• MEMO TO: MAYOR & COUNCILMEMBERS FROM: MARY SAARION, DIRECTOR PARKS, RECREATION & FORESTRY DATE: NOVEMBER 20, 1992 SUBJECT: SECURITY LIGHT AT GROVELAND PARK Councilmember Quick requested that I look into options for the security light at Groveland Park located on the northeast side of the basketball court. The light is providing enough light for youth to be playing on the basketball court during late hours of the evening, and making enough noise to disturb neighboring residents. I have requested Bacon Electric to look into the situation. Don from Bacon Electric has provided several options and estimated costs for each. The options are as follows: Option # 1 Disconnect the security light. The wires would simply be disconnected. The result will be that the fixture would be present, but it would not be functioning. The estimated cost is $45. 00. • Option #2 Move the fixture to another pole, possibly the southeast pole the one that the electrical box is on. The wires could be fed to this location. The estimated cost is $500. 00. This may not result in a remedy because there will be enough light for the bangboard, and perhaps enough spill light to the basketball court. Option #3 Put in a directional light either at the northeast or southeast pole shining towards the park building. This may still allow enough light for basketball play. Such directional lighting is provided at Lambert Park shining towards the new playground equipment. The cost of this option is approximately $750. 00. Option #4 Another option is to have the light put on a photo cell that tells it to turn off at 10: 00 p.m. when park curfew is in effect. However, this would not serve as a security light, rather it would serve as a play light only in the fall months after daylight savings time has discontinued and until the snow 40 arrives. This option would only cost approximately $45. 00.
