AGENDA ITEM — lA <br />� <br />�i D�EN HILLS <br />MEMORANDUM <br />DATE: March 10, 2014 <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers <br />Patrick Klaers, City Administrator <br />FROM: Terry Maurer, Public Works Director <br />SUBJECT: County Road E(B-2 District) Feasibility Report <br />The County Road E(B-2 District) Feasibiliry Report was presented at the February 10, 2014 <br />Council Meeting. At that meeting it was the consensus of the Council to hold off approving the <br />feasibility report until further information could be provided on the lighting component of the <br />project to reduce the expense. <br />Approximately two weeks ago staff send by email to the Council information from Xcel Energy <br />regarding lighting options they could provide on the County Road E project. The Xcel <br />information includes two options both based on 200 foot light spacing. (The spacing could be <br />reduced but the cost would rise as more fixtures are added) A copy of the Xcel proposal dated <br />November 25, 2013 is attached. The basic option estimated at approximately $87,000 (City <br />would be responsible for removing the existing lights) is an 18 foot direct bury pole with the <br />standard Colonial fixture. The more expensive option at approximately $202,000 would be the <br />same number of lights (20) but on a 15 foot base mounted pole with a more decorative Vernon <br />fixture. The email from staff also included a map to a project in St. Anthony where the Vernon <br />style fixture was install on a 125 foot spacing. Hopefully the Council was able to take a look at <br />this project in person or on Google Earth. <br />At Monday's work session staff would like to discuss the various street lighting options and <br />determine how the Council would like to proceed. To give the Council a general idea how the <br />Xcel lighting options (at 200 foot spacing) would reduce the proposed assessment rates from the <br />draft feasibiliry report, here are some rypical examples showing the total assessment for all <br />improvements given the various street lighting options: <br />l.
