move in. The result is a City Hall that is more functional for all users and also more visually pleasing. FOCUS 2000 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN The Focus 2000 Implementation Plan/5 Year Goal Plan was published delivered by a student group the first weekend in August. IMPLEMENTATION OF PROACTIVE STREETLIGHT PLAN The first year of installing streetlights according to the proactive streetlight plan has been implemented with NSP. By the end of the year, 10 new streetlights will be added throughout the City based on the Police Department's needs assessment. To date, 8 lights have been installed and the other two are delayed due to the lengthy process of requesting easement rights from directly affected property owners. The City is waiting for permission from three property owners to complete these last two proactive installations. Also approximately 10 additional lights have been installed in response to petition requests. All but one of these requests met the criteria for installation as well as the Police Departments needs analysis. The one light that did not meet these requirements was given special approval by the Council in October.
