Lino Lakes Public Services Department <br />600 Town Center Parkway <br />Lino Lakes, MN 55014 <br />(651) 982 -2440 Fax (651) 982 -2439 <br />DATE: April 5, 2004 <br />TO: <br />FROM: Rick De Gardner, Public Services Director <br />SUBJECT: STREET LIGHTS INFORMATION <br />Mayor Bergeson and Council Members <br />BACKGROUND <br />Until 2001, the city had budgeted dollars in the street lighting line item budget to provide <br />funding for the installation of 1 -2 streetlights each year. With the need to reduce the <br />city's budget expenditures, the provision for budgeting for new streetlights has been <br />eliminated since 2002. Consequently, there are not any 2004 general fund dollars <br />available for new streetlights. <br />STREET LIGHT REQUESTS <br />• County Road 14 and Senior Center Parking Lot (2004 estimated cost - $1,400) <br />• Holly Drive and County Road J (2000 estimated cost - $2,800) <br />• Holly Drive and Holly Court (2000 estimated cost - $3,200) <br />• 79th Street and Marilyn Drive (unknown) <br />• Aqua Circle, middle of street (unknown) <br />Installation costs for streetlights are expected to increase 30% - 40% through this Fall. <br />Monthly maintenance and utility costs for streetlights that are installed next year are <br />expected to increase from $6.00 per month to $15.00 per month. Obviously any <br />additional streetlights require the monthly maintenance and utility costs which are <br />budgeted in the Streets Department. <br />4/5/2004 <br />J:\Ricks Folder\Public Works \Street Light requests to council.doc <br />
