(Motion passed 5-0). 7. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT: A. Street Light Request: 39th St. & Laverne, 39th St. & Lake Elmo Avenue The City received a letter from Donald T. Raleigh, Lake Elmo Bank, requesting that the city install street lights at the intersection of 39th Street North and County Road 17 (Lake Elmo Avenue) and at the intersection of 39th Street North and Laverne Avenue. This request is made out of concern for their customers, employees and the many other people who regularly use 39th Street North. Bohrer reported there would be an installation cost because 39th Street is an underground electric service area, and there are no existing utility poles for which the lights could be mounted. Councilman Mottaz suggested looking into developing a lighting plan for a strip along Hwy 5 from the bank, up to, and including County Road 17, which would add to the safety factor and dress up the area M/S/P Mottaz/John - to direct the city engineer to contact NSP and find out what the installation charge would be for installing street lights at the two locations requested by the Lake Elmo Bank and investigate with NSP the cost of a network lighting system (Motion passed 5-0). When Bohrer makes his written report in advance to the Council, he will send a copy of that letter to the Lake Elmo Bank so they will know the cost estimate in order to make an informed decision. The monthly cost for electricity and maintenance on a street light is about $15/each per month. B.
