robert Cleary, Acting President of the Homeowners Association and petitioner
and stated that the residents are in support of the proposed light and
location. Please note that one signature was in opposition of the proposed
street light due to light glare into the residence. Also, the resident stated
that a stop sign would be an alternative solution than a street light. Another
adjacent resident, who was for the street light, also stated that he was
concerned about light glare. Director Gombac had visited both residents and
informed them that light shields would be installed if the conditions were
warranted. 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:
