. Minutes of Regular Council Meeting, November 24, 1986 Page 3 Public Safety/Works Committee Recommendations Street Li~htin~ Plan Council was referred to the Minutes of the Public Safety/Works Committee Meeting of November 20th, which outlines the Street Light Subcommittee plan. Hansen reviewed the recommendation by the Committee to start the program in 1988 by installing street lights at main and secondary intersections over a period of five years (approximately 25 per year). She noted Paul Malone, committee member, was present to explain the colored attachments and commended . him for the work he had done with the plan; she also thanked the Committee members for their time and efforts. Mayor suggested that Council may decide after hearing Malone's presentation to refer this matter to other Committees for their recommendations. Paul Malone displayed a map which was color coordinated to the charts outlining the street light plan. He described what the charts detailed and summarized the costs for annual energy, servicing and in some cases installation (see PS/W Committee Minutes of 11-20-86). Hansen suggested this matter could be sent to the Finance Committee and Planning Commission for their review and recommendation. Mayor concurred. Hicks commended the committee on their hard work on this matter. Hicks moved, seconded by Peck, that Council refer the Street Lighting Plan, as submitted by the Public Safety/Works Committee, to the Planning Commission and Finance Committee at their respective January 1987 meetings for their review and recommendations. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) Request for Street Li~ht - Katie Lane Cul-de-Sac Council was referred to the PS/W Committee minutes of 11-20-86, regarding the request for a street light on Katie Lane cul-de-sac. Hansen reviewed the reasons for the request; vandalism, arson in home under construction, cul-de-sac used as access to the park. She noted there are a large number of police calls in that area and the Committee recommended installation of the street light and also suggested the Public Works Supervisor place fill in the area used to gain entrance to the park. She advised the Committee had also discussed placing a "Dead End" sign at that location. Peck questioned how this request would affect the street lighting plan previously discussed. Paul Malone explained where Katie Lane is listed in the overall street lighting plan. He added that the Committee expects random requests of this type will come in before the plan is initiated. Hansen stated there was discussion at the 11-20-86 Committee meeting about the plan's not being in effect as yet; that five lights have been budgeted for 1987, and that the police report this is a problem area; based on this rationale, they r~commended the request be granted. She also noted the request . meets all previous criteria set by the PS/W Committee Mayor referred to the Ingerson Road situation, which was similar in nature, and stated that police patrols and blocking the park entrance in that area alleviated the problem. He suggested barricading the park entrance on Katie Lane and requesting police patrols. Sather concurred with Hansen that a light is warranted in this area. Peck stated he is not opposed to a light in this area, but questions its effect on the overall plan. There was Council discussion of similar requests for street lights on Bussard and Wyncrest. Hansen moved, seconded by Sather, that Council approve the installation of a street light on lot 12 in the Katie Lane cul-de-sac. Motion failed. (Hansen, Sather voting in favor; Woodburn, Hicks, and Peck voting in opposition). (2-3) ~- -
