Authorization
REQUEST: The Community Development Department, Urban Beautification Division, is
requesting authorization to increase the City Standard Street Light Base Rate
from $13.52 to $14.24 per month pursuant to a revised rate schedule from
Progress Energy, effective July 1, 2009. The revised rate represents an increase
of $.72 over the previous rate.
PURPOSE: This agenda item is needed for the City Commission to approve a revision to the
City's Street Light Base Rate as billed by Progress Energy effective July 1, 2009 and
as approved by the Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC).
CONSIDERATIONS:
On April 13, 1998, the City Commission adopted the City Standard `Base' Street
Light consisting of one (1) STD 30/3 5' Concrete Pole attached to one (1) Roadway HPS
100w Cobra Fixture. This street light configuration is provided as a minimum standard along
public roadways throughout the City of Winter Springs. Currently, there is an inventory of
roughly 2300 street lights, decorative and non-decorative, included in the City's street lighting
program.
In December of each year, Progress Energy makes available to the City a revised rate
schedule for street lighting that will become effective January 1st of the upcoming calendar
year. On July 1, 2009, amid-year rate adjustment took affect which increased the monthly
cost of base street lights by $.72 each. Such cost revisions are comprised of rates and fees
which have received approval from the FPSC and are not negotiable by the end user.
Based upon Progress Energy rates approved by the FPSC and published in the rate
schedule (PSC BA-1 No. 6.106) effective July 1, 2009, the City Standard Street Light Base
Rate should be adjusted from $13.52 to $14.24 per month. This cost revision will result in an
increase of roughly $22,500 for one (1) year of service as compared to the previous rate.
FUNDING:
Funding for the City Standard Base Street Light in the amount of $14.24 will continue
to come from the Urban Beautification Street Lighting Line Code (1526-54312). The
Progress Energy Rate Increase effective July 1, 2009 has resulted in an increased expenditure
of approximately $22,500 per year. The abovementioned line code is budgeted at $399,750
for FY 2010 and includes the current rate adjustment.
RECOMMENDATION:
Community Development Department, Urban Beautification Division, recommends
the City Commission approve the Revised 2009 Street Light Base Rate of $14.24 per month,
effective retroactively to July 1, 2009, which represents an increase of $.72 per street light per
month over the previous rate.
IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE:
The Progress Energy street light price revision became effective on July 1, 2009;
therefore, the revised cost would be retroactive to the effective date upon Commission
approval.

Gayle,
Please find the corrected Attachment #2 for Agenda Item C -200 for the City Commission Meeting on
10/26/09. It seems that the rounding feature in Microsoft Excel has caused a problem with the line
totals in the original document.
Good thing I did the calculations manually today as the line total for luminaries and the yearly total
were both not showing the proper numbers. The monthly total of $14.24 is correct and nothing else
in the Agenda Item needs to be changed except the sheet for Attachment #2.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
