586 <br />Mr. Schwartz noted the findings with the City of West St. Paul study by Xcel <br />587 <br />Energy that the LED's were not reducing wattage as much as he anticipated, and <br />588 <br />advised that it was meeting the measured lights trying to be achieved; and as <br />589 <br />noted by Member DeBenedet, the perception that they were brighter or providing <br />590 <br />more light. <br />591 <br />592 <br />Mr. Schwartz reviewed various types of lighting and their uses (e.g. building wall <br />593 <br />packs of which there are a significant number around the maintenance building) <br />594 <br />versus lighting for pedestrian areas and what the goal was, whether for safety for <br />595 <br />walking or appearing lit for security purposes. <br />596 <br />597 <br />Vice Chair Stenlund opined that, while the LED lighting may not be brighter and <br />598 <br />create the same visual appearance, a reduction from 150 to 90 watts was still <br />599 <br />significant. <br />600 <br />601 <br />Mr. Schwartz concurred that it was a measurement versus perception concept. <br />602 <br />603 <br />While agreeing with the proposed plan in 2013 and 014, Mem eBenedet <br />604 <br />suggested that the 2015 plan be re- evaluated to see it made sense b on the <br />605 <br />learning curve of those first two (2) years. <br />606 <br />607 <br />Mr. Schwartz concurred, noting that each yeNreed additional review before <br />608 <br />construction to make sure the right fixtures were being retrofitted. <br />609 <br />610 <br />Vice Chair Stenlund asked if he could submit the project to student engineers as a <br />611 <br />Capstone Project; with Mr. Schwartz agreeing that it would be a great idea. <br />612 <br />627 Activities and accomplishments <br />628 • Comprehensive Storm water Management Plan <br />629 • Drafting of Complete Streets Policy <br />630 • Recycling Contract and Community Values Process and draft RFP <br />631 • Revised Assessment Policy <br />Page 14 of 15 <br />
