Beecher with appropriate truck <br /> to determine adequacy and extent of area required . It was recommended <br /> that written agreements be obbined from all property owners involved <br /> in private areas over which Village equipment might travel . <br /> Committee recommended that all natural gas and telephone utilities <br /> inquiries and installation arrangements be routed to or through <br /> Maintenance Supervisor for coordination with other utilities . It <br /> • was suggested that utilities companies involved be so advised in <br /> writing . <br /> Committee recommended purchase and installation of two truck mounted <br /> radio units using the New Brighton base station facilities . Estimated <br /> cost was $ 1260. 00 for the two units In addition the purchase of <br /> one portable unit at approximately $652 new without charger or $250 <br /> used was recommended . It was hoped the latter used equipment could <br /> be procured for economy reasons . It was recommended purchase be made <br /> in 1968 if financing can be arranged . <br /> The report from Banister Engineering Co. regarding residential street <br /> lighting was reviewed and committee recommended as follows : <br /> 1 . Any lights installed be on a rental basis for economic <br /> reasons . it was felt that maintenance costs for <br /> Village-owned lights would be much higher than esti - <br /> mated , partly because boom-truck equipment would be <br /> required and more personnel needed . <br /> 2 . The number and location of installations be as <br /> recommended by Public Safety Committee and proposed <br /> "neighborhood citizens + committees . " It was recog- <br /> nized that some individual objections may occur <br /> from locations shown in reports . <br /> 3. Where otherwise feasible and practical , new installations <br /> consider advantages of locating near Village facilities <br /> • (such as sewerage lift stations ) to deter vandalism and <br /> aid maintenance . <br /> - 1 - <br />
